Blowing Sand Company also has the Blast fan model. It is the company’s top-selling model with sales of 30,000 units per year. Th

is model has a dual fan as well as a thermostat component that causes the fan to cycle on and off depending on the room temperature. Blowing Sand has always manufactured the thermostat component but is considering buying the part from a supplier. It costs Blowing Sand $5 to make each thermostat ($2.50 variable and $2.50 fixed). Flurry Co. has offered to sell the component to Blowing Sand for $4. Blowing Sand’s decision to purchase the part from Flurry would eliminate all variable costs but none of the fixed costs. Blowing Sand has no other possible uses for the area currently dedicated to the thermostat production. Calculate the effect on Blowing Sand's annual total costs if the thermostat is purchased from Flurry Co.

Answer:

The effect of purchasing thermostat from Flurry Co. on Blowing Sand's annual total cost: it will rise by $45,000

Explanation:

Blowing Sand fixed cost allocated to thermostat manufacture : Fixed cost allocated to a unit x Manufactured Amount = $2.5 x 30,000 = $75,000

If Blowing Sand continues to manufacture thermostat component, the total cost relating to this activity will be: Unit cost x Manufactured Amount = $5 x 30,000 = $150,000

If Blowing Sand outsources the manufacture to Flurry Co., the total cost relating to this activities will include: Cost paid to Flurry Co. for the Manufacture of 30,000 thermostat + Fixed cost allocated to thermostat manufacture ( because Blowing Sand has no other possible uses for the area dedicated to thermostat production, thus fixed cost can not be saved). Thus the total cost for this option will be: 4 x 30,000 + 75,000 = $195,000

So, the if Blow sand continues to product thermostat component, the cost will be $45,000 lower comparing the outsourcing option, i.e: $150,000 in comparison to $195,000 respectively.

erik [133]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

It is said that the required ending inventory for the month is $15000 and 20% of the next month's sales.

We are considering the month of march here, therefore the ending merchandise inventory is $15000- and 20% of April's sales.

Given:

April's sales = $91,000

Hence, 20% of April's sales = 0.2*91000 = $18200

Hence, ending merchandise inventory for March = 15000 + 18200 = $33,200

You currently own 100 shares of stock in Beverly Brothers Inc. The stock currently trades at $120 a share. The company is contem
Gwar [14]

Answer:

No option is correct, since you will have 200 shares and each share should be worth around $60.

Explanation:

If the 2-for-1 stock split takes place then you will have 200 shares instead of 100. For every 1 share that you currently own, the corporation will issue another share.

Since the price of the shares was $120 before the stock split, after the stock split the price will be divided by two (the same proportion). So each new share will cost approximately $60.

In order for option 2 to be correct, the stock spit should have been 3-for-1.
