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.

Create a business decision based on the company where you work (can be any company), a small business you hope to own someday or
Naya [18.7K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The business decision based on the company where you work would be this. To open a new small branch of the fast-food restaurant as a concession in the municipal stadium.

The incremental cost is the future costs as a result of this business decision. This means that we have to consider extra money on a monthly basis to pay for the rent of the concession booth at the Municipal stadium.

The opportunity cost is that instead of opening our branch in the new downtown mall, we decided to move with the stadium option. Having decided to be at the mall could have allowed us to have more clients on a daily basis, especially on weekends.

The sunk cost is a cost from the past, an historical cost that really is not important in the present time to make a decision. Maybe, just a reference to a case in the past. And that's it.

Here we can refer to a cost when we opened the first location of the restaurant, but it was five years ago. Those were different situations, necessities, and conditions.

If you do not have a business license, then you are a sole proprietor and running the business for tax purposes from your social security number.

Vasudevan Inc. recently reported operating income of $2.75 million, depreciation of $1.20 million, and had a tax rate of 40%. Th
exis [7]

Answer:

Free cash flow = $2.25 million.

Explanation:

We know,

Free cash flow = Operating income ×( 1 - tax rate) + depreciation - net working capital.

Given,

free cash flow = ?

Operating income = $2.75 million

tax rate = 40%.

depreciation = $1.20 million.

net working capital = $0.6 million.

Putting the values into the formula, we can get

Free cash flow = [Operating income ×( 1 - tax rate) + depreciation - net working capital] million.

Free cash flow = [$2.75 ×( 1 - 40%) + $1.20 - $0.6] million.

Free cash flow = ($2.75 × 0.6 + $1.20 - $0.6) million.

Free cash flow = ($1.65 + $1.20 - $0.6) million.

Free cash flow = ($2.85 - $0.6) million.

Free cash flow = $2.25 million.
