Hope this helps~

marishachu [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

In this case we are using the formula of an annuity due which is an annuity that starts payment at the beginning of the period.

This formula is

PVannuity due = C * [(1 - ( 1 + i ) ^ {-n}/ i ] * (1 + i)

C = Payments $2,500

i = Interest rate 5.5%

n = Number of payments 5

PVannuity due = 2500 * [(1 - ( 1 + 0,05 ) ^ {-5}/ 0.05 ] * (1 + 0.05)

sasho [114]

Answer: Financial disadvantage of -$‭863,000‬

Explanation:

If they made the 87 thousand units themselves, they would incur a cost of:

= 87,000 * (Direct labor + Direct materials + Variable manufacturing overhead) + Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead

= 87,000 * (23 + 24 + 22) + (23 * 110,000)

= 87,000 * 69 + ‭2,530,000‬

= $‭‭‭8,533,000‬

<em>Traceable fixed costs are based on the total capacity of 110,000 units being produced and so will not change. </em>

If they buy from the supplier, the cost would be:

= 108 * 87,000

= $‭9,396,000‬

Financial advantage (disadvantage) = ‭‭8,533,000‬‬ - ‭9,396,000‬

= -$‭863,000‬
