Currently, you make one of the components needed for final assembly of your product and you are considering buying the part from

an outside supplier. You currently make the part on equipment that you have had for a number of years (but still runs fine) at a cost of $75,000 per year and a variable cost of $25.00 pre unit. The outside supplier that you found can make the part for $17.00 per unit, but you will have to pay some of their annual fixed costs of $220,000.
Required:
1. What is the break-even quantity (or indifference point) between buying and making? (Calculate by hand or all in Excel?)
2. What is the total cost to make a quantity of 28,000 units per year?
3. What is the total cost to buy a quantity of 28,000 units per year?
4. What does the company save for the year by selecting the low-cost option at an annual requirement of 28,000 units?

Answer:

1. Break even quantity is 18,125 units

2. Cost to make 28,000 units = $ 775,000

3. Total costs to buy 28,000 units = $ 696,000

4. Savings by using low cost option ( buy from outside) $ 79,000

Explanation:

Computation of Break even point

Variable cost to make equipment in house                $ 25 per unit

Cost to purchase the unit from outside                       <u>$ 17 per unit</u>

Differential Cost per unit                                               <u>$ 8 per unit</u>

Fixed costs to be paid to outside supplier                  $ 220,000

Fixed costs to  be incurred in house                            <u>$  75,000</u>          

Incremental fixed costs                                                 $ 145,000

Break even point - Differential in fixed costs / Differential cost per  unit

$ 145,000/ $ 8 =                                                            18,125 units      

Computation of costs to make 28,000 units

Variable costs per unit -  $ 25 per unit

Units to be produced   -  28,000 units

Total Variable costs  $ 25 * 28,000 units                   $ 700,000

Fixed costs                                                                     $ <u> 75,000</u>

Total costs to make 28,000 units                               $ 775,000      

                               

Computation of costs to buy 28,000 units

Variable costs per unit -  $ 17 per unit

Units to be produced   -  28,000 units

Total Variable costs  $ 17 * 28,000 units                    $  476,000

Fixed costs                                                                    $  <u>220,000</u>

Total costs to make 28,000 units                              $ 696,000  

Computation of savings

Buying 28,000 units                                                    $ 775,000

Making 28,000 units                                                   <u>$ 696,000</u>

Savings from buying from outside                              $ 79,000

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

because no nation's economy can produce all of the goods and services that it needs.      

Explanation:

In simple words, International trade refers to the exchange of goods and services that occurs between the nations around the world for over all welfare and development of world economy.One of the major reasons behind such exchange is the opportunity cost of producing the same good differs among nations significantly.

For instance, a product that belongs to the labor intensive industry could be produced in India easily while as technology intensive good is feasible in America.Also due to difference of availability in natural resources some economies might  not be able to produce some goods altogether.

You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $245,000, has a three-year life, and has pr
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Techron I . According to the calculations, Techron I reports a better performance.

Explanation:

Techron I

Cost of Machine = $245,000

Useful Life = 3 years

Annual Depreciation = Cost of Machine / Useful Life

Annual Depreciation = $245,000 / 3

Annual Depreciation = $81,666.67

Salvage Value = $40,000

After-tax Salvage Value = $40,000 * (1 - 0.22)

After-tax Salvage Value = $31,200

Annual OCF = Pretax Operating Costs * (1 - tax) + tax * Depreciation

Annual OCF = -$63,000 * (1 - 0.22) + 0.22 * $81,666.67

Annual OCF = -$31,173.33

NPV = -$245,000 - $31,173.33 * PVIFA(10%, 3) + $31,200 * PVIF(10%, 3)

NPV = -$245,000 - $31,173.33 * 2.4869 + $31,200 * 0.7513

NPV = -$299,084.39

EAC = NPV / PVIFA(10%, 3)

EAC = -$299,084.39 / 2.4869

EAC = -$120,263.94

Techron II:

Cost of Machine = $420,000

Useful Life = 5 years

Annual Depreciation = Cost of Machine / Useful Life

Annual Depreciation = $420,000 / 5

Annual Depreciation = $84,000

Salvage Value = $40,000

After-tax Salvage Value = $40,000 * (1 - 0.22)

After-tax Salvage Value = $31,200

Annual OCF = Pretax Operating Costs * (1 - tax) + tax * Depreciation

Annual OCF = -$35,000 * (1 - 0.22) + 0.22 * $84,000

Annual OCF = -$8,820

NPV = -$420,000 - $8,820 * PVIFA(10%, 5) + $31,200 * PVIF(10%, 5)

NPV = -$420,000 - $8,820 * 3.7908 + $31,200 * 0.6209

NPV = -$434,062.78

EAC = NPV / PVIFA(10%, 5)

EAC = -$434,062.78 / 3.7908

EAC = -$114,504.27

Answer:

The Number of cycles is 4

Product   Daily Quantity    Daily Unit per cycle

     A                 18                     18/4 = 4.5 units

     B                 16                     16/4 = 4 units

     C                 4                       4/4 = 1 unit

     D                 16                     16/4 = 4 units

Copy equipment was acquired at the beginning of the year at a cost of $56,000 that has an estimated residual value of $8,000 and
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

<u>The depreciable cost is the result of deducting from the purchase price the salvage value:</u>

<u></u>

Depreciable cost= 56,000 - 8,000

Depreciable cost= $48,000

<u>The depreciable rate is the depreciation that the asset suffers in one year express as a percentage:</u>

<u></u>

Depreciation rate= 1/5 = 0.2 or 20% per year

<u>Finally, the units of production depreciation for the first year:</u>

Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in copies]*number of copies

Annual depreciation= (48,000/1,000,000)*240,000

Annual depreciation= 0.048*240,000

Annual depreciation= $11,520
