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

"Kim wants to run for the U.S. Senate. Kim experimented with drugs in the 1960s, but has not used any drugs in more than 45 year
marishachu [46]

Answer:

The communication behaviour that kim is engaged in is selective self-disclosure.

Self-disclosure is a process of communication by which one person reveals information about themselves to another. The information can be descriptive or evaluative, and can include thoughts, feelings, aspirations, goals, failures, successes, fears, and dreams, as well as one's likes, dislikes, and favorites.

At the end of 2009, the following information is available for Clobes Company, Snyder Company, and Welz Company (you must show y
ella [17]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Note: This question is incomplete and lacks necessary data to solve for this question. However I have found similar question on the internet and I will be using that data. Besides, I have attached the data used in the attachment below.

Solution:

1. The debt-to-equity ratio is the best way to assess financial risk. A higher debt-to-equity ratio indicates a higher level of financial risk. This ratio represents the willingness of the equity of the owners to fulfil their obligations.

Formula used:

Debt-to-equity ratio  =  Total liabilities divided by owner's equity

For Clobes:

Total liabilities = 100,000

Owners' equity =  200,000

Debt-to-equity ratio = 100000/200000 = 0.5

For Snyder:

Total liabilities = 300,000

Owners' equity = 200,000

Debt-to-equity ratio = 300000/200000 = 1.5  

For Welz:

Total liabilities = 300,000

Owners' equity = 100,000

Debt-to-equity ratio = 300000/100000 = 3

Welz faces the greatest financial risk because it has the highest debt-to-equity ratio. It has a debt-to-equity ratio of three. Even though it depends on the industry, a company's debt-to-equity ratio should be between 1 and 1.5 if it is considered optimal. In this case, Welz's financial risk is considerably higher.

2. calculate Return on Equity(ROE)

Formula used:

ROE = Net income / Owner's equity

For Clobes:  

Net income = 25,000

Owners' equity = 200,000

ROE = 25,000 / 200000 = 0.125

For Snyder:

Net income = 30,000

Owners' equity = 200,000

ROE = 30000 / 200000 = 0.15

For Welz:  

Net income = 20,000

Owners' equity = 200,000

ROE = 20000 / 100000 = 0.2

Welz has the highest return of equity (ROE) of 0.2.

As a result, Welz is the most profitable company.

3. Return on assets:

Formula used

Return on Assets = Net income / Total assets

For Clobes:  

Net income = 25,000

Total assets = 300,000

Return on Assets  = 25,000  / 300000 = 0.08

For Snyder:  

Net income = 30,000

Total assets = 500000

Return on Assets  = 30000 / 500000 = 0.06

For Welz:  

Net income = 20,000

Total assets = 400,000

Return on Assets  = 20000 / 400000 = 0.05

Hence,

Clobes has the highest return on assets, which is 0.08.

irakobra [83]

Answer: B. 20.00%

Explanation:

Unemployment rate does not include those who have given up on finding a job.

Unemployment rate = Unemployed people / Labor force

Unemployed people:

= Original unemployed + half the new graduates

= 1,000 + (1,000 / 2)

= 1,500 people

Labor force:

= Unemployed + employed people

= 1,500 + 6,000

= 7,500 people

Unemployment rate:

= 1,500 / 7,500

= 20%
