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

3 Select the correct answer. Tracy applied for a home loan from her bank. The bank is willing to give her the loan but at a very
denis23 [38]

Answer:

C. bad payment history

Explanation:

Creditworthiness is the term banks, and other lenders use to determine the risk associated with each customer. Credit score ratings place customers into different risk categories. A low credit score signifies a high-risk customer or low creditworthiness. Banks will extend credit facilities to a high-risk customer at a high-interest rate.

A customer with a poor loan repayment history has a low credit score. Tracy is being offered the loan at a high-interest rate due to her low creditworthiness. Her case would be different if she had a better credit score associated with a good loan repayment history.

Assume the perpetual inventory system is used. 1) Green Company purchased merchandise inventory that cost $65,300 under terms of
aliina [53]

Based on the perpetual inventory system, the payment for inventory, and the freight costs, the net cash flow from operating activities is $28,346

<h3>How to find the net cash flow?</h3>

The net cash flow for Green Company from its various transactions and using the perpetual inventory system can be found by the formula:

= Cash inflow from sales to customers - Cash outflow for freight cost - Cash outflow for freight cost to customers - Cash outflow for payment to supplier in ten days

The net cash flow from operating activities is therefore:

= 96,600 - 2,530 - 1,730 - (65,300 x (100% - 2%))

= 96,600 - 2,530 - 1,730 - 63,994

= $28,346

A country finds itself in the following situation: the government budget surplus is 2% of its GDP; private savings is 30% of GDP
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The current account deficit will increase from 1% to 31% of GDP.

Explanation:

National saving and investment identity helps in understanding the determinants of trade and current account balance. The current account is in balance when the quantity demanded of financial capital is equal to the quantity supplied of financial capital.  

Here, the government saving or surplus and private savings are the supply of financial capital and investment indicates demand for financial capital.

The current account balance is

= Supply of capital - Demand for capital

= (30 + 2)% - 33%

= 32% - 33%

= -1%

So the current account is in deficit by 1% of GDP.  

If the private savings becomes zero, the current account balance will be

= Supply of capital - Demand for capital

= 2% - 33%

= -31%

The current account will be in deficit by 31%.
