Which of the following is not a qualitative factor to be considered in a make-or-buy decision?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

A) Possible lost jobs from buying outside

Explanation:

In a make-or-buy decision,   technical aspects directly related to manufacturing are those that come into play: costs, schedules, quality, among others. A classic example is Apple. Because of the advantages in costs, quality, schedules and other aspects, Apple chooses to manufacture its products in China instead of manufacturing themselves or with a third party in the US, despite the loss of jobs that it generates.

Gekata [30.6K]
<span>The "principal-agent problem" is when one person can make a decision on behalf of someone else that impacts the "principal". The agent works to favor the interests of the principal and receives incentives for doing so in return. The agent can get into a conflict of interest or make morally wrong decisions in favor of the principal they are helping. </span>

ANEK [815]

Answer:

The Bid Price you should submit is $15.45

Explanation:

NPV = -795000 + 143000*(1-21%)/1.09^5-70000 + 70000/1.09^5 + ((120000*(P-10.15) - 435000 - 795000/5)*(1-21%) + 795000/5)/0.09*(1-1/1.09^5)

        => -795000 + 143000*(1-21%)/1.09^5 - 70000 + 70000/1.09^5 +((120000*(P-10.15) - 435000 - 795000/5)*(1-21%) + 795000/5)/0.09*(1-1/1.09^5) >=0

The deadweight loss from a tax per unit of good will be smallest in a market with a. inelastic supply and elastic demand. b. ine
deff fn [24]

The deadweight loss from a tax per unit of good will be smallest in a market with inelastic supply and inelastic demand.

The Deadweight loss refers to loss that occurs when supply and demand are not in equilibrium and thus, result in market inefficiency.

Usually, the value of the deadweight loss varies with the demand elasticity and supply elasticity.

So, when the demand or supply is inelastic, the deadweight loss of the taxation will be smaller because the quantity bought or sold varies less with price.

Therefore, the answer is B. because the deadweight loss from a tax per unit of good will be smallest in a market with inelastic supply and inelastic demand.

Lindsey Company uses activity-based costing. The company has two products: A and B. The annual production and sales of Product A
natita [175]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the activities rate:</u>

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Activity 1= 24,000 / 1,000= $24 per activity unit

Activity 2= 36,900 / 900= $41 per activity unit

Activity 3= 63,000 / 1,800= $35 per activity unit

<u>Now, we can allocate costs to product A:</u>

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Activity 1= 24*200= $4,800

Activity 2= 41*750= $30,750

Activity 3= 35*1,000= $35,000

Total allocated costs= $70,550

<u>Finally, the unitary cost:</u>

Unitary cost= 70,550 / 5,000= $14.11
