Answer:

The company should buy from an outside source rahter than manufacturing because each bottle manufactured costs $5 more.

Explanation:

Differential Analysis

                                                          Make            Buy

Manufacturing Cost per bottle         $ 67

Purchasing Cost per bottle                                  $35

Freight per bottle                                                  $ 5

<u>Fixed Costs                                                            $ 22   </u>

<u>Total                                                   $ 67              $62   </u>

<u />

The company should buy the bottles from the  outside source because the manufacturing costs are higher than the purchasing costs and the fixed costs.

The fixed costs are the irrelevant costs that will continue whether bottles are manufactured or purchased.

When Kim and Liam move from spending 30 minutes of each hour producing pies and 30 minutes producing cakes to specializing in th
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

A) 30 pies and 100 cakes.

Explanation:

Kim can produce 40 pies or 400 cakes an hour. Liam can produce 100 pies or 200 cakes an hour.

Since each one will specialize in the production of the good in which they have a comparative advantage, Kim will produce cakes and Liam will produce pies.

before specialization Kim produced 20 pies and 200 cakes, while Liam produced 50 pies and 100 cakes.

So the total gains from trade are:

  • 50 pies - 20 pies = 30 pies
  • 200 cakes - 100 cakes = 100 cakes

Zenon Inc. has the following taxable income: U.S. source income $ 1,900,000 Foreign source income 240,000 Taxable income $ 2,140
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The income tax is $81,600

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to compute the foreign tax income for Zenon Inc assuming the foreign source income does not qualify as FDII

To compute this, we employ a mathematical approach.

Mathematically,

The income paid by Zenon Inc = Foreign credit Tax limitation * Foreign source income/taxable income

We identify the parameters in the equation as follows;

Foreign tax limitation = Taxable income * tax rate

Where the tax rate for the US is 34% or simply 0.34

Foreign tax limitation = 0.34 * 2,140,000 = $727,600

Foreign source income = $240,000

Taxable income = $2,140,000

Income paid = 727,600 * 240,000/2,140,000 = $81,600
