A company manufactures various sized plastic bottles for its medicinal product. The manufacturing cost for small bottles is $67

per unit (100 bottles), including fixed costs of $22 per unit. A proposal is offered to purchase small bottles from an outside source for $35 per unit, plus $5 per unit for freight. Prepare a differential analysis dated March 30 to determine whether the company should make (Alternative 1) or buy (Alternative 2) the bottles, assuming that fixed costs are unaffected by the decision. If an amount is zero, enter "0". For those boxes in which you must enter subtracted or negative numbers use a minus sign.

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.

Assume Maine Line Railway is considering hiring a reservations agency to handle passenger reservations. The agency would charge
inna [77]

Answer:

$214,000

Explanation:

The total reservation cost per month is given by the following expression:

R = \$14,000+\$1*n

Where 'n' is the number of monthly reservations.

If there are 200,000 reservations for passengers taking a trip next month, the reservation cost is:

R = \$14,000+\$1*200,000\\R=\$214,000

Total reservation cost is $214,000.

Acme Home Lending offers home equity loans up to 80% of the home value for its customers. If Sally Johnson has a home valued at
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

c) $110,000

Explanation:

The computation of the borrowing amount is shown below:

= Value of home × given percentage - current mortgage amount

= $200,000 × 80% - $50,000

= $160,000 - $50,000

= $110,000

For computing the accurate value, we have to deduct the current mortgage amount from the net value of home.

Since only 80% is related to the home value so we take only 80% and rest 20% would be ignored.

Drying times for newly painted microwave oven cabinets are normally distributed with a mean of 2.5 minutes and a standard deviat
Marina86 [1]

Answer: 3.22

Explanation:

Given that;

mean = 2.5 min

standard deviation = 0.25 min

now to get the value of X required, we say

z = (x - u) / a

where z is the distance from the mean measured in the standard deviation units, x is the value we are interested in, u is the mean distribution, a is the standard deviation of the distribution.

the time delay should be just enough to allow 99.8% of the cabinets to dry completely = 99.8/100 = 0.9980

first we determine an appropriate z value.

Using the standardized normal tables,

value of z for approximately 0.9980 is 2.88

so using our initial equation z = (x - u) / a

we substitute the value

z = (x - u) / a

2.88 = ( x - 2.5) / 0.25

2.88 * 0.25 = x - 2.5

0.72 = x - 2.5

x = 0.72 + 2.5

x = 3.22
