lows: Direct materials $ 8 Direct labor 5 Variable manufacturing overhead 3 Fixed manufacturing overhead 5 Unit product cost $ 21 An outside supplier has offered to provide the annual requirement of 2,900 of the parts for only $16 each.

Answer:

$4 advantage

Explanation:

In this question we need to compare the cost between the relevant cost and the outside supplier cost

The relevant cost is

= Direct material per unit + direct labor per unit + variable manufacturing overhead per unit + fixed manufacturing overhead per unit

= $8 + $5 + $3 + $5 × 80%

= $8 + $5 + $3 + $4

= $20

Since 80% of the fixed manufacturing cost above is eliminated so we considered the same

And, the outside supplier cost is $16

So based on the above calculation, the financial advantage is

= $20 - $16

= $4 advantage

This shows the company should purchased from outside supplier as it saves $4

Answer: the correct answer is a. Machine B

Explanation:

Machine A average rate return

40000 out of 300000. It means that 300000 is 100% and $ 40000 is X. We apply a simple three rule:

40000       X                     X= 4000000/300000

300000     100%               X= 13.33%

Machine B average rate return

50000 out of 250000. It means that 250000 is 100% and $ 50000 is X. We apply a simple three rule:

50000       X                     X= 5000000/250000

250000     100%               X= 20%

Machine C average rate return

$75,000 out of $500,000. It means that $500,000 is 1005 and $75,000 is X. We apply a simple three rule

$75,000     X                       X=7500000/500000

$500,000  100%                 X= 15%

The highest average is the one onf Machine B

Whats the estimate sum for 3/56+8/9
valentinak56 [21]
You can make 9 into a fraction with the denominator of 56.

8/9= 48/56 (multiply both by 6)

Just add three to the numerator. We can round 48 to 50, so:

50/56+3/56= 53/56 That would be the estimation.

I hope this helps!
