Answer:
B) Cannibalization occurs when the sales of a new brand take away from sales of an existing brand. Whenever a firm sells a new product it must look out for cannibalization. Michael's new mp3 players are cannibalizing the sales of his old players.
Explanation:
Market cannibalization occurs when a company's new product line crowds out the existing market for its current products, rather than expanding the company's market base as originally intended. In other words, rather than appealing to an additional segment of the market, a new product line appeals to the company's current market, reducing the demand for its established products. In this respect, market cannibalization is an instance in which a company's own two product lines compete against one another.
Answer:
The cost recorded for the equipment=$229,550
Explanation:
The total recorded cost of the automatic equipment has to include the purchase cost and other additional associated costs that come with the equipment. This can be expressed as;
T=P+A
where;
T=total cost
P=purchase cost/invoice cost
A=additional costs(electrical work cost+delivery cost+sales tax+repair cost)
In our case;
T=unknown
P=$190,000
A=(20,000+4,000+13,700+1,850)=$39,550
replacing;
T=190,000+39,550=229,550
The total cost=$229,550
The cost recorded for the equipment=$229,550
Explicit costs are business expenses that are easily identifiable and can be accounted for.
1) Wages and salaries = 100,000
2) Utilities expenses = 15,000
3) Materials and Supplies = 150,000
4) Gasoline expense = 5,000
100,000 + 15,000 + 150,000 + 5,000 = 270,000 answer is C.
Answer:
Cost to make $337,600
Cost to make $344,400
The company should make the product
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the total incremental cost of making 84,000 and buying 84,000 units
COST TO MAKE
Relevant per unit Relevant fixed cost Total relevant cost
Variable cost per unit $2.90 - $243,600(84000*$2.90)
Fixed manufacturing costs - $94,000 $94,000
Cost to make $337,600
($243,600+$94,000)
COST TO BUY
Relevant per unit Relevant fixed cost Total relevant cost
purchase per unit $4.10 - $344,400[$4.10*84000]
Cost to make $344,400
Based on the above calculation the cost of buying is higher than the cost of making therefore the company should MAKE the product.
