Answer:

If the company makes the units, it will save $7,000 per period.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Make in-house:

Number of units= 16,000

Variable cost per unit= $22

Avoidable fixed cost per unit= $3

Buy:

Number of units= 16,000

Buying price= $27

Rent= $25,000

First, we will determine the total cost of each option:

Make:

Total cost= 16,000*(22 + 3)= $400,000

Buy:

Total cost= 16,000*27 - 25,000= $407,000

If the company makes the units, it will save $7,000 per period.

5.What is the dividend for the 5th year?

6.Compute the present value of these dividends if the required rate of return is 14 percent.

1. $2.34

2. $2.54

3. $2.63

4. $2.73

5. $2.82

Explanation:

Last Dividend paid = $2.15

Growth rate:

First two years = 24%

Following three years = 18%

FV of Dividend = PV ( 1 + g )^n

Dividend for the 1st year = $2.15 x ( 1 + 24% )^1 = $2.15 x ( 1 + 0.24 )^1 = $2.15 x ( 1.24 )^1 = $2.67

Dividend for the 2nd year = $2.15 x ( 1 + 24% )^2 = $2.15 x ( 1 + 0.24 )^2 = $2.15 x ( 1.24 )^2 = $3.31

Dividend for the 3rd year = $3.31 x ( 1 + 18% )^1 = $3.31 x ( 1 + 0.18 )^1 = $3.31 x ( 1.18 )^1 = $3.90

Dividend for the 4th year = $3.31 x ( 1 + 18% )^2 = $3.31 x ( 1 + 0.18 )^2 = $3.31 x ( 1.18 )^2 = $4.60

Dividend for the 5th year = $3.31 x ( 1 + 18% )^3 = $3.31 x ( 1 + 0.18 )^3 = $3.31 x ( 1.18 )^3 = $5.43

6.The present value of these dividends

Present value of dividends can be calculated by following formula:

PV = FV / ( 1 + r )^n

FV = Dividend for the year

r = rate of return = 14%

n = number of years

1. PV = $2.98 / ( 1 + 0.14 )^1 = $2.98 / ( 1.14 )^1 = $2.98 / 1.14 = $2.34

2. PV = $3.31 / ( 1 + 0.14 )^2 = $3.31 / ( 1.14 )^2 = $3.31 / 1.2996 = $2.54

3. PV = $3.90 / ( 1 + 0.14 )^3 = $3.90 / ( 1.14 )^3 = $3.90 / 1.481544 = $2.63

4. PV = $4.60 / ( 1 + 0.14 )^4 = $4.60 / ( 1.14 )^4 = $4.60 / 1.68896 = $2.73

5. PV = $5.43 / ( 1 + 0.14 )^5 = $5.43 / ( 1.14 )^5 = $5.43 / 1.925416 = $2.82

A firm has a production function satisfying constant returns to scale. Their cost of producing 100 units of their product is $20

umka21 [38]

Answer:

1,000,000

Explanation:

As there are constant returns to scale the cost to produce a greater output will grow following a linear fucntion thus,

if 100 units units are produced at a cost of 200,000 dolllars

then 500 units will be produced five times that amount:

200,000 x 500/100 = 200,000 x 5 = 1,000,000

The total cost for 500 units will be a million dollars

XYZ Corporation's standards call for 1,000 direct labor-hours to produce 250 units of product. During October the company worked

larisa [96]

Answer:

Standard hours= 1,200 hours

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

XYZ Corporation's standards call for 1,000 direct labor-hours to produce 250 units of product.

During October the company worked produced 300 units.

First, we need to calculate the standard hour per unit:

Standard hour per unit= 1,000 / 250= 4 hours per unit

Now, the standard hours allowed for 300 units:

Standard hours= standard hour per unit*number of units

Standard hours= 4*300

Standard hours= 1,200 hours

Haver Company currently produces component RX5 for its sole product. The current cost per unit to manufacture the required 61,00

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

It is more convenient to produce in house.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct materials $ 4.00

Direct labor 8.00

Overhead 9.00

Total costs per unit $ 21.00

Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable. The overhead is 80% fixed. An outside supplier has offered to supply the 61,000 units of RX5 for $19.00 per unit.

The fixed costs are unavoidable, therefore we will concentrate the analysis in the variable costs.

Make in house:

Unitary cost= 4 + 8 + (9*0.20)= $13.8

Buy= 19

Difference= 19 - 13.8= 5.2

It is more convenient to produce in house.
