Diamond Computer Company has been purchasing carrying cases for its portable computers at a purchase price of $59 per unit. The

company, which is currently operating below full capacity, charges factory overhead to production at the rate of 40% of direct labor cost. The fully absorbed unit costs to produce comparable carrying cases are expected to be as follows:
Direct materials $35.00
Direct labor 18.00
Factory overhead (40% of direct labor) 7.20
Total cost per unit $60.20
If Diamond Computer Company manufactures the carrying cases, fixed factory overhead costs will not increase and variable factory overhead costs associated with the cases are expected to be 15% of the direct labor costs.
Prepare a differential analysis dated February 24 to determine whether the company should make (Alternative 1) or buy (Alternative 2) the carrying case. If an amount is zero, enter zero "0". If required, round your answers to two decimal places. For those boxes in which you must enter subtracted or negative numbers use a minus sign.

erastova [34]

Answer:

The expected share price=$20.07

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the price/earnings to growth ratio(PEG) ;

PEG ratio=(Price/EPS)/EPS growth

where;

Price=Price per share

EPS=earnings per share=share price

EPS growth=share price growth

In our case;

Price per share=$4.22

Share price=$48.83

Share price growth rate=3.1%=

Replacing;

PEG ratio=(4.22/48.83)/3.1

PEG ratio=0.0279

Step 2: Calculate share price

PEG ratio=(Price per share/share price)/share price growth

where;

PEG ratio=0.0279

Price per share=$2.63

Share price=x

share price growth rate=4.7%

Replacing;

0.0279=(2.63/x)/4.7=2.63/4.7 x

4.7 x×0.0279=2.63

x=2.63/(4.7×0.0279)

x=20.07

The expected share price=$20.07

Describe three reasons as to why GM builds cars in China. Should GM do what the USA President wants and move production of cars
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Three reason why GM build cars in China:

China has lower labor costs. This is the main reason, a Chinese worker earns a lot less than an American worker, and this results in a substantial cost reduction for GM.

China has important economies of scale. The United States also has important economies of scale, but China may have the edge in some economic sectors.

Finally, the third reason is that China has very good infrastructure like trains, roads, and ports, and this facilitates the logistics for GM.

If the president wants GM to move production back in the US, GM could demand better infrastructure (labor costs cannot be lowered, and the economies of scale are already there), and perhaps other complementary incentives like corporate tax reductions, or even subsidies.
