Answer:

The correct option is a. Make the new product and buy the part to earn an extra $1.00 per unit contribution to profit.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Moon Appliance manufactures a variety of appliances which all use Part B89. Currently, Moon Appliance manufactures Part B89 itself. It has been producing 9,000 units of Part B89 annually. The annual costs of producing Part B89 at the level of 9,000 units include:

Direct materials = $3.00

Direct labor = $8.00

Variable manufacturing overhead = $4.00

Fixed manufacturing overhead = $3.00

Total cost = $18.00

All of the fixed manufacturing overhead costs would continue whether Part B89 is made internally or purchased from an outside supplier. Assume Moon Appliance can purchase 9,000 units of the part from the Nadal Parts Company for $20.00 each, and the facilities currently used to make the part could be used to manufacture 7,000 units of another product that would have a $6 per unit contribution margin. If no additional fixed costs would be incurred, what should Moon Appliance do?

Select one:

a. Make the new product and buy the part to earn an extra $1.00 per unit contribution to profit.

b. Make the new product and buy the part to earn an extra $4.00 per unit contribution to profit.

c. Continue to make the part to earn an extra $3.00 per unit contribution to profit.

d. Continue to make the part to earn an extra $8.00 per unit contribution to profit.

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

Since all of the fixed manufacturing overhead costs would continue whether Part B89 is made internally or purchased from an outside supplier, it implies that the fixed manufacturing overhead costs will not be considered in taking the decision.

We therefore proceed as follows:

Amount saved and generated per unit by outsourcing = Direct materials cost per unit + Direct labor cost per unit + Variable manufacturing overhead per unit + Per unit contribution margin from another product = $3 + $8 + $4 + $6 = $21

Price to buy from Supplier = $20

Extra per unit contribution to profit = Amount saved and generated per unit by outsourcing – Price to buy from Supplier = $21 - $20 = $1

Therefore, the correct option is a. Make the new product and buy the part to earn an extra $1.00 per unit contribution to profit.

<h3><u>What are international financial reporting standards ?</u></h3>
  • The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are a group of accounting guidelines that specify which kinds of transactions and events must be disclosed in financial statements.
  • The International Accounting Standards Board created and maintains them (IASB).
  • The IASB wants the rules to be implemented consistently across the world so that investors and other users of financial statements may compare the financial performance of publicly traded firms with that of their worldwide peers on an equal footing.
  • More than 100 nations, including the European Union and more than two-thirds of the G20, currently utilize IFRS.
  • International Accounting Standards (IAS), which were more traditional standards that IFRS superseded in 2000, are occasionally mistaken with IFRS.

Hello!

You forgot the alternatives!

incentives 
<span>margin </span>
<span>markets </span>
<span>scarcity
</span>
The term that is most closely related to trade-off, from the list above, is: scarcity. Scarcity is the condition that moves the trade-offs, it determines the quantity of each product you need or have. So, for example, if you need a product that you don't have enough and another that you have in excess, you can exchange it with someone that have interest in your product and has the one that you need.

Increase in Accounts Recievables indicate there have been sales which have not been paid for yet, thus sales will increase and this needs to be added

Reduction in accrued liabilitites indicate that expenses of previous period have been paid off now thus those need to be reduced from cash expenses.
