Mohave Corp. is considering outsourcing production of the umbrella tote bag included with some of its products. The company has

received a bid from a supplier in Vietnam to produce 9,000 units per year for $8.00 each. Mohave has the following information about the cost of producing tote bags:
Direct materials $5.00
Direct labor 1.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 1.00
Fixed manufacturing overhead 2.00
Total cost per unit $9.00

Mohave has determined that all variable costs could be eliminated by outsourcing the tote bags, while 70 percent of the fixed overhead cost is unavoidable. At this time, Mohave has no specific use in mind for the space currently dedicated to producing the tote bags.

Required:
a. Compute the difference in cost between making and buying the umbrella tote bag.
b. Based strictly on the incremental analysis, should Mohave buy the tote bags or continue to make them?

Answer:

Please see below

Explanation:

1. The level of production for the subject analysis is 9,000 units per year

Options for outsourcing

Variable unit costs = $8.00

Unavoidable unit fixed costs = 70% × $2 = $1.4

Total : $8 + $1.4 = $9.4 per unit

In house option:

Direct materials = $5

Direct labor = $1

Variable manufacturing overhead = $1

Fixed manufacturing overhead = $2

Total : $9

The cost of buying the umbrella outside is $9.4 , which is $0.4 higher than making it in-company.

2. Mohave should continue to make the tote bags instead of buying them.

According to Joseph Schumpeter, the stage that is described above is the Recovery stage.

<h3>What happens in the recovery stage?</h3>
  • The country begins to recover from the negative economic conditions of the depression.
  • Signs of stability will begin to appear.

In the recovery stage, economic activity will start to rise as there will be more production of goods and services.

Unemployment will also begin to drop as more companies hire people to produce. They will in turn increase spending which would further stimulate the economy.

In conclusion, this is the recovery stage.

Answer:

Products         Selling price   Unit variable cost

                                $                       $

Junior                     50                      15

Adult                       75                      25

Expert                     <u>110 </u>                   <u> 60</u>

Total                      <u> 235 </u>                  <u> 100</u>

The sales price per composite unit = $235

The contribution margin per composite unit

= Composite selling price - Composite unit variable cost  

= $235 - $100

= $135

Break-even point in units

= <u>Fixed cost</u>

  Contribution per unit

= <u>$114,750</u>

  $135

= 850 units

Break-even point in dollars

= Break-even point in units x Composite selling price

= 850 units x $235

= $199,750

                     Income Statement    

                                                               $

Total contribution ($135 x 850 units)   114,750

Less: Fixed cost                                     <u>114,750</u>

Net profit                                                   <u> 0</u>

                                                                                                                                                                             

Explanation:

Sales price per composite unit is the aggregate of all the selling prices.

Contribution margin per composite unit equals composite selling price minus composite unit variable cost.

Break-even point in units is fixed cost divided per composite contribution margin per unit.

Break-even point in dollars equal break-even point in units multiplied by selling price.

Income statement is prepared by deducting the total fixed cost from the total contribution.

OlgaM077 [116]

To obtain approval for the scope document, the project manager will interview input from key stakeholders to determine if the scope needs additional changes.

A scope document is simply a piece of formal documentation which is outlining both product scope and as well as the project scope. Before diving into a new project, the project manager and his team and any other stakeholders will need to agree on the scope of the project.

So, it is the responsibility of one of the project manager to ensure that only the needed work will be performed and that each of the deliverables can be completed in the allotted time and within the estimated budget.

Hence, option A is correct.

Olegator [25]

Answer:

this would cause total costs to Increase and the break-even quantity to Increase.

Explanation:

Total Cost is the Sum of All Manufacturing and Non-Manufacturing  Cost of a product.

Advertising expense before adjustments are at $500. The cost of advertising does not vary with the sales quantities therefore this is a fixed cost.

Therefore an Increase in the advertising expense causes an increase in Total cost figure.

Break even quantity is a function of Fixed Costs divided by Contribution per unit.The break even quantity will definitely change. By increasing the fixed costs (<em>Advertising Expense</em>), the Break even quantity will increase.
