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.

Consider the economies of Kimberlei and Clarkistan, which are identical except that the multiplier in Kimberlei is smaller than
asambeis [7]

Answer:

This means that Kimberlei's GDP is <em><u> less sensitive than </u></em> Clarkistan's GDP to fluctuations in the components of total spending.

Clarkistan's economy is <em><u>more </u></em>sensitive to fluctuations in GDP than Kimberlei's economy. This is because the personal income tax has <em><u>  reduced  </u></em> Kimerlei's multiplier.

Explanation:

As Kimberlei multiplier is lower, the government spending fluctuation will have a lower impact than in Clarkistan as the goverment spending multiplier in the latter is higher thus, a fluctuation increases or decrease the GDP in a higher proportion.

Clarkistan Economy is more sensitive as their government has a higher multiplier when it decreases for recessions it will increase by a higher amount

while Kimberlei as the income tax decreases th effect of the multiplier It is lower. thus the change in GDP is also lower

vazorg [7]

Answer: 5,000 Boxes.

Explanation:

Given that,

Boxes of napkins uses each year (A) = 62,500

Cost to order napkins (B) = $200.00 per order

Annual carrying cost for one box of napkins (C) = $1.00

Optimal order quantity (EOQ) for napkins = \sqrt{\frac{2\times A\times B}{C} }

                                                                        =\sqrt{\frac{2\times 62,500\times 200.00}{1.00} }

                                                                        = 5,000 Boxes

= $20,000 + $40,000 + $60,000 - $50,000 - $10,000

= $120,000 - $60,000

= $60,000
