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.

Answer:

The correct answer is D. Assign appropriate, but differing, discount rates to each project and then select the projects with the highest net present values.

Explanation:

The discount rate is the cost of capital that is applied to determine the current value of a future payment.

The discount rate is used to "discount" future money. It is widely used when evaluating investment projects. It tells us how much money is worth now from a future date.

The discount rate is the inverse of the interest rate, which serves to increase the value (or add interest) in the present money. The discount rate, on the other hand, detracts from the future money when it is transferred to the present, except if the discount rate is negative, in case it will mean that the future money is worth more than the current one. The interest rate is used to obtain the increase to an original amount, while the discount rate is subtracted from an expected amount to obtain an amount in the present.

Except in exceptional cases, the discount rate is positive because before the promise of receiving money in the future we have the uncertainty of whether we will receive it or not, since there may be a problem that prevents us from receiving that money. Therefore, the farther the money we are going to receive, the less it will be worth now.

firm a can either earn20 or 70 if it advertises or 5 or 50 if it does not advertise. this is the same for firm B.

Thus the option that would yield the highest payoff is for both firms to advertise.

<h3>What is electric power?</h3>

The rate of electrical energy transmission over an electric circuit per unit of time is measured as electric power in physics. P stands for power, which is denoted and measured using the SI unit of power, the watt, or one joule per second. Electric batteries and electric generators are frequently used to produce and supply electricity.

The speed at which energy is converted into an electrical circuit or used to produce work is known as electric power. It is a way to quantify how much energy is consumed over a certain period of time.

Having had no prior knowledge of the market for his product sweater, what approach did Jack McCarthy of Ugly Christmas Sweaters
telo118 [61]

Answer:

When any company wants to sale their product without prior knowledge of the market then it's a disaster.

First thing Jack can do is "Test Marketing". If any company has no knowledge of market then fastest way to know your market is test marketing. Jack must put his sweaters in small quantity for sale at different locations. Test marketing needs to be done for whole week. Jack needs to collect the feedback from its customers too. Feedback is the way jack can know the market. Without knowing the market and customers, it's really hard to market or sale your product. Feedback from test marketing activity will actually give him market knowledge and customer's feedback.

Aquatic Equipment Corporation decided to switch from the LIFO method of costing inventories to the FIFO method at the beginning
spayn [35]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below

1. The adjusted balance in the retained earning is shown below:

= beginning balance of retained earning + adjusted net income

where,

beginning balance of retained earning is $860,000

And, the adjusted net income is

= $68,000 × (1 - 0.35)

= $44,200

So, the adjusted balance in the retained earning is

= $860,000 + $44,200

= $904,200

2. Now the journal entry is

Inventory $68,000

      To Retained earning $44,200

      To Tax payable $23,800   ($68,000  × 35%)

(Being the adjustment of ending inventory is recorded)

It increased the inventory and along with it it also increased the equity and liabilities so the respective account is debited and credited
