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.

Clarence is purchasing a $142,000 home with a 15-year mortgage. He will
madreJ [45]

Answer:

prime mortgage insurance (PMI) is an insurance that mortgage lenders require when borrowers make a down payment of less than 20% of the purchase price of the house.

We are not given any table, so I looked in the internet to find one that can be used as an example:

outstanding principal = $142,000 - 17% = $117,860

  • mortgage term equal or less than 15 years
  • base loan amount is less than $625,000
  • loan to value ratio = 1 - down payment = 83%, which means it is ≤ 90%
  • bps = 45

total yearly premium = principal x bps = $117,860 x 0.0045 = $530.47

monthly PMI payment = $530.47 / 12 months = $44.20

One of your customers has just made a purchase in the amount of $12,000. You have agreed to payments of $290 per month and will
34kurt

Answer:

It will take 51 months.

Explanation:

As we know the constant payment of $290 monthly is the annuity payment to pay $12,000 with interest rate of 0.84% per  month. The Number of Months can be calculated by following formula.

Loan amount = PV = $12,000

Rate of interest = r = 0.84 %

Monthly Payment = P = $290

PV of annuity = P x [ ( 1- ( 1+ r )^-n ) / r ]

$12,000 = $290 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 0.84% )^-n / 0.84% ]

$12000 x 0.84% / $290 = 1 - ( 1 + 0.84% )^-n

0.347586 = 1 - ( 1 + 0.84% )^-n

0.347586 - 1 = - ( 1 + 0.84% )^-n

-0.652414 = - ( 1 + 0.84% )^-n

1 / 0.652414 = 1.0084^n

1.532769 = 1.0084^n

Log 1.532769 = n x log 1.0084

n = Log 1.532769 / log 1.0084

n = 51

IgorC [24]

Answer:

Economic profit will be $40

So option (d) will be correct option

Explanation:

We have given number of units produced = 20 units

Price of per unit = $10 per unit

So revenue = 20×$10 = $200

Revenue :20 units * $10 = 200

Fixed cost is given $100

Variable cost: 20 units ×$3 = 60

So total cost= Fixed cost + Variable cost = 100 + 60 =$160

So economic profit = Revenue - Total cost = 200 - 160 = $40

So option (d) will be correct answer
