Answer:

Change in profit is Nil

Explanation:

<em>To determine whether to outsource the production of product X or not, we would compare the variable cost internal production to the external</em> <em>purchase price. And then adjust  the net figure for the fixed costs. </em>

<em>For a make or buy decision the relevant cash flows include </em>

1. the differential variable cost of the two options  

2. savings from avoidable fixed costs associated with internal production

                                                                                                  $

Variable cost internal production (2+7+5)                             14

External buy in price                                                               <u>12</u>    

Savings per unit  of bought from outside                            <u> 2   </u>

Savings on  1000 units (2× 1,000)                                         2,000

Unavoidable  fixed cost (2  ×    1,000)                                 <u> (2,000)</u>    

Net change in profit                                                             <u>       Nil   </u>

<em>Note we assume that the fixed overhead is unavoidable. That is it will still be incurred whether or the product is outsourced     </em>

zimovet [89]

Answer:

exact actual growth rate of your purchasing power was 4.8%

Explanation:

given data

nominal rate of interest = 10%

inflation rate =  5%

solution

we get here exact actual growth rate that is express as

exact actual growth rate = \frac{1+rate\ of\ interest}{1+inflation\ rate} - 1      ..........................1

put here value and we will get

exact actual growth rate = \frac{1+0.10}{1+0.05} - 1

exact actual growth rate = 4.8 %

so here exact actual growth rate of your purchasing power was 4.8%
