You make component X in-house at a cost of $16 per unit, which consists of $2 direct labor per unit, $7 direct materials per uni

t, $2 fixed overhead per unit, and $5 variable overhead per unit. You need 1,000 units of X per month. An outside supplier has offered to sell component X to you at $12 per unit. If you outsource the production of X to the supplier, how much will your profit change in the short term

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>

Several years ago the Haverford Company sold a $1,000 par value bond that now has 25 years to maturity and an 8.00% annual coupo
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

5.4%

Explanation:

Several years ago the Haverford Company sold a $1,000 par value bond that now has 25 years to maturity and an 8.00% annual coupon that is paid quarterly. The bond currently sells for $900.90, and the company’s tax rate is 40%. What is the component cost of debt for use in the WACC calculation

Face value of bond = coupon amount / interest rate

1000 = 80 / 8%

Therefore 900.9 = 80 / revised interest rate

multiply both sides by the 'revised interest rate

revised interest rate x 900.9 = 80

Hence, revised interest rate = 80  / 900.9 = 9%

Secondly if the company’s tax rate is 40%, the component cost of debt for use in the WACC calculation = kd (1 - t)

where:

kd = Cost of debt

t = tax rate

Therefore cost of debt for use in the WACC calculation = 9% (1-0.4) = 5.4%

5) A car rental company offers two plans for one way rentals. Plan I charges $36 per day and 17 cents per mile. Plan II charges
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

a. Plan I is better is we drive 300 miles in a day.

b. 150 miles.

Explanation:

a. if mileage is 300 then rental charges will be,

Plan I : $36 + 17 cents * miles

$36 + 0.17 * 300 = $41.10.

Plan II : $24 + 25 cents * miles

$24 + 0.25 * 300 = $99.00

Plan I total cost for 300 miles is $41.10 whereas Plan II total cost for 300 miles is $99.00. Plan I is better plan and cost effective.

b. For mileage (m) calculation we will use equation;

Plan I = Plan II

$36 + 0.17m = $24 +0.25m

0.25m - 0.17m = $36 - $24

m = $12 / 0.08

m = 150 miles.

Maple Industries has 7 percent bonds outstanding that mature in thirteen years. The bonds pay interest semiannually and have a f
levacccp [35]

Answer:

A. 6.75%

Explanation:

In this question, we use the Rate formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.  

The NPER represents the time period.  

Given that,  

Present value = $1,021.16

Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 7% ÷ 2 = $35

NPER = 13 years × 2 = 26 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after solving this, the pretax cost of debt is 6.75%     (3.38% × 2)
