MSI is considering outsourcing the production of the handheld control module used with some of its products. The company has rec

eived a bid from Monte Legend Co. (MLC) to produce 10,000 units of the module per year for $16 each. The following information pertains to MSI’s production of the control modules:
Direct materials $9
Direct labor $4
Variable manufacturing overhead $2
Fixed manufacturing overhead $3
Total cost per unit $18
MSI has determined that it could eliminate all variable costs if the control modules were produced externally, but none of the fixed overhead is avoidable. At this time, MSI has no specific use in mind for the space that is currently dedicated to the control module production.
Compute the difference in cost between making and buying the control module.

Answer:

If the company makes the units in-house, it will save $10,000.

Explanation:

<u>The fixed costs will remain in both options. Therefore, the fixed costs are irrelevant to the decision-making process.</u>

<u></u>

Buy:

Total cost= 10,000*16= $160,000

Make in house:

Total cost= 10,000*(9 + 4 + 2)= $150,000

If the company makes the units in-house, it will save $10,000.

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The intrinsic value of a share today is $16.87

Explanation:

Intrinsic Value of the share is calculated as below.

Dividend Valuation method is used to value the stock price of a company based on the dividend paid, its growth rate and rate of return. The price is calculated by calculating present value of future dividend payment.

Value of Share = Dividend / (Rate of return - Growth rate)

placing values in the formula

Value of share = $2 / (14% - 6%) = $25

$25 is the value of share after 3 year, to calculate today's value we have to discount it as below

Today's value of share = $25 x ( 1 + 14% )^-3 = $16.87

Daniel [21]

Answer:

A) $0

Explanation:

If the award was unsolicited and given to Joan in recognition for her accomplishments in scientific, educational, literary, religious, artistic, or civic fields, then the award is not taxed.

The unsolicited part is the key here, since most awards are given to candidates that have been previously been nominated by someone, e.g. Nobel prizes are only given to nominated candidates and the winners must pay income taxes.
