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.

Tema [17]

Answer:

an electronics store

Explanation:

This is so because there is more population that earns less than $75,000 and they are people that like to spend their money on buying electronics such as TVs. So a new business dedicated to selling electronics (TVs, computers, mobile phones, and so on) could have a great opportunity with this population. More people would be attracted to visit the shop location or buying online.

Rex's doughnuts can produce only 100 doughnuts a day. the variable cost incurred per unit is $2 and fixed costs incurred per day
vladimir1956 [14]
The total cost that is incurred by producing 100 doughnuts is equal to the sum of the variable cost and the fixed cost. The total variable cost is,
    total variable cost = ($2/doughnut)(100 doughnuts) = $200

The total cost is,
   Total cost = total variable cost + total fixed cost
     TC = $200 + $500 = $700

Equating the cost and the revenue,
     TC = TR
     $700 = (100)(x)

The value of x from the equation is $7.

Answer:

The statement is: False.
