Explanation:
The Parton Company has a 'make or buy' decision. This decision involves analysing the incremental costs associated with each option. Incremental costs are costs incurred as a result of producing one more unit of a product. If the excess capacity can be utilised to produce the headlights at a lower cost than the cost of acquiring the headlights from an external supplier, then the company should produce the headlights.
The Parton Company incurs $12.80 per headlight purchased from the external supplier. Added to this cost, are the existing costs of operating below plant capacity. If making the headlights in the manufacturing plant yields a positive contribution to fixed costs, then the Parton company should produce the headlights in the manufacturing plant.
By producing the headlights, the Parton company gains a contribution to fixed costs of $1.03 per headlight.
Foregone purchase costs from supplier: $12.80
Incurred costs (directly) from production: ($11.77)
Direct materials ($4.45)
Direct Labour ($3.45)
Manufacturing Overheads: $(6.45*0.6) <u>($3.87)</u>
Net gain per headlight <u> </u><u>$1.03</u>
Answer:
D) is 20% above expectations.
Explanation:
The Augusta Division was supposed to earn a net profit of $1,000,000 (= $2,000,000 - $1,000,000). Since the division's manager and his/her team were able to cut reduce fixed costs to $900,000 and increase contribution margin to $2,100,000 (either by increasing selling price or reducing variable costs), then the division earned a net profit of $1,200,000 (= $2,100,000 - $900,000). This net profit is 20% higher than expected, therefore the manager's (and his/her team's) overall performance was 20% above expectations.

Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
