Gelb Company currently manufactures 52,500 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $

4.05 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $65,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $75,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.50 per unit. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 52,500 units and buying 52,500 units. Should it continue to manufacture the component, or should it buy this component from the outside supplier

Answer:

Gelb Company should choose to Buy the Component since it is the cheaper option. This gives a cost advantage of $28,875.

Explanation:

For each Option, include costs which are unavoidable because those would change as a result of this decision, they are relevant costs items.

Total incremental cost : Making

Variable costs (52,500 x $4.05)    $212,625

Fixed Costs (unavoidable)               $75,500

Total                                                 $288,125

Total incremental cost : Buying

Purchase Price ( 52,500 x $3.50) $183,750

Fixed Costs (unavoidable)              $75,500

Total                                               $259,250

Conclusion :

Gelb Company should choose to Buy the Component since it is the cheaper option. This gives a cost advantage of $28,875 ($288,125 - $259,250).

Select the correct answer.
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

A.

They ensure that people and businesses can buy what they need.

Explanation:

Borrowing involves requesting and receiving a huge sum of money in a lump sum. Households and firms borrow from lenders to finance business expansion or domestic consumption.

In the economy, borrowing is significant as it facilitates the acquisition of start-up capital, capital goods, and household developments. Without borrowing and lending, these investments and consumption would not be possible as they require large sums of money to initialize. If firms and households depended on savings for capital and consumption expenditure, the rate of economic growth would be very slow. It would take many years to achieve the substantial amount needed for expansion and development projects.

Assume that the hourly cost to operate a commercial airplane follows the normal distribution with a mean of $5,793 per hour and
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

x1 = 4891.294

Explanation:

given data

mean μ =  $5,793

standard deviation  σ =  $439

solution

we know here that

P(x < x1 ) = 0.02     .................1

so

P(\frac{x-\mu }{\sigma } < \frac{x1-\mu }{\sigma }) = 0.02

so

P(z < \frac{x1-\mu }{\sigma }) = 0.02

\frac{x1-\mu }{\sigma }  = invNorm(0.02)

so

x1 = μ + σ × invNorm(0.02)    .....................2

we use here table for invNorm(0.02) and put value in eq 2

x1 = 5793 + 439 × (-2.054 )

x1 = 4891.294
