Assume a division of Hewlett-Packard currently makes 12,000 circuit boards per year used in producing diagnostic electronic inst

ruments at a cost of $34 per board, consisting of variable costs per unit of $24 and fixed costs per unit of $10.
Further assume Sanmina-SCI offers to sell Hewlett-Packard the 12,000 circuit boards for $34 each.
If Hewlett-Packard accepts this offer, the facilities currently used to make the boards could be rented to one of Hewlett-Packard's suppliers for $46,000 per year.
In addition, $6 per unit of the fixed overhead applied to the circuit boards would be totally eliminated.
Calculate the net benefit (cost) to HP of outsourcing the component from Samina-SCI.
(Use a negative sign with your answer, if appropriate.)

Answer:

The net benefit is -$26,000

Explanation:

Given the above information,

The total cost of manufacturing 12,000 circuit boards

= 12,000 × $34

= $408,000

Total purchase price

= 12,000 × $34

= $408,000

Fixed overhead cost applied

= 12,000 × $6

= $72,000

The rental income = $46,000

Outsourcing cost

= Total purchase price + Fixed overhead cost applied - Rental income

= $408,000 + $72,000 - $46,000

= $434,000

Therefore, Net benefit

= Total cost of manufacturing - Outsourcing cost

=$408,000 - $434,000

= -$26,000

A profit-maximizing entrepreneur rents an apple orchard for a day. He is a price taker in both the market for labor and the mark
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

c. 5

Explanation:

L       Q     MPL (ΔinQ/ΔinL)    VMPL

4      52  

5      60              8                       80

6      66              6                       60

7      70               4                       40

8 72               2                       20

Note: Labour hired per day = L, Total product = Q, Marginal Product of labor=MPL, VMPL =Price*MPL

A firm will maximize the profit by increasing the number of labor as long as VMPL is higher than or equal to the wage rate. In this case, we observe that VMPL ($80)>wage rate ($75) for L=5 but VMPL ($60)<wage rate ($75) for L=6. So, the optimal number of labor to be hired is 5.

zimovet [89]

Answer:

January 1, 2020

Bonds Payable                                          1600000 Dr

Loss on Redemption of bonds                 36800 Cr

     Discount on Bonds Payable                        4800 Cr

     Cash                                                              1632000 Cr

Explanation:

The redemption of bonds before the maturity usually requires a payment for redemption which is a certain percentage of its face value. It is usually higher than the face value. The above bonds are redeemed at 102 which means at 102% of the face value of the bonds. Thus, the cash paid to redeem the bonds is,

Cash = 1600000 * 102%  =  1632000

The bonds have a carrying value, which is the face value less discount or add premium, of,

Carrying value = 1600000 - 4800  =  $1595200

If they are redeemed for an amount in excess of the carrying value, they are redeemed at a loss.

The loss on redemption is,

Loss = 1595200 - 1632000 = $36800
