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

Why must real options have positive​ value? ​(Select all the choices that​ apply.) A. Real options must have positive value beca
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

B. Real options must have positive value because they are only exercised when doing so would increase the value of the investment.

C. Having the real option but not the obligation to act is valuable.

D. If exercising the real option would reduce​ value, managers can allow the option to go unexercised.

Explanation:

A real option is a choice made available to the managers of a company concerning business investment opportunities. It is referred to as “real” because it typically references projects involving a tangible asset instead of a financial instrument. Tangible assets are physical assets such as machinery, land, and buildings, as well as inventory.

A 'real option' is also a choice available to a company regarding an investment opportunity. The term 'real' means that it refers to a tangible asset and not a financial instrument. Examples of real options include determining whether to build a new factory, change the machinery and technology on a production line.
