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

natita [175]

Answer:

The disposal resulted was at D. No gain or loss

Explanation:

The gain or loss on disposal on a fixed asset is calculated by comparing the sales proceeds from disposing off the asset and the carrying value of the asset.

The carrying value of the asset is its net book value which is calculated as follows,

Carrying value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation

If the carrying value is equal to the sales proceeds from disposal, there is no gain or loss.

The carrying value of copy machine was = 45000  -  44000  =  $1000

The sales proceeds were also $1000

Thus, gain/loss on disposal = 1000 - 1000 = $0

Thus, there was no gain or loss on disposal.

Answer:

The correct answer is total revenue; total cost.

Explanation:

Cost reduction is one of the most addressed issues in companies. They do it all the time since it is a permanent process. This is because it always seeks to improve the profitability of the company and, consequently, productivity. In other words, try to "do more with less", which is to produce more with what you have or produce the same with lower expenses. In both cases the objective is to reduce costs.

A company can reduce costs for many reasons: for a drop in sales, for lack of liquidity, for not having access to credit, etc. And when this happens, the cost cut occurs in the areas of human resources with the dismissal of personnel, the restructuring of the purchase processes, changes of suppliers, among other measures.

It is important to know what the current production process is and, if possible, redesign it, seeking to eliminate unnecessary steps, that is, to shorten the production processes. A long production line implies a greater number of workers, more work in the process and more time in product development. It also increases the possibility of errors in the process.

To make the cost reduction in your company even more efficient, you need to know each process deeply to detect unnecessary steps and help you reduce processes and / or procedures that in the medium or long term translate into cost reduction.
