Answer:

Xia Co.

1-a. The relevant costs for Xia Co. to make or buy the part:

Direct materials         $2.25

Direct labor                   1.00

Incremental overhead 0.75

Total relevant cost   $4.00

1-b. Xia should make the part.  It will cost Xia $4.00 to make the component while it costs it $5.00 to buy.  It should therefore, make the component.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Price of buying component = $5

Cost of making component:

Direct materials         $2.25

Direct labor                   1.00

Incremental overhead 0.75

Total relevant cost    $4.00

b) The relevant cost for making the component is $4.00.  The overhead cost based on 200% direct labor is not a relevant cost.  It is an allocated fixed cost and must be incurred whatever decision is taken.  By making the component, Xia Co. will be netting in a unit contribution of $1 ($5.00 - $4.00) with the alternative of buying.

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Explanation:

Option A is incorrect because the expected return must be greater than the marginal cost of the capital which means that the Net Present Value must be positive.

Option B is correct because the increase in cost of debt or capital would increase the weighted average cost of capital. This is because weighted average cost of capital is directly proportional to cost of capital sources.

Option C is incorrect because its not the cost of one of the capital sources, actually it is the weighted average cost of capital which when starts increasing at a point due to increase in the level of financing is known as breaking point.

So the only statement that is correct is option B.
