rent year, the company is considering outsourcing the survey to Global Associates, who have offered to conduct the survey and summarize results for $30,300.Craig Sunshine, the president of Sunshine Motors, believes that Global will do a higher-quality job than his company has been doing, but is unwilling to spend more than $10,000 above the current costs. The head of bookkeeping for Sunshine has prepared the following summary of costs related to the survey in the prior year.
Mailing $16,600
Printing (done by Lester Print Shop) $4,500
Salary of Pat Fisher, part-time employee who stuffed envelopes and summarized data when surveys were returned (100 hours X $15) $1,500
Share of depreciation of computer and software used to track survey responses and summarized results. $1,100
Share of electricity/phone/etc. based on square feet of space occupied by Pat Fisher vs. entire company. $500

Required:

Answer:

incremental cost analysis

                            survey is done      outsource survey     differential

                            by the company    to Global                   amount

Mailing costs       $16,600                 $0                              ($16,600)

Printing costs      $4,500                  $0                              ($4,500)

Labor costs         $1,500                   $0                              ($1,500)

Outsourcing         $0                         $30,300                    $30,300

costs                   <u>                                                                                   </u>

totals                    $22,600                $30,300                   $7,700

The incremental cost of outsourcing the surveys is $7,700. Some of the current costs are unavoidable, e.g. depreciation expense and utilities, so they should not be considered in this analysis. But other costs, e.g. direct labor, are avoidable.

I know that Pat using the computer will increase the company's electric bill by a few dollars, but it would never be $500 (maybe $5). Maybe he even calls a few customers to check some answers, but again this might add $10 to the phone bill. Also, Pat using the computer's mouse or any other equipment might result in it breaking down, but that is not worth $1,500. Since the cost analysis is not specific, it is safer not to include depreciation or utilities.

one theory behind ____ is that the best outcome to civil ______ is a _____ and that parties will move toward agreement if they u
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

The correct answers that fills the gaps are: discovery, litigation, negotiated settlement, examine, evidence.

Explanation:

The litigation is a conflict of interest qualified and elevated to a jurisdictional authority, by a subject of law, with an intention or claim against another that manifests a resistance or that opposes the approach of the former, as Francisco Carnal suggests.

Some authors consider that the concept of litigation only applies to civil proceedings in contractual disputes, and that the term controversy should be used in criminal proceedings. However, progress has been made regarding this idea, because now, in criminal proceedings, civil action or damages are usually used, which gives rise to extra contractual liability.

Computations

<u>Raw materials requirement for January</u>

Units to be produced in January                                               24,000 units

Raw material requirement for January at 4 pounds per unit     96,000 pounds

<u>Raw materials requirement for February</u>
