Autoliv produces air bag systems that it sells to automobile manufacturers throughout the world. Assume the company has a capaci

ty of 50 million units per year, it is currently producing at an annual rate of 40 million units. Autoliv has received an order from a Japanese manufacturer to purchase 100,000 units at $65 each. Budgeted costs for 40 million and 45 million units are as follows:
(in thousands, except costs per unit) 40 Million Units 45 Million Units
Manufacturing costs
Direct materials $ 560,000 $ 630,000
Direct labor 220,000 247,500
Factory overhead 1,780,000 1,822,500
Total 2,560,000 2,700,000
Selling and administrative 1,120,000 1,125,000
Total $ 3,680,000 $ 3,825,000
Costs per unit
Manufacturing $ 64.00 $ 60.00
Selling and administrative 28.00 25.00
Total $ 92.00 $ 85.00
Sales to auto manufacturers are priced at $120 per unit, but the sales manager believes the company should aggressively seek the Japanese business even if it results in a loss of $20 per unit. She believes obtaining this order would open up several new markets for the company's product. The general manager commented that the company cannot tighten its belt to absorb the $2,000,000 loss ($20 × 100,000) it would incur if the order is accepted.
(a) Determine the financial implications of accepting the order. (Hint: Use the high-low method to determine variable costs per unit.)
Accepting the offer will Answerdecreaseincrease
profits by $________
(b) How would your analysis differ if the company were operating at capacity? Determine the advantage or disadvantage of accepting the order under full-capacity circumstances.

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. The variable cost per unit will be:

= (3,825,000 - 3,680,000) / (45million - 40 million)

= 0.029

Then, the financial order of accepting the order will be:

Contribution margin = Unit selling price - Unit

= 65 - 29

= 36

Since the size of the order is 100,000, the financial impact of accepting the order will be:

= 36 × 100,000

= 3,600,000

b. The differential analysis will be:

Contribution from special order = 3,600,000

Opportunity cost {100,000 = 120,000,000 - 29,000,000 = 9,100,000

Net disadvantage of accepting order will then be:

= 3600000 - 9100000

= 5,500,000

What are the determinants of supply? Instructions: In order to receive full credit, you must make a selection for each option. F
inysia [295]

Answer:

Number of producers

Prices of other goods

Technology

Resource prices

Explanation:

Supply is the total amount of goods and services available to consumers in a market

The higher the number of producers, the higher the number of goods produced and  the higher the supply all things being equal. The reverse would be the case if the number of producers fall.

If the price of other good increases, it would be more profitable to produce the other goods. As a result, the number of producers available to  good would reduce.

Technological progress that reduces cost of production and makes production more efficient, would lead to an increase in supply.

If the price of inputs increases, it becomes more expensive to produce the good and as a result, supply would fall.

Suppose that your marginal federal income tax rate is 30%, the sum of your marginal state and local tax rates is 5%, and the yie
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Marginal federal income tax rate = 30%

Sum of your marginal state and local tax rates = 5%

Yield on thirty-year U.S. Treasury bonds = 10%

Municipal bond has a yield:

= U.S Treasury bonds × (1 - tax)

= 10% × (1 - 30%)

= (10 ÷ 100) × [1 - (30 ÷ 100)]

= (10 ÷ 100) × (70 ÷ 100 )

= (1 ÷ 10) × (7 ÷ 10 )

= (7 ÷ 100)

= 7%
