Making a decision by listing pros and cons.
Answer:
Company A
a. Differential Analysis dated May 29
Alternative 1 Alternative 2
Opportunity cost $250,000 $550,000
Variable production costs 580,000 192,000
Total cost $830,000 $742,000
b. Sunk cost in this situation is: $225,000 ($400,000 - $175,000) cost of the old machine.
Explanation:
Company A's relevant cost for the old machine is the opportunity cost that it will lose if it continues with Alternative 1 or continued use of the old machine and the additional cost for the new machine for Alternative 2. Also relevant is the variable production costs that would be incurred if the old or new machine is used.
Company A's sunk cost is the cost of the old machine minus accumulated depreciation. Sunk cost is not relevant for decision making under differential analysis.
Company A's differential analysis is a managerial tool that is used to differentiate one decision alternative from another. In this analysis, only relevant costs are considered. A relevant cost in this case is cost that its inclusion or elimination makes a difference in the decision outcome.
Question Completion:
Estimated manufacturing overhead costs = $156,000
Estimated direct labor cost = $390,000
Estimated direct materials cost = $350,000
Answer:
Pajama Corp.
The cost driver rate = $0.40 per DL cost.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Estimated manufacturing overhead costs = $156,000
Estimated direct labor cost = $390,000
Estimated direct materials cost = $350,000
Cost driver rate = $0.40 ($156,000/$390,000)
b) To calculate the cost driver rate, Pajamas Corp. divides the total estimated manufacturing overhead costs by the cost driver (direct labor cost). This implies that the cost driver rate is the total cost of activity pool divided by its cost driver. This yields the amount of overhead and indirect costs related to a particular activity.
Answer:
shifts the supply of loanable funds and reduces interest rates.
Explanation:
The supply and demand curves of money (loanable funds) work in the same way as every other good or service. When the supply of a good or service increases, the supply curve shifts to the right, increasing total quantity supplied and decreasing equilibrium price. When we are talking about loans, the equilibrium price is the interest rate.
