Answer:
For both 10,000 units and 20,000 units, the best alternative is Vendor B
Explanation:
Using the information provided in the question, we can write the following:
Annual Volume of 10,000 units
Internal Alternative 1
Variable costs = 170,000 (we multiply the variable cost per unit by total units)
Fixed costs = 20,000
Total costs = 370,000
Internal Alternative 2
Variable costs = 140,000
Fixed costs = 240,000
Total costs = 380,000
Vendor A
Total cost = 200,000 (we simply multiply the price by the quantity)
Vendor B
Total cost = 180,000
Vendor C
Total cost = 190,000
The cheapest option is Vendor B
Now for the 20,000 units:
Internal Alternative 1
Variable costs = 340,000
Fixed costs = 200,000
Total costs = 540,000
Internal Alternative 2
Variable costs = 280,000
Fixed costs = 240,000
Total costs = 520,000
Vendor A
Total cost = 400,000
Vendor B
Total cost = 360,000
Vendor C
Total cost = 380,000
Therefore, Vendor B is once again, the cheapest alternative.

Answer:
C. Step variable cost
Explanation:
Fixed costs are those costs which are incurred anyways irrespective of the level of operation of a business or the volume of activity. For example rent of factory is a fixed cost which has to be incurred regardless of the production level.
Variable costs are those costs which vary with the level of production. e.g labor cost.
In this case, a T- shirt is given to every 100th customer. This kind of cost is step cost at the level of 100th customer. The number of T-shirts in a day would depend upon the no of patrons arriving each day i.e variable.
Thus, this is the case of a step variable cost which is incurred at discrete point i.e every 100th customer.

The human rights violated was the Americans with Disability Act (ADA)
Explanation:
The Americans with Disability Act (ADA) which became effective in 1990 is a a civil rights act that prohibits any form of discrimination based on disabilities. The civil rights law also covers for employees with disabilities which include both mental and physical conditions.
As stated by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, some disabilities included in the ADA civil rights law include; autism, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, bipolar disorder and many others.
From the case stated above, the cashier, a diabetic ate a bag of potato chips without paying but paid as soon as her shift ended which led to the termination of her appointment.
She ate the chips without paying because she realized her blood glucose level was low and was about to have a hypoglycemia attack.
Her employer knew of her disability but still went ahead to fire her, violating her ADA civil rights.
Knowing about her disability, they would have accommodated her seeing that she prevented an impending emergency (hypoglycemia attack). No matter how strict the organization’s policies are, they should be flexible especially with disabled people.
