Answer:

It is more convenient to produce in house.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct materials $ 4.00

Direct labor 8.00

Overhead 9.00

Total costs per unit $ 21.00

Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable. The overhead is 80% fixed. An outside supplier has offered to supply the 61,000 units of RX5 for $19.00 per unit.

The fixed costs are unavoidable, therefore we will concentrate the analysis in the variable costs.

Make in house:

Unitary cost= 4 + 8 + (9*0.20)= $13.8

Buy= 19

Difference= 19 - 13.8= 5.2

It is more convenient to produce in house.

alexdok [17]

Answer:

increasing returns to scale

Exercise 11-1 Compute the Return on Investment (ROI) [LO11-1] Alyeska Services Company, a division of a major oil company, provi
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

1. Margin = 0.32 or 32%

2. Turnover = $19,000,000  or Operating Asset Turnover = 0.52 or 52%

3. Return on Investment = 0.17 or 17%

Explanation:

Firstly, list out the parameters we were given:

Sales = $19,000,000, Net Operating Income = $6,100,000,

Average Operating Assets = $36,500,000

1. Operating Margin = Net Operating Income / Sales

Operating Margin = 6,100,000 ÷ 19,000,000 = 0.32

Operating Margin = <u>0.32</u> (to 2 decimal places)

Operating Margin = <u>32%</u>

<u />

2. Turnover refers to sales or revenue made during a particular period. In which case turnover is <u>$19,000,000</u>

However, if the turnover referred to is the Operating Asset Turnover, that is calculated below:

Operating Asset Turnover = Sales / Average Operating Assets

Operating Asset Turnover = 19,000,000 ÷ 36,500,000

Operating Asset Turnover = <u>0.52</u> (to 2 decimal places)

Operating Asset Turnover = <u>52%</u>

<u />

3. Return on Investment (ROI) = Net Operating Income / Average Operating Assets

Return on Investment (ROI) = 6,100,000 ÷ 36,500,000

Return on Investment (ROI) = <u>0.17</u> (to 2 decimal places)

Return on Investment (ROI) = <u>17%</u>

During a presidential campaign, the incumbent argues that he should be reelected because nominal GDP grew by 12 percent during h
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Grew by 2%

Explanation:

Given: nominal GDP =12% positive value cause it grew by 12% during these years.

              Population grew by 4%

              GDP deflator = 6% positive value cause it also grew by 6%

Question says we must find real GDP per person for the 4 year term that the president has served for so we will use the formula to calculate GDP Deflator to actually solve for Real GDP as we know the formula is GDP Deflator= (nominal GDP per person%)/(Real GDP per person%)x100

So we already have the nominal GDP and the GDP deflator therefore we substitute to the above formula:

6% = (12%)/ (Real GDP per person percentage) x100, and now we solve for Real GDP per person%

Therefore we multiply both sides with Real GDP percentage and get:

Real GDP per person %( 6%) = 12% and then we divide both sides with 6%,

Therefore Real GDP is 2% so we also see that real GDP has actual grown by 2% because the GDP deflator grew instead of decreasing where nominal GDP is also positive so if we have a fraction where an answer is positive we know both fraction values must be positive pus if the GDP deflator increases both nominal and Real GDP increase and that’s the relationship they have.
