Swifty Corporation incurs the following costs to produce 9900 units of a subcomponent:

Direct materials $8316

Direct labor 11187

Variable overhead 12474

Fixed overhead 16200

Total cost= $48,177

Buy:

Total cost= 9,900*2.85 + (16,200 - 3,000)= $41,415

The net income will increase by $6,712 if the subcomponent is purchased.

Answer:

A. the double coincidence of wants problem.

Explanation:

Trade by barter involves the exchange of goods and services for goods and services without the use of money as a medium of exchange. In barter system, there is what we call double coincidence of wants. This is the economic situation whereby both parties holds what the other wants to buy, so they exchange the goods directly. Here, both parties agrees to buy and sell each other commodities. However, if one of the party is not interested in what the other party is offering, it causes a disruption in the trade. This disruption refers to a drawback in the system like the example described in the question.

Here, Andy couldn't make a deal with Danny even tho he wants what Danny is offering. This is because what Danny isn't interested in what Andy is offering. Thus, the double coincidence of want and barter trade can't occur between the two parties.

Falcon Co. produces a single product. Its normal selling price is $29 per unit. The variable costs are $15 per unit. Fixed costs

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

$11,760

Explanation:

The sales less the variable cost gives the contribution margin. The contribution margin less the fixed cost gives the net operating income/profit.

Without the new offer

Profit = 5000($29 - $15) - $20,900

= $70,000 - $20,900

= $49,100

For the new order a variable selling cost of $2 per unit would be eliminated, the contribution of the order will be

= 1680($20 - $15 + $2)

= 1680 * $7

= $11,760

This is the differential effect on profit.
