Here, we are decide the best option between making the part or buying the part.

a.                  Make or Buy Analysis

Particulars                              Make amount    Buy amount

Direct Materials                            $4.50

Direct Labor                                $1.00  

Overhead (80% of Direct Labor)    $0.80  

Cost to buy                            <u>              </u>            <u>$4.70</u>

Cost per unit                              <u>$5.70    </u>          <u>$4.70</u>

Cost Difference = $5.70 - $4.70

Cost Difference = $1.00

Therefore, the cost difference of making amount over buying amount is $1.00.

b. Because of the difference, Beto should buy the part because its cost is lesser than to make the part.

Therefore, the buying of the part is the best decision.

Schrute Farm Sales buys portable generators for and sells them for He pays a sales commission of​ 5% of sales revenue to his sal
Maksim231197 [3]

Complete question :

Schrute Farm Sales buys portable generators for $470 and sells them for $740. He pays a sales commission of 5% of sales revenue to his sales staff. Mr. Schrute pays $5,000 a month rent for his store, and also pays $2,200 a month to his staff in addition to the commissions. Mr. Schrute sold 600 generators in June. If Mr. Schrute prepares a contribution margin income statement for the month of June, what would be his contribution margin? O A $444,000 O B. $139,800 O C. $748.200 D. $304 200

Answer:

139,800

Explanation:

Total Revenue = (quantity sold * price) = (600 * $740) = $444,000

Purchase cost = (purchase price * quantity) = (470 * 600) = $282,000

Variable selling cost = 5% of total revenue = (0.05 * 444,000) = $22,200

Total variable cost = (cost of purchase + variable selling price) = $(282,000 + 22,200) = $304,200

Contribution margin = (revenue - variable cost) = (444,000 - 304,000) = $139,800

Therefore, CONTRIBUTION MARGIN = $139,800

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Initial investment (PV)= $270,000

Number of periods (n)= 5*2 = 10 semesters

Interest rate (i)= 0.06/2 = 0.03

<u>To calculate the future value (FV), we need to use the following formula:</u>

<u></u>

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 270,000*(1.03^10)

FV= $362,857.42

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

d. within the relevant range of operating activity, the efficiency of operations can change.

Explanation:

Cost-volume-profit analysis is also known as the break even analysis, it is an important tool in predicting the volume of activity, the costs to be incurred, the sales to be made, and the profit to be earned is. It is used to determine how changes in differing levels of activities such as costs and volume affect a company's operating income and net income.

Generally, to use the cost-volume-profit analysis, financial experts usually make some assumptions and these are;

1. Sales price per unit product is kept constant.

2. Variable costs per unit product are kept constant and the total fixed costs of production are kept constant i.e costs can be divided into fixed and variable components.

3. All the units produced are sold i.e there is no change in inventory quantities during the period.

5. The costs accrued are as a result of change in business activities.

6. A company selling more than a product should simply sell in the same mix i.e the sales mix is constant.

<em>Hence, the aforementioned are assumptions of cost-volume-profit analysis except that, within the relevant range of operating activity, the efficiency of operations can change.</em>
