Comparison of two alternatives for breakeven An IE works in the automation department of a surgical equipment manufacturing company that produces specially ordered equipment for hospitals. To upgrade the quality of the assembly process of the camera used in laparoscopic surgery probes, two approaches are available: make and buy. The make alternative has an initial equipment cost of $175,000, a life of 5 years, a $25,000 salvage value, a processing cost of $3,000 per camera, and an M&O cost of $80,000. The buy alternative requires contracting the assembly operation externally at a cost of $6,750 per camera. If the MARR is 12% per year, how many cameras per year must be assembled to justify the make alternative?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

35 cameras

Explanation:

Initial equipment cost = $175,000

life span = 5 years

salvage value = $25,000

processing cost per camera = $3000

M and O cost = $80,000

cost of contracting assembly operation externally = $6,750 per camera

MARR = 12% per year

Determine the number of  cameras per year to be assembled

let number of camera = n

we will make use of the relation below

EUAC of make option = 175000*(A/P,12%,5) + 3000*n + 80000 - 25000*(A/F,12%,5)

= 175000 * 0.277410 +  3000*n + 80000 - 25000*0.157410

= 132482 + 3000 n

Hence the EUAC of the alternative

= 6750 * n

∴ 6750 n = 132482 + 3000 n

n = 132482 / 3750 = 35.33 ≈ 35 Alternative cameras must be assembled

Answers

Answer:

the minimum price depends on the owner's discount rate. For example, if the discount rate is 12% per year or 1% per month, then the price should equal:

PV =  $1,000,000 x 90.81942 (PVIFA, 1%, 240 periods) = $90,819,420

You would need to adjust the PVIFA depending on the owner's discount rate; the higher the rate, the lower the price.

The company budgeted for production of 2,400 units in June, but actual production was 2,500 units. The company used 19,850 pounds of direct material and 980 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The company purchased 21,700 pounds of the direct material at $6.70 per pound. The actual direct labor rate was $19.20 per hour and the actual variable overhead rate was $1.80 per hour.

The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased.

The variable overhead efficiency variance for June is: _________

a. $36 U
b. $36 F
c. $40 U
d. $40 F

Answers

Answer:

d. $40 F

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what The variable overhead efficiency variance for June is

First step is to calculate the SH

SH = 2,500 units × 0.4 hour per unit

SH= 1,000 hours

Now let calculate the Variable overhead efficiency variance

Using this formula

Variable overhead efficiency variance = (AH - SH) × SR

Let plug in the formula

Variable overhead efficiency variance= (980 hours - 1,000 hours) × $2 per hour= (-20 hours) × $2 per hour

Variable overhead efficiency variance= $40 F

Therefore Variable overhead efficiency variance is $40 F

Management of Mittel Company would like to reduce the amount of time between when a customer places an order and when the order is shipped. For the first quarter of operations during the current year the following data were reported:

a. Compute the throughput time. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
b. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for the quarter.
c. What percentage of the throughput time was spent in non–value-added activities?
d. Compute the delivery cycle time.
e. If by using Lean Production all queue time during production is eliminated, what will be the new MCE?

Answers

Answer:1.

a)Through put time =8.4days

b)The manufacturing cycle efficiency  =36.9%

c)percentage of the through put time spent on non–value-added activities =63.1%

d)Delivery time =25.4days

e) The  New  manufacturing cycle efficiency =73.8%

Explanation:

1. The through put time is given as

Process time + Inspection time + Move time+Queue time

Through put time=3.1 + 0.2 + 0.9 + 4.2

Through put time=8.4days

2. The manufacturing cycle efficiency

,is given as

Process  ÷Through put time

manufacturing cycle efficiency

, =3.1/8.4=0.369=36.9%

3. The manufacturing cycle efficiency

, is 36.9%

Thus percentage of the throughput time spent in non–value-added activities is  given as

1 - 36.9% = 63.1%

4.The delivery cycle time is calculated as

Wait time + through put time

Delivery cycle =17.0  + 8.4 = 25.4 days

5.  The New manufacturing cycle efficiency  is calculated as

Process ÷through put time

But the new through put time =8.4 -4.2=4.2

New  manufacturing cycle efficiency  =3.1 / 4.2 = 0.7380

=73.8%

Let corn denote per capita consumption of corn in bushels at the county level, let price be the price per bushel of corn, let income denote per capita county income, and let rainf all be inches of rainfall during the last corn-growing season. The following simultaneous equations model imposes the equilibrium condition that supply equals demand:

corn = α1 price + β1 income + u1

corn = α2 price + β2 rainfall + γ2 rainfall 2 + u2 .

Which is the supply equation, and which is the demand equation? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

corn = α1 price + β1 income + u1  <=== Demand equation

corn = α2 price + β2 rainfall + γ2 rainfall 2 + u2 <=== Supply equation.

Explanation:

Given:

corn = α1 price + β1 income + u1 …………………………………………. (1)

corn = α2 price + β2 rainfall + γ2 rainfall 2 + u2 …………………….. (2)

From the above, equation (1) is the demand equation while equation (2) the supply equation.

Equation (1) is the demand equation because parts of the factors determining the demand for a product are the price of the product itself and the income of the buyers. However, rainfall is NOT one of the factors determining the demand for a product.

Equation (2) is the supply equation because parts of the factors determining the supply a product are the price of the product itself and other factors such as rainfall for corn in this case. However, income of the buyers is NOT one of the factors determining the supply for a product.

Gilberto Company currently manufactures 90,000 units per year of one of its crucial parts. Variable costs are $3.20 per unit, fixed costs related to making this part are $100,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $87,000 per year. Allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys the part. Gilberto is considering buying the part from a supplier for a quoted price of $4.40 per unit guaranteed for a three-year period. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 90,000 and buying 90,000 units. Should the company continue to manufacture the part, or should it buy the part from the outside supplier?

Answers

Answer:

Part 1

total incremental cost of making 90,000 units =  $388,000

total incremental cost of buying 90,000 units = $396,000

Part 2

There is a cost advantage of $8,000 of making than buying, therefore  the company should continue to manufacture the part.

Explanation:

total incremental cost of making 90,000 units

Variable costs are ($3.20 x 90,000 units)    $288,000

Fixed Costs                                                      $100,000

Total                                                                 $388,000

total incremental cost of buying 90,000 units

Purchase Price ($4.40 x 90,000 units)          $396,000

Total                                                                 $396,000

Decision :

There is a cost advantage of $8,000 of making than buying, therefore  the company should continue to manufacture the part.

Jacques lives in Miami and runs a business that sells guitars. In an average year, he receives $793,000 from selling guitars. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $430,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $301,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $15,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Jacques does not operate this guitar business, he can work as a financial advisor, receive an annual salary of $50,000 with no additional monetary costs, and rent out his showroom at the $15,000 per year rate. No other costs are incurred in running this guitar business.

Answer:

Explicit Costs

The wages and utility bills that Jake pays

The wholesale cost for the guitars that Jake pays the manufacturer

Implicit costs

The salary Jake could earn if he worked as an accountant

The rental income Jake could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom

Accounting profit = $62,000

economic profit = $-3000

Explanation:

Explicit cost includes the amount expended in running the business. They include rent , salary and cost of raw materials

Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives. Jacques forgoes the opportunity to earn a salary and rent out his showroom when he started his business

Accounting profit= total revenue - explicit cost

$793,000 - ($430,000 + $301,000) = $62,000

Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit cost

$62,000 - (50,000 + 15,000) =$-3000

An electronics firm is currently manufacturing an item that has a variable cost of $.50 per unit and a selling price of $1.00 per unit. Fixed costs are $14,000. Current volume is 30,000 units. The firm can substantially improve the product quality by adding a new piece of equipment at an additional fixed cost of $6,000. Variable cost would increase to $.60, but volume should jump to 50,000 units due to a higherquality product. Should the company buy the new equipment

Answers

Answer: The company should not buy the new equipment

Explanation:

For the 1st case:

Revenue = Selling price × Number of units

= 1 × 30000

= $30,000

Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost

= 14000 + (0.5 × 30000)

= 14000 + 15000

= $29000

Profit = Revenue - Cost

= $30000 - $29000

= $1000

For the 2nd case:

Revenue = Selling price × Number of units

Revenue = Selling price × Number of units

= 1 × 50000

= $50,000

Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost

= 20000 + (0.6 × 50000)

= 20000 + 30000

= $50000

Profit = Revenue - Cost

= $50000 - $50000

= $0

Based on the calculation above, the company should not buy the new equipment as no profit will be made while currently a profit of $1000 is made.

Cityscape Hotels has 200 rooms available in a major metropolitan city. The hotel is able to attract business customers during the weekdays and leisure customers during the weekend. However, the leisure customers on weekends occupy fewer rooms than do business customers on weekdays.
Thus, Cityscape plans to provide special weekend pricing to attract additional leisure customers. A hotel room is priced at $180 per room night. The cost of a hotel room night includes the following:
Cost Per Room Night (at normal occupancy)
Housekeeping service................................................................$ 23
Utilities............................................................................................7
Amenities........................................................................................3
Hotel depreciation.........................................................................55
Hotel staff (excluding housekeeping)............................................42
Total....................................................................................$130

In June 2015, the unemployment rate declined to 5.3 percent from 5.5 percent in May. The labor force participation rate also declined from May to June, from 62.9 percent to 62.6 percent. If the labor force participation rate had remained unchanged from May to June, the unemployment rate for June 2015 would be

Answers

Answer: A. greater than 5.3 percent because the value in the numerator of the formula for the unemployment rate would increase more than the value in the denominator.

Explanation:

The unemployment rate is calculated by dividing the number of those who are unemployed but actively seeking employment by the labor force.

= Unemployed / Labor force

If the labor force participation rate had remained unchanged then that would mean that the denominator for the unemployment rate did not change while unemployment did.

The unemployment rate will therefore be greater than 5.3% because the numerator which is the unemployment figure, would have increase more than the denominator.

The market demand curve in perfect competition is found by A. the interaction of supply and demand at the individual firm and consumer levels. B. horizontally summing the demand curves of the individual consumers. C. utility maximizing behavior of the​ "representative consumer." D. horizontally summing the supply curves of the individual firms in the industry.

Answers

Answer:

b

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.

the demand curve is a graph of the quantity demanded on the vertical axis and the price on the horizontal axis. it is downward sloping

market demand curve is the aggregation of demand curves 

Because goods are identical, market demand curve can be determined by horizontally summing the demand curves of the individual consumers

If the toothpaste market is monopolistically competitive, product differentiation would not take the form of: production of many varieties of toothpaste, including those with whitening agents. quality differences among the various brands. setting the price of the product well below the price charged by the rivals. differentiation in the locations where certain toothpastes are available.

Answers

Answer:

setting the price of the product well below the price charged by the rival

Explanation:

A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants  

When firms are earning positive economic profit, in the long run, firms enter into the industry. This drives economic profit to zero

If firms are earning negative economic profit, in the long run, firms leave the industry.  This drives economic profit to zero

in the long run, only normal profit is earned

If a monopolistically competitive sets price below competitors, losses would be made. So, there is no incentive to do this
