Eastside Company incurs a total cost of $120,000 in producing 10,000 units of a component needed in the assembly of its major product. The component can be purchased from an outside supplier for $11 per unit. A related cost study indicates that the total cost of the component includes fixed costs equal to 25% of the variable costs involved.                                                                                             a. Should Eastside buy the component if it cannot otherwise use the released capacity? Present your answer in the form of differential analysis.                                                                                                                                     b. What would be your answer to requirement (a) if the released capacity could be used in a project that would generate $20,000 of contribution margin?

Concord Corporation can produce 100 units of a necessary component part with the following costs: Direct Materials $23000 Direct Labor 9000 Variable Overhead Fixed Overhead 25000 O $50000 O $57000 O $62000 O $64000 12000 If Concord Corporation purchases the component externally, $5000 of the fixed costs can be avoided. Below what external price for the 100 units would Concord choose to buy instead of make the units?

Swifty's Manufacturing Company can make 100 units of a necessary component part with the following costs: Direct Materials Direct Labor Variable Overhead Fixed Overhead $117000 22000 49000 30000 If Swifty's Manufacturing Company purchases the component externally, $20000 of the fixed costs can be avoided. What is the maximum amount Swifty is willing to pay to purchase the 100 units? $218000 O $188000 $198000 $208000

Cox Electric makes electronic components and has estimated the following for a new design of one of its products. Fixed cost = $23,750 • Material cost per unit = $0.17 • Labor cost per unit = $0.11 • Revenue per unit = $0.66 Note that fixed cost is incurred regardless of the amount produced. Per-unit material and labor cost together make up the variable cost per unit. Assuming that Cox Electric sells all that it produces, profit is calculated by subtracting the fixed cost and total variable cost from total revenue. Construct an appropriate spreadsheet model to find the profit based on a given production level and use the spreadsheet model to answer these questions. (a) Construct a one-way data table with production volume as the column input and profit as the output. Breakeven occurs when profit goes from a negative to a positive value; that is, breakeven is when total revenue = the total cost, yielding a profit of zero. Vary production volume from 0 to 100,000 in increments of 10,000.…
