Total and unit cost, decision making. Gayle’s Glassworks makes glass flanges for scientific use. Materials cost $1 per flange, and the glass blowers are paid a wage rate of $28 per hour. A glass blower blows 10 flanges per hour. Fixed manufacturing costs for flanges are $28,000 per period. Period (nonmanufacturing) costs associated with flanges are $10,000 per period and are fixed.
1. Graph the fixed, variable, and total manufacturing cost for flanges, using units (number of flanges) on the x-axis.2. Assume Gayle’s Glassworks manufactures and sells 5,000 flanges this period. Its competitor, Flora’s Flasks, sells flanges for $10 each. Can Gayle sell below Flora’s price and still make a profit on the flanges?3. How would your answer to requirement 2 differ if Gayle’s Glassworks made and sold 10,000 flanges this period? Why? What does this indicate about the use of unit cost in decision making?

Answer:

1. this is a graph. i have added it as an attachment

2. gayles glass work cannot sell below floras flask and still make profit.

3. here gayles glasswork can sell below floras flask and still make profit. unit cost helps in decision making concerning selling price and profit

Explanation:

1. please check the attachment for the graph.  we have number of flanges on the x axis of the graph and costs of manufacturing on the y axis.

2. 10 flanges at $1 + $28/hr

= $38

the variable cost for manufacturing per unit of flange =  38/10 = $3.8

[tex]total cost per flange = (3.8 +\frac{28000}{5000} )+\frac{10000}{5000}[/tex]

= $11.40

so if Gayle's should manufacture and sell 5000 flanges, it would have total cost per flange as 11.40 dollars. while floras flask has 10 dollars per flask. Gayle's glasswork should not sell below 10 dollars as it would not be able to make profit.

3. If gayles glasswork sold and made 10000 flanges this period

[tex]total cost per flange=[3.80+\frac{28000}{10000} ]+\frac{10000}{10000}[/tex]

= $7.60

the selling price of flora flask is = 10 dollars with Gayle's = 7.60 dollars. Gayle's can make profit by keeping selling price less than flora flask. therefore Gayle can make profit by selling below flora flask.

What does this indicate about the use of unit cost in decision making?

we saw how unit cost fell fro 11.40 dollars to 7.6 dollars as fixed and period costs remained unchanged, not withstanding the number of units that was being manufactured. this shows that unit cost plays a great role in decision making concerning selling price, profit as well as feasibility of the product.

Florissa's Flowers jointly produces three varieties of flowers in the same garden: tulips, lilies, and daisies. The flowers are all watered via the same irrigation system and all receive the same amount of water; daisies require three times as much as lilies, and the water required for tulips is about halfway between the amounts needed for daisies and lilies. Although the lilies and tulips receive more water than they need due to the joint irrigation process, they are not hurt by the overwatering. The joint production cost of the three varieties of flowers is about $30 per harvest. Every harvest yields 10 tulips, 20 lilies, and 20 daisies.

Functions of money and barter
Consider an economy in which money does not exist, so that agents rely on barter to carry out transactions. When the economy was small, barter seemed sufficient. However, the economy has now begun to grow.
If people in this economy trade three goods, the price tag of each good must list ______prices, and the economy requires_____prices for people to carry out transactions. Suppose that the number of goods people trade increases to 15. Then the price tag of each good must list___prices, and the number of prices that the economy requires increases to_____. Now suppose that our economy has a money. The government now issues a national currency and there is no longer any barter.
In this economy, money and currency are not the same because:____.
1. The fact that the government issues currency means that the currency will be accepted as money by all agents.
2. The fact that the currency is backed by the government means that it will never lose value and will remain a perfect unit of account.
3. Just because the government issues currency does not mean that the currency will be accepted as money, since it must be used as a medium of exchange, store of value and standard of value.
4. Just because the government issues currency does not mean that the currency will be accepted as money, and buyers and sellers still need barter to ensure that money does not lose its value.
Suppose now that our economy is suffering from rapid, ongoing increases in the cost of living. Which characteristic of money is directly negatively impacted in that economy?
1. Medium of exchange.
2. Double coincidence of wants.
3. Store of value.
4. Unit of account.

Sandia Inc. wants to acquire a $360,000 computer-controlled printing press. If owned, the press would be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years to a book salvage value of $0.

Management of Plascencia Corporation is considering whether to purchase a new model 370 machine costing $523,000 or a new model 220 machine costing $482,000 to replace a machine that was purchased 7 years ago for $518,000. The old machine was used to make product 143L until it broke down last week Unfortunately, the old machine cannot be repaired. Management has decided to buy the new model 220 machine. It has less capacity than the new model 370 machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making product 143L Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of simply dropping product 143L. If that were done, instead of investing $340,000 in the new machine, the money could be invested in a project that would return a total of $497,000. In making the decision to buy the model 220 machine rather than the model 370 machine, the sunk cost was:
A. $518,000
B. $482,000
C. $523,000
