8. The questin concerns the long-run. HappyDrinks manufacturers non-alcoholic beverages. In 2017, its revenues were 700 000 ($) and its labor and intermediate input costs were 450 000 ($). The firm uses machines in its manufacturing process. The purchase price of the machines was 1 400 000 ($). To buy the machines, the firm borrowed 800 000 ($) from the bank and sold 600 000 ($) of shares. The market rate of return is 10%. The economist infers that the firm's opportunity cost ($ of \"other things\" foregone) of manufacturing non-alcoholic beverages is: A. 700 000 ($ \"other things\") ?. 600 000 ($ \"other things\") C. 140 000 ($ \"other things\") D. 590 000 ($ \"other things\") ?. 60 000 ($ \"other things\")

8.4 Harris Company manufactures a single product. Costs for the year 2015 for output levels of 1,000 and 2,000 units are given in Table P8.4. At each level of output, compute the following: a. Total manufacturing costs. b. Manufacturing costs per unit c. Total variable costs d. Total variable costs per unit e. Total costs that have to be recovered if the firm is to make a profit: Table P8.4 Units Produced 1,000 2,000 Direct labor $30,000 $60,000 Direct materials 20,000 40,000 Overhead: Variable portion 12,000 24,000 Fixed portion 36,000 36,000 Selling and administrative costs: Variable portion 5,000 10,000 Fixed portion 22,000 22,000

The Serpent Corporation makes 47,000 motors to be used in the production of its sewing machines. The average cost per motor at this level of activity is: Direct materials $ 10.60 Direct labor $ 9.60 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 4.00 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 4.95 An outside supplier recently began producing a comparable motor that could be used in the sewing machine. The price offered to SP Corporation for this motor is $27.25. If SP Corporation decides not to make the motors, there would be no other use for the production facilities and none of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost could be avoided. Direct labor is a variable cost in this company. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of making the motors rather than buying them from the outside supplier would be:

The manufacturing cost of 5,000 units of a commodity is as follows: Material: $20,000 Wages: $25,000 Chargeable Expenses: $400 Fixed Overheads: $16,000 Variable Overheads: $4,000 For manufacturing every 1,000 extra units of the commodity, the cost increases as follows: (i) Material proportionately (ii) Wages 10% less than proportionately (iii) Chargeable Expenses: Nil (iv) Fixed Overheads: $200 extra for every 1,000 units (v) Variable Expenses: 25% less than proportionately You are required to calculate the estimated cost of manufacturing 8,000 units of that commodity.
