Old camp company manufactures awnings for its own line of tents. the company is currently operating at capacity and has received an offer from one of its suppliers to make the 12,000 awnings it needs for $25 each. old camp’s costs to make the awning are $12 in direct materials and $7 in direct labor. variable manufacturing overhead is 70 percent of direct labor. if old camp accepts the offer, $42,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead currently being charged to the awnings will have to be absorbed by other product lines.

It is more convenient to continue the production in house.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The company is currently operating at capacity and has received an offer from one of its suppliers to make the 12,000 awnings it needs for $25 each. Old Camp’s costs to make the awning are $12 in direct materials and $7 in direct labor. Variable manufacturing overhead is 70 percent of direct labor. If Old Camp accepts the offer, $42,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead currently being charged to the awnings will have to be absorbed by other product lines.

Make in house:

Variable costs= 12 + 7 + (7*0.70)= $23.9

Total variable costs= 23.9*12000= 286,800

Buy= 25*12,000= $300,000

It is more convenient to continue the production in house.

ans.

heterothermic organisms include those organisms that can switch between homeothermic (having body temperature higher than environment) and poikilothermic (having variation in internal body temperature) strategies.

some migratory birds show heterothermy as they decrease their metabolic rate during cold nights to keep their body temperature low. drop in metabolic rate allows increase in production efficiency of birds that reduces the internal body temperature to make it equal to external cold temperature during cold nights.

thus, the correct answer is 'birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.'

forbearance of student loan payments. under forbearance, your loan payments are postponed (or reduced) but interest continues to accrue during the period of forbearance. if you don't pay the interest during that period, the interest may be “capitalized,” which means it is added to your principal balance.
