Wood Chuck Furniture currently manufactures rocking chairs as its main product. Each chair uses one seat cushion and one back cushion with the following costs per set of cushions (one seat and one back): Direct materials $ 1 Direct labor 10 Variable overhead 5 Fixed overhead 8 Total $ 24 Shepert Company has contacted Wood Chuck with an offer to sell it 5,000 sets of cushions for $18 each. If Wood Chuck buys the cushions, $2 of the fixed overhead per unit will be allocated to other products. Should Wood Chuck make or buy the cushions

Yes buy the cushions

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

= Manufacturing cost - purchase cost

where,

Manufacturing cost is

= Direct materials + direct labor + variable overhead cost + fixed overhead cost

= $1 + $10 + $5 + $6

= $22

The fixed overhead cost is

= $8 - $2

= $6

And, Purchase cost is  $18

Savings cost is

= $22 - $18

= $4 per set

And, the number of sets is 4,000 cushion sets

So, total amount saved is

= 5,000 cushion sets ×$4 per set

= $20,000

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.

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.'
