A company produces 300 microwave ovens per month, each of which includes one electrical circuit. The company currently manufactures the circuit in-house but is considering outsourcing the circuits at a contract cost of $34 each. Currently, the cost of producing circuits in-house includes variable costs of $28 per circuit and fixed costs of $6,000 per month. The controller says that they should outsource production of the circuit, if it reduces fixed cost more than $1,800 per month. Is this statement true or false?

True

Explanation:

There is 300 production per month

Contract cost = 34

Variable cost = 28

Fixed cost per month per unit = 6000/300=$20

total in house cost / unit 48

=300* (48-34) =$ 4200.

Outsourcing of production by the of the circuit by the controller if it reduces fixed cost more than $1,800 per month is true

True

Explanation:

Monthly production = 300

Outsource rate = 34

In house cost = 28

Fixed cost /unit = 6000/300=20

total in house cost / unit 48

Saving on outsourcing = (48-34) *300 = 4200.

On outsourcing , fixed cost on the circuit is totally removed

it's obviously d. it could be c though.

of the three mortgage options that demarco and tanya have to choose from, the balloon payment mortgage would be their best option, over adjustable payment and fixed payment plans.ultimately, the balloon payment plan would save demarco and tanya overall, in interest, would cost less monthly, and they would only have to make these payments for 8 years, opposing to 30 years for adjustable or fixed payment plans. 

overall, demarco and tanya would save $80,811 if they chose balloon payments over fixed payments, and would save $116,711 if they choose balloon payments over adjustable payments. benefits with choosing fixed payments over adjustable payments is that, in the end, the payments will still be $836.30 a month, while with adjustable payments, the initial monthly payments will be $763.38 to $1082.70 a month, ultimately leading to a more costly purchase. benefits with choosing fixed payments over balloon payments are not present. benefits in choosing adjustable payments over is that it has a lower interest rate, and starts with lower monthly payments initially. benefits in choosing adjustable payments over balloon payments include a lower interest rate, and lower initial monthly payments. benefits in choosing balloon payments over fixed payments include lower interest rates, lower overall price, lower monthly payments, takes less time to pay off, and does not require a downpayment. benefits in choosing balloon payments over adjustable payments include, lower monthly payments (when averaged), takes less time to pay off, and lower overall price.
