A company manufactures various sized plastic bottles for its medicinal product. The manufacturing cost for small bottles is $67 per unit (100 bottles), including fixed costs of $22 per unit. A proposal is offered to purchase small bottles from an outside source for $35 per unit, plus $5 per unit for freight. Prepare a differential analysis dated March 30 to determine whether the company should make (Alternative 1) or buy (Alternative 2) the bottles, assuming that fixed costs are unaffected by the decision. If an amount is zero, enter "0". For those boxes in which you must enter subtracted or negative numbers use a minus sign.

The company should buy from an outside source rahter than manufacturing because each bottle manufactured costs $5 more.

Explanation:

Differential Analysis

                                                          Make            Buy

Manufacturing Cost per bottle         $ 67

Purchasing Cost per bottle                                  $35

Freight per bottle                                                  $ 5

Fixed Costs                                                            $ 22  

Total                                                   $ 67              $62  

The company should buy the bottles from the  outside source because the manufacturing costs are higher than the purchasing costs and the fixed costs.

The fixed costs are the irrelevant costs that will continue whether bottles are manufactured or purchased.

true basically. have an awesome day ya'll.

answer: marginal utility of the fourth brownie is 0.

explanation: marginal utility is the addtional utility gained from the consumption of one more unit of a good. it is given by,

so, marginal utility at the 4th unit will be given by

since, the values are not given here, you can simply find marginal utility at fourth unit by subtracting total utility at 3rd unit from total utility at 4th unit.
