McMurphy Corporation produces a part that is used in the manufacture of one of its products. The costs associated with the production of 12,000 units of this part are as follows: Direct materials $86,000 Direct labor 126,000 Variable factory overhead 58,000 Fixed factory overhead 138,000 Total costs 408,000 Of the fixed factory overhead costs, $55,000 is avoidable. Conners Company has offered to sell 12,000 units of the same part to McMurphy Corporation for $41 per unit. Assuming there is no other use for the facilities, Schmidt should . Group of answer choices buy the part, as this would save the company $192,000 buy the part, as this would save $16 per unit make the part, as this would save almost $14 per unit make the part, as this would save $16 per unit

make the part, as this would save almost $14 per unit

Explanation:

We have to compare the total cost to make against the total cost to buy 12,000 units.

Total Cost to Make

Direct materials                                  $86,000

Direct labor                                        $126,000

Variable factory overhead                $58,000

Fixed factory overhead                     $55,000

Total Cost                                          $325,000

Total Cost to buy

Purchase Price = $41 x 12,000 units = $492,000

Difference

Financial Advantage = Total Cost to buy - Total Cost to Make

                                   =  $492,000 - $325,000

                                   = $167,000

Conclusion :

Schmidt should make the part, as this would save almost $14 per unit

answer: in the short-run firms will respond by raising the price of turkey.

explanation: initially the long-run equilibrium is at a price of $5 per pound of turkey and a quantity of 50 million pounds per year. now, when webmd claims that a protein found in turkey will increase your expected lifespan by 4 years. the consumers demand for turkey will increase at every price shifting the demand curve to the right from d1 to d2. while, there will be no change in the supply curve in the short-run as it is not possible for producers to adjust supply so quickly. as a result the new equilibrium will occur at a higher price and a higher quantity of turkey.

thus, in the short run firms will respond by increasing the price of turkey, selling more quantity at a higher price and earning economic profits.
