Ardi Inc. is considering whether to continue to make a component or to buy it from an outside supplier. The company uses 13,200 of the components each year. The unit product cost of the component according to the company's cost accounting system is given as follows:

Direct materials $ 9.00
Direct labor 6.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 1.80
Fixed manufacturing overhead 3.80
Unit product cost $ 20.60

Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. Of the fixed manufacturing overhead, 25% is avoidable if the component were bought from the outside supplier. In addition, making the component uses 3 minutes on the machine that is the company's current constraint. If the component were bought, time would be freed up for use on another product that requires 6 minutes on this machine and that has a contribution margin of $5.40 per unit. When deciding whether to make or buy the component, what cost of making the component should be compared to the price of buying the component?

Annuity payments are assumed to come at the end of each payment period (termed an ordinary annuity). however, an exception occurs when the annuity payments come at the beginning of each period (termed an annuity due). what is the future value of a 13-year annuity of $2,800 per period where payments come at the beginning of each period? the interest rate is 9 percent. use appendix c for an approximate answer, but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods. to find the future value of an annuity due when using the appendix tables, add 1 to n and subtract 1 from the tabular value. for example, to find the future value of a $100 payment at the beginning of each period for five periods at 10 percent, go to appendix c for n = 6 and i = 10 percent. look up the value of 7.716 and subtract 1 from it for an answer of 6.716 or $671.60 ($100 × 6.716)

An employer who is considering hiring eva has asked donna, eva’s former supervisor, for a report on eva. in truth, eva’s work for donna has been only average. however, eva is donna’s friend, and donna knows that eva probably will not get the job if she says anything negative about eva, and donna knows that eva desperately needs the job. further, donna knows that if the situation were reversed, she would not want eva to mention her deficiencies. nevertheless, it has been donna’s policy to reveal the deficiencies of employees when she has been asked for references by employers, and she knows that some of eva’s faults may be bothersome to this particular employer. finally, this employer has leveled with donna in the past when donna has asked for a report on people who have worked for him. should donna reveal deficiencies in eva’s past performance? (remember to use one of the three moral theories acceptable for this test to solve this dilemma. any discussion of any personal opinion, religious perspective, or theory other than the moral theories acceptable for this test will result in a score of "0" for this question.)
