Respuesta :

Answer:

Bramble Corp.

Unit price at which Bramble would accept the outside supplier's offer

= $14.40

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations;

Production capacity in units = 100,000

Variable costs =      $600,000

Fixed costs =             900,000

Total costs =         $1,500,000

Target net income    140,000

Total revenue =   $1,640,000

Alternative income (200,000)

Differential revenue $1,440,000 ($1,640,000 - $200,000)

Unit price at which Bramble would accept the outside supplier's offer =

$14.40 ($1,440,000/100,000)
