Consider each question separately. 4. Due to a strike in its supplier's plant, Andretti Company is unable to purchase more materials for the production of Daks. The strike is expected to last for two months. Andretti Company has enough materials on hand to continue to operate at 30% of normal levels for the twomonth period. As an alternative, Andretti could close its plant down entirely for the two months. If the plant were closed, all fixed costs would continue at 50% of their normal level during the two-month period. What would be the dollar advantage or disadvantage of closing the plant for the twomonth period? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) at advantage $ 50,365 5. An outside manufacturer has offered to produce Daks for Andretti Company and to ship them directly to Andretti's customers. If Andretti Company accepts this offer, the facilities that it uses to produce Daks would be idle; however, fixed overhead costs would be reduced by 75% of their present level. Since the outside manufacturer would pay all the costs of shipping, the variable selling costs would be only two- thirds of their present amount. Compute the unit cost figure relevant for comparison to whatever quoted price is received from the outside manufacturer. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
