Details: Marginal Analysis 15

Costs relevant to an insourcing vs. outsourcing decision include variable manufacturing costs as well as

  1. Avoidable fixed costs.
  2. Factory depreciation.
  3. Property taxes.
  4. Factory management costs.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Relevant costs are anticipated costs that will vary among the choices available. If two courses of action share some costs, those costs are not relevant because they will be incurred regardless of the decision made. Relevant costs include fixed costs that could be avoided if the items were purchased from an outsider.




Details: Marginal Analysis 15

What is the opportunity cost of making a component part in a factory given no alternative use of the capacity?

  1. The variable manufacturing cost of the component.
  2. The total manufacturing cost of the component.
  3. The total variable cost of the component.
  4. Zero.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the benefit forgone by not selecting the best alternative use of scarce resources. The opportunity cost is zero when no alternative use is available.




Details: Marginal Analysis 15

In an insourcing vs. outsourcing situation, which of the following qualitative factors is usually considered?

  1. Special technology.
  2. Skilled labor.
  3. Special materials requirements.
  4. All of the answers are correct.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Special technology may be available either within or outside the firm that relates to the particular product. The firm may possess necessary skilled labor or the supplier may.
Special materials requirements may also affect the decision process because one supplier may have monopolized a key component. Another factor to be considered is that assurance of quality' control is often a reason for making rather than buying.




Details: Marginal Analysis 15

In an insourcing vs. outsourcing decision1 the decision process favors the use of total costs rather than unit costs. The reason is that

  1. Unit cost may be calculated based on different volumes.
  2. Irrelevant costs may be included in the unit amounts.
  3. Allocated costs may be included in the unit amounts.
  4. All of the answers are correct.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Unit costs should be used with extreme care. In each situation, they may be calculated based on a different volume level from that anticipated, so comparability may be lost. Irrelevant costs included in the unit cost should be disregarded; only relevant costs should be included in the analysis. Allocated costs should also be ignored, and only the relevant costs that will change with the option chosen should be considered.




Details: Marginal Analysis 15

Which of the following qualitative factors favors the buy choice in an insourcing vs.
outsourcing decision?

  1. Maintaining a long-run relationship with suppliers is desirable.
  2. Quality control is critical.
  3. Idle capacity is available.
  4. All of the answers are correct.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The maintenance of long-run relationships with suppliers may become paramount in a make-or-buy decision. Abandoning long-run supplier relationships may cause difficulty in obtaining needed parts when terminated suppliers find it advantageous not to supply parts in the future.

admin guide (windows) respond to malicious causality chains. when the cortex xdr agent identifies a remote network connection that attempts to perform malicious activity—such as encrypting endpoint files—the agent can automatically block the ip address to close all existing communication and block new connections from this ip address to the endpoint. when cortex xdrblocks an ip address per endpoint, that address remains blocked throughout all agent profiles and policies, including any host-firewall policy rules. you can view the list of all blocked ip addresses per endpoint from the action center, as well as unblock them to re-enable communication as appropriate. this module is supported with cortex xdr agent 7.3.0 and later. select the action mode to take when the cortex xdr agent detects remote malicious causality chains: enabled (default)—terminate connection and block ip address of the remote connection. disabled—do not block remote ip addresses. to allow specific and known s

question 35 has an answer for a different question. i believe the answer is "a" because it shut off the firewall. "0" in registry data means that its false (aka off).
