ABC Company makes 40,000 units per year of a part it uses in the
products it manufactures. The per unit product cost of this part
is shown below:

direct materials .............. $15.30
direct labor .................. 24.70
variable overhead ............. 2.10
fixed overhead ................ 27.40
total ......................... $69.50

An outside supplier has offered to sell ABC Company 40,000 units
of this part a year for $66.10 per unit. If ABC Company accepts
this offer, the facilities now being used to make this part could
be used to make more units of a product that is in high demand.
The additional contribution margin that could be earned on this
other product would be $100,000 per year.

If ABC Company accepts the outside supplier's offer, $21.90 of the
fixed overhead cost being applied to the part would be eliminated.
The remaining amount would continue to be incurred and would be
allocated to the company's remaining products.

Calculate the selling price per unit charged by the outside
supplier that would make ABC Company economically indifferent
between making and buying the part.

In the current tax year, IRS, the internal revenue service of the United States, estimates that five persons of the many high network individual tax returns would be fraudulent. That is, they will contain errors that are purposely made to cheat the government. Although these errors are often well concealed, let us suppose that a thorough IRS audit will uncover them.

Given this information, if a random sample of 100 such tax returns are audited, what is the probability that exactly five fraudulent returns will be uncovered? Here, the number of trials is n=100. And p=0.05 is the probability of a tax return will be fraudulent. Answer the following questions.

  1. What is the probability that five fraudulent returns will be uncovered based on 100 IRS audits ? (n=100, p=0.05)
  2. If a random sample of 250 high net worth tax returns are audited, what is the probability that the IRS will uncover at least 15 fraudulent errors? (n=250 and P= 0.05)
  3. If a random sample of 250 high net worth tax returns are audited, what is the probability that the IRS would uncover at least 15 fraudulent returns but at most 20 fraudulent returns? (n=250 and P= 0.05)
  4. What is the probability that out of the 250 randomly selected high net worth tax returns no fraudulent return is uncovered? (n=250 and P= 0.05)
  5. Aside from the ethics of tax fraud and based solely on your answers to questions 1-4, do you think it would be advisable to cheat on your tax return? Do you need more information to decide? What type of information?
