PART B.
|1. Jetty Company produces a single product. The cost of producing and selling a single unit of this product at the company's normal activity |
|level of 70,000 units per month is as follows: |
| |
|Direct materials ........................ $29.60 |
|Direct labor ............................ 5.80 |
|Variable manufacturing overhead ......... 2.50 |
|Fixed manufacturing overhead ............ 17.20 |
|Variable selling & administrative expense 1.80 |
|Fixed selling & administrative expense .. 6.70 |
|The normal selling price of the product is $72.90 per unit. An order has been received from Alomo Corporation of Italy for 2,000 units to be|
|delivered during the current month at a special discounted price of $66.10 each. This order would have no effect on the company's normal |
|sales and would not change the total amount of the company's fixed costs. The variable selling and administrative expense would be $1.10 less|
|per unit on this order than on normal sales. Direct labor is a variable cost in this company. |
|Required: |
|a. Suppose there is ample idle capacity to produce the units required by the overseas should the order be accepted? By how much would this |
|special order increase (decrease) the company's net operating income for the month if it accepted? |
| |
| |
|b. Suppose there is not enough idle capacity to produce all of the units for the overseas customer and accepting the special order would |
|require cutting back on production of 1,300 units for regular customers. What is the minimum acceptable price per unit for the special order?|
2. Aholt Company makes 40,000 units per year of a part it uses in the products it manufactures. The unit product cost of this part is computed as follows:
Direct materials ................. $11.30
Direct labor ..................... 22.70
Variable manufacturing overhead .. 1.20
Fixed manufacturing overhead ..... 24.70
Unit product cost .............. $59.90
An outside supplier has offered to sell the company all of these parts it needs for $46.20 a unit. If the company accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to make the part could be used to make more units of a product that is in high demand. The additional contribution margin on this other product would be $264,000 per year.
$21.90 of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost being applied to the part would continue even if the part were purchased from the outside supplier. This fixed manufacturing overhead cost would be applied to the company's remaining products.
Required:
|How much of the unit product cost of $59.90 is relevant in the decision of whether to make or buy the part? |
| |
|What is the net total dollar advantage (disadvantage) of purchasing the part rather than making it? |
| |
|What is the maximum amount the company should be willing to pay an outside supplier per unit for the part if the supplier commits to supplying |
|all 40,000 units required each year? |
3. Consider the following production and cost data for two products, L and C:
Product L Product C
Maximum Demand per month 10,000 6,000
Contribution margin per unit ....... $130 $120
Machine set-ups needed per unit .... 10 set-ups 8 set-ups
The company can only perform 65,000 machine set-ups each month.
Required:
a. Determine optimum production levels of products L and C needed to maximize profits.
b. Determine the annual profit associated with this optimum output level if total fixed costs are $500,000 per month.
