Hawkins Audio Video, Inc. manufactures digital cameras. Hawkins is considering whether it should outsource production of a part used in the manufacturing of its cameras. 60,000 units of the part were made by Hawkins last year. At this production level, the company incurred the following direct product costs: Direct Materials $250,000 Direct Labor $104,000 Manufacturing Overhead incurred during the same period for production of the part is represented by the following cost behavior equation: y = $0.10x + $50,000. If the part were purchased from an outside supplier, 80% of the total fixed manufacturing overhead cost would continue, and 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 income from this other product would be $12,600 per year. A supplier has been identified who can sell the part to Hawkins at a price of $7.80 per unit. Which of…
Thompson Industrial Products Inc. (TIPI) is a diversified industrial-cleaner processing company. The company’s Dargan plant produces two products: a table cleaner and a floor cleaner from a common set of chemical inputs (CDG). Each week, 927,000 ounces of chemical input are processed at a cost of $212,100 into 618,000 ounces of floor cleaner and 309,000 ounces of table cleaner. The floor cleaner has no market value until it is converted into a polish with the trade name FloorShine. The additional processing costs for this conversion amount to $245,000.FloorShine sells at $18 per 30-ounce bottle. The table cleaner can be sold for $18 per 25-ounce bottle. However, the table cleaner can be converted into two other products by adding 309,000 ounces of another compound (TCP) to the 309,000 ounces of table cleaner. This joint process will yield 309,000 ounces each of table stain remover (TSR) and table polish (TP). The additional processing costs for this process amount to $109,000. Both…
A production manager finds that for every 1,000 units of output his company produces, 5.8% is defective (i.e. waste). If the production process of this company uses 40 units of material to produce 120 units of output, determine the quantity of material and the output level that will be required to produce 142,500 non-defective units. Use it to answer questions 48-52. 48. What is the number of defective units for every 1000 units of output? (a) 58 (b) 580 (c) 600 (d) 700 49.

Iraq Inc. makes recyclable pots for plants and uses JIT to manage inventories and production. The following are standards for a typical 1-gallon pot: Annual Material Standards 32 ounces of Component X* $0.02 2 ounces of Component Y * $0.05 $0.64 0.10 $0.74 Current Material Standards 27 ounces of Component X* $0.02 . 4 ounces of Component Y* $0.05 $0.54 0.20 $0.74 In-house experiments indicated that changing the material standard would make the pots stronger, so the company issued an engineering change order for the product in February; this ECO established the current material standards. March production was 8,000 pots. Usage of raw material (all purchased at standard price) in March was 220,000 ounces of Component X and 31,000 ounces of Component Y. Required: a.

The following data have been compiled for comparison of the two incinerators: If the firm's MARR is known to be 13%. determine the processing cost per tonof solid waste for each incinerator. Assume that incinerator B will be availablein the future at the same cost.
Moper Corporation manufactures three identifiable product lines, Products A, B, and C, from a basic processing operation. The cost of the basic operation is $320,000 for a yield of 5,000 tons of Product A; 2,000 tons of Product B; and 1,000 tons of Product C.

TufStuff, Inc., sells a wide range of drums, bins, boxes, and other containers that are used in the chemical industry. One of the company’s products is a heavy-duty corrosion-resistant metal drum, called the WVD drum, used to store toxic wastes. Production is constrained by the capacity of an automated welding machine that is used to make precision welds. A total of 2,000 hours of welding time is available annually on the machine. Because each drum requires 0.4 hours of welding machine time, annual production is limited to 5,000 drums. At present, the welding machine is used exclusively to make the WVD drums. The accounting department has provided the following financial data concerning the WVD drums: WVD Drums Selling price per drum $ 149.00 Cost per drum: Direct materials $52.10 Direct labor ($18 per hour) 3.60 Manufacturing overhead 4.50 Selling and administrative expense 29.80 90.00 Margin per drum $ 59.00 Management…
