Since Product XT is manufactured and marketed independently of the other products, its total costs can be precisely measured. Next year’s plans call for a $200 selling price per 100 yards of XT rope. Its fixed costs for the year are expected to be $270,000, up to a maximum capacity of 700,000 yards of rope. Forecasted variable costs are $140 per 100 yards of XT rope.RequiredEstimate Product XT’s break-even point in terms of (a) sales units and (b) sales dollars.Check (1a) Break-even sales, 4,500 unitsPrepare a contribution margin income statement showing sales, variable costs, and fixed costs for Product XT at the break-even point.

NUBD Manufacturing is considering dropping a product line. It currently produces a multipurpose woodworking clamp in a simple manufacturing process that uses special equipment. Variable costs amount to P6.00 per unit. Fixed factory overhead costs, exclusive of depreciation, have been allocated to this product at a rate of P3.50 a unit and will continue whether or not production ceases. Depreciation on the special equipment amounts to P20,000 a year. If production of the clamp is stopped, the special equipment can be sold for P30,000; if production continues, however, the equipment will be useless for further production at the end of one year and will have no salvage value. The clamp has a unit sales price of P10. Ignoring income tax effects, the minimum number of units that would have to be sold in the current year to make it worthwhile to keep the equipment (on a cash-flow basis) is:

Peggy Lane Corp., a producer of machine tools, wants to move to a larger site. Two alternative locations have been identified: Bonham and McKinney. Bonham would have fixed costs of $800,000 per year and variable costs of $14,000 per standard unit produced. McKinney would have annual fixed costs of $940,000 and variable costs of $12,800 per standard unit. The finished items sell for $28,000 each. a) The volume of output at which both the locations have the same profit = standard units (round your response to the nearest whole number). b) Básed on the analysis of the volume, after rounding the numbers to the nearest whole number, Bonham is superior below standard units. c) Based on the analysis of the volume, after rounding the numbers to the nearest whole number, McKinney is superior above standard units. d) The break-even point for Bonham is units. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.)

“In my opinion, we ought to stop making our own drums and accept that outside supplier’s offer,” said Wim Niewindt, managing director of Antilles Refining, N.V., of Aruba. “At a price of $20 per drum, we would be paying $5.45 less than it costs us to manufacture the drums in our own plant. Since we use 80,000 drums a year, that would be an annual cost savings of $436,000.” Antilles Refining’s current cost to manufacture one drum is given below (based on 80,000 drums per year): Direct materials $ 12.00 Direct labor 6.50 Variable overhead 1.50 Fixed overhead ($2.90 general company overhead, $1.80 depreciation, and $0.75 supervision) 5.45 Total cost per drum $ 25.45 A decision about whether to make or buy the drums is especially important at this time because the equipment being used to make the drums is completely worn out and must be replaced. The choices facing the company are: Alternative 1: Rent new equipment and continue to make the drums. The equipment would be…
