5. The materials purchasing manager purchased 11,000 units of component K2X from a new source at a price $20 below the standard unit price of $200. These components turned out to be of extremely poor quality with defects occurring at three times the standard rate of 6%. The higher rate of defects reduced the output of workers (who earn $12 per hour) from 20 units per hour to 16 units per hour on the units containing the discount components. Each finished unit contains one K2X component. To appease the workers (who were irate at having to work with inferior components), the production manager agreed to pay the workers an additional $0.50 for each of the components (good and bad) in the discount batch. Variable manufacturing overhead is applied at the rate of $6.00 per direct labor hour. The defective units als caused a 25 hour increase in total machine hours. The actual cost of electricity to run the machines is $2.00 per hour.

Futura Company purchases the 66,000 starters that it installs in its standard line of farm tractors from a supplier for the price of $10.50 per unit. Due to a reduction in output, the company now has idle capacity that could be used to produce the starters rather than buying them from an outside supplier. However, the company's chief engineer is opposed to making the starters because the production cost per unit is $11.40 as shown below: Direct materials Direct labor Supervision Depreciation Variable manufacturing overhead Rent Total product cost Per Unit $ 4.00 3.50 1.90 1.10 0.50 0.40 $11.40 Total $ 125,400 $ 72,600 $ 26,400 If Futura decides to make the starters, a supervisor would have to be hired (at a salary of $125,400) to oversee production. However, the company has sufficient idle tools and machinery such that no new equipment would have to be purchased. The rent charge above is based on space utilized in the plant. The total rent on the plant is $88,000 per period.…

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…

Wehrs Corporation has received a request for a special order of 9,800 units of product K19 for $47.50 each. The normal selling price of this product is $52.60 each, but the units would need to be modified slightly for the customer. The normal unit product cost of product K19 is computed as follows: Direct materials $18.30 Direct labor 7.60 Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead 4.80 7.70 Unit product cost $38.40 Direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company's total fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The customer would like some modifications made to product K19 that would increase the variable costs by $7.20 per unit and that would require a one-time investment of $47,000 in special molds that would have no salvage value. This special order would have no effect on the company's other sales. The company has ample spare capacity for producing the special order. Required: Determine the effect on the company's total net…
