A company produces 300 microwave ovens per montn, each of WNich inciudes one electrical circuit. The company currently manufactures the circuit in - house but is considering outsourcing the circuits at a contract cost of $48 each. Currently, the cost of producing circuits in - house includes variable costs of $26 per circuit and fixed costs of $5,000 per month. Assume the company could not reduce any fixed costs by outsourcing and that there is no alternative use for the facilities presently being used to make circuits. If the company outsources, operating income will:

Wilma Company must decide whether to make or buy some of its components. The costs of producing 60,000 switches for its generators are as follows. Direct materials $30,000 Variable overhead $45,000 Direct labor $42,000 Fixed overhead $60,000 Instead of making the switches at an average cost of $2.95 ($177,000 ÷ 60,000), the company has an opportunity to buy the switches at $2.7 per unit. If the company purchases the switches, all the variable costs and one-fourth of the fixed costs will be eliminated. (a) Prepare an incremental analysis showing whether the company should make or buy the switches. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)

Barkov Industries makes an electronic component in two departments, Machining and Assembly. The capacity per month is 60,000 units in the Machining Department and 50,000 units in the Assembly Department. The only variable cost of the product is direct material of $200 per unit. All direct material cost is incurred in the Machining Department. All other costs of operating the two departments are fixed costs. Barkov can sell as many units of this electronic component as it produces at a selling price of $500 per unit. Required: Barkov’s Machining managers believe that they could increase the capacity in their department by 10,000 units, if they were able to increase fixed costs by $100,000. Should the money be spent? Explain. An outside contractor offers to do assembly for 10,000 units at a cost of $2,000,000. Should Barkov accept the offer from the subcontractor? Show calculations. How do your answers in parts (a) and (b) relate to the theory of constraints? Explain.
Futura Company purchases the 66,000 starters that it installs in its standard line of farm tractors from a supplier for the price of $12.10 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 $13.10 as shown below: Direct materials. Direct labor Supervision Depreciation Variable manufacturing overhead Rent Total product cost Per Unit $ 7.00 2.20 1.80 1.20 0.40 0.50 $ 13.10 Total $ 118,800 $ 79,200 $ 33,000 If Futura decides to make the starters, a supervisor would have to be hired (at a salary of $118,800) 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 and can't be avoided. The total rent on the plant is $81,000…
Wings Incorporated manufactures machine parts for aircraft engines. The CEO, Chucky Valters, was considering an offer from a subcontractor that would provide 2,400 units of product PQ107 for Valters for a price of $150,000. If Wings does not purchase these parts from the subcontractor it must produce them in-house with the following unit costs: Direct materials Direct labor Variable overhead Cost per Unit $31 19 8 In addition to the above costs, if Wings produces part PQ107, it would have a retooling and design cost of $9,800. The relevant costs of producing 2,400 units of product PQ107 internally are:
The Slate Company manufactures and sells television sets. Its assembly division (AD) buys television screens from the screen division (SD) and assembles the TV sets. The SD, which is operating at capacity, incurs an incremental manufacturing cost of $65 per screen. The SD can sell all its output to the outside market at a price of $100 per screen, after incurring a variable marketing and distribution cost of $8 per screen. If the AD purchases screens from outside suppliers at a price of $100 per screen, it will incur a variable purchasing cost of $7 per screen. Slate’s division managers can act autonomously to maximize their own division’s operating income. Q. Now suppose that the SD can sell only 70% of its output capacity of 20,000 screens per month on the open market. Capacity cannot be reduced in the short run. The AD can assemble and sell more than 20,000 TV sets per month. a. From the point of view of Slate’s management, how much of the SD output should be transferred to the AD?
Lightning Semiconductors produces 100,000 hi – tech computer chips per month. Each chip uses a component that Lightning makes in - house. The variable costs to make the component are $1.40 per unit, and the fixed costs are $1,300,000 per month. The company has been approached by a foreign producer who can supply the component, within acceptable quality standards, for $1.20 each. The fixed costs are unavoidable, and Lightning would have no other use for the facilities currently employed in making the component. What would be the effect on operating income if the company decides to outsource? O A. Lightning Semiconductors could save $1,300,000 per month in costs. B. There would be no effect on operating income. O c. Lightning Semiconductor's costs would increase by $120,000 per month. O D. Lightning Semiconductors could save $20,000 per month in costs.

A distributor of fasteners is opening a new plant and considering whether to use a mechanized process or a manual process to package the product. The manual process will have a fixed cost of $36,234 and a variable cost of $2.14 per bag. The mechanized process would have a fixed cost of $84,420 and a variable cost of $1.85 per bag. The company expects to sell each bag of fasteners for $2.75. a) What is the break-even point for the manual process (in units)? b) What is the break-even point for the mechanized process (in units)? c) A point of indifference for two processes is quantity at which each process generates the same amount of profit (review video). What is the point of indifference for the two processes? (Hint: 1) Use equations to set profit of manual process equal to mechanized process and solve for quantity; 2) (Excel) If you have a break-even for each process - have only one cell that represents quantity that be used to calculates costs/revenues for each process and use Goal…
Corrigan Enterprises is studying the acquisition of two electrical component insertion systems for producing its sole product, the universal gismo. Data relevant to the systems follow. Model number 6754: Variable costs, $16.00 per unit Annual fixed costs, $986,300 Model number 4399: Variable costs, $11.80 per unit Annual fixed costs, $1,114,300 Corrigan's selling price is $66 per unit for the universal gismo, which is subject to a 15 percent sales commission. (In the following requirements, ignore income taxes.) 2-a. Calculate the net income of the two systems if sales and production are expected to average 63,400 units per year.

Bramble Corp. incurs the following costs to produce 12000 units of a subcomponent: Direct materials $8400 Direct labor 12000 Variable overhead 12000 Fixed overhead 19000 An outside supplier has offered to sell Bramble the subcomponent for $2.15 a unit. No fixed costs are avoidable. If Bramble accepts the offer, it could use the production capacity to produce another product that would generate additional income of $3600. The increase (decrease) in net income from accepting the offer would be O $(3600). $10200. O $(3000). O $3000.
