Chang Industries has 1,500 defective units of product that already cost $44 each to produce. A salvage company will purchase the defective units as is for $20 each. Chang's production manager reports that the defects can be corrected for $36 per unit, enabling them to be sold at their regular market price of $36. The $44 per unit is a: Multiple Choice Period cost. Sunk cost. Opportunity cost. Out-of-pocket cost. Incremental cost.

A company is considering two alternatives with the following costs: Alternative 1 Alternative 2Material costs$87,000 $87,000 Utilities costs$45,000 $44,100 Review costs$41,000 $44,100 Direct labor costs$51,000 $51,000 Identify the costs that are relevant and the costs that are not relevant, given the choice of alternatives. Calculate the differential cost between the alternatives.
What are the fixed overhead costs of making the component?
DK manufactures three products, W, X and Y. Each product uses the same materials and the same type of direct labour but in different quantities. The company currently uses a cost plus basis to determine the selling price of its products. This is based on full cost using an overhead absorption rate per direct labour hour. However, the managing director is concerned that the company may be losing sales because of its approach to setting prices. He thinks that a marginal costing approach may be more appropriate, particularly since the workforce is guaranteed a minimum weekly wage and has a three month notice period. Required: a) Given the managing director's concern about DK's approach to setting selling prices, discuss the advantages and disadvantages of marginal cost plus pricing AND total cost-plus pricing. The direct costs of the three products are shown below: Product W Y Budgeted annual production (units) 15,000 24,000 20,000 $ per unit $ per unit $ per unit Direct materials 35 40…
Harmony is currently producing 100 units of a necessary component part by incurring P60,000 in direct materials, P12,500 in direct labor, P22,500 in variable overhead, and P15,000 in fixed overhead. Harmony can purchase the component externally for P95,000 and only P2,500 of fixed manufacturing costs cannot be avoided (the rest are avoidable). How much savings will Harmony realize in buying instead of making the component?
Grace Co. can further process Product B to produce Product C. Product B is currently selling for $24 per pound and costs $16 per pound to produce. Product C would sell for $39 per pound and would require an additional cost of $9 per pound to produce. What is the differential revenue of producing and selling Product C? a.$23 per pound b.$39 per pound c.$30 per pound d.$15 per pound
Company E has two divisions, Division A and Division B. Division A is currently buying Component X from an external seller for $13. Division B produces Component X and has excess capacity. Using the following data, what would the transfer price per unit if Division A purchased Component X from Division B at the cost-based transfer price? Variable cost per unit $6.31 Fixed cost per unit 1.36 Division B sales price of Component X 14.5
Tamarisk Manufacturing incurs unit costs of $7.20 ($5.20 variable and $2.00 fixed) in making a sub-assembly part for its finished product. A supplier offers to make 17,200 of the parts for $5.70 per unit. If it accepts the offer, Tamarisk will save all variable costs and $1.00 of fixed costs. Prepare an analysis showing the total cost savings, if any, that Tamarisk will realize by buying the part. (Round per unit answers to 2 decimal places, eg. 15.25. If an amount reduces the net income then enter with a negative sign preceding the number, e.g.-15,000 or parenthesis, e.g. (15,000).)
Company E has two divisions, Division A and Division B. Division A is currently buying Component X from an external seller for $12. Division B produces Component X and has excess capacity. Using the following data, what would the transfer price per unit if Division A purchased Component X from Division B at the cost-based transfer price? Variable cost per unit $7.48 • Fixed cost per unit 1.97 • Division B sales price of Component X 14.50
Voltaic Electronics uses a standard part in the manufacture of different types of radios. The total cost of producing 36,000 parts is $110,000, which includes fixed costs of $50,000 and variable costs of $60,000. The company can buy the part from an outside supplier for $1 per unit and avoid 30% of the fixed costs. Assume that the company can use the freed manufacturing space to make another product that can earn a profit of $16,000. If Voltaic outsources, what will be the effect on operating income?
Yasmin Co. can further process Product B to produce Product C. Product B is currently selling for $32 per pound and costs $29 per pound to produce. Product C would sell for $61 per pound and would require an additional cost of $23 per pound to produce. What is the differential cost of producing Product C? a. $32 per pound b. $29 per pound c. $61 per pound d. $23 per pound
A manager is trying to decide whether to purchase a certain part or to have it produce internally. Internal production could use either of two processes. One would entail a variable cost of P17 per unit and an annual fixed cost of P200,000, the other would entail a variable cost of P14 per unit and an annual fixed cost of 240,000. Three vendors are willing to provide the part. Vendor A has a price of P20 per unit for any volume up to 30,000 units. Vendor B has a price of P22 per unit for demand of 1,000 units less, and P18 per unit for larger quantities. Vendor C offers a price of P21 per unit for the first 1,000 units, and P19 per unit for additional units. Required: If the manager anticipates an annual volume of 10,000 units, which alternative would be best from a cost standpoint?
