What are the fixed overhead costs of making the component?
Division X makes a part with the following characteristics: Production capacity 25,000 units Selling price to outside customers $18 Variable cost per unit $11 Fixed costs, total $100,000 Division Y of the same company would like to purchase 10,000 units each period from Division X. Division Y now purchases the part from an outside supplier at a price of $17 each. Suppose Division X has sufficient excess capacity to handle all of Division Y's needs without any increase in fixed costs and without cutting into sales to outside customers. If Division X refuses to accept the $17 price internally and Division Y continues to buy from the outside supplier, the company as a whole will be: better off by $60,000 each period. O worse off by $60,000 each period. worse off by $70,000 each period. better off by $10,000 each period. worse off by $20,000 each period. O O O O <

Division A has the capacity to produce 120,000 units. The normal selling price of each unit is P80. The variable cost incurred for each unit is P42. Total direct fixed cost for the relevant range is P1,150,000. Division B can use the products of Division A as an input in its manufacturing process but is currently acquiring the said products from an outside supplier. The price per unit is P75. Total annual demand is 30,000 units. 1. Assuming sufficient capacity, what is the minimum acceptable transfer price to Division A? 2. Assuming only 22,500 excess capacity, what is the minimum acceptable transfer price to Division A? 3. Assuming no excess capacity, what is the minimum acceptable transfer price to Division A? 4. What is the maximum acceptable transfer price to Division B?
Suppose that a manufacturer can produce a part for $11.00 with a fixed cost of $7,000. Alternately, the manufacturer could contract with a supplier in Asia to purchase the part at a cost of $13.00, which includes transportation. a. If the anticipated production volume is 1,300 units, compute the total cost of manufacturing and the total cost of outsourcing. b. What is the best decision? a. The total cost of manufacturing is $.
An industrial product can be manufactured by two different methods of production. Using Method X, fixed costs are RM455,000 and variable costs are RM15 per product. Using Method Y, fixed costs are RM395,000 and variable costs are RM21 per product. At what volume of output, would the two methods incur the same costs. O 23,610 units O 10,000 units O 15,000 units O 16,600 units
