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.

During the past quarter, the purchasing and delivery data for the two suppliers showed the following: Bacon 5,000 $ 182 40 Total purchases (cartons) Average purchase price (per carton) Number of deliveries Percentage of cartons delivered late. 30% Bacon Hessel Hessel 3,000 $198 20 15% The Accounting Department recorded $255,450 as the cost of late deliveries to customers.

(hint: GEM would not accept the order if it would reduce the company’s profit) (b) The company has 200 units of Flicks on hand that were produced two months ago. Due to blemishes on the units, it will be impossible to sell these units at the normal price. If the company wishes to sell them through regular sales channels, what would be the relevant cost for setting the minimum price? Explain.
