Q2 Tool Industries manufactures large workbenches for industrial use. Sam Hartnet, the Vice President for marketing at Tool Industries, concluded from market analysis that sales were dwindling for Tool's workbenches due to aggressive pricing by competitors. Tool's workbench sells for $2,040 whereas the competition's comparable workbench sells for $1,780. Sam determined that a price drop to $1,780 would be necessary to protect its market share and maintain an annual sales level of 14,800 workbenches. Cost data based on sales of 14,800 workbenches: Budgeted Quantity Actual Quantity Actual Cost Direct materials (pounds) 184,000 177,000 $ 3,459,000 Direct labor (hours) 76,400 76,000 829,500 Machine setups (number of setups) 1,800 1,240 259,000 Mechanical assembly (machine hours) 33,600 285,750 3,768,000 The current cost per unit is (rounded to the nearest whole dollar): Multiple Choice $448. $390. $513. $562. $370.
A study has been conducted to determine if Product A should be dropped. Sales of the product total $500,000; variable expenses total $340,000. Fixed expenses charged to the product total $210,000. The company estimates that $60,000 of these fixed expenses are not avoidable even if the product is dropped. If Product A is dropped, the annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company of eliminating this product should be: Multiple Choice ($10,000) $10,000 ($50,000) $50,000 Next
Current Attempt in Progress Pottery Ranch Inc. has been manufacturing its own finials for its curtain rods. The company is currently operating at 100% of capacity, and variable manufacturing overhead is charged to production at the rate of 66% of direct labor cost. The direct materials and direct labor cost per unit to make a pair of finials are $4 and $5, respectively. Normal production is 34,300 curtain rods per year. A supplier offers to make a pair of finials at a price of $13.05 per unit. If Pottery Ranch accepts the supplier's offer, all variable manufacturing costs will be eliminated, but the $45,700 of fixed manufacturing overhead currently being charged to the finials will have to be absorbed by other products. (a) Prepare the incremental analysis for the decision to make or buy the finials. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)
