Magnificent Modems has excess production capacity and is considering the possibility of making and selling security tokens. The following estimates are based on a production and sales volume of 1,000 security tokens. Unit-level manufacturing costs are expected to be $20. Sales commissions will be established at $1 per unit. The current facility-level costs, including depreciation on manufacturing equipment ($60,000), rent on the manufacturing facility ($50,000), depreciation on the administrative equipment ($12,000), and other fixed administrative expenses ($71,950), will not be affected by the production of the security tokens. The chief accountant has decided to allocate the facility-level costs to the existing product (modems) and to the new product (security tokens) on the basis of the number of units of product made (i.e., 5,000 modems and 1,000 security tokens). Required a. Determine the per-unit cost of making and selling 1,000 security tokens. Note: Do not round intermediate…
Hoi Chong Transport, Ltd., operates a fleet of delivery trucks in Singapore. The company has determined that if a truck is driven 93,000 kilometers during a year, the average operating cost is 9.2 cents per kilometer. If a truck is driven only 62,000 kilometers during a year, the average operating cost increases to 9.9 cents per kilometer. Required: 1. Using the high-low method, estimate the variable operating cost per kilometer and the annual fixed operating cost associated with the fleet of trucks. 2. Express the variable and fixed costs in the form Y = a + bX. 3. If a truck were driven 77,500 kilometers during a year, what total operating cost would you expect to be incurred?
