**Lakeside Inc. Cost Analysis for Outsourcing Conversion Process****Scenario:**Lakeside Inc. produces a product that currently sells for $82.80 per unit. The current production costs per unit are detailed below:- Direct materials: $23- Direct labor: $25- Variable overhead: $11.50- Fixed overhead: $11.50Product engineering has identified that a component of the product conversion process can be outsourced. Outsourcing the process will not affect raw material costs, but direct labor and variable overhead costs would be reduced by 30%. There is no alternative use for the unused production capacity.**Required Analysis:****a. Calculation of Net Cost Advantage or Disadvantage:**Determine the net cost advantage or disadvantage if Lakeside decides to outsource part of the conversion process at a cost of $9.20 per unit. (Final answer to be rounded to 2 decimal places)**b. Decision Making:**Evaluate whether Lakeside should outsource the part of the conversion process at a cost of $9.20 per unit:- Yes- NoBy analyzing these points, Lakeside Inc. can make an informed decision on the financial viability of outsourcing a part of their production process.

Given, Direct labor is $25 Variable overhead cost is $11.50 Both direct labor and variable overhead…

Lakeside Inc. produces a product that currently sells for $82.80 per unit. Current production costs per unit include direct materials, $23; direct labor, $25; variable overhead, $11.50; and fixed overhead, $11.50. Product engineering has determined that a certain part of the product conversion process could be outsourced. Raw material costs would not be affected, but direct labor and variable overhead costs would be reduced by 30%. No other opportunity is currently feasible for unused production capacity. Required: a. What would be the net cost advantage or disadvantage if Lakeview decided to outsource part of the conversion process at a cost of $9.20 per unit? (Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Carla Vista Company has decided to introduce a new product that can be manufactured by either a capital-intensive method or a labour-intensive method. The manufacturing method will not affect the quality of the product. The estimated manufacturing costs under the two methods are as follows: Capital-Intensive Labour-Intensive Direct materials $5.50 per unit $10.75 per unit Direct labour $4.00 per unit $9.00 per unit Variable overhead $3.50 per unit $7.25 per unit Fixed manufacturing costs $2,423,040 $1,488,000 Carla Vista's market research department has recommended an introductory unit sales price of $32. The incremental selling expenses are estimated to be $481,920 annually, plus $2 for each unit sold, regardless of the manufacturing method. (a) * Your answer is incorrect. Calculate the estimated break-even point in annual unit sales of the new product if Carla Vista Company uses (1) the capital- intensive manufacturing method, or (2) the labour-intensive manufacturing method.
Product BW of Blair Designs generates sales revenue of $40,000. The product incurs variable costs of goods sold of $22,000, fixed selling costs of $22,000, and fixed factory overhead of $21,000. Determine if Product BW should be continued or discontinued. Assume that the company will incur the fixed factory overhead regardless of the decision. Support your conclusion with numbers. The fixed selling cost is avoidable.

Diamond Computer Company has been purchasing carrying cases for its portable computers at a purchase price of $83 per unit. The company, which is currently operating below full capacity, charges factory overhead to production at the rate of 40% of direct labor cost. The fully absorbed unit costs to produce comparable carrying cases are expected to be as follows:
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. The total rent on the plant is $81,000…
Cox Electric makes electronic components and has estimated the following for a new design of one of its products: Fixed cost = $10,000 Material cost per unit = $ 0.15 Labor cost per unit = $ 0.10 Revenue per unit = $ 0.65 These data are given in the file CoxElectric. Note that fixed cost is incurred regardless of the amount produced. Per-unit material and labor cost together make up the variable cost per unit. Assuming Cox Electric sells all that it produces, profit is calculated by subtracting the fixed cost and total variable cost rom total revenue. Create a spreadsheet model and construct a 1-way table and determine the breakeven point (use intervals of 10,000 units). Group of answer choices 20,000 - 30,000 10,000 - 20,000 30,000 - 40,000 25,000 30,000 20,000
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 X Y Budgeted annual production (units) 15,000 24,000 20,000 $ per unit $ per unit $ per unit Direct…
