Cypress Inc. manufactures wooden canoes. Cypress normally sells the canoes for $2,700 per unit. A major distributor has offered to buy 1,000 units at a reduced price. At its budgeted annual production level of 18,000 units, Cypress' per-unit manufacturing costs are as follows: Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead $950 $200 $330 $450 Cypress would have to produce the special order on an overtime shift, which would increase the direct labor costs to $300 per unit. The special order would not impact Cypress' fixed costs. However, if Cypress accepts the special order, it will also incur $60,000 in additional, one-time costs in connection with the order. What is the minimum per-unit selling price that Cypress must charge to break even on the special order? Round to the nearest whole dollar and do not enter a dollar sign or a decimal point (e.g., enter 89, not $89.00).
Scootz could sell its scooters to retailers either assembled or unassembled. The cost of an unassembled scooters is as follows. Direct materials $150 Direct labor 70 Variable overhead (0.70 of direct labor) 49 Fixed overhead (0.30 of direct labor) 21 Manufacturing cost per unit $290 The unassembled scooters are sold to retailers at $450 each. Scootz currently has unused productive capacity that is expected to continue indefinitely; management has concluded that some of this capacity can be used to assemble the scooters and sell them at $495 each. Assembling the scooters will increase direct materials by $5 per scooter, and direct labor by $10 per scooter. Additional variable overhead will be incurred at the normal rates, but there will be no additional fixed overhead as a result of assembling the scooters. You are required to: (a) Prepare an incremental analysis for the sell-or-process-further decision. (b) Should Speedy sell unassembled or process further?
