Ayayai Company's Small Motor Division manufactures a number of small motors used in household and office appliances. The Household Division of Ayayai then assembles and packages such items as blenders and juicers. Both divisions are free to buy and sell any of their components internally or externally. The following costs relate to small motor LN233 on a per unit basis. Unit fixed cost Unit variable cost Unit selling price (a) $7 10 34 Assuming that the Small Motor Division has excess capacity, compute the minimum acceptable price for the transfer of small motor LN233 to the Household Division. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50.) Minimum transfer price. per unit
Easy Fit Ltd. manufactures heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment. The Manufacturing Division creates parts; and, the Assembly Division builds and sells the equipment. The Manufacturing Division "sells" furnace parts packages to the Assembly Division. The market price for the Assembly Division to purchase a mini furnace is $3,500. The fixed costs for the Manufacturing Division are assumed to be the same over the range of 2,000-5,000 units. The fixed costs for the Assembly Division are assumed to be $40.00 per unit at 5,000 units. Manufacturing costs per furnace are: $1,300.00 $350.00 $100.00 Direct materials Direct labour Variable overhead Division fixed costs $90.00 Assembly's costs per completed furnace are: $25.00 $150.00 $50.00 $40.00 Direct materials Direct labour Variable overhead Division fixed costs If the Assembly Division sells 1,000 furnaces at a price of $3,500 per unit to customers, what is the company's operating income? $1,660,000 $3,250,000 $175,000…
Pharoah International Corporation has two divisions, beta and gamma. Beta produces an electronic component that sells for $75 per unit, with the following costs based on its capacity of 217,600 units: Direct materials Direct labour $23 18 Variable overhead 4 Fixed overhead 11 Beta is operating at 79% of normal capacity and gamma is purchasing 17,000 units of the same component from an outside supplier for $69 per unit. (a) Your Answer Correct Answer (Used) Calculate the benefit, if any, to beta in selling to gamma 17,000 units at the outside supplier's price. Benefit $ 24 per unit Calculate the lowest price beta would be willing to accept. Lowest price $
Barkov Industries makes an electronic component in two departments, Machining and Assembly. The capacity per month is 60,000 units in the Machining Department and 50,000 units in the Assembly Department. The only variable cost of the product is direct material of $200 per unit. All direct material cost is incurred in the Machining Department. All other costs of operating the two departments are fixed costs. Barkov can sell as many units of this electronic component as it produces at a selling price of $500 per unit. Required: Barkov’s Machining managers believe that they could increase the capacity in their department by 10,000 units, if they were able to increase fixed costs by $100,000. Should the money be spent? Explain. An outside contractor offers to do assembly for 10,000 units at a cost of $2,000,000. Should Barkov accept the offer from the subcontractor? Show calculations. How do your answers in parts (a) and (b) relate to the theory of constraints? Explain.
M4 Engineering has two divisions, the Fabrication Division and the Airplane Division. The Airplane Division may purchase engine mounting clamps from the Fabrication Division or from outside suppliers. The Fabrication Division sells engine mounting clamps both internally and externally. The market price for is $5,000 per 100 mounting clamps. The following conversation took place between the controllers of the Fabrication Division and Airplane Division: • Airplane Division: I hear you are having problems selling mounting clamps out of your division. Maybe I can help. • Fabrication Division: You've got that right. We're producing and selling at about 90% of our capacity to outsiders. Last year we were selling 100% of capacity. Would it be possible for your division to pick up some of our excess capacity? After all, we are part of the same company. • Airplane Division: What kind of price could you give me? • Fabrication Division: Well, you know as well as I that we are under strict profit…
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
Paul's Pumps manufactures three different product lines: Model A, Model B, and Model C. Plenty of market demand exists for all models.The table below reports the prices and costs per unit of each product. Model A Model B Model C Selling price $50 $60 $70 Direct materials costs $6 $6 $ 6 Direct labor costs ($12 per labor hour) $12 $12 $24 Variable support costs ($4 per machine hour) $4 $8 $8 Fixed support costs $10 $10 $10 Assuming that machine hours are limited (i.e., this is the constrained resource), which model is the most profitable to produce? Select one: a. Model B X b. Model A and B would be equally profitable c. Model A d. Model C
The Slate Company manufactures and sells television sets. Its assembly division (AD) buys television screens from the screen division (SD) and assembles the TV sets. The SD, which is operating at capacity, incurs an incremental manufacturing cost of $65 per screen. The SD can sell all its output to the outside market at a price of $100 per screen, after incurring a variable marketing and distribution cost of $8 per screen. If the AD purchases screens from outside suppliers at a price of $100 per screen, it will incur a variable purchasing cost of $7 per screen. Slate’s division managers can act autonomously to maximize their own division’s operating income. Q. Now suppose that the SD can sell only 70% of its output capacity of 20,000 screens per month on the open market. Capacity cannot be reduced in the short run. The AD can assemble and sell more than 20,000 TV sets per month. a. From the point of view of Slate’s management, how much of the SD output should be transferred to the AD?
Jamison Company uses the total cost method of applying the cost-plus approach to product pricing. Jamison produces and sells Product X at a total cost of $800 per unit, of which $540 is product cost and $260 is selling and administrative expenses. In addition, the total cost of $800 is made up of $460 variable cost and $340 fixed cost. The desired profit is $168 per unit. Determine the markup percentage on total cost. %

Expected demand for each model follows: Table A 50,000 units Table B 30,000 units Table C 20,000 units Required: Suppose direct labor hours have been identified as the bottleneck resource. Determine how Blossom should prioritize production by rank, i.e., ordering the products from 1 to 3. If Blossom has only 45,000 direct labor hours available, calculate the number of units of each table Blossom should produce to maximize its profit. Suppose the number of machine hours has been…
