Regis Company makes the plugs it uses in one of its products at a cost of P36 per unit. This cost includes P8 of fixed overhead. Regis needs 30,000 of these plugs annually, and Orlan Company has offered to sell them to Regis at P33 per unit. If Regis decides to purchase the plugs, P60,000 of the annual fixed overhead will be eliminated, and the company may be able to rent the facility previously used for manufacturing the plugs. If the plugs are purchased and the facility rented, Regis Company wishes to realize P100,000 in savings annually. To achieve this goal, the minimum annual rent on the facility must be: O P10,000 O P40,000 O P70,000 P190,000

Velstrom Ltd is considering outsourcing one of its products rather than producing it in its factory. The business allocates part of the total rental charge of the factory, based on floor area, on the section responsible for making the product. The section bears a charge of £20,000 per year. If the section were closed, the floor space released would be used for warehousing and, as a result, the business would give up the tenancy of an existing warehouse for which it is paying £25,000 a year. A business has approached Velstrom Ltd to offer £22,000 a year to sublet the released factory space. What will be the relevant benefit of releasing the factory space?

InteliSystems manufactures an optical switch that it uses in its final product. InteliSystems incurred the following manufacturing costs when it produced 70,000 units last year as shown in the chart below: InteliSystems does not yet know how many switches it will need this year; however, another company has offered to sell InteliSystems the switch for $8.50 per unit. If InteliSystems buys the switch from the outside supplier, the manufacturing facilities that will be idle cannot be used for any other purpose; yet none of the fixed costs are avoidable. Requirements 1. Given the same cost structure, should InteliSystems make or buy the switch? Show your analysis. 2. Now, assume that InteliSystems can avoid $105,000 of fixed costs a year by outsourcing production. In addition, because sales are increasing, InteliSystems needs 75,000 switches a year rather than 70,000 switches. What should the company do now? 3. Given the last scenario, what is the most InteliSystems would be willing to…

Markland Manufacturing manufactures desk lamps intends to increase capacity by obtaining new equipment. Two vendors have presented proposals. The purchase cost for proposal A is $30,000, and for proposal B, $80,000. Each proposal will produce lamps of the same quality. Proposal A is expected to produce lamps at $15.00/lamp, while proposal B is significantly more efficient and will produce them at $10.00/lamp. The revenue generated by the sale of each lamp is $20.00/unit. A. What is the point of indifference?B.

Kando Company incurs a $9.00 per unit cost for Product A, which it currently manufactures and sells for $13.50 per unit. Instead of manufacturing and selling this product, the company can purchase it for $5.00 per unit and sell it for $10.30 per unit. If it does so, unit sales would remain unchanged and $5.00 of the $9.00 per unit costs of Product A would be eliminated. 1. Prepare Incremental cost analysis. Should the company continue to manufacture Product A or purchase it for resale? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Harvey Automobiles uses a standard part in the manufacture of several of its trucks. The cost of producing 40,000 parts is $130,000, which includes fixed costs of $90,000 and variable costs of $40,000. The company can buy the part from an outside supplier for $3.30 per unit, and avoid 30% of the fixed costs. Assume that factory space freed up by purchasing the part from an outside source can be used to manufacture another product that can be sold for $179,000 profit. If Harvey Automobiles makes the part, what will its operating income be? $179,000 greater than if the company bought the part $49,000 greater than if the company bought the part $49,000 less than if the company bought the part $79,000 greater than if the company bought the part
Make or Buy Desert Industries manufactures 5,000 units of Part X300 each month for use in production. The facilities now being used to produce Part X300 have fixed monthly overhead costs of $75,000, and a theoretical capacity to produce 7,000 units per month. If Desert were to buy Part X300 from an outside supplier, the facilities would be idle and 80% of the fixed costs would continue to be incurred. There are no alternative uses for the production facilities. The variable production costs of Part X300 are $34 per unit. Fixed overhead is allocated based on planned production levels. If Desert Industries continues to use 5,000 units of Part X300 each month, it would realize a net benefit by purchasing Part X300 from an outside supplier only if the supplier's unit price is less than what amount? $0 Check
Tamarisk Manufacturing incurs unit costs of $7.20 ($5.20 variable and $2.00 fixed) in making a sub-assembly part for its finished product. A supplier offers to make 17,200 of the parts for $5.70 per unit. If it accepts the offer, Tamarisk will save all variable costs and $1.00 of fixed costs. Prepare an analysis showing the total cost savings, if any, that Tamarisk will realize by buying the part. (Round per unit answers to 2 decimal places, eg. 15.25. If an amount reduces the net income then enter with a negative sign preceding the number, e.g.-15,000 or parenthesis, e.g. (15,000).)
