Current Attempt in ProgressRiggs Company purchases sails and produces sailboats. It currently produces 1,230 sailboats per year, operating at normal capacity,which is about 80% of full capacity. Riggs purchases sails at $261 each, but the company is considering using the excess capacity tomanufacture the sails instead. The manufacturing cost per sail would be $100 for direct materials, $87 for direct labor, and $90 foroverhead. The $90 overhead is based on $78,720 of annual fixed overhead that is allocated using normal capacity.The president of Riggs has come to you for advice. "It would cost me $277 to make the sails," she says, "but only $261 to buy them.Should I continue buying them, or have I missed something?"(a)Prepare a per unit analysis of the differential costs.

Sheridan Ranch Inc. has been manufacturing its own finials for its curtain rods. The company is currently operating at 100% of capacity, and variable manufacturing overhead is charged to production at the rate of 51% of direct labor cost. The direct materials and direct labor cost per unit to make a pair of finials are $4 and $5, respectively. Normal production is 31,700 curtain rods per year. A supplier offers to make a pair of finials at a price of $13.05 per unit. If Sheridan Ranch accepts the supplier's offer, all variable manufacturing costs will be eliminated, but the $46,900 of fixed manufacturing overhead currently being charged to the finials will have to be absorbed by other products.

Ahrends Corporation makes 43,000 units per year of a part it uses in the products it manufactures. The unit product cost of this part is computed as follows: Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead Unit product cost $ 12.80 23.30 2.10 26.50 $ 64.70 An outside supplier has offered to sell the company all of these parts it needs for $51.00 a unit. If the company accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to make the part could be used to make more units of a product that is in high demand. The additional contribution margin on this other product would be $301,000 per year. If the part were purchased from the outside supplier, all of the direct labor cost of the part would be avoided. However, $23.40 of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost being applied to the part would continue even if the part were purchased from the outside supplier. This fixed manufacturing overhead cost would be applied to the company's remaining products.…

Guadalupe Olayo produces grandfather clocks. Each grandfather clock normally sells for $1,500. The following manufacturing cost information per clock is available: Direct materials are $200, labor is $600, variable overhead is $50, and fixed overhead is $40 (based on planned production for the year of 1,200 clocks). Commissions are 10% of selling price, and fixed selling and administrative costs are $70,000. Guadalupe’s tax rate is 25%. A European company has asked Guadalupe to accept a special order for 400 clocks. Due to some minor design changes, the material and labor costs for the special order clocks would increase by 25%. Another production run would have to be scheduled for the special order, since the clocks are different from the regular clocks, at a cost of $2,200. In addition, Guadalupe would have to hire a temporary clerk to process the ISO and export paperwork for shipping to Europe, at a cost of $600. Commissions will be paid at the rate of 5% of the special order…
