Your answer is partially correct. Blue Spruce Co. sells product P-14 at a price of $52 a unit. The per-unit cost data are direct materials $16, direct labour $10, and overhead $16 (75% variable). Blue Spruce has no excess capacity to accept a special order for 37,300 units, at a discount of 25% from the regular price. Selling costs associated with this order would be $4 per unit. Indicate the net income (loss) that Blue Spruce would realize by accepting the special order. (Enter loss with a negative sign preceding the number, e.g. -15,000 or parenthesis, e.g. (15,000).) Incremental income (loss) $ (111900) Blue Spruce Co. should not accept the special order.
MIUPI companies produce lanyards (cord). The cost of making a unit of product is $ 1.00 for direct materials, $ 0.50 for indirect labor, $ 1.25 for variable indirect costs. Indirect fixed overhead costs total $ 100,000. Commissions to sellers are $ 0.20 per unit sold. Other variable administrative and sales costs total $ 0.05 per unit. Fixed selling and administrative expenses total $ 200,000. The company taxes its earnings at 40%. Each unit sells for $ 5.00. 100.

The Compressor Division and the Fabrication Division of Plash Company, which exclusively produces one type of washing machine, respectively, are its two divisions. For the Fabrication Division, which completes the washing machine and sells it to retailers, the Compressor Division makes compressors. The Fabrication Division buys compressors from the Compressor Division. The Fabrication Division will spend $40.00 on a compressor, which is the market price. (Skip updates to the inventory.) It is expected that the fixed costs for the Compressor Division remain constant for orders between 5,000 and 10,000 units. The Fabrication Division's fixed expenses are estimated to be $7.50 per unit at 10,000 units. Compressor's costs per compressor are: Direct materials $15.00 Direct labor $7.25 Variable overhead $3.00 Division fixed costs $7.50 Fabrication's costs per completed air conditioner are: Direct materials $150.00 Direct labor $62.50 Variable overhead $20.00 Division fixed costs $7.50 Assume…

Portsmouth Company makes upholstered furniture. Its only variable cost is direct materials. The demand for the company's products far exceeds its manufacturing capacity. The bottleneck (or constraint) in the production process is upholstery labor-hours. Information concerning three of Portsmouth's products appears below: Selling price per unit Variable cost per unit Upholstery labor-hours per unit Required 1 Required 2 Recliner $ 1,462 $ 850 Required 3 Maximum overtime rate per hour 9 hours Sofa $ 2,060 $ 1,400 Required: 1. Portsmouth is considering paying its upholstery laborers hourly compensation, in addition to their usual salaries, to work overtime. Assuming this extra time would be used to produce sofas, up to how much of an overtime rate per hour should the company be willing to pay to keep the upholstery shop open after normal working hours? 2. A small nearby upholstering company has offered to upholster furniture for Portsmouth at a price of $52 per hour. The management of…
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 Y Budgeted annual production (units) 15,000 24,000 20,000 $ per unit $ per unit $ per unit Direct materials 35 40 45…

Cashew butter is a specialty line using smaller jars and fewerjars per case. Data concerning the two products follow: Annual overhead costs are listed below. These costs are classified as fixed or variable with respect to the appropriate activity driver. Required:1. Prepare a traditional segmented income statement, using a unit-level overhead rate based ondirect labor hours. Using this approach, determine whether the cashew butter product lineshould be kept or dropped.2. Prepare an activity-based segmented income statement. Repeat the keep-or-drop analysisusing an ABC approach.
A manufacturing company decides which of three mutually exclusive products to make in its factory on the basis of maximising the company's throughput accounting ratio. Current data for the three products is shown in the following table: Product X Product Y Product Z $20 Selling price per unit $60 $40 Direct material cost per unit $40 $10 $16 Machine hours per unit 10 20 2.5 Total factory costs (excluding direct materials) are $150,000. The company cannot make enough of any of the products to satisfy external demand entirely as machine hours are restricted. Which of the following actions would improve the company's existing throughput accounting ratio? Increase the selling price of product Z by 10% Increase the selling price of product Y by 10% Reduce the material cost of product Z by 5% O Reduce the material cost of product Y by 5%
