Sheridan Company purchases sails and produces sailboats. It currently produces 1,270 sailboats per year, operating at normal capacity, which is about 80% of full capacity. Sheridan purchases sails at $268 each, but the company is considering using the excess capacity to manufacture the sails instead. The manufacturing cost per sail would be $98 for direct materials, $86 for direct labor, and $90 for total manufacturing overhead. The $90 total manufacturing overhead includes $78,740 of annual fixed overhead that is allocated using normal capacity. The president of Sheridan has come to you for advice. "It would cost me $274 to make the sails," she says, "but only $268 to buy them. Should I continue buying them, or have I missed something?" (a) Prepare a per unit analysis of the differential costs. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number eg.-45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)

Damon Industries manufactures 16,000 components per year. The manufacturing costs of the components were determined as follows: Direct materials $ 134,000 Direct labor 21,500 Variable manufacturing overhead 61,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead 81,000 An outside supplier has offered to sell the component for $15. If Damon purchases the component from the outside supplier, the manufacturing facilities would be unused and could be rented out for $11,700. If Damon purchases the component from the supplier instead of manufacturing it, the effect on operating profits would be a:
Beta makes a component used in its engine. Monthly production costs for 1,000 component units are as follows: Direct materials $46,000 Direct labor 11,500 Variable overhead costs 34,500 Fixed overhead costs 23,000 Total costs $115,000 It is estimated that 8% of the fixed overhead costs will no longer be incurred if the company purchases the component from an outside supplier. Beta has the option of purchasing the component from an outside supplier at $97.75 per unit. 22) If Beta accepts the offer from the outside supplier, the monthly avoidable costs (costs that will no longer be incurred) total 23) If Beta purchases 1,000 units from the outside supplier per month, then what would be the change in operating income?
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

Old Camp Company manufactures awnings for its own line of tents. The company currently is operating at capacity and received an offer from one of its suppliers to make the 11,000 awnings it needs for $20 each. Old Camp’s costs for making the awning are $7 in direct materials and $6 in direct labor. Variable manufacturing overhead is 75 percent of direct labor. If Old Camp accepts the offer, $37,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead currently being charged to the awnings will have to be absorbed by other product lines. Required: Complete the incremental analysis for the decision to make or buy the awnings in the table provided below. Should Old Camp continue to manufacture the awnings, or should it purchase the awnings from the supplier?

Magnificent Modems has excess production capacity and is considering the possibility of making and selling security tokens. The following estimates are based on a production and sales volume of 1,000 security tokens. Unit-level manufacturing costs are expected to be $20. Sales commissions will be established at $1 per unit. The current facility-level costs, including depreciation on manufacturing equipment ($60,000), rent on the manufacturing facility ($50,000), depreciation on the administrative equipment ($12,000), and other fixed administrative expenses ($71,950), will not be affected by the production of the security tokens. The chief accountant has decided to allocate the facility-level costs to the existing product (modems) and to the new product (security tokens) on the basis of the number of units of product made (i.e., 5,000 modems and 1,000 security tokens). Required a. Determine the per-unit cost of making and selling 1,000 security tokens. Note: Do not round intermediate…
