Talbot Industries manufactures two models of wireless headset: TI-12 and TI-28. Each product requires time on a single machine. The machine has a monthly capacity of 684 hours. Total market demand for the two products is limited to 2,360 units of TI-12 and 1,180 units of TI-28 monthly. Talbot is currently producing and selling 1,680 TI-12 models and 816 TI-28 models each month. Cost and machine-usage data for the two products are shown in the following spreadsheet, which analysts at Talbot use for production planning purposes: Price Less variable costs per unit Material Labor Overhead Contribution margin per unit Fixed costs Manufacturing Marketing and administrative Machine hours per unit Machine hours used Machine hours available Quantity produced Maximum demand Profit TI-12 $ 116 TI-28 $ 398 Total 41 108 47 82 8 74 $ 20 $ 134 $ 35,800 $ 32,800 $ 68,600 0.1 0.5 576 684 1,680 2,360 816 1,180 $ 74,344 Required: a. What is the optimal production schedule for Talbot Industries? In other words, how many TI-12s and TI-28s should the company produce each month to maximize monthly profit? b. If Talbot Industries produces at the level found in requirement (a), how much will monthly profit increase over the current production schedule?

Power Corp. makes 2 products: blades for table saws and blades for handsaws. Each product passes through the sharpening machine area, which is the chief constraint during production. Handsaw blades take 15 minutes on the sharpening machine and have a contribution margin per blade of $15. Table saw blades take 20 minutes on the sharpening machine and have a contribution margin per blade of $35. If it is assumed that Power Corp. has 5,000 hours available on the sharpening machine to service a minimum demand for each product of 4,000 units, how many of each product should be made?
Dimitri Designs has capacity to produce 30,000 desk chairs per year and is currently selling all 30,000 for $240 each. Country Enterprises has approached Dimitri to buy 800 chairs for $210 each. Dimitris normal variable cost is $165 per chair, including $50 per unit in direct labor per chair. Dimitri can produce the special order on an overtime shift, which means that direct labor would be paid overtime at 150% of the normal pay rate. The annual fixed costs will be unaffected by the special order and the contract will not disrupt any of Dimitris other operations. What will be the impact on profits of accepting the order?

Muscat Inc. has been manufacturing its own Camera for its Mobile Phone. The company is currently operating at 100% of capacity. Variable manufacturing overhead cost is OMR 3 per unit. The direct materials and direct labor cost per unit to make the camera are OMR 4 and OMR 6, respectively, fixed cost is OMR 50,000. Normal production is 50,000 Mobile Phone per year. A supplier offers to make the Cameras at a price of OMR 13.50 per unit. If Muscat accepts the supplier's offer; all variable manufacturing costs will be eliminated, but the OMR 50,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead currently being charged to the Cameras will have to be absorbed by other products. what will be the effect on net income? if the productive capacity released by not making the Cameras could be used to produce income of R.O. 40,000 Select one: a. OMR 15,000 decrease Ob. OMR 25,000 decrease O c. OMR 725,000 increase O d. None of the answers are correct O e. OMR 15,000 increase
Ellix Company manufactures two models of ultra-high fidelity speakers—the X200 model and the X99 model. Data regarding the two products follow: Product Direct Labor-Hours Annual Production Total Direct Labor-Hours X200 0.4 DLHs per unit 17,000 units 6,800 DLHs X99 0.6 DLH per unit 40,000 units 24,000 DLHs 30,800 DLHs Additional information about the company follows: Model X200 requires $35 in direct materials per unit, and model X99 requires $24. The direct labor workers are paid $20 per hour. The company has always used direct labor-hours as the allocation base for applying manufacturing overhead cost to products. Model X200 is more complex to manufacture than model X99 and requires special equipment. Because of the special work required in (d) above, the company is considering an activity-based absorption costing that applies manufacturing overhead cost to products using three activity cost pools: Activity Cost Pool Activity Measure Estimated Total Cost…

Saved Neptune Company has developed a small inflatable toy that it is anxious to introduce to its customers. The company's Marketing Department estimates that demand for the new toy will range between 16,000 units and 36,000 units per month. The new toy will sel for $3.00 per unit. Enough capacity exists in the company's plant to produce 19,000 units of the toy each month. Variable expenses to manufacture and sell one unit would be $1.00, and incremental fixed expenses associated with the toy would total $27,000 per month. Neptune has also identified an outside supplier who could produce the toy for a price of $1.75 per unit plus a fixed fee of $20,000 per month for any production volume up to 21,000 units. For a production volume between 21,001 and 41,000 units the fixed fee would increase to a total of $40,000 per month. Required: 1. Calculate the break-even point in unit sales assuming that Neptune does not hire the outside supplier. 2. How much profit will Neptune earn assuming: a.…
