Aril Industries is a multiproduct company that currently manufactures 30,000 units of Part 730 each month for use in production. The facilities now being used to produce Part 730 have fixed monthly overhead costs of 150,000 and a theoretical capacity to produce 60,000 units per month. If Aril were to buy Part 730 from an outside supplier, the facilities would be idle, and 40% of fixed costs would continue to be incurred. There are no alternative uses for the facilities. The variable production costs of Part 730 are 11 per unit. Fixed overhead is allocated based on planned production levels. If Aril Industries continues to use 30,000 units of Part 730 each month, it would realize a net benefit by purchasing Part 730 from an outside supplier only if the suppliers unit price is less than: a. 12.00. b. 12.50. c. 13.00. d. 14.00.
Gelbart Company manufactures gas grills. Fixed costs amount to 16,335,000 per year. Variable costs per gas grill are 225, and the average price per gas grill is 600. Required: 1. How many gas grills must Gelbart Company sell to break even? 2. If Gelbart Company sells 46,775 gas grills in a year, what is the operating income? 3. If Gelbart Companys variable costs increase to 240 per grill while the price and fixed costs remain unchanged, what is the new break-even point?
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?
Suppose that a company is spending 60,000 per year for inspecting, 30,000 for purchasing, and 40,000 for reworking products. A good estimate of nonvalue-added costs would be a. 70,000. b. 130,000. c. 40,000. d. 90,000. e. 100,000.

Let's say that ABC company manufactures and sells 20,000 units of its product yearly. A single product includes these costs: Direct materials: $3 per unit Direct labor: $5 per unit Variable manufacturing overhead: $2 per unit Fixed manufacturing overhead: $35,000 per year, which computes to a $1.75 per unit cost ($35,000/20,000 annual units) Can you explain what the per unit cost of the product would be under the Absorption and Variable costing methods?
Beat Company manufactures 8,000 units of a certain component per year. This component is used in the production of the main product. The following are the costs to make the component per unit: Direct materials $4 Direct labor $4 Variable overhead $3 Fixed overhead $5 If Beat Company buys the component from an outside supplier, the company can rent out the released facilities for P12,360 a year. The cost of the component per unit as quoted by the supplier is P15. 25% of fixed overhead applied in the manufacture of the component will continue regardless of what decision is made. For all purchase made by the company, freight and handling costs are applied at 2% of the purchase price. The direct materials cost presented above is exclusive of such freight and handling cost. What is the advantage or disadvantage of buying the component?A. P12,240 advantage B. 24,600 advantage C. 5,400 disadvantage D. 8,600 advantage
Gelb Company currently manufactures 47,500 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $4.05 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $85,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $70,500 per year.
