Variable selling costs of $4 per unit sold are added to cover the transportation cost. Although production capacity is 500,000 units per year, Faulkland expects to produce only 400,000 units next year. The product normally sells for $40 each. A customer has offered to buy 60,000 units for $30 each. The customer will pay the transportation charge on the units purchaßed. If Faulkland accepts the special order, the effect on income would be a: a) $60,000 increase. b) $180,000 increase. c) $420,000 increase.

Harcourt Manufacturing (HM) has the capacity to produce 11,800 fax machines per year. HM currently produces and sells 8,800 units per year. The fax machines normally sell for $280 each. Modem Products has offered to buy 3,800 fax machines from HM for $150 each. Unit-level costs associated with manufacturing the fax machines are $51 each for direct labor and $76 each for direct materials. Product-level and facility-level costs are $68,000 and $83,000, respectively. How much would profit increase (decrease) if HM accepted this special order?
Sell or Process Further Jensen Manufacturing Company makes a partially completed assembly unit that it sells for $36 per unit. Normally, 42,000 units are sold each year. Variable unit cost data on the assembly are as follows: Direct material $10 Direct labor 8 Variable manufacturing overhead 4 The company is now using only 70% of its normal capacity; it could fully use its normal capacity by processing the assembly further and selling it for $41 per unit. If the company does this, material and labor costs will each increase by $2 per unit and variable overhead will go up by $1 per unit. Fixed costs will increase from the current level of $160,000 to $180,000. Prepare an analysis showing whether Jensen should process the assemblies further. Use a negative sign with answer to only indicate a loss from processing assemblies further; otherwise do not use negative signs with your answers.

The Varone Company makes a single product called a Hom. The company has the capacity to produce 40,000 Homs per year. Per unit costs to produce and sell one Hom at that activity level are: Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead Variable selling expense Fixed selling expense S $20 $10 $5 $7 O $23,200 decrease $27,000 Increase $50,800 Increase O $63,000 Increase $10 $8 The regular selling price for one Hom is $60. A special order has been received at Varone from the Fairview Company to purchase 6,300 Homs next year at 20% off the regular selling price. If this special order were accepted, the variable selling expense would be reduced by 30%. However, Varone would have to purchase a specialized machine to engrave the Fairview name on each Hom in the special order. This machine would cost $10,800 and it would have no use after the special order was filled. The total fixed costs, both manufacturing and selling, are constant within the…
Melbourne Corporation has traditionally made a subcomponent of its major product. Annual production of 30,000 subcomponents results in the following costs: Direct materials $ 250,000 Direct labor $ 200,000 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 190,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 120,000 Melbourne has received an offer from an outside supplier who is willing to provide the 30,000 units of the subcomponent each year at a price of $28 per unit. There would be no effect of this decision on the total fixed manufacturing overhead of the company. Melbourne knows that the facilities now being used to manufacture the subcomponent could be rented to another company for revenue of $80,000 per year if the subcomponent were purchased from the outside supplier. The financial advantage (disadvantage) of making the subcomponent would be: Multiple Choice $0 $280,000 $120,000 $200,000
Ahrends Corporation makes 44,000 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 $ 23.80 Direct labor 27.70 Variable manufacturing overhead 8.70 Fixed manufacturing overhead 39.70 Unit product cost $ 99.90 An outside supplier has offered to sell the company all of these parts it needs for $86.20 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 $286,000 per year. If the part were purchased from the outside supplier, all of the direct labor cost of the part would be avoided. However, $34.40 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…

Mervin Company produces circuit boards that sell for $8 per unit. It currently has capacity to produce 600,000 circuit boards per year but is selling 550,000 boards per year. Annual costs for the 550,000 circuit boards follow. Direct materials $ 825,000 Direct labor 1,100,000 Overhead . 1,375,000 Selling expenses 275,000 Administrative expenses . 550,000 Total costs and expenses $4,125,000 An overseas customer has offered to buy 50,000 circuit boards for $6 per unit. The customer is in a different market from Mervin’s regular customers and would not affect regular sales. A study of its costs in anticipation of this additional business reveals the following: ∙ Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable. ∙ Twenty percent of overhead is fixed at any production level from 550,000 units to 600,000 units; the remaining 80% of annual overhead costs are variable with respect to volume. ∙ Selling expenses are 40% variable with respect to number of units sold, and the other 60% of…
Damon Industries manufactures 15,000 components per year. The manufacturing costs of the components were determined as follows: Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead An outside supplier has offered to sell the component for $16. If Damon purchases the component from the outside supplier, the manufacturing facilities would be unused and could be rented out for $11,600. If Damon purchases the component from the supplier instead of manufacturing it, the effect on operating profits would be a: Multiple Choice O O $78,900 increase. $42,100 increase. $37,900 decrease. $ 129,000 20,500 60,000 80,000 $18,900 decrease.
