Millennium Printers Inc. manufactures color laser printers. Model L-1819 presently sells for $150 and has a total product cost of $120, as follows: Direct materials $90 Direct labor 20 Factory overhead 10 Total $120 It is estimated that the competitive selling price for color laser printers of this type will drop to $140 next year. Millennium Printers wants to establish a target cost to maintain its historical markup percentage on product cost. Engineers have provided the following cost reduction ideas: Purchase a plastic printer cover with snap-on assembly. This will reduce the amount of direct labor by nine minutes per unit. Add an inspection step that will add six minutes per unit of direct labor but reduce the materials cost by $3 per unit. Decrease the cycle time of the injection molding machine from four minutes to three minutes per part. Thirty percent of the direct labor and 45% of the factory overhead is related to running injection molding machines. The direct…

Required information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] EagleEye Company, a manufacturer of digital cameras, is considering entry into the digital binocular market. EagleEye Company currently does not produce binoculars of any style, so this venture would require a careful analysis of relevant manufacturing costs to correctly assess its ability to compete. The market price for this binocular style is well established at $125 per unit. EagleEye has enough square footage in its plant to accommodate the new production line, although several pieces of new equipment would be required; their estimated cost is $4,850,000. EagleEye requires a minimum ROI of 14% on any product line investment and estimates that if it enters this market with its digital binocular product at the prevailing market price, it is confident of its ability to sell 21,000 units each year. b. Calculate the target cost per unit for entry into the digital binocular market. (Round your…

View Policies Show Attempt History Current Attempt in Progress Your answer is incorrect. Cullumber's Candles will be producing a new line of dripless candles in the coming years and has the choice of producing the candles in a large factory with a small number of workers or a small factory with a large number of workers. Each candle will be sold for $10. If the large factory is chosen, the cost per unit to produce each candle will be $3.60. The cost per unit will be $7.50 in the small factory. The large factory would have fixed cash costs of $2.30 million and a depreciation expense of $300,000 per year, while those expenses would be $470,000 and $100,000, respectively, in the small factory. Calculate the pretax operating cash flow break-even point for both factory choices for Cullumber's Candles. (Round answers to nearest whole units e.g. 152.) pretax operating cash flow breakeven point for the large factory is units and for the small factory is eTextbook and Media Save for Later Last…
Applying Differential Analysis to Equipment Replacement Decision TaylorMade - Adidas Golf Company a subsidiary of Adidas, manufactures golf clubs using "adjustable weight technology" or AWT. Suppose a European machine company has proposed to sell TaylorMade a new highly automated machine that would reduce significantly the labor cost of producing its golf clubs. The cost of the machine is $ 7,800,000, and would have an expected life of six years, at the end of which it would have a residual value of 10% of its original cost. The machine has an estimated operating cost of $39,000 per month. The direct labor cost savings per club from using the machine is estimated to be $16 per club, per month. In addition, other fixed overhead costs of $20,800 per month would be eliminated if the new machine is purchased. Also, the new machine would free up about 13,000 square feet of space from the displaced workers. Assume TaylorMade's building is held under a 10-year lease that has eight years…
