Company E has two divisions, Division A and Division B. Division A is currently buying Component X from an external seller for $13. Division B produces Component X and has excess capacity. Using the following data, what would the transfer price per unit if Division A purchased Component X from Division B at the full-cost-based transfer price? Variable cost per unit $7.89 Fixed cost per unit 1.48 Division B sales price of Component X 14.5
Cox Electric makes electronic components and has estimated the following for a new design of one of its products: Fixed cost = $10,000 Material cost per unit = $ 0.15 Labor cost per unit = $ 0.10 Revenue per unit = $ 0.65 These data are given in the file CoxElectric. Note that fixed cost is incurred regardless of the amount produced. Per-unit material and labor cost together make up the variable cost per unit. Assuming Cox Electric sells all that it produces, profit is calculated by subtracting the fixed cost and total variable cost rom total revenue. Create a spreadsheet model and construct a 1-way table and determine the breakeven point (use intervals of 10,000 units). Group of answer choices 20,000 - 30,000 10,000 - 20,000 30,000 - 40,000 25,000 30,000 20,000
A. APPLY THE CONCEPTS: Determine the mixed costs Costs that display characteristics of both fixed and variable costs simultaneously are called "mixed costs." The rental agreement on a piece of machinery stipulates an annual fee of $6,000 plus $2 for each hour of use. To illustrate, assume the manager wants to know what mixed costs will be at 7,000 hours of operation. Fixed Cost + (Variable Cost per Unit x Number of Units) = Mixed Cost $________________ + $_____ x 7,000 hours) = $___________ For this scenario, calculate the mixed costs at different levels across the relevant range, then graph them. Hours of Operation Mixed Cost 0 hours $________________ 4,000 $________________ 9,000 $________________ 12,000 $________________ 15,000 $________________ B. Based on the data from the table completed above, select the graph that correctly represents the mixed cost data. (selections in screenshot)
Adams Electronics currently produces the shipping containers it uses to deliver the electronics products it sells. The monthly cost of producing 9,300 containers follows. Unit-level materials Unit-level labor Unit-level overhead Product-level costs* Allocated facility-level costs $5,900 6,200 3,500 *One-third of these costs can be avoided by purchasing the containers. Russo Container Company has offered to sell comparable containers to Adams for $2.60 each. Required X Answer is complete but not entirely correct. $ 19,300 Yes $ 24,180 X No 11,100 26,900 a. Calculate the total relevant cost. Should Adams continue to make the containers? b. Adams could lease the space it currently uses in the manufacturing process. If leasing would produce $11,800 per month, calculate the total avoidable costs. Should Adams continue to make the containers? a. Total relevant cost a. Should Adams continue to make the containers? b. Total avoidable cost b. Should Adams continue to make the containers?

Waltman Co. produces 5,000 units of part A12E. The following costs were incurred for that level of production: Direct materials $ 55,000 Direct labor 160,000 Variable overhead 75,000 Fixed overhead 175,000 If Waltman buys the part from an outside supplier, $40,000 of the fixed overhead is avoidable. If the outside supplier offers a unit price of $68, net income will increase (decrease) by O ($50,000) decrease $125,000 increase O $85,000 increase O ($10,000) decrease
Day Star collected the following information: Cost to buy one unit Production costs per unit: Direct materials Direct labour Variable overhead Total fixed overhead Day Star can sell 25,000 units per year, at $80 each. The company also has an offer from a subsidiary to rent its plant facilities for $2,000,000. The fixed overhead will be incurred in each alternative, but there will be a savings of $150,000 in the fixed costs under the renting alternative.
