Zeus Company, a manufacturer of snowmobiles, is operating at 70% of plant capacity. Its plant manager is considering making the headlights now being purchased from an outside supplier for $13.60 each. The plant has idle equipment that could be used to manufacture the headlights. The design engineer estimates that each headlight requires $4.65 of direct materials, $3.65 of direct labor, and $6.65 of manufacturing overhead. Forty percent of the manufacturing overhead is a fixed cost that would be unaffected by this decision. A decision by the Company to manufacture the headlights should result in a net gain (loss) for each headlight of: $3.26. $(1.35). $2.64. $1.31.

Ahrends Corporation makes 43,000 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 Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead Unit product cost $ 12.80 23.30 2.10 26.50 $ 64.70 An outside supplier has offered to sell the company all of these parts it needs for $51.00 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 $301,000 per year. If the part were purchased from the outside supplier, all of the direct labor cost of the part would be avoided. However, $23.40 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 remaining products.…
Tom's Toolery is operating at 70% of its productive capacity. It is currently paying $23 per unit for a part used in its manufacturing operation. Tom's estimates it could make the part internally for a total cost of $26 per unit, consisting of $19 of unit-level production costs and $7 of facility-level costs that are currently attributed to other products. Tom's usually purchases 51,000 units of the part each year. These units could be manufactured using Tom's excess capacity. What is the effect on cost if the company decides to start making the part?

Vandalay Industries manufactures two products: toasters and blenders. The annual production and sales of toasters is 2100 units, while 1600 units of blenders are produced and sold. The company has traditionally used direct labor hours to allocate its overhead to products. Toasters require 1.25 direct labor hours per unit, while blenders require 1 direct labor hours per unit. The total estimated overhead for the period is $149,315. The company is looking at the possibility of changing to an activity-based costing system for its products. If the company used an activity-based costing system, it would have the following three activity cost pools: Expected activity Activity cost pool Estimatedoverheadcost Toasters Blenders Total Setup costs $8585 215 batches 450 batches 665 batches Engineering costs $73,980 870 engineering 820 engineering hours 1690 engineering hrs Maintenance costs $66,750 2750 direct labor hours 1195 direct labor hours 3945 direct labor hours Total…

Hot Dog Express (HDE) is currently buying their buns from Buns-For-All for $. 50 a dozen. Each month they purchase 14,000 dozen. HDE is considering making their own buns for cost cutting and quality reasons. They have determined the following costs: materials, $. 20; direct labor, $. 10; variable factory overhead cost, $. 04; and total (existing) fixed costs, $3,000 per month. From an accounting point of view only, should HDE make or buy their buns?
Sheridan Ranch Inc. has been manufacturing its own finials for its curtain rods. The company is currently operating at 100% of capacity, and variable manufacturing overhead is charged to production at the rate of 66% of direct labor cost. The direct materials and direct labor cost per unit to make a pair of finials are $4 and $5, respectively. Normal production is 34,300 curtain rods per year. A supplier offers to make a pair of finials at a price of $13.05 per unit. If Sheridan Ranch accepts the supplier's offer, all variable manufacturing costs will be eliminated, but the $45,700 of fixed manufacturing overhead currently being charged to the finials will have to be absorbed by other products. (a) Prepare the incremental analysis for the decision to make or buy the finials. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)

Mitus Company needs 20,000 special buckles for a backpack that it designs and manufactures. If the company buys the buckles from a buckle company, it will have idle capacity in its plant that cannot otherwise be used.
