Differential Costs and Sunk Costs
Refer to the data given in Exercise 1-7. Answer all questions independently.
Required:
1.What is the incremental
2. What is the incremental cost incurred if the company increases production and sales from 20,000 to 20,001 units?
3. Assume that Kubin Company produced 20,000 units and expects to sell 19,800 of them. If a new customer unexpectedly emerges and expresses interest in buying the 200 extra units that have been produced by the company and that would otherwise remain unsold, what is the incremental manufacturing cost per unit incurred to sell these units to the customer?

Introduction To Managerial Accounting
- The management of Hartman Company is trying to determine the amount of each of two products to produce over the coming planning period. The following information concerns labor availability, labor utilization, and product profitability: a. Develop a linear programming model of the Hartman Company problem. Solve the model to determine the optimal production quantities of products 1 and 2. b. In computing the profit contribution per unit, management does not deduct labor costs because they are considered fixed for the upcoming planning period. However, suppose that overtime can be scheduled in some of the departments. Which departments would you recommend scheduling for overtime? How much would you be willing to pay per hour of overtime in each department? c. Suppose that 10, 6, and 8 hours of overtime may be scheduled in departments A, B, and C, respectively. The cost per hour of overtime is 18 in department A, 22.50 in department B, and 12 in department C. Formulate a linear programming model that can be used to determine the optimal production quantities if overtime is made available. What are the optimal production quantities, and what is the revised total contribution to profit? How much overtime do you recommend using in each department? What is the increase in the total contribution to profit if overtime is used?arrow_forwardThe profit function for two products is: Profit3x12+42x13x22+48x2+700, where x1 represents units of production of product 1, and x2 represents units of production of product 2. Producing one unit of product 1 requires 4 labor-hours, and producing one unit of product 2 requires 6 labor-hours. Currently, 24 labor-hours are available. The cost of labor-hours is already factored into the profit function, but it is possible to schedule overtime at a premium of 5 per hour. a. Formulate an optimization problem that can be used to find the optimal production quantity of products 1 and 2 and the optimal number of overtime hours to schedule. b. Solve the optimization model you formulated in part (a). How much should be produced and how many overtime hours should be scheduled?arrow_forwardTo determine the effect of different levels of production on the company’s income, move to cell B7 (Actual production). Change the number in B7 to the different production levels given in the table below. The first level, 100,000, is the current level. What happens to the operating income on both statements as production levels change? Enter the operating incomes in the following table. Does the level of production affect income under either costing method? Explain your findings.arrow_forward

The data collected for the past year is as following: Number of units Total Quarter produced Costs 1 4,000 $ 1,000 2 5,400 1,280 3 7,000 1,600 4 9,000 2,000 Calculate the following amounts: The variable cost per unit The fixed cost Explain the method used by the company to estimate the cost function. Suggest other methods than may be used to estimate cost function.arrow_forwardUsing the costs data from Rose Company, answer the following questions: A. If 15,000 units are produced, what is the variable cost per unit? B. If 28,000 units are produced, what is the variable cost per unit? C. If 21,000 units are produced, what are the total variable costs?arrow_forward
- The total cost formula for a company can be modeled by TC = 12570+ 50x where x represents the number of items sold. A formula for the company's total income is modeled with TR 80x, where a represents the number of items sold. This company will breakeven when its total costs equal its total income. - How many items must this company sell to breakeven? Answer:arrow_forwardAlba Company is considering the introduction of a new product. To determine the selling price of this product, you have gathered the following information: • Direct material cost per unit Direct labor cost per unit • Variable manufacturing cost per unit Total fixed manufacturing costs.. • Variable selling and administration cost per unit Total fixed selling and administration costs.. .$3,000 .$2,250 ..S1,000 .S1,750,000 ..$1,250 .$550,000 If the company requires a rate of return 18% on its investments and $6,000,000 investments are needed. The total direct materials to be used in the production is $3,000,000. Required: 1. If the company uses absorption costing approach to cost-plus pricing, compute: a. The unit product cost. b. The markup percentage. c. The selling price per unit. 2. Assume that the company is considering the introduction of other new product. If the target-selling price per unit is $5,500 and the company investing $5,000,000 to purchase equipment needed produce 500…arrow_forwarda) Compute the breakeven sales dollars of cach product assuming the same sales mix remains constant. b) Prepare an analysis showing whether Product Z should be eliminated. The amount of change to net income should be computed. c) Assume the current demand of cach product is same as the sales volume the company has for the year. Below is the machine processing time required for cach product. Product Machine processing time in hours i. How many units should the company produce for each product if there is a constraint of only 24.000 hours of machine processing time in the year. ii.
