Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 11.29E
Theory of constraints, throughput margin, relevant costs. The Denver Corporation manufactures filing cabinets in two operations: machining and finishing. It provides the following information:
Machining | Finishing | |
Annual capacity | 120,000 units | 100,000 units |
Annual production | 100,000 units | 100,000 units |
Fixed operating costs (excluding direct materials) | $600,000 | $300,000 |
Fixed operating costs per unit produced($600,000 ÷ 100,000; $300,000 ÷ 100,000) | $6 per unit | $3 per unit |
Each cabinet sells for $75 and has direct material costs of $35 incurred at the start of the machining operation. Denver has no other variable costs. Denver can sell whatever output it produces. The following requirements refer only to the preceding data. There is no connection between the requirements.
- 1. Denver is considering using some modern jigs and tools in the finishing operation that would increase annual finishing output by 1,150 units. The annual cost of these jigs and tools is $35.000. Should Denver acquire these tools? Show your calculations.
Required
- 2. The production manager of the Machining Department has submitted a proposal to do faster setups that would increase the annual capacity of the Machining Department by 9,000 units and would cost $20,000 per year. Should Denver implement the change? Show your calculations.
- 3. An outside contractor offers to do the finishing operation for 10,000 units at $9 per unit, triple the $3 per unit that it costs Denver to do the finishing in-house. Should Denver accept the subcontractor’s offer? Show your calculations.
- 4. The Hammond Corporation offers to machine 5,000 units at $3 per unit, half the $6 per unit that it costs Denver to do the machining in-house. Should Denver accept Hammond’s offer? Show your calculations.
- 5. Denver produces 2,000 defective units at the machining operation. What is the cost to Denver of the defective items produced? Explain your answer briefly.
- 6. Denver produces 2,000 defective units at the finishing operation. What is the cost to Denver of the defective items produced? Explain your answer briefly.

Bellati has a machining department and a group of direct laborers called machinists. Each machinist can machine up to 500 units per year. Bellati also hires supervisors to develop machine specification plans and oversee production within the machining department. Given the planning and supervisory work, a supervisor can oversee, at most, three machinists. Bellatis accounting and production history shows the following relationships between number of units produced and the annual costs of supervision and materials handling (by machinists): Required: 1. Prepare a graph that illustrates the relationship between direct labor cost and number of units produced in the machining department. (Let cost of direct labor be the vertical axis and number of units be the horizontal axis.) Would you classify this cost as a strictly variable cost, a fixed cost, or a step cost? 2. Prepare a graph that illustrates the relationship between the cost of supervision and the number of units produced. (Let cost of supervision be the vertical axis and number of units be the horizontal axis.) Would you classify this cost as a strictly variable cost, a fixed cost, or a step cost? 3. Suppose that the normal range of production is between 1,400 and 1,500 units and that the exact number of machinists is currently hired to support this level of activity. Further suppose that production for the next year is expected to increase by an additional 500 units. What is the increase in the cost of direct labor?
