Answer to Problem 5F15
Solution:
The financial disadvantage of accepting the new customer’s order for Alpha is $ 145,000.
Explanation of Solution
The incremental net operating profit (loss) is the difference between incremental revenues and costs.
Alpha - Incremental Net operating profit (Loss) (in $) | ||
Incremental Revenue ( $ 80/ unit X 10,000 additional units) | 800,000 | |
Less: | ||
Incremental costs - | ||
Direct material ( $ 30/ units X 10,000 additional units) | 300,000 | |
Direct labor ( $ 20/ unit X 10,000 additional units) | 200,000 | |
Variable manufacturing |
70,000 | |
Variable selling expenses ( $ 12/ unit X 10,000 additional units) | 120,000 | |
Total incremental costs | (690,000) | |
Less: Foregone Sales revenue due to acceptance of order ( $ 120 per unit X 5,000 units ) | (600,000) | |
Add: Decrease in costs related to the sales forgone | 345,000 | |
Alpha - Incremental net operating income (Loss) | (145,000) |
Given, the information for the product Alpha −
- Additional sales units = 10,000 units
- Selling price per unit = $ 80 per unit
- Direct Material per unit = $ 30 per unit
- Direct Labor per unit = $ 20 per unit
- Variable manufacturing overhead per unit = $ 7 per unit
- Variable selling expenses per unit = $ 12 per unit
- Foregone number of units due to acceptance of offer = 5,000 units
- Sales price per unit for regular sales = $ 120 per unit
Calculations:
- Incremental revenue
- Incremental costs
- Foregone Sales revenue due to acceptance of offer
- Decrease in cost due to sales forgone −
- Incremental Net operating income (Loss)
Thus, the financial disadvantage of accepting the new customer’s order for Alpha = $ 145,000.
