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 overhead ( $ 7/ unit X 10,000 additional units) 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:

  1. Incremental revenue

  2.   Incremental revenue = $ 80 per unit X 10,000 unitsIncremental revenue = $ 800,000

  3. Incremental costs

  4.   Direct material = $ 30 per unit X 10,000 unitsDirect material = $ 300,000

      Direct labor = $ 20 per unit X 10,000 unitsDirect labor = $ 200,000

      Variable manufacturing overhead per unit = $ 7 per unit X 10,000 unitsVariable manufacturing overhead per unit = $ 70,000

      Variable selling expenses per unit = $ 12 per unit X 10,000 unitsVariable selling expenses per unit = $ 120,000

      Total incremental costs = Direct material + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead                                           + Variable selling expenses

      Total incremental costs = $ 300,000 +$ 200,000 + $ 70,000 + $ 120,000Total incremental costs = $ 690,000

  5. Foregone Sales revenue due to acceptance of offer

  6.   Foregone Sales revenue due to acceptance of offer = $ 120 per unit X 5,000 unitsForegone Sales revenue due to acceptance of offer = $ 600,000

  7. Decrease in cost due to sales forgone −

  8.    Decrease in cost due to sales forgone = ( Direct material per unit + Direct Labor per unit  + Variable manufacturing+ Variable selling expenses )                                                                       X Sales forgone UnitsDecrease in cost due to sales forgone = ( $ 30 + $ 20 + $ 7 + $ 12) X 5,000 unitsDecrease in cost due to sales forgone = $ 345,0000

  9. Incremental Net operating income (Loss)

  10.    Incremental Net operating income (Loss) = Incremental revenue  Incremental costs                                                                       Foregone Sales revenue due to acceptance of offer                          +Decrease in cost due to sales forgoneIncremental Net operating income (Loss) = $ 800,000  $ 690,000 $ 600,000+ $ 345,000Incremental Net operating income (Loss) = ($ 145,000)
