Chapter 15, Problem 15.32P
Common costs. Tate Inc. and Booth Inc. are two small manufacturing companies that are considering leasing a cutting machine together. If Tate rents the machine on its own, it will cost $26,000. If Booth rents the machine alone, it will cost $14,000. If they rent the machine together, the cost will decrease to $36,000.
- 1. Calculate Tate’s and Booth’s respective share of fees under the stand-alone cost-allocation method.
Required
- 2. Calculate Tate’s and Booth’s respective share of fees using the incremental cost-allocation method assuming (a) Tate is the primary party and (b) Booth is the primary party.
- 3. Calculate Tate’s and Booth’s respective share of fees using the Shapley value method.
- 4. Which method would you recommend Tate and Booth use to share the fees?

- Perform a break-even analysis showing computation of the (a) contribution margin; (b) contribution rate; (c) break-even point in units; (d) break-even point in sales dollars. Lorne is considering working for Part-Time Painters. He would operate as an inde-pendent painter, but the jobs would be given to him by the company. In the com-pany’s advertisements, $100 would be charged for each room painted. The painter would then receive 80% of the amount billed. For each job, the painter would supply paint and brushes, at a cost of $38. Each painter must have his or her own ladders, drop cloths, and other tools, at a cost of $720.arrow_forwardA company is considering two alternatives with the following costs: Alternative 1 Alternative 2Material costs$87,000 $87,000 Utilities costs$45,000 $44,100 Review costs$41,000 $44,100 Direct labor costs$51,000 $51,000 Identify the costs that are relevant and the costs that are not relevant, given the choice of alternatives. Calculate the differential cost between the alternatives.arrow_forwardIdentifying Fixed, Variable, Mixed, and Step Costs Consider each of the following independent situations: a. A computer service agreement in which a company pays 150 per month and 15 per hour of technical time b. Fuel cost of the companys fleet of motor vehicles c. The cost of beer for a bar d. The cost of computer printers and copiers at your college e. Rent for a dental office f. The salary of a receptionist in a law firm g. The wages of counter help in a fast-food restaurant h. The salaries of dental hygienists in a three-dentist office. One hygienist can take care of 120 cleanings per month. i. Electricity cost which includes a 15 per month billing charge and an additional amount depending on the number of kilowatt-hours used Required: 1. For each situation, describe the cost as one of the following: fixed cost, variable cost, mixed cost, or step cost. (Hint: First, consider what the driver or output measure is. If additional assumptions are necessary to support your cost type decision, be sure to write them down.) Example: Raw materials used in productionVariable cost 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Change your assumption(s) for each situation so that the cost type changes to a different cost type. List the new cost type and the changed assumption(s) that gave rise to it. Example: Raw materials used in production. Changed assumptionthe materials are difficult to obtain, and a years worth must be contracted for in advance. Now, this is a fixed cost.

- Solve this problem is solutionarrow_forwardWheeler Company can produce a product that incurs the following costs per unit: direct materials, $9.10; direct labor, $23.10, and overhead, $15.10. An outside supplier has offered to sell the product to Wheeler for $42.56. If Wheeler buys from the supplier, it will still incur 40% of its overhead cost. Compute the net incremental cost or savings of buying. Multiple Choice $3.75 savings per unit. $1.30 cost per unit. $1.30 savings per unit. $3.75 cost per unit. $4.32 cost per unit.arrow_forwardA. APPLY THE CONCEPTS: Determine the mixed costs Costs that display characteristics of both fixed and variable costs simultaneously are called "mixed costs." The rental agreement on a piece of machinery stipulates an annual fee of $6,000 plus $2 for each hour of use. To illustrate, assume the manager wants to know what mixed costs will be at 7,000 hours of operation. Fixed Cost + (Variable Cost per Unit x Number of Units) = Mixed Cost $________________ + $_____ x 7,000 hours) = $___________ For this scenario, calculate the mixed costs at different levels across the relevant range, then graph them. Hours of Operation Mixed Cost 0 hours $________________ 4,000 $________________ 9,000 $________________ 12,000 $________________ 15,000 $________________ B. Based on the data from the table completed above, select the graph that correctly represents the mixed cost data. (selections in screenshot)arrow_forward
