Oregon Equipment Company wants to develop a new log-splitting machine for rural homeowners. Market research has determined that the company could sell 6,000 log-splitting machines per year at a retail price of $700 each. An independent catalog company would handle sales for an annual fee of $2,000 plus $50 per unit sold. The cost of the raw materials required to produce the log-splitting machines amounts to $80 per unit. If company management desires a return equal to 10 percent of the final selling price, what is the target conversion and administrative cost per unit? Round answer to the nearest cent.

Management is considering whether to continue manufacturing the solenoids or to buy them from an outside source. The following information is available: 1. The company needs 20,000 solenoids per year. The solenoids can be purchased from an outside supplier at a cost of $15 per unit. 2. The unit cost of manufacturing the solenoids is $20, computed as follows: Direct materials Direct labor Factory overhead: Variable Fixed Total manufacturing costs Cost per unit ($400,000 ÷ 20,000 units) 3. If the company decides not to manufacture the solenoids, it will eliminate all of the raw materials and direct labor costs but only 75 percent of the variable factory overhead costs. 4. If the solenolds are purchased from the outside source, machinery used in the production of solenoids will be sold at its book value. Accordingly, no gain or loss will be recognized.
