Chapter 20, Problem 20.34P
JIT purchasing, relevant benefits, relevant costs. (CMA, adapted) The Gibson Corporation is a manufacturing company that uses automatic stamping machines to manufacture garage doors from rolled sheets of raw steel. Gibson’s inventory of raw steel averages $600,000. Juan Sanchez, president of Gibson, and Jane Anderson, Gibson’s controller, are concerned about the costs of carrying inventory. The steel supplier is willing to supply steel in smaller lots at no additional charge. Anderson identifies the following effects of adopting a JIT inventory program to virtually eliminate steel inventory:
- Without scheduling any overtime, lost sales due to stockouts would increase by 700 units per year. However, by incurring overtime premiums of $90,000 per year, the increase in lost sales could be reduced to 300 units per year. This would be the maximum amount of overtime that would be feasible for Gibson.
- Two warehouses currently used for rolled steel storage would no longer be needed. Gibson rents one warehouse from another company under a cancelable leasing arrangement at an annual cost of $80,000. The other warehouse is owned by Gibson and contains 20,000 square feet. Three-fourths of the space in the owned warehouse could be rented for $2.50 per square foot per year. Insurance and property tax costs totaling $16,000 per year would be eliminated.
Gibson’s required rate of
| Revenues (20,000 units) | $16,000 | |
| Cost of goods sold | ||
| Variable costs | $8,450 | |
| Fixed costs | 3,280 | |

| Variable costs | $1,045 | |
| Fixed costs | 890 | |
| Total marketing and distribution costs | 1,935 | |
| Operating income | $ 2,335 |

Identify and explain other factors that Gibson should consider before deciding whether to adopt JIT purchasing.
Assume that HASF furniture Inc., as described, currently purchases the chair cushions for its lawn set from an outside vendor for $30 per set. Modern Furniture’s chief operations officer wants an analysis of the comparative costs of manufacturing these cushions to determine whether bringing the manufacturing in-house would save the firm money. Additional information shows that if Modern furniture’s were to manufacture the cushions, the materials cost would be $16 and the labor cost would be $10 per set and that it would have to purchase cutting and sewing equipment, which would add $25,000 to annual fixed costs.

The Compressor Division and the Fabrication Division of Plash
Company, which exclusively produces one type of washing machine,
respectively, are its two divisions. For the Fabrication Division, which
completes the washing machine and sells it to retailers, the Compressor
Division makes compressors. The Fabrication Division buys compressors
from the Compressor Division. The Fabrication Division will spend
$40.00 on a compressor, which is the market price. (Skip updates to the
inventory.) It is expected that the fixed costs for the Compressor
Division remain constant for orders between 5,000 and 10,000 units.
The Fabrication Division's fixed expenses are estimated to be $7.50 per
unit at 10,000 units.
Compressor's costs per compressor are:
Direct materials
$15.00
Direct labor
$7.25
Variable overhead
$3.00
Division fixed costs
$7.50
Fabrication's costs per completed air conditioner are:
Direct materials
$150.00
Direct labor
$62.50
Variable overhead
