Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 7.16E
Cawley Company makes three models of lasers. Information on the three products is given below.
Fixed expenses consist of $300,000 of common costs allocated to the three products based on relative sales, and additional fixed expenses of $30,000 (Tingler), $80,000 (Shocker), and $35,000 (Stunner). The common costs will be incurred regardless of how many models arc produced. The other fixed expenses would be eliminated if a model is phased out.
James Watt, an executive with the company, feels the Stunner line should be discontinued to increase the company’s net income.
Instructions
(a) Compute current net income for Cawley Company.
(b) Compute net income by product line and in total for Cawley Company if the company discontinues the Stunner product line. (Hint: Allocate the $300,000 common costs to the two remaining product lines based on their relative sales.)
(c) Should Cawley eliminate the Stunner product line? Why or why not?
Use incremental analysis for elimination of a product line.

In addition to the above costs, if Wings produces part PQ107, it would have a retooling and design cost of $13,100. The relevant costs of producing 3,200 units of product PQ107 internally are:
Voltaic Electronics uses a standard part in the manufacture of different types of radios. The total cost of producing 45,000 parts is
$105,000.00, which includes fixed costs of $50,000.00 and variable costs of $55,000.00. The company can buy the part from an
outside supplier for $1.00 per unit and avoid 20% of the fixed costs. Assume that the company can use the freed manufacturing space
to make another product that can earn a profit of $17,000.00. If Voltaic outsources, what will be the effect on operating income?
OA. decrease of $37,000.00

Swifty produces 1,000 units of necessary components with the following costs:
Direct material - $30,000
Direct Labor - $19,000
Variable Overhead - $3,000
Fixed Overhead - $7,000.
The Fixed Overhead costs cannot be reduced, but another product could be made that would increase profit contribution to $8,000 if the components were acquired externally. If cost maximization is a major consideration and the company would prefer to buy the components, what is the maximum external price that Swifty would be willing to accept for the 1,000 units externally?
