Chapter 8, Problem 1EB
Bristol is developing material standards for her company. The operations manager wants grade A plastic tops because they are the easiest to work with and are the quality the customers want. Grade B will not work because customers do not want the lower grade, and it takes more time to assemble the product than with grade A materials. Bristol calls several suppliers to get prices for the plastic top. All are within $0.10 of each other. Since the company will use millions of the plastic tops, she decides that the $0.10 difference is important. The supplier who has the lowest price is known for delivering late and low- quality materials. Bristol decides to use the supplier who is $0.04 more but delivers on time and at the right quality. This supplier charges $0.52 per plastic top. Each unit of product requires six plastic tops. What is the

- Novak manufactures pre-made scrapbook pages for scrapbookers who don't have time to create their own pages. The clients need only insert their pictures on the pages. It currently sells a child's scrapbook with pre-made pages for $52. Production costs are $22 variable and $10 fixed. The company is considering creating scrapbook kits instead to save labour costs. They are expecting to sell these kits for $44 each and save $9 in variable costs. Prepare an incremental analysis. (If an amount reduces the net income then enter with a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45,000 or parenthesis, e.g. (45,000). While alternate approaches are possible, irrelevant fixed costs should be included in both options when solving this problem.) $ Kits $ $ Pre-made pages Should the company begin to sell kits or continue to sell pre-made scrapbooks? $ $ Incremental (revenue) and costsarrow_forwardBradley Nowell works as a purchaser at Louie Dog Industries.

In order to fill the orders, Bradley's mother buys low-quality beds from another dog bed supplier and sells those to Louie Dog for a substantial markup. In fact, the price charged to Louie Dog is twice what other manufactures would charge the company. What type of scheme is this?

- David would like to order special holiday ornaments for his staff of 720 employees. He just found the perfect item clear glass globes with a unique design and material inside. The only issue is that the globes come from a small manufacturer with limited capacity. The manufacturer told David that it could only produce 360 of these ornaments for him without affecting its regular sales. Normally, these ornaments sell for $25.00 each and cost the company $20.00 to make (David does not know the company's cost structure). Included in the $20.00 cost per unit is $2.55 of fixed-MOH and $1.50 of variable-MOH. (a) Your Answer Correct Answer Your answer is correct. How much will operating income change for the small manufacturer if it produces 360 omaments for David and sells them at a special price of $20.00 per unit?

Two of its newer products require a finishing process that can only be completed on machines that were recently purchased for this purpose.

Sarah Jacob, the company's operations manager, is preparing the production schedule for the coming month and can't seem to find enough machine time to produce enough units to meet the customer demand that the marketing department has included in the sales budget.

- Ellie now had two offers to think about. Her initial reaction was to turn down the special request for 25,000 brochures at $10 per 100. Especially as she did not believe Tyco would realize any repeat or future business from the customer. She also needed to understand her costs versus the cost offered by the small shop to increase Tyco's printing capacity by outsourcing. Should she tell the small shop about the special order request and let them work it out themselves? They might both get what they needed.arrow_forwardPamela is opening a pastry shop in which she will make and sell special birthday cupcakes. She is trying to decide how many mixers to purchase. Her estimated fixed and average variable costs, if she purchases one, two, or three mixers, are shown in the table. Assume that average variable costs do not vary with output. Suppose that Pamela is producing 100 cupcakes with one mixer, but she has a sudden increase in demand, so she begins to produce 200 cupcakes. Explain how her average total cost will change in the short run and in the long run. (Hint: Don't write more than 3 sentences) Table: Cupcakes at Dessert Delight Number of Fixed Costs Average mixers variable cost 1 $1,000 $10 1,500 2,500 2 3arrow_forwardSalem Electronics currently produces two products: a programmable calculator and a tape recorder. A recent marketing study indicated that consumers would react favorably to a radio with the Salem brand name. Owner Kenneth Booth was interested in the possibility. Before any commitment was made, however, Kenneth wanted to know what the incremental fixed costs would be and how many radios must be sold to cover these costs. In response, Betty Johnson, the marketing manager, gathered data for the current products to help in projecting overhead costs for the new product. The overhead costs based on 30,000 direct labor hours follow. (The high-low method using direct labor hours as the independent variable was used to determine the fixed and variable costs.) All depreciation. The following activity data were also gathered: Betty was told that a plantwide overhead rate was used to assign overhead costs based on direct labor hours. She was also informed by engineering that if 20,000 radios were produced and sold (her projection based on her marketing study), they would have the same activity data as the recorders (use the same direct labor hours, machine hours, setups, and so on). Engineering also provided the following additional estimates for the proposed product line: Upon receiving these estimates, Betty did some quick calculations and became quite excited. With a selling price of 26 and just 18,000 of additional fixed costs, only 4,500 units had to be sold to break even. Since Betty was confident that 20,000 units could be sold, she was prepared to strongly recommend the new product line. Required: 1. Reproduce Bettys break-even calculation using conventional cost assignments. How much additional profit would be expected under this scenario, assuming that 20,000 radios are sold? 2. Use an activity-based costing approach, and calculate the break-even point and the incremental profit that would be earned on sales of 20,000 units. 3.
