Schimpf Industries Inc. has developed a new grinder, model WC-13, that is designed to offer superior performance to a comparable grinder sold by Schimpf's main competitor. The competing grinder sells for $70,000 and needs to be replaced after 4,100 hours of use. It also requires $8,200 of preventive maintenance during its useful life. Model WC-13's performance capabilities are similar to the competing product with two important exceptions-it needs to be replaced only after 16,400 hours of use and it requires $20,500 of preventive maintenance during its useful life. From a value-based pricing standpoint what range of possible prices should Schimpf consider when setting a price for model WC-13?

Algonac Moldings produces a product made from a metal alloy. Two suppliers, Liebold Metal and Cecil Distributors, supply the alloy. Neither supplier can meet Algonac's typical demand, because of capacity constraints. The material from Liebold is less expensive to buy but more difficult to use, resulting in greater waste. The metal alloy is highly toxic and any waste requires costly handling to avoid environmental accidents. Last year the cost of handling the waste totaled $1,200,000. Additional data from last year’s operations are shown as follows: Liebold Metals Cecil Distributors Amount of material purchased (tons) 64.8 115.2 Amount of waste (tons) 9.0 11.0 Cost of purchases $ 1,488,000 $ 3,312,000 Required: Allocate the cost of the waste handling to the two suppliers based on: Amount of material purchased.

MSI is considering outsourcing the production of the handheld control module used with some of its products. The company has received a bid from Monte Legend Co. (MLC) to produce 10,000 units of the module per year for $16 each. The following information pertains to MSI’s production of the control modules: Direct materials $ 9 Direct labor 4 Variable manufacturing overhead 2 Fixed manufacturing overhead 3 Total cost per unit $ 18 MSI has determined that it could eliminate all variable costs if the control modules were produced externally, but none of the fixed overhead is avoidable. At this time, MSI has no specific use in mind for the space that is currently dedicated to the control module production. Suppose that the MSI space currently used for the modules could be utilized by a new product line that would generate $35,000 in annual profit. Recompute the difference in cost between making and buying under this scenario.

Toledo Tool Company plans to introduce a new product. The company also considers adopting a new computer-assisted manufacturing system. The new product can be manufactured by either the new computer assisted system or its traditional labor-intensive production system. The company can achieve the same quality of the product regardless of which the production system employed. The estimated product costs by the two production systems are as follows: Traditional Labor-Intensive Production Systems New Computer-Assisted Manufacturing Systems Direct Material (per unit) $10.5 $8.4 Direct Labor (per unit) $14.0 $9.0 Variable overhead (per unit) $5.5 $3.4 Fixed overhead $2M $3.5M The marketing department recommends that the unit selling price of the new product be at $65, and the company expects the selling expenses for the new product to be $830,000 annually plus $4 for each unit sold. The company is currently subject to a 40% income tax rate.…
