- Andalus Furniture Company has two manufacturing plants, one at Aynor and another at Spartanburg. The cost in dollars of producing a kitchen chair at each of the two plants is given here. The cost of producing Q1 chairs at Aynor is: 75Q1+5Q12+100 and the cost of producing Q2 kitchen chairs at Spartanburg is: 25Q2+2.5Q22+150. Andalus needs to manufacture a total of 40 kitchen chairs to meet an order just received. How many chairs should be made at Aynor, and how many should be made at Spartanburg in order to minimize total production cost?arrow_forwardHenry’s Kitchens makes two types of sandwich makers: Basic and Deluxe. The company expects to manufacture 70,000 units of Basic, which has a per-unit direct material cost of $10 and a per-unit direct labor cost of $60. It also expects to manufacture 30,000 units of Deluxe, which has a per-unit material cost of $15 and a per-unit direct labor cost of $40. It is estimated that Basic will use 140,000 machine hours and Deluxe will require 60,000 machine hours. Historically, the company has used the traditional overhead allocation method and applied overhead at a rate of $21 per machine hour. It was determined that there were three cost pools, and the overhead for each cost pool is shown: Machine setups $ 90 000 Machine processing 4 000 000 Material requisitions 100 000 Total overhead $ 4 190 000 The cost driver for each cost pool and its expected activity is shown: Basic Deluxe Total Machine setups 100 200 300 Machine hours 140…arrow_forwardFlorida Kitchens produces high-end cooking ranges.

Each cubic meter of soil mix has direct labour costs of $1.50, direct material costs of $3.15, variable overhead costs of $0.75, and fixed overhead costs of $0.70 for a total cost of $6.10 per cubic meter. An outside supplier has offered to sell Owly soil mix for $5.75 per cubic meter. If Owly purchases the soil mix, 25% of the fixed manufacturing overhead will be eliminated, the remaining 75% will still exist.A. What is the net dollar advantage (disadvantage) of purchasing the soil mix rather than making it?B. What is the maximum amount Owly is willing to pay an outside supplier per cubic meter (to the cent) for the soil mix if the supplier commits to supplying all 200,000 cubic meters?C.
