W12 Homework: Assignment 1 o n points awarded References Submitted Levesque Company makes and sells lawn mowers for which it currently makes the engines. It has an opportunity to purchase the engines from a reliable manufacturer. The annual costs of making the engines are shown here. Cost of materials (20,000 Units x $26) $ 520,000 Labor (20,000 Units x $20) 400,000 Depreciation on manufacturing equipment* 42,000 Salary of supervisor of engine production 85,000 Rental cost of equipment used to make engines 23,000 Allocated portion of corporate-level facility-sustaining costs 80,000 Total cost to make 20,000 engines $1,150,000 ; *The equipment has a book value of $90,000 but its market value is zero. Required a. Determine the maximum price per unit that Levesque would be willing to pay for the engines. b. Determine the maximum price per unit that Levesque would be willing to pay for the engines, if production increased to 24,000 units. (For all requirements, Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) 5 $ |b, ‘Maximum price perunit |$ 50.50 Ql Explanation a. The maximum amount that Levesque would be willing to pay is the amount of production costs that could be avoided if production were stopped. In other words, the cost of buying the engines must be equal to or less than the avoidable cost of making them. Accordingly, the question can be answered by calculating the per unit avoidable cost of production. The cost of the depreciation on equipment cannot be avoided because it is a sunk cost that has already been incurred. Corporate-level facility ining cost will be incurred regardless of whether engines are purchased or manufactured. Accordingly, the allocated portion of corporate-level facility ing costs does not differ between the alternatives and is not avoidable. The relevant (avoidable) costs are as follows: 10/10 Total points awarded Help Exit ~
