Maplewood can sell all the units it can produce of either Product A or Product B but not both. Product A has a unit contribution margin of $16 and takes two machine hours to make and Product B has a unit contribution margin of $30 and takes three machine hours to make. If there are 5,000 machine hours available to manufacture a product, income will be $10,000 less if Product A is made $10,000 more if Product A is made. the same if either product is made O $10,000 less if ProductB is made.

Maple Inc. manufactures a product that costs $25 per unit plus $43,000 in fixed costs each month. Maple currently sells 6,000 of these units per month for $47 each. If Maple leased a machine for $12,000 a month, it could add features to the product that would allow it to sell for $53 each. It would cost an additional $9 per unit to add these features. How much would Maple's profit be affected if it leased the machine and added features to its product? Multiple Choice Increase $252,000 Decrease $252,000 Increase $6,000 Decrease $30,000

How many Tuff-Pups must be sold to break even?2. If Reagan wants to earn $95,900 in profit, how many Tuff-Pups must be sold? Prepare a variable-costing income statement to verify your answer.3. Suppose that Reagan would like to lower the break-even units to 12,000. The company does not believe that the price or fixed cost can be changed. Calculate the new unit variable costthat would result in break-even units of 12,000. (Round to the nearest cent.)4. What is Reagan’s current contribution margin and operating income? Calculate the degree of operating leverage (round your answer to four decimal places). If sales increased by 10percent next year, what would the percent change in operating income be?

How much would Maple have to charge for the product with additional features to make it worthwhile to lease the machine?
A domestic producer of baby carriages, Pramble, buys the wheels from a company in the north of England. Currently the wheels cost $4 each, but for a number ofreasons the price will double. In order to produce the wheels themselves, Pramblewould have to add to existing facilities at a cost of $800,000. It estimates that its unitcost of production would be $3.50. At the current time, the company sells 10,000carriages annually. (Assume that there are four wheels per carriage.)a. At the current sales rate, how long would it take to pay back the investmentrequired for the expansion?b. If sales are expected to increase at a rate of 15 percent per year, how long willit take to pay back the expansion?
