Cullumber Company operates a small factory in which it manufactures two products: Cand D. Production and sales results for last year were as follows. Units sold Unit selling price Unit variable costs Unit fixed costs C 9,000 $94 49 20 Net profit with products C & D D Net profit with products C&E 19,800 $75 For purposes of simplicity, the firm averages total fixed costs over the total number of units of C and D produced and sold. The research department has developed a new product (E) as a replacement for product D. Market studies show that Cullumber Company could sell 11,000 units of E next year at a price of $115; unit variable costs of E are $40.

Manatoah Manufacturing produces 3 models of window air conditioners: model 101, model 201, and model 301. The sales price and variable costs for these three models are as follows: The current product mix is 4:3:2. The three models share total fixed costs of $430,000. Calculate the sales price per composite unit. What is the contribution margin per composite unit? Calculate Manatoahs break-even point in both dollars and units. Using an income statement format, prove that this is the break-even point.

Morrill Company produces two different types of gauges: a density gauge and a thickness gauge. The segmented income statement for a typical quarter follows. Includes depreciation. The density gauge uses a subassembly that is purchased from an external supplier for 25 per unit. Each quarter, 2,000 subassemblies are purchased. All units produced are sold, and there are no ending inventories of subassemblies. Morrill is considering making the subassembly rather than buying it. Unit-level variable manufacturing costs are as follows: No significant non-unit-level costs are incurred. Morrill is considering two alternatives to supply the productive capacity for the subassembly. 1. Lease the needed space and equipment at a cost of 27,000 per quarter for the space and 10,000 per quarter for a supervisor. There are no other fixed expenses. 2. Drop the thickness gauge. The equipment could be adapted with virtually no cost and the existing space utilized to produce the subassembly. The direct fixed expenses, including supervision, would be 38,000, 8,000 of which is depreciation on equipment. If the thickness gauge is dropped, sales of the density gauge will not be affected. Required: 1. Should Morrill Company make or buy the subassembly? If it makes the subassembly, which alternative should be chosen? Explain and provide supporting computations. 2. Suppose that dropping the thickness gauge will decrease sales of the density gauge by 10 percent. What effect does this have on the decision? 3. Assume that dropping the thickness gauge decreases sales of the density gauge by 10 percent and that 2,800 subassemblies are required per quarter. As before, assume that there are no ending inventories of subassemblies and that all units produced are sold. Assume also that the per-unit sales price and variable costs are the same as in Requirement 1. Include the leasing alternative in your consideration. Now, what is the correct decision?
Patz Company produces two types of machine parts: Part A and Part B, with unit contribution margins of 300 and 600, respectively. Assume initially that Patz can sell all that is produced of either component. Part A requires two hours of assembly, and B requires five hours of assembly. The firm has 300 assembly hours per week. Required: 1. Express the objective of maximizing the total contribution margin subject to the assembly-hour constraint. 2. Identify the optimal amount that should be produced of each machine part and the total contribution margin associated with this mix. 3. What if market conditions are such that Patz can sell at most 75 units of Part A and 60 units of Part B? Express the objective function with its associated constraints for this case and identify the optimal mix and its associated total contribution margin.
