The contribution margin for Product A is $50 per hour and $45 per hour for Product B. The machine that produces both Product A and Product B is only available 50 hours. 2 units of Product A can be produced in an hour and 1 units of Product B can be produced.

Power Corp. makes 2 products: blades for table saws and blades for handsaws. Each product passes through the sharpening machine area, which is the chief constraint during production. Handsaw blades take 15 minutes on the sharpening machine and have a contribution margin per blade of $15. Table saw blades take 20 minutes on the sharpening machine and have a contribution margin per blade of $35. If it is assumed that Power Corp. has 5,000 hours available on the sharpening machine to service a minimum demand for each product of 4,000 units, how many of each product should be made?
Hatch Manufacturing produces multiple machine parts. The theoretical cycle time for one of its products is 65 minutes per unit. The budgeted conversion costs for the manufacturing cell dedicated to the product are 12,960,000 per year. The total labor minutes available are 1,440,000. During the year, the cell was able to produce 0.6 units of the product per hour. Suppose also that production incentives exist to minimize unit product costs. Required: 1. Compute the theoretical conversion cost per unit. 2. Compute the applied conversion cost per minute (the amount of conversion cost actually assigned to the product). 3. Discuss how this approach to assigning conversion cost can improve delivery time performance. Explain how conversion cost acts as a performance driver for on-time deliveries.
Gent Designs requires three units of part A for every unit of Al that it produces. Currently, part A is made by Gent, with these per-unit costs in a month when 4.000 units were produced: Variable manufacturing overhead is applied at $1.00 per unit. The other $0.30 of overhead consists of allocated fixed costs. Gent will need 6,000 units of part A for the next years production. Cory Corporation has offered to supply 6,000 units of part A at a price of $7.00 per unit. It Gent accepts the offer, all of the variable costs and $1,200 of the fixed costs will be avoided. Should Gent Designs accept the offer from Cory Corporation?
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.
Remarkable Enterprises requires four units of part A for every unit of Al that it produces. Currently, part A is made by Remarkable, with these per-unit costs in a month when 4,000 units were produced: Variable manufacturing overhead is applied at $1.60 per unit. The other $0.50 of overhead consists of allocated fixed costs. Remarkable will need 8,000 units of part A for the next years production. Altoona Corporation has offered to supply 8,000 units of part A at a price of $8.00 per unit. If Remarkable accepts the offer, all of the variable costs and $2,000 of the fixed costs will be avoided. Should Remarkable accept the offer from Altoona Corporation?
Polaris Inc. manufactures two types of metal stampings for the automobile industry: door handles and trim kits. Fixed cost equals 146,000. Each door handle sells for 12 and has variable cost of 9; each trim kit sells for 8 and has variable cost of 5. Required: 1. What are the contribution margin per unit and the contribution margin ratio for door handles and for trim kits? 2. If Polaris sells 20,000 door handles and 40,000 trim kits, what is the operating income? 3. How many door handles and how many trim kits must be sold for Polaris to break even? 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Assume that Polaris has the opportunity to rearrange its plant to produce only trim kits. If this is done, fixed costs will decrease by 35,000, and 70,000 trim kits can be produced and sold. Is this a good idea? Explain.
Assume that the moving activity has an expected cost of 80,000. Expected direct labor hours are 20,000, and expected number of moves is 40,000. The best activity for moving is a. 4 per move. b. 1.33 per hour-move. c. 4 per hour. d. 2 per move. e. e None of these.
NUBD Co. has only 25,000 hours of machine time each month to manufacture its two products. Product X has a contribution margin of P50 and Product Y has a contribution margin of P64. Product X requires 5 machine hours and Product Y, 8 hours. If the company wants to dedicate 80% of its machine time to the product that will provide the most income, it will have a total contribution margin of
Your Company has a limit of 65,000 machine hours for the production. It produces three products, with costs and selling prices as follows: Products C Demand in units 20,000 18,000 15,000 Selling price per unit $30 $20 $15 CM ratios 35% 25% 60% 3. 3 MH per unit What is the maximum contribution margin Your Company can make?
Product A has a contribution margin per unit of $500 and required 2 hours of machine times. Product B has a contribution margin per unit of $1,000 and requires 5 hours of machine time. How much of each product should be produced given there are 100 hours of variable machine time?
The “ABM” Company sells pencil cases for $15 each. Manufacturing cost is $4.60 per pencil case; marketing costs are $1.40 per pencil case; and royalty payments are 20% of the selling price. The fixed cost of preparing the pencil cases is $18 000. Capacity is 15 000 pencil cases. Compute the unit contribution margin and contribution rate. Compute the break-even point in units Determine the break-even point in units if fixed costs are increased by 20%. 4. Determine the break-even point in units if the selling price is increased by 30%, while fixed costs are increased by 20%.
A company 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 Group of answer choices the same if either product is made. $10,000 more if Product A is made. $10,000 less if Product B is made. $10,000 less if Product A is made.
