Management is considering devoting this excess capacity to one or more of three products: A, B, and C The number of machine hours required per unit are Machine Type Milling Machine Lathe Grinder At this moment the company has 713 hours available for the milling machines, 439 hours are available for the lathe, and 296 hours are available for the grinder Profit to be obtained per unit of each product is as follows, Unit Profits A B C ABC (625) (420) (202) 19 7 9 The salespeople estimate that they can sell all the units of A and B that can be made. But the sales potential of C is of 97 maximum. How many of each product should be made and what should the resultant maximum profit be? Production for A = Number Production for B = Number Production for C= Number Profit Number units units units 4

In the last 6 months, demand for one of Appleby Company's products has dropped off considerably, due mainly to it becoming obsolescent as a result of technological change. Knowing that the equipment used in the manufacture of this product may not be easy to sell, Appleby spent $50,000 on consultants to determine whether it could use the equipment to produce a new product under license by another company. The consultant has determined that this product would have variable production costs of $65 per unit and should sell at a price of $90/unit. The licensing royalty is 5% of gross product revenue. Estimated annual demand is 20,000 units per year. Additional annual operating costs related to this product are $30,000/year (excluding depreciation). Depreciation on the equipment is $15,000. Annual depreciation expense is a: O a. Sunk cost O b. Relevant cost O c. Both sunk and Irrelevant cost Od. Irrelevant cost
Futura Company purchases the 76,000 starters that it installs in its standard line of farm tractors from a supplier for the price of $12.60 per unit. Due to a reduction in output, the company now has idle capacity that could be used to produce the starters rather than buying them from an outside supplier. However, the company's chief engineer is opposed to making the starters because the production cost per unit is $13.70 as shown below: Direct materials Direct labor Supervision Depreciation Variable manufacturing overhead Rent Total product cost Per Unit $ 6.00 3.50 1.80 1.40 0.60 0.40 $ 13.70 Financial advantage Total $ 221,600 $ 136,800 $ 106,400 If Futura decides to make the starters, a supervisor would have to be hired (at a salary of $136,800) to oversee production. However, the company has sufficient idle tools and machinery such that no new equipment would have to be purchased. The rent charge above is based on space utilized in the plant. The total rent on the plant is $86,000…
Bacolod Company, which manufactures and sells a single product for P15.00, is operating at full capacity of 20,000 units per month. The following unit costs relate to the manufacture of this product: Manufacturing: Direct materials Direct labor Variable overhead Fixed overhead P 2.00 4.00 1.00 1.80 Selling and administrative: Variable Fixed 3.00 1.20 The company has 1,000 units left over from last year's production which have small defects and which will have to be sold at a reduced price as part of a clearance sale provided that it will be refurbished at a cost of P1.50 per unit and there will be a need to purchase a special tool costing P 2,000 which will have no other use other than the refurbishing. Also, 50% of variable selling and administrative costs would have to be incurred to sell the defective units. The sale of the left over might affect the company's regular sale which may decrease by 500 units. Another option that Bacolod has is to simply sell the 1,000 units at its scrap…

Lakeside Incorporated produces a product that currently sells for $46.80 per unit. Current production costs per unit include direct materials, $13; direct labor, $15; varlable overhead, $6.50; and fixed overhead, $6.50. Product engineering has determined that a certain part of the product conversion process could be outsourced. Raw material costs would not be affected, but direct labor and variable overhead costs would be reduced by 30%. No other opportunity is currently feasible for unused production capacity. Required: a. What would be the net cost advantage or disadvantage if Lakeview decided to outsource part of the conversion process at a cost of $5.20 per unit? Note: Do not round your Intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places. b. Should Lakeside outsource part of the conversion process at a cost of $5.20 per unit? a. b. Should Lakeside outsource conversion process at this cost?
Snipe Company has been purchasing a component, Part Q, for $19.20 a unit. Snipe is currently operating at 70% of capacity and no significant increase in production is anticipated in the near future.

Goshford Company produces a single product and has capacity to produce 100,000 units per month. Costs to produce its current sales of 80,000 units follow. The regular selling price of the product is $100 per unit. Management is approached by a new customer who wants to purchase 20,000 units of the product for $75 per unit. If the order is accepted, there will be no additional fixed manufacturing overhead and no additional fixed selling and administrative expenses. The customer is not in the company’sregular selling territory, so there will be a $5 per unit shipping expense in addition to the regular variable selling and administrative expenses. Determine whether management should accept or reject the new business.
Burchard Company sold 41,000 units of its only product for $17.20 per unit this year. Manufacturing and selling the product required $312,000 of fixed costs. Its per unit variable costs follow. Direct materials Direct labor Variable overhead costs Variable selling and administrative costs For the next year, management will use a new material, which will reduce direct materials costs to $1.84 per unit and reduce direct labor costs to $2.16 per unit. Sales, total fixed costs, variable overhead costs per unit, and variable selling and administrative costs per unit will not change. Management is also considering raising its selling price to $21.50 per unit, which would decrease unit sales volume to 36,900 units. Problem 5-5A (Algo) Part 1 Required: 1. Compute the contribution margin per unit from (a) using the new material and (b) using the new material and increasing the selling price. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
