Black Diamond Company produces snow skis. Each ski requires 3 pounds of carbon fiber. The company’s management predicts that 5,500 skis and 6,500 pounds of carbon fiber will be in inventory on June 30 of the current year and that 155,000 skis will be sold during the next (third) quarter. A set of two skis sells for $350. Management wants to end the third quarter with 4,000 skis and 4,500 pounds of carbon fiber in inventory. Carbon fiber can be purchased for $20 per pound. Each ski requires 0.4 hours of direct labor at $25 per hour. Variable overhead is applied at the rate of $13 per direct labor hour. The company budgets fixed overhead of $1,787,000 for the quarter. Prepare the third-quarter production budget for skis. BLACK DIAMOND COMPANY Production Budget (in units) Third Quarter Required units of available production Units to be manufactured
Hyperion, Inc. currently sells its latest high-speed colour printer, the Hyper 500, for $371. It plans to lower the price to $318 next year. Its cost of goods sold for the Hyper 500 is $212 per unit, and this year's sales are expected to be 21,000 units. a. Suppose that, if Hyperion drops the price to $318 immediately, it can increase this year's sales by 27% to 26,670 units. What would be the incremental impact on this year's EBIT of such a price drop? b. Suppose that, for each printer sold, Hyperion expects additional sales of $78 per year on ink cartridges for the three years, and Hyperion has a gross profit margin of 61% on ink cartridges. What is the incremental impact on EBIT for the next three years of a price drop this year?
Anti-Corona, a distributor of facial mask, predicts that it will purchase 306,000 masks next year. Anti-Corona estimates that 25,500 masks will be required each month. A supplier quotes a price of $10 per facial mask. The supplier also offers a special discount option: If all 306,000 masks are purchased at the start of the year, a discount of 3% off the $10 price will be given. Anti-Corona can invest its cash at 12% per year. It costs Anti-Corona $300 to place each purchase order. (a)What is the opportunity cost of interest forgone from purchasing all 306,000 units at the start of the year instead of in 12 monthly purchases of 25,500 units per order? (b) Should Anti-Corona purchase 306,000 units at the start of the year or 25,500 units each month? Show your calculations with reasons 4(c) The company is a multinational company with many branches in different countries around the world. The 12% for return on cash is based on expected return of cash in US. The company is planning to…
FAE Technologies is deciding whether it should begin production of a new toy robot. It has manufactured children’s toys before but nothing as advanced as its latest robot so historical data is at a minimum. The company believes that they can secure the materials for manufacture for between $65-85 per unit and labor costs would be between $15-25 per unit. Management’s expectations are that materials will cost $70 per unit and labor $25 per unit and that 800 units will be sold monthly. Should FAE decide to manufacture the robots in-house, maintenance of the factory machine would cost $15,000 per month. However, management has found that another alternative is for the company to outsource the labor for a flat rate of $35 per unit. The company expects to sell between 750-1000 units per month initially at a price of $149. Provide recommendations for FAE technologies that will maximize profit. Also include base, worst, and best case scenario calculations and provide a scenario summary. Be…
RG Motors has been approached by a new customer with an offer to purchase 5,000 units of its hand-free, Wi-Fi-enabled automotive model – the SMART, at a price of RM18,000 per automobile.
