Combat Fire, Inc. manufactures steel cylinders and nozzles for two models of fire extinguishers: (1) a home fire extinguisher and (2) commercial fire extinguisher. The home model is a high-volume (54,000 units), half-gallon cylinder that holds 2 1/2 pounds of multi- purpose dry chemical at 480 PSI. The commercial model is a low-volume (10,200 units), two-gallon cylinder that holds 10 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 390 PSI. Both products require 1.5 hours of direct labor for completion. Therefore, total annual direct labor hours are 96,300 or (1.5 hours x (54,000 + 10.200)). Estimated annual manufacturing overhead is $ 1.585,316. Thus, the predetermined overhead rate is $ 16.46 or ($ 1,585,316 + 96,300) per direct labor hour. The direct materials cost per unit is $18.50 for the home model and $26.50 for the commercial model. The direct labor cost is $19 per unit for both the home and the commercial models. The company's managers identified six activity cost pools and related cost drivers and accumulated overhead by cost pool as follow Estimated Use of Drivers by Product Estimated Use of Activity Cost Pools Cost Drivers Estimated Overhead Cost Drivers Home Commercial Receiving Pounds $ 90,450 335,000 215,000 120,000 Forming Machine hours 150,850 35,000 27,000 8.000 Assembling Number of parts 401.450 217,000 165.000 52.000 Testing Number of tests 52,020 25,500 15,500 10.000 Painting Gallons 63,096 5,258 3,680 1,578 Packing and shipping Pounds 827,450 335,000 215.000 120,000 $1.585,316

The cost structure to manufacture 19,900 RecRobos is as follows:   Cost Direct materials ($45 per robot) $895,500 Direct labor ($31 per robot) 616,900 Variable overhead ($8 per robot) 159,200 Allocated fixed overhead ($23 per robot) 457,700 Total $2,129,300 Waterway is approached by Cinrich Inc., which offers to make RecRobo for $83 per unit or $1,651,700.  Using incremental analysis, determine whether Waterway should accept this offer under this following independent assumption: (see attachement). In attachement: see dropdown options. Please don't forget to answer: should the offer be accepted or not.

Glassworks makes products for the sandblasting industry. One of the products they make is bags of high-grade sandblasting media that is made from a combination of quartz-sand and recycled ground-glass (cullet). Standard costs and quantities to produce one bag of sandblasting media are as follows:                           Quantity          Cost Quartz-sand    20 kg               $4.00 Cullet               5 kg                $3.00   80,000 bags of sandblasting media were produced.

Youngstown Glass Company manufactures three types of safety plate glass: large, medium, and small. All three products have high demand. Thus, Youngstown Glass is able to sell all the safety glass that it can make. The production process includes an autoclave operation, which is a pressurized heat treatment. The autoclave is a production bottleneck. Total fixed costs are $160,000 for the company as a whole. In addition, the following information is available about the three products:   Large   Medium   Small   Unit selling price $353    $253    $133    Unit variable cost (278)   (207)   (117)   Unit contribution margin $ 75    $ 46    $ 16    Autoclave hours per unit 6    4    2    Total process hours per unit 12    8    6    Budgeted units of production 2,600    2,600    2,600    a.  Determine the contribution margin by glass type and the total company operating income for the budgeted units of production.   Large      Medium      Small      Total      Units…

California Circuits Company (3C) manufactures a variety of components. Its Valley plant specializes in two electronic components used in circuit boards. These components serve the same function and perform equally well. The difference in the two products is the raw material. The XL-D chip is the older of the two components and is made with a metal that requires a wash prior to assembly. Originally, the plant released the wastewater directly into a local river. Several years ago, the company was ordered to treat the wastewater before its release, and it installed relatively expensive equipment. While the equipment is fully depreciated, annual operating expenses of $260,000 are still incurred for wastewater treatment.   Two years ago, company scientists developed an alloy with all of the properties of the raw materials used in XL-D that generates no wastewater. Some prototype components using the new material were produced and tested and found to be indistinguishable from the old…

O Hedwig Optical makes three models of binoculars: Travel, Sport, and Pro. The models differ by the size of the casing and the quality of the optics. The binoculars are produced in two departments. The Assembly Department purchases components from vendors and assembles them into binoculars. The Travel and Sport models are complete and ready for sale after completing the assembly process. The Pro model undergoes further processing in the Calibration Department, which is actually just a small area in the same building as the Assembly Department. Conversion costs in both the Assembly Department and Calibration Department are based on the number of units produced. There are never any work-in-process inventories. Data for production in January are shown in the following table: Units produced Materials cost Conversion costs Assembly Calibration Total conversion costs Travel Sport Pro Total 35,000 $ 1,645,000 Cost Per Unit $ 440,000 44,400 $ 484,400 Travel 17,500 Sport 13,125 4,375 $ 305,000…
