Division A manufactures electronic circuit boards that can be sold to Division B of the same company or to outside customers. Last year, the following activity occurred in Division A: Selling price per circuit board Variable cost per circuit board Number of circuit boards: Produced during the year i Sold to outside customers Sold to Division B $177 $ 114 21,200 15,300 5,900 Sales to Division B were at the same price as sales to outside customers. The circuit boards purchased by Division B were used in an electronic instrument manufactured by that division (one board per instrument). Division B incurred $260 in additional variable cost per instrument and then sold the instruments for $640 each. Required: 1. Calculate the net operating incomes earned by Division A, Division B, and the company as a whole. 2. Assume Division A's manufacturing capacity is 21,200 circuit boards. Next year, Division B wants to purchase 6,900 circuit boards from Division A rather than 5,900. (Circuit boards of this type are not available from outside sources.) From the standpoint of the company as a whole, should Division A sell the 1,000 additional circuit boards to Division B or continue selling them to outside customers?

ElectronPlus manufactures and sells a unique electronic part. Operating results for the first three years of activity were as follows (absorption costing basis): Sales Cost of goods sold: Beginning inventory Add: cost of goods manufactured Goods available for sale Less: ending inventory Cost of goods sold Gross margin Selling and administrative expenses Operating income (loss) Production in units Sales in units. Year 1 $1,033,000 Year 1 59,000 59,000 $ 0 Year 2 69,000 49,000 Year 2 Year 3 $826,400 $1,033,000 Sales dropped by 20% during year 2 due to the entry of several foreign competitors into the market. ElectronPlus had expected sales to remain constant at 59,000 units for the year; production was set at 69,000 units in order to build a buffer against unexpected spurts in demand. By the start of year 3, management could see that spurts in demand were unlikely and that the inventory was excessive. To work off the excessive inventories, ElectronPlus cut back production during year 3,…
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?
Roper Furniture manufactures office furniture and tracks cost data across their process. The following are some of the costs that they incur. Classify these costs as fixed or variable costs, and as product costs or period costs. Wood used to produce desks ($125,00 per desk) Production labor used to produce desks ($15 per hour) Production supervisor salary ($45,000 per year) Depreciation on factory equipment ($60,000 per year) Selling and administrative expenses ($45,000 per year) Rent on corporate office ($44,000 per year) Nails, glue, and other materials required to produce desks (varies per desk) Utilities expenses for production facility Sales staff commission (5% of gross sales)
Suppose that Kicker had the following sales and cost experience (in thousands of dollars) for May of the current year and for May of the prior year: In May of the prior year, Kicker started an intensive quality program designed to enable it to build original equipment manufacture (OEM) speaker systems for a major automobile company. The program was housed in research and development. In the beginning of the current year, Kickers accounting department exercised tighter control over sales commissions, ensuring that no dubious (e.g., double) payments were made. The increased sales in the current year required additional warehouse space that Kicker rented in town. (Round ratios to four decimal places. Round sales dollars computations to the nearest dollar.) Required: 1. Calculate the contribution margin ratio for May of both years. 2. Calculate the break-even point in sales dollars for both years. 3. Calculate the margin of safety in sales dollars for both years. 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Analyze the differences shown by your calculations in Requirements 1, 2, and 3.

The Blade Division of Dana Company produces hardened steel blades. Approximately one-third of the Blade Division's output is sold to the Lawn Products Division of Dana; the remainder is sold to outside customers. Blade Division's estimated sales and cost data for the year ending June 30th are as follows: Sales to Lawn Products Division Sales to Outsiders Revenue Variable costs Fixed costs Gross margin Unit sales $ 40,500 27,000 7,200 $ 6,300 27,000 $ 108,000 54,000 37,500 $ 16,500 54,000 The Lawn Products Division has an opportunity to purchase, on a continual basis, 27,000 blades (of identical quality) from an outside supplier, at a cost of $1.80 per unit. Assume that the Blade Division cannot sell any additional products to outside customers. Assume, too, that there are no short-term avoidable fixed costs. Based solely on short-term financial considerations, should Dana allow its Lawn Products Division to purchase the blades from the outside supplier, and why? Multiple Choice O No,…
