Question
E7-6 Jobs, Inc. has recently started the manufacture of Tri-Robo, a three-wheeled robot
that can scan a home for fi res and gas leaks and then transmit this information to a mobile
phone. The cost structure to manufacture 20,000 Tri-Robos is as follows.
Cost
Direct materials ($50 per robot) $1,000,000
Direct labor ($40 per robot) 800,000
Variable
Allocated fi xed overhead ($30 per robot) 600,000
Total $2,520,000
Jobs is approached by Tienh Inc., which offers to make Tri-Robo for $115 per unit or $2,300,000.
Instructions
(a) Using incremental analysis, determine whether Jobs should accept this offer under
each of the following independent assumptions.
(1) Assume that $405,000 of the fi xed overhead cost can be reduced (avoided).
(2) Assume that none of the fi xed overhead can be reduced (avoided). However, if
the robots are purchased from Tienh Inc., Jobs can use the released productive
resources to generate additional income of $405,000.
(b) Describe the qualitative factors that might affect the decision to purchase the robots
from an outside supplier.

Each year it produces 16,000 of its model HI-360 units. This model used two bearings, which the company purchases from an outside vendor. A review of accounting and usage records reveals the following information: labor for installing the bearings = $8 per generator; per-unit cost of bearings = $25; delivery charges per order = $5; processing costs per order = $6; mailing expenses per order = $2; and the estimated cost of carrying one bearing in inventory for the entire year = 35 cents. GRU also found that on average four days elapse between the time an order is placed and the time items are received. Required a. Compute the economic order quantity. b. Compute the reorder point. Assume that the HI-360 model is manufactured for 350 days each year.arrow_forward
