ECQ Inc. is in the process of completing labor negotiations for the coming year. Part of these negotiations call for an increase in the base wage rate for direct labor from P10 to P12 per hour, with a corresponding increase in fringe benefits.  At present, fringe benefits amount to 35% of total wages, and this percentage will remain unchanged with the new contract.  The present labor standards call for 8 direct labor hours per unit of output.  Other conversion costs amount to P40 per unit, of which 75% is for variable costs.  Materials costs amount to $8 per unit.  Administrative costs are fixed and amount to P10 per unit at the present production level.  Products are sold with a gross margin of 30% on sales.   Compute the new selling price to be charged if there is no increase in productivity as a result of the new labor contract.

Which costing method, absorption or variable, yields the higher income when 320 workstations are…

Using the data below, estimate the direct labor costs per unit for 2021. Consider carefully the labor effort required, on average, to get one unit of sale. Selling price per unit is $70. Ending inventory each year is zero. Production capacity is #20,000 per year. Inflation is zero. It is a several week warranty.

A company is currently using a supplier to make required components. The supplier changes an annual setup cost of $5,000 regardless of the number of parts the company purchases in a single year. In addition to this annual setup fee, the supplier uses the following pricing scheme: # of units $/unit 1- 100 $1,000 each 101 - 500 $800 each 501 - 750 $600 each 751 or more $500 each The company is now exploring the possibility of producing the same component in-house. The company expects to need more than 750 units per year for the next 5 years. The following information describes their in-house production solution: The annual Capital Recover & Return for the needed equipment = $300,000 per year Material Cost per unit = $250 Annual Operation and Maintenance Costs = $100,000 Annual Labor Costs = $150,000 Annual Overhead Costs = $50,000 Question: What is the Breakeven Quantity for this Make / Buy Decision?
