- I'm having issues with the problem attached. Thank youarrow_forwardsarrow_forwardTufStuff, Inc., sells a wide range of drums, bins, boxes, and other containers that are used in the chemical industry. One of the company’s products is a heavy-duty corrosion-resistant metal drum, called the WVD drum, used to store toxic wastes. Production is constrained by the capacity of an automated welding machine that is used to make precision welds. A total of 2,000 hours of welding time is available annually on the machine. Because each drum requires 0.4 hours of welding machine time, annual production is limited to 5,000 drums. At present, the welding machine is used exclusively to make the WVD drums. The accounting department has provided the following financial data concerning the WVD drums: WVD Drums Selling price per drum $ 149.00 Cost per drum: Direct materials $52.10 Direct labor ($18 per hour) 3.60 Manufacturing overhead 4.50 Selling and administrative expense 29.80 90.00 Margin per drum $ 59.00 Management…arrow_forward
- Vikrambhaiarrow_forwardCPT incorporated is a local manufacturer of conveyor systems. Last year, CPT sold over $2 million worth of conveyor systems that netted the company $100,000 in profits. Raw materials and labor are CPT's biggest expenses. Spending on structural steel alone amounted to over $500,000, or 25 percent of total sales. In an effort to reduce costs, CPT now uses an online procurement procedure that is best described as a first-price, sealed-bid auction. The bidders in these auctions utilize the steel for a wide variety of purposes. ranging from art to skyscrapers. This suggests that bidders value the steel independently, although it is perceived that bidder valuations are evenly distributed between $7,000 and $26,000. You are the purchasing manager at CPT and are bidding on three tons of six-inch hot-rolled channel steel against four other bidders Your company values the three tons of channel steel at $18,000.

Knowing that the equipment used in the manufacture of this product may not be easy to sell, Appleby spent $50,000 on consultants to determine whether it could use the equipment to produce a new product under license by another company. The consultant has determined that this product would have variable production costs of $65 per unit and should sell at a price of $90/unit. The licensing royalty is 5% of gross product revenue. Estimated annual demand is 20,000 units per year. Additional annual operating costs related to this product are $30,000/year (excluding depreciation). Depreciation on the equipment is $15,000. Annual depreciation expense is a: O a. Sunk cost O b. Relevant cost O c. Both sunk and Irrelevant cost Od. Irrelevant costarrow_forward
- Jupiter Game Company manufactures pocket electronic games. Last year Jupiter sold 25,000 games at $25 each. Total costs amounted to $525,000, of which $150,000 were considered fixed costs. In an attempt to improve its product, the company is considering replacing a component part that has a cost of $2.50 with a new and better part costing $4.50 per unit in the coming year. A new machine also would be needed to increase plant capacity. The machine would cost $18,000 with a useful life of six years and no salvage value. The company uses straight-line depreciation on all plant assets.

(TIPI) is a diversified industrial-cleaner processing company. The company's Dargan plant produces two products: a table cleaner and a floor cleaner from a common set of chemical inputs (CDG). Each week, 945,000 ounces of chemical input are processed at a cost of $213,000 into 630,000 ounces of floor cleaner and 315,000 ounces of table cleaner. The floor cleaner has no market value until it is converted into a polish with the trade name FloorShine. The additional processing costs for this conversion amount to $244,200, Floor Shine sells at $20 per 30-ounce bottle. The table cleaner can be sold for $21 per 25-ounce bottle. However, the table cleaner can be converted into two other products by adding 315,000 ounces of another compound (TCP) to the 315,000 ounces of table cleaner. This joint process will yield 315,000 ounces each of table stain remover (TSR) and table polish (TP). The additional processing costs for this process amount to $102,000.

- Hawkins Audio Video, Inc. manufactures digital cameras. Hawkins is considering whether it should outsource production of a part used in the manufacturing of its cameras. 60,000 units of the part were made by Hawkins last year. At this production level, the company incurred the following direct product costs: Direct Materials $250,000 Direct Labor $104,000 Manufacturing Overhead incurred during the same period for production of the part is represented by the following cost behavior equation: y = $0.10x + $50,000. If the part were purchased from an outside supplier, 80% of the total fixed manufacturing overhead cost would continue, and the facilities now being used to make the part could be used to make more units of a product that is in high demand. The additional income from this other product would be $12,600 per year. A supplier has been identified who can sell the part to Hawkins at a price of $7.80 per unit. Which of…arrow_forward2. At the beginning of the month, a supplier of a component used in our product notified us that, because of a minor design improvement, the price will be increased by 10% above the current standard price of $125 per unit. As a result of the improved design, we expect the number of defective components to decrease by 110 units per month. On average, 2,640 units of the component are purchased each month. Defective units are identified prior to use and are not returnable.
