Finch Modems has excess production capacity and is considering the possibility of making and selling paging equipment. Thefollowing estimates are based on a production and sales volume of 1,600 pagers.Unit-level manufacturing costs are expected to be $26. Sales commissions will be established at $1.60 per unit. The current facility-level costs, including depreciation on manufacturing equipment ($66,000), rent on the manufacturing facility ($56,000), depreciationon the administrative equipment ($13,800), and other fixed administrative expenses ($74,950), will not be affected by the production ofthe pagers. The chief accountant has decided to allocate the facility-level costs to the existing product (modems) and to the newproduct (pagers) on the basis of the number of units of product made (i.e., 5,600 modems and 1,600 pagers).Requireda. Determine the per-unit cost of making and selling 1,600 pagers. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 3decimal places.)b. Assuming the pagers could be sold at a price of $40 each, should Finch make the pagers?Cost per unitb. Should Finch make the pagers?$No55.271

The Knot manufactures men’s neckwear at its Spartanburg plant. The Knot is considering implementing a JIT production system. The following are the estimated costs and benefits of JIT production: a. Annual additional tooling costs $250,000 annually. b. Average inventory would decline by 80% from the current level of $1,000,000. c. Insurance, space, materials-handling, and setup costs, which currently total $400,000 annually, would decline by 20%. d. The emphasis on quality inherent in JIT production would reduce rework costs by 25%. The Knot currently incurs $160,000 in annual rework costs. e. Improved product quality under JIT production would enable The Knot to raise the price of its product by $2 per unit. The Knot sells 100,000 units each year. The Knot’s required rate of return on inventory investment is 15% per year. Q. Suppose The Knot implements JIT production at its Spartanburg plant.

A machine part is manufactured at a unit cost of 40¢ for material and 15¢ for direct labor. An investment of $500,000 in tooling is required. The order calls for 3 million pieces. Halfway through the order, managers learn that a new method of manufacture can be put into effect that will reduce the unit costs to 34¢ for material and 10¢ for direct labor—but it will require $100,000 for additional tooling. This tooling will not be useful for future orders. Other costs are allocated at 2.5 times the direct labor cost. What, if anything, should be done?
