- Middle Industries produces a sensor for use in manufacturing. It produces the sensor in a plant with an annual practical capacity of 75,000 units. The variable cost of the sensor is $185.00 per unit, and the fixed costs of the plant are $12,375,000 annually. Current annual demand is 55,000 sensors. Middle Industries bought the plant because it was close to its other manufacturing facilities and was available for sale when they were searching for a location. Required: What cost per sensor should the cost system report to facilitate management decision making? What is the cost of excess capacity? What cost per sensor would the cost system report if the smallest manufacturing plant that could be built was able to produce 75,000 sensors? What would be the cost of excess capacity?arrow_forwardOman Chips company have noticed that the demand of their products increased in last few quarters. The company has decided to establish one production facility in Dhank, which will not only cover the demand of Al Dhahira region but also Al Buriami and some parts of Al Dakhiliya.

They currently purchase 100 logs per day, and each log requires 1.5 labor hours to process. They believe that they can hire a professional buyer who can buy better-quality log at the same cost. If this is the case, they can increase their production to 480 crates per 100 logs. Their total labor hours, on the other hand, will increase by an additional 2 hours per day (this is due to the additional logistics operations needed with the professional buyer). Given below are the cost per component in the system, which includes the labor cost, material cost, capital cost, and energy and utility cost.

A large chip producer has asked Boardman to build a new gas production facility close to an existing semiconductor plant. Once the new gas plant is in place, Boardman will be the exclusive supplier for that semiconductor fabrication plant for the subsequent 10 years. Boardman is considering one of two plant designs. The first is Boardman's "standard" plant which will cost $38.8 million to build. The second is for a "custom" plant which will cost $53.4 million to build. The custom plant will allow Boardman to produce the highly specialized gases required for an emergency semiconductor manufacturing process. Boardman estimates that its client will order $12.8 million of product per year if the standard plant is constructed, but if the custom design is put in place, Boardman expects to sell $17.1 million worth of product annually to its client.
