Materials used by the Instrument Division of Ziegler Inc. are currently
purchased from outside suppliers at a cost of $1,350 per unit. However,
the same materials are available from the Components Divison. The
Components Division has unused capacity and can produce the
materials needed by the Instrument Division at a variable cost of $900
per unit.
a. If a transfer price of $1,000 per unit is established and 75,000
units of materials are transferred, with no reduction in the
Components Division's current sales, how much would Ziegler
Inc.'s total operating income increase?
b. How much would the Instrument Division's operating income
increase?
c. How much would the components Division's operating income
increase?

- Make or Buy Desert Industries manufactures 5,000 units of Part X300 each month for use in production. The facilities now being used to produce Part X300 have fixed monthly overhead costs of $75,000, and a theoretical capacity to produce 7,000 units per month. If Desert were to buy Part X300 from an outside supplier, the facilities would be idle and 80% of the fixed costs would continue to be incurred. There are no alternative uses for the production facilities. The variable production costs of Part X300 are $34 per unit. Fixed overhead is allocated based on planned production levels. If Desert Industries continues to use 5,000 units of Part X300 each month, it would realize a net benefit by purchasing Part X300 from an outside supplier only if the supplier's unit price is less than what amount? $0 Checkarrow_forwardEuclid Corporation processes a patented chemical, P-1, and produces two outputs, P-11 and P-12. In August, the costs to process P-1 are $144,000 for materials and $288,000 for conversion costs. P-11 has a sales value of $640,000 and P-12 has a sales value of $160,000. Required Using the net realizable value method, assign costs to P-11 and P- 12 for August.arrow_forwardGunston Processing produces two products, ALT-1 and ALT-2, from a batch using a single raw material, ALT-O. Both products require further processing before they be can be sold. A batch of ALT-1 can be sold for $150,000 after processing costs of $30,000. A batch of ALT-2 can be sold for $240,000 after further processing. The cost of ALT-0 is $200,000 for a batch. Using the estimated net realizable value method, a joint cost of $120,000 was allocated to ALT-2 for a batch. Required: Compute the separable processing cost for a batch of ALT-2.

- Benitez Company currently outsources a relay switch that is a component in one of its products. The switches cost $40 each. The company is considering making the switches internally at the following projected annual production costs: Unit-level material cost $ 8 Unit-level labor cost $ 7 Unit-level overhead $ 6 Batch-level set-up cost (4,000 units per batch) $ 30,000 Product-level supervisory salaries $ 40,000 Allocated facility-level costs $ 25,000 The company expects an annual need for 4,000 switches. If the company makes the product, it will have to utilize factory space currently being leased to another company for $2,000 a month. If the company decides to make the parts, total costs will be: Multiple Choice a.$18,000 more than if the switches are purchased. b.$43,000 more than if the switches are purchased. c.$22,000 less than if the switches are purchased. d.$25,000 less than if the switches are purchased.arrow_forwardZycon has produced 10,000 units of partially finished Product A. These units cost $15,000 to produce, and they can be sold to another manufacturer for $20,000. Instead, Zycon can process the units further and produce finished Products X, Y, and Z. Processing further will cost an additional $22,000 and will yield total revenues of $35,000. Place an X in the appropriate column to identify whether the item is relevant or irrelevant to the sell or process further decision.arrow_forwardThe materials used by the North Division of Horton Company are currently purchased from outside suppliers at $29 per unit. These same materials are produced by Horton’s South Division. The South Division can produce the materials needed by the North Division at a variable cost of $14 per unit.

- Corey Corporation manufactures joint products W and X. During a recent period, joint costs amounted to $320,000 in the production of 25,000 gallons of W and 60,000 gallons of X. Both products will be processed beyond the split-off point, giving rise to the following data: W X Separable processing costs $ 45,000 $ 150,000 Sales price (per gallon) if processed beyond split-off $ 15 $ 13 What would be the joint cost allocated to X under the net-realizable-value method ?

The quoted external price in industry publications from a supplier near Eastern is $200 per ton plus transportation. It costs $20 per ton to transport the goods to Western. Eastern's actual market cost per ton to buy the direct materials to make the transferred product is $100. Actual per ton direct labor is $50. Other actual costs of storage and handling are $40.
