Alton Inc. is working at full production capacity producing 25,000 units of a uniqueproduct. Manufacturing costs per unit for the product are as follows:Direct materials$ 6Direct labor5Manufacturing overhead7Total manufacturing cost per unit$18The per-unit manufacturing overhead cost is based on a $4 variable cost per unit and$75,000 fixed costs. The nonmanufacturing costs, all variable, are $6 per unit, and thesales price is $31 per unit.Sports Headquarters Company (SHC) has asked Alton to produce 6,000 units of amodification of the new product. This modification would require the samemanufacturing processes. However, because of the nature of the proposed sale, theestimated nonmanufacturing costs per unit are only $3 (not $6). Alton would sell themodified product to SHC for $21 per unit.Required1-a. Calculate the contribution margin for 6,000 units for both the current and specialorder.1-b. Should Alton produce the special order for SHC?2. Suppose that Alton Inc. had been working at less than full capacity to produce20,500 units of the product when SHC made the offer. What is the minimum price perunit that Alton should accept for the modified product under these conditions?

Variable cost is the production cost that will change with the change of production level of the…

XYZ company can manufacture their own products and sells them. They are able to control the demand by changing the price that is determined by the equation below. The company is thinking of maximizing their profit. The fixed cost is $1,000 per month and the variable cost is $40 per unit. Find the number of units that must be manufactured and sold monthly to maximize profit. (Demand D in the equation is monthly) Hint: Profit = Total Revenue - Total Cost 2,700 5,000 p = $38 + D for D > 1 D2 1 Add file

At what quantity of bags will profits be maximized? A Use the profit maximizing rule, MR ≥ MC, buy 300 bags. B Use the profit maximizing rule, MR ≥ MC, buy 200 bags. C Use Qb = F/(MR-AVC) where Qb is the breakeven quantity to be determined, the optimal quantity of bags is 300. D Use Qb = F/(MR-AVC) where Qb is the breakeven quantity to be determined, the optimal quantity of bags is 200.
