B & B makes a single product which sells for $20 and for which there is a great demand. The variable cost comprises: $ Direct material 4 Direct labour (2 hours) 6 Variable overhead 2 Total variable cost 12 The workers are currently operating at full capacity and no extra hours is available. A customer approached B & B with a request for the manufacture of a special order for which he is willing to pay $5500.

Lakeside Incorporated produces a product that currently sells for $46.80 per unit. Current production costs per unit include direct materials, $13; direct labor, $15; varlable overhead, $6.50; and fixed overhead, $6.50. Product engineering has determined that a certain part of the product conversion process could be outsourced. Raw material costs would not be affected, but direct labor and variable overhead costs would be reduced by 30%. No other opportunity is currently feasible for unused production capacity. Required: a. What would be the net cost advantage or disadvantage if Lakeview decided to outsource part of the conversion process at a cost of $5.20 per unit? Note: Do not round your Intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places. b. Should Lakeside outsource part of the conversion process at a cost of $5.20 per unit? a. b. Should Lakeside outsource conversion process at this cost?
[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Henna Company produces and sells two products, Carvings and Mementos. It manufactures these products in separate factories and markets them through different channels. They have no shared costs. This year, the company sold 44,000 units of each product. Income statements for each product follow. Sales Variable costs Contribution margin Fixed costs Income 3. Assume that the company expects sales of each product to increase to 58,000 units next year with no change in unit selling price. Prepare a contribution margin income statement for the next year (as shown above with columns for each of the two products). (Round "per unit" answers to 2 decimal places.)

Nutterco, Inc., produces two types of nut butter: peanut butter and cashew butter. Of the two,peanut butter is the more popular. Cashew butter is a specialty line using smaller jars and fewerjars per case. Data concerning the two products follow: Annual overhead costs are listed below. These costs are classified as fixed or variable with respect to the appropriate activity driver. Required:1. Prepare a traditional segmented income statement, using a unit-level overhead rate based ondirect labor hours. Using this approach, determine whether the cashew butter product lineshould be kept or dropped.2. Prepare an activity-based segmented income statement. Repeat the keep-or-drop analysisusing an ABC approach.
Suman Ltd manufactured and sold 1000 electric irons last year at a price of Rs 800 each. The cost structure of electric iron is as follows: Particulars Materials Labour Variable overheads Total marginal cost Factory overheads (fixed) Total Cost Profit Sales Per unit (Rs) 200 100 50 350 200 550 250 800 Due to heavy competition, price has to be reduced to Rs 750 as suggested by the marketing manager. Is it a good idea? Assuming no change in costs, calculate the number of electrical irons that would have to be sold at the new price t ensure the same amount of profit as that of the last year.

Goshford Company produces a single product and has capacity to produce 100,000 units per month. Costs to produce its current sales of 80,000 units follow. The regular selling price of the product is $100 per unit. Management is approached by a new customer who wants to purchase 20,000 units of the product for $75 per unit. If the order is accepted, there will be no additional fixed manufacturing overhead and no additional fixed selling and administrative expenses. The customer is not in the company’sregular selling territory, so there will be a $5 per unit shipping expense in addition to the regular variable selling and administrative expenses. Determine whether management should accept or reject the new business.
Vaughn Co. sells product P-14 at a price of $48 a unit. The per-unit cost data are direct materials $15, direct labour $10, and overhead $16 (75% variable). Vaughn has no excess capacity to accept a special order for 36,400 units, at a discount of 25% from the regular price. Selling costs associated with this order would be $4 per unit. Indicate the net income (loss) that Vaughn would realize by accepting the special order. (Enter loss with a negative sign preceding the number, e.g. -15,000 or parenthesis, e.g. (15,000).) Incremental income (loss) Vaughn Co. should not accept the special order. (327,600)
DK manufactures three products, W, X and Y. Each product uses the same materials and the same type of direct labour but in different quantities. The company currently uses a cost plus basis to determine the selling price of its products. This is based on full cost using an overhead absorption rate per direct labour hour. However, the managing director is concerned that the company may be losing sales because of its approach to setting prices. He thinks that a marginal costing approach may be more appropriate, particularly since the workforce is guaranteed a minimum weekly wage and has a three month notice period.e a) Given the managing director's concern about DK's approach to setting selling prices, discuss the advantages and disadvantages of marginal cost plus pricing AND total cost-plus pricing. The direct costs of the three products are shown below: Product- Budgeted annual production (units) 15,000- 24,000 20,000 $ per unita $ per unite $ per unita Direct materials 354 40 45a…
Futura Company purchases 75,000 starters from a supplier at $11.10 per unit that it installs in farm tractors. Due to a reduction in output, the company now has enough idle capacity to produce the starters rather than buying them from the supplier. However, the company's chief engineer is opposed to making the starters because the production cost per unit is $12.20, as shown below: Direct materials Direct labor Supervision Depreciation Variable manufacturing overhead Rent Total product cost Per Unit $ 5.00 3.00 1.80 1.46 2.66 2.40 $ 12. 26 Total $ 135,000 $ 185,000 $ 30,000 If Futura decides to make the starters, a supervisor would be hired (at a salary of $135,000) to oversee production. However, the company has sufficient idle tools and machinery such that no new equipment would have to be purchased. The rent charge above is based on space utilized in the plant. The total rent on the plant is $83.000 per period. Required: What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of making the…
