Sandhill has unused productive capacity that is expected to continue indefinitely: management has concluded that some of this capacity could be used to assemble the bikes and sell them at $491 each. Assembling the bikes will increase direct materials by $5 per bike and direct labor by $10 per bike. Additional variable overhead will be incurred at the normal rates, but there will be no additional fixed overhead as a result of assembling the bikes.

Lakeside Inc. produces a product that currently sells for $60 per unit. Current production costs per unit include direct materials, $16; direct labor, $18; variable overhead, $11; and fixed overhead, $11. Product engineering has determined that certain production changes could refine the product quality and functionality. These new production changes would increase material and labor costs by 20% per unit. Lakeside has received an offer from a nonprofit organization to buy 9,200 units at $46 per unit. Lakeside currently has unused production capacity. Required: a. Calculate the effect on Lakeside's operating income of accepting the order from the nonprofit organization. Increase in operating income
Materials used by Ford Company in producing Division A's product are currently purchased from outside suppliers at a cost of $30 per unit. However, the same materials are available from Division B. Division B has unused capacity and can produce the materials needed by Division A at a variable cost of $20 per unit. a. If a transfer price of $25 per unit is established and 60,000 units of material are transferred with no reductions in Division B's current sales, how much would Ford Company's total operating income increase?$fill in the blank 1 b.

Zion Manufacturing had always made its components in-house. However, Bryce Component Works had recently offered to supply one component, K2, at a price of $25 each. Zion uses 10 000 units of Component K2 each year. The cost per unit of this component is as follows: 1 Direct materials Direct labour Variable overhead Fixed overhead Total Refer to the information for Zion Manufacturing. The fixed overhead is an allocated expense; none of it would be eliminated if production of Component K2 stopped. Required: 2 3 $12.00 8.25 4.50 2.00 $26.75 What are the alternatives facing Zion Manufacturing with respect to production of Component K2? List the relevant costs for each alternative. If Zion decides to purchase the component from Bryce, by how much will operating income increase or decrease? Which alternative is better?
Bramble Corp. incurs the following costs to produce 12000 units of a subcomponent: Direct materials $8400 Direct labor 12000 Variable overhead 12000 Fixed overhead 19000 An outside supplier has offered to sell Bramble the subcomponent for $2.15 a unit. No fixed costs are avoidable. If Bramble accepts the offer, it could use the production capacity to produce another product that would generate additional income of $3600. The increase (decrease) in net income from accepting the offer would be O $(3600). $10200. O $(3000). O $3000.

WSM Corporation is considering offering an air shuttle service between Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. It plans to offer four flights every day (excluding certain holidays) for a total of 1,400 flights per year (= 350 days × 4 flights per day). WSM has hired a consultant to determine activity-based costs for this operation. The consultant’s report shows the following: Activity Activity Measure (cost driver) Unit Cost (cost per unit of activity) Flying and maintaining aircraft Number of flights $ 1,800 per flight Serving passengers Number of passengers $ 5 per passenger Advertising and marketing Number of promotions $ 53,000 per promotion WSM estimates the following annual information. With 16 advertising promotions, it will be able to generate demand for 40 passengers per flight at a fare of $235. The lease of the 60-seat aircraft will cost $4,600,000. Other equipment costs will be $2,300,000. Administrative and other marketing costs will be $1,250,000. Required: a. What…
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 $75.00 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’s regular selling territory, so there will be a $5.00 per unit shipping expense in addition to the regular variable selling and administrative expenses. Per Unit Costs at 80,000 Units Direct materials $ 12.50 $ 1,000,000 Direct labor 15.00 1,200,000 Variable manufacturing overhead 10.00 800,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead 17.50 1,400,000 Variable selling and administrative expenses 14.00 1,120,000 Fixed selling and…
Harmony is currently producing 100 units of a necessary component part by incurring P60,000 in direct materials, P12,500 in direct labor, P22,500 in variable overhead, and P15,000 in fixed overhead. Harmony can purchase the component externally for P95,000 and only P2,500 of fixed manufacturing costs cannot be avoided (the rest are avoidable). How much savings will Harmony realize in buying instead of making the component?
A corporation is considering the addition of new automated manufacturing equipment in one of its production departments. Currently, the department produces 50,000 units a year with average unit costs as follows: Direct materials Direct labor (2 hours at $15 per hour) Fixed overhead Both direct materials and direct labor are variable costs. The ratio of unit fixed costs to unit variable costs (direct materials plus direct labor) in the current labor-intensive operation is 25% ($20 $80). The new machinery will increase total fixed overhead costs in the department by $500,000 per year and make production more capital-intensive. Production will double to 100,000 units a year using the same total number of direct labor hours per year as the old labor-intensive operation. Direct materials cost will be unchanged at $50 per unit. Which of the following is the predicted ratio of unit fixed costs to unit variable costs in the new capital-intensive operation (rounded to the nearest 0.00%)? O…
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?
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 Check
Materials used by Ford Company in producing Division A's product are currently purchased from outside suppliers at a cost of $30 per unit. However, the same materials are available from Division B.
