Question
Troy Engines, Limited, manufactures a variety of engines for use in heavy equipment. The company has always produced all of the necessary parts for its engines, including all of the carburetors. An outside supplier has offered to sell one type of carburetor to Troy Engines, Limited, for a cost of $40 per unit. To evaluate this offer, Troy Engines, Limited, has gathered the following information relating to its own cost of producing the carburetor internally:
| Per Unit | 18,000 Units Per Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Direct materials | $ 18 | $ 324,000 |
| Direct labor | 9 | 162,000 |
| Variable manufacturing |
2 | 36,000 |
| Fixed manufacturing overhead, traceable | 9* | 162,000 |
| Fixed manufacturing overhead, allocated | 12 | 216,000 |
| Total cost | $ 50 | $ 900,000 |
*One-third supervisory salaries; two-thirds
Required:
1. Assuming the company has no alternative use for the facilities that are now being used to produce the carburetors, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 18,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?
2. Should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted?
3. Suppose that if the carburetors were purchased, Troy Engines, Limited, could use the freed capacity to launch a new product. The segment margin of the new product would be $180,000 per year. Given this new assumption, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 18,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?
4. Given the new assumption in requirement 3, should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted

Talladega presently produces and sells 133,900 tires for the North American market at a price of $179 per tire. Talladega is evaluating a special order from a European automobile company, Autobahn Motors. Autobahn is offering to buy 19,500 tires for $110.95 per tire. Talladega’s accounting system indicates that the total cost per tire is as follows: Direct materials $54 Direct labor 21 Factory overhead (58% variable) 24 Selling and administrative expenses (40% variable) 28 Total $127 Talladega pays a selling commission equal to 5% of the selling price on North American orders, which is included in the variable portion of the selling and administrative expenses. However, this special order would not have a sales commission. If the order was accepted, the tires would be shipped overseas for an additional shipping cost of $7.56 per tire.

The company's Machine Division has asked the Parts Division to provide it with 6,000 special parts each year. The special parts would require $21 per unit in variable production costs. The Machine Division has a bid from an outside supplier for the special parts at $31.20 per unit. In order to have time and space to produce the special part, the Parts Division would have to cut back production of another part-the QR4 that it presently is producing. The QR4 sells for $40 per unit and requires $20 per unit in variable production costs. Packaging and shipping costs of the QR4 are $2 per unit. Packaging and shipping costs for the new special part would be only $0.50 per unit. The Parts Division is now producing and selling 30,000 units of the QR4 each year. Production and sales of the QR4 would drop by 5% if the new special part is produced for the Machine Division.…arrow_forwardTroy Engines, Limited, manufactures a variety of engines for use in heavy equipment.

- The Compressor Division and the Fabrication Division of Plash Company, which exclusively produces one type of washing machine, respectively, are its two divisions. For the Fabrication Division, which completes the washing machine and sells it to retailers, the Compressor Division makes compressors. The Fabrication Division buys compressors from the Compressor Division. The Fabrication Division will spend $40.00 on a compressor, which is the market price. (Skip updates to the inventory.) It is expected that the fixed costs for the Compressor Division remain constant for orders between 5,000 and 10,000 units. The Fabrication Division's fixed expenses are estimated to be $7.50 per unit at 10,000 units. Compressor's costs per compressor are: Direct materials $15.00 Direct labor $7.25 Variable overhead $3.00 Division fixed costs $7.50 Fabrication's costs per completed air conditioner are: Direct materials $150.00 Direct labor $62.50 Variable overhead $20.00 Division fixed costs $7.50 Assume…arrow_forwardThe Pixels Corporation produces a component used in the manufacture of one of its best-selling products.
