Harcourt Manufacturing (HM) has the capacity to produce 11,800 fax machines per year. HM currently produces and sells 8,800 units per year. The fax machines normally sell for $280 each. Modem Products has offered to buy 3,800 fax machines from HM for $150 each. Unit-level costs associated with manufacturing the fax machines are $51 each for direct labor and $76 each for direct materials. Product-level and facility-level costs are $68,000 and $83,000, respectively. How much would profit increase (decrease) if HM accepted this special order?
Guthrie Generators manufactures a solenoid that it uses in several of its products. Management is considering whether to continue
manufacturing the solenoids or to buy them from an outside source. The following information is available:
1. The company needs 20,000 solenoids per year. The solenoids can be purchased from an outside supplier at a cost of $15 per unit.
2. The unit cost of manufacturing the solenoids is $20, computed as follows:
Direct materials
Direct labor
Factory overhead:
Variable
Fixed
Total manufacturing costs
Cost per unit ($400,000 ÷ 20,000 units)
3. If the company decides not to manufacture the solenoids, it will eliminate all of the raw materials and direct labor costs but only 75
percent of the variable factory overhead costs.
4. If the solenolds are purchased from the outside source, machinery used in the production of solenoids will be sold at its book value.
Accordingly, no gain or loss will be recognized. The sale of this machinery would also eliminate $5,000…
Carreker, Inc., has a number of divisions, including the Alamosa Division, producer of surgical blades, and the Tavaris Division, a manufacturer of medical instruments.

Variable product cost: $ 9.70
Fixed cost: 5.50
Total product cost: $15.20
Tavaris needs 15,000 units of the 2.6 cm blade per year. Alamosa Division is at full capacity (90,000 units of the blade).
Required:
1. If Carreker, inc. has a transfer pricing policy that requires transfer at market price, what would the transfer price be? Do you suppose that Alamosa and Tavaris divisions would choose to transfer at that price?
2. Now suppose that Carreker, Inc. allows negotiated transfer pricing and that Alamosa Division can avoid $1.75 of selling and distribution expense by selling to Tavaris Division. Which division sets the minimum…

- Carltons Kitchens makes two types of pasta makers: Strands and Shapes. The company expects to manufacture 70,000 units of Strands, which has a per-unit direct material cost of $10 and a per-unit direct labor cost of $60. It also expects to manufacture 30.000 units of Shapes, which has a per-unit material cost of $15 and a per-unit direct labor cost of $40. It is estimated that Strands will use 140,000 machine hours and Shapes will require 60,000 machine hours. Historically, the company has used the traditional allocation method and applied overhead at a rate of $21 per machine hour. It was determined that there were three cost pools, and the overhead for each cost pool is shown: The cost driver for each cost pool and its expected activity is shown: A. What is the per-unit cost for each product under the traditional allocation method? B.
