Weston Corporation manufactures a product that is available in both a deluxe and a regular model. The company has made the regular model for years; the deluxe model was introduced several years ago to tap a new segment of the market. Since introduction of the deluxe model, the company’s profits have steadily declined. Sales of the deluxe model have been increasing rapidly. Overhead is applied to products on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the current year, management estimated that $3,080,000 in overhead costs would be incurred and the company would produce and sell 10,000 units of the deluxe model and 50,000 units of the regular model. The deluxe model requires 2.0 hours of direct labor time per unit, and the regular model requires 1.0 hours. Materials and labor costs per unit are given below:

- Tidwell, Inc., has two plants that manufacture a line of wheelchairs. One is located in Dallas, and the other in Oklahoma City. Each plant is set up as a profit center. During the past year, both plants sold their tilt wheelchair model for $1,782. Sales volume averages 20,000 units per year in each plant. Recently, the Dallas plant reduced the price of the tilt model to $1,584. Discussion with the Dallas manager revealed that the price reduction was possible because the plant had reduced its manufacturing and selling costs by reducing what was called “non-value-added costs.” The Dallas manufacturing and selling costs for the tilt model were $1,386 per unit. The Dallas manager offered to loan the Oklahoma City plant his cost accounting manager to help it achieve similar results. The Oklahoma City plant manager readily agreed, knowing that his plant must keep pace—not only with the Dallas plant but also with competitors. A local competitor had also reduced its price on a similar model,…arrow_forwardTidwell, Inc., has two plants that manufacture a line of wheelchairs.

The Motel Division owns and operates a line of budget motels located along major highways. Each year, the Motel Division purchases furniture for the motel rooms. Currently, it purchases a basic dresser from an outside supplier for $60. The manager of the Furniture Division has approached the manager of the Motel Division about selling dressers to the Motel Division. The full product cost of a dresser is $29. While the Furniture Division has been operating at capacity (50,000 dressers per year) and selling them for $60 each, it expects to produce and sell only 40,000 dressers for $60 each next year. The Furniture Division incurs variable costs of $16 per dresser. The Motel Division needs 10,000 dressers per year; the Furniture Division can make up to 50,000 dressers per year.
