Crane Company has decided to introduce a new product. The new product can be manufactured by either a capital-intensive method
or a labor-intensive method. The manufacturing method will not affect the quality of the product. The estimated manufacturing costs
by the two methods are as follows.
Direct materials
Direct labor
Variable overhead
Fixed manufacturing costs
(a)
Crane' market research department has recommended an introductory unit sales price of $40.00. The selling expenses are estimated
to be $622,000 annually plus $2.00 for each unit sold, regardless of manufacturing method.
(b)
Capital-Intensive
$6.00 per unit
$7.00 per unit
$4.00 per unit
Your answer is correct.
$3,200,000
Calculate the estimated break-even point in annual unit sales of the new product if Crane Company uses the:
1. Capital-intensive manufacturing method.
2. Labor-intensive manufacturing method.

Millennium Printers Inc. manufactures color laser printers. Model L-1819 presently sells for $150 and has a total product cost of $120, as follows:
Direct materials
$90
Direct labor
20
Factory overhead
10
Total
$120
It is estimated that the competitive selling price for color laser printers of this type will drop to $140 next year. Millennium Printers wants to establish a target cost to maintain its historical markup percentage on product cost. Engineers have provided the following cost reduction ideas:
Purchase a plastic printer cover with snap-on assembly. This will reduce the amount of direct labor by nine minutes per unit.
Add an inspection step that will add six minutes per unit of direct labor but reduce the materials cost by $3 per unit.
Decrease the cycle time of the injection molding machine from four minutes to three minutes per part. Thirty percent of the direct labor and 45% of the factory overhead is related to running injection molding machines.

- Boxer Production, Inc., is in the process of considering a flexible manufacturing system that will help the company react more swiftly to customer needs. The controller, Mick Morrell, estimated that the system will have a 10-year life and a required return of 10% with a net present value of negative $500,000. Nevertheless, he acknowledges that he did not quantify the potential sales increases that might result from this improvement on the issue of on-time delivery, because it was too difficult to quantify. If there is a general agreement that qualitative factors may offer an additional net cash flow of $150,000 per year, how should Boxer proceed with this Investment?arrow_forwardHudson Corporation is considering three options for managing its data warehouse: continuing with its own staff, hiring an outside vendor to do the managing, or using a combination of its own staff and an outside vendor. The cost of the operation depends on future demand. The annual cost of each option (in thousands of dollars) depends on demand as follows: If the demand probabilities are 0.2, 0.5, and 0.3, which decision alternative will minimize the expected cost of the data warehouse? What is the expected annual cost associated with that recommendation? Construct a risk profile for the optimal decision in part (a).

- how can the changes below affect Mirabel’s overall cost structure. For those changes that are controllable, make a recommendation considering the uncontrollable cost changes. Be certain to consider not only the company’s break-even point, but also the desired margin of safety. If Mirabel purchases the new equipment for $1,200,000, it will increase fixed costs by 10% but will decrease the variable cost per unit for all 3 models by 5%. If Mirabel invests the additional $650,000 in fixed marketing expenses, sales of the Model 301 are expected to increase by 8%. If the projection is that sales will increase by 10% in the coming year. The sales volume remains fixed but there is a 5% increase in variable expenses (materials cost) for the Model 101 and 301, and a 10% increase in variable expenses for Model 201.arrow_forwardSheridan manufactures unpainted furniture for the do-it-yourself market. It currently sells a table for $65. Production costs are $35 variable and $10 fixed. Sheridan is considering staining and sealing the table to sell it for $100.

Several managers and employees from the cost accounting department and the marketing department are also on the team to evaluate the product and determine the cost using a target costing methodology.

- A number of costs are listed below that may be relevant in a decision faced by the management of Bulacan Company. Bulacan normally runs at capacity and the old Model CY1000 machine is the company’s constraint. Management is considering purchasing a new machine, Model CZ4000 and the old one, CY1000 will be sold. The new machine is more efficient and can produce 20% more units than the old one. Demand for Bulacan’s product is greater than what they can supply. If the new machine is purchased, there should be a reduction in maintenance costs however the new machine is very costly and the company will need to borrow money in order to make the purchase. The increase in volume will be large enough to require increases in fixed selling expense, but general administrative expenses will remain unchanged.

Prepare an analysis on a per-unit basis that shows whether Sweet Acacia should sell unfinished or finished bookcases.

Management is considering the future of Product XT, a special rope for hang gliding, that has not been as profitable as planned. Since Product XT is manufactured and marketed independently of the other products, its total costs can be precisely measured. Next year’s plans call for a $200 selling price per 100 yards of XT rope. Its fixed costs for the year are expected to be $270,000, up to a maximum capacity of 700,000 yards of rope. Forecasted variable costs are $140 per 100 yards of XT rope. Required 1. Estimate Product XT’s break-even point in terms of (a) sales units and (b) sales dollars. 2.
