CVP computations. Garrett Manufacturing sold 410,000 units of its product for $68 per unit in 2017. Variable cost per unit is $60, and total fixed costs are $1,640,000.
- 1. Calculate (a) contribution margin and (b) operating income.
Required
- 2. Garrett’s current manufacturing process is labor intensive. Kate Schoenen, Garrett’s production manager, has proposed investing in state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, which will increase the annual fixed costs to $5,330,000. The variable costs are expected to decrease to $54 per unit. Garrett expects to maintain the same sales volume and selling price next year. How would acceptance of Schoenen’s proposal affect your answers to (a) and (b) in requirement 1?
- 3. Should Garrett accept Schoenen’s proposal? Explain.

this information: Option A to purchase 10,000 units annually at a fixed
price of $8.50 per unit. The cost of placing the order is insignificant as
per the present cost accounting procedure. Option B to manufacture
10,000 units annually with a direct labor cost of $1.50 per unit,
manufacturing overhead cost is allotted at 200% of direct labor (which is
$3.00 per unit) ) and Direct materials cost at $5.00 per unit. Based on

Washington Industries manufactures electronic testing equipment. Washington also installs the equipment at customers’ sites and ensures that it functions smoothly. Additional information on the manufacturing and installation departments is as follows (capacities are expressed in terms of the number of units of electronic testing equipment): Washington manufactures only 250 units per year because the installation department has only enough capacity to install 250 units. The equipment sells for $55,000 per unit (installed) and has direct material costs of $30,000. All costs other than direct material costs are fixed.
