Morrill Company produces two different types of gauges: a density gauge and a thickness gauge. The segmented income statement for a typical quarter follows. Includes depreciation. The density gauge uses a subassembly that is purchased from an external supplier for 25 per unit. Each quarter, 2,000 subassemblies are purchased. All units produced are sold, and there are no ending inventories of subassemblies. Morrill is considering making the subassembly rather than buying it. Unit-level variable manufacturing costs are as follows: No significant non-unit-level costs are incurred. Morrill is considering two alternatives to supply the productive capacity for the subassembly. 1. Lease the needed space and equipment at a cost of 27,000 per quarter for the space and 10,000 per quarter for a supervisor. There are no other fixed expenses. 2. Drop the thickness gauge. The equipment could be adapted with virtually no cost and the existing space utilized to produce the subassembly. The direct fixed expenses, including supervision, would be 38,000, 8,000 of which is depreciation on equipment. If the thickness gauge is dropped, sales of the density gauge will not be affected. Required: 1. Should Morrill Company make or buy the subassembly? If it makes the subassembly, which alternative should be chosen? Explain and provide supporting computations. 2. Suppose that dropping the thickness gauge will decrease sales of the density gauge by 10 percent. What effect does this have on the decision? 3. Assume that dropping the thickness gauge decreases sales of the density gauge by 10 percent and that 2,800 subassemblies are required per quarter. As before, assume that there are no ending inventories of subassemblies and that all units produced are sold. Assume also that the per-unit sales price and variable costs are the same as in Requirement 1. Include the leasing alternative in your consideration. Now, what is the correct decision?
A company manufactures three products, L-Ten, Triol, and Pioze, from a joint process. Each production run costs 12,900. None of the products can be sold at split-off, but must be processed further. Information on one batch of the three products is as follows: Required: 1. Allocate the joint cost to L-Ten, Triol, and Pioze using the net realizable value method. (Round the percentages to four significant digits. Round all cost allocations to the nearest dollar.) 2. What if it cost 2 to process each gallon of Triol beyond the split-off point? How would that affect the allocation of joint cost to the three products?
Assume you are the department B manager for Marleys Manufacturing. Marleys operates under a cost-based transfer structure. Assume you receive the majority of your raw materials from department A, which sells only o department B (they have no outside sales). After calculating the operating income in dollars and operating income in percentage, analyze the following financial information to determine costs that may need further investigation. (Hint: It may be helpful to perform a vertical analysis.)
Materials used by the Instrument Division of Ziegler Inc. are currently purchased from outside suppliers at a cost of 1,350 per unit. However, the same materials are available from the Components Division. The Components Division has unused capacity and can produce the materials needed by the Instrument Division at a variable cost of 900 per unit. a. If a transfer price of 1,000 per unit is established and 75,000 units of materials are transferred, with no reduction in the Components Divisions current sales, how much would Ziegler Inc.s total operating income increase? b. How much would the Instrument Divisions operating income increase? c. How much would the Components Divisions operating income increase?
Calculating Transfer Price Teslum Inc. has a number of divisions, including the Machina Division, a producer of high-end espresso makers, and the Java Division, a chain of coffee shops. Machina Division produces the EXP-100 model espresso maker that can be used by Java Division to create various coffee drinks. The market price of the EXP-100 model is 950, and the full cost of the EXP-100 model is 475. Required: 1. If Teslum has a transfer pricing policy that requires transfer at full cost, what will the transfer price be? Do you suppose that Machina and Java divisions will choose to transfer at that price? 2. If Teslum has a transfer pricing policy that requires transfer at market price, what would the transfer price be? Do you suppose that Machina and Java divisions would choose to transfer at that price? 3. Now suppose that Teslum allows negotiated transfer pricing and that Machina Division can avoid 135 of selling expense by selling to Java Division. Which division sets the minimum transfer price, and what is it? Which division sets the maximum transfer price, and what is it? Do you suppose that Machina and Java divisions would choose to transfer somewhere in the bargaining range?
Garrett Company provided the following information: Common fixed cost totaled 46,000. Garrett allocates common fixed cost to Product 1 and Product 2 on the basis of sales. If Product 2 is dropped, which of the following is true? a. Sales will increase by 300,000. b. Overall operating income will increase by 2,600. c. Overall operating income will decrease by 25,000. d. Overall operating income will not change. e. Common fixed cost will decrease by 27,600.
Computing joint costssales value at split-off and net realizable value methods D.L. Manufacturing Inc.s joint cost of producing 1,000 units of Product A, 500 units of Product B, and 500 units of Product C is 20,000. The unit sales values of the three products at the split-off point are Product A20, Product B200, and Product C160. Ending inventories include 100 units of Product A, 200 units of Product B, and 300 units of Product C. a. Compute the amount of joint cost that would be included in the ending inventory valuation of the three products on the basis of their sales value at split off. b. Assume that Product C can be sold for 200 a unit if it is processed after split-off at a cost of 25 a unit. Compute the amount of joint cost that would be included in the ending inventory valuation of the three products on the basis of their net realizable values.
Morris Industries manufactures and sells three products (AA, BB, and CC). The sales price and unit variable cost for the three products are as follows: Their sales mix s reflected as a ratio of 5:3:2. Annual fixed costs shared by the three products are $25,000 per year. What are total variable costs for Morris with their current product mix? Calculate the number of units of each product that will need to be sold in order for Morris to break even. What is their break-even point in sales dollars? Using an income statement format, prove that this is the break-even point.
Lotts Company produces and sells one product. The selling price is 10, and the unit variable cost is 6. Total fixed cost is 10,000. Required: 1. Prepare a CVP graph with Units Sold as the horizontal axis and Dollars as the vertical axis. Label the break-even point on the horizontal axis. 2. Prepare CVP graphs for each of the following independent scenarios: (a) Fixed cost increases by 5,000, (b) Unit variable cost increases to 7, (c) Unit selling price increases to 12, and (d) Fixed cost increases by 5,000 and unit variable cost is 7.
Venezuela Oil Inc. transports crude oil to its refinery where it is processed into main products gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuel, and by-product base oil. The base oil is sold at the split-off point for $1,000,000 of annual revenue, and the joint processing costs to get the crude oil to split-off are $10,000,000. Additional information includes: Required: Determine the allocation of joint costs using the net realizable value method, rounding the sales value percentages to the nearest tenth of a percent. (Hint: Reduce the amount of the joint costs to be allocated by the amount of the by-product revenue.)
