Rio Mare currently has fixed operating costs of €1,100,000. It sells canned tuna for €1.50 per can, while incurring variable operating costs of €0.65 per can. If the company can invest in better storing technology that would simultaneously raise its fixed costs to €1,200,000 but lower its variable costs to €0.50 per can, what will the impact be on its operating breakeven point in cans of tuna?
Before Coronado could give Langston's Landscape Company an answer, the company received a special order from Benson Building & Supply for 13,500 fireplaces. Benson is willing to pay $67 per fireplace but it wants a special design imbedded into the fireplace that increases cost of goods sold by $55,350. The special design also requires the purchase of a part that costs $5,500 and will have no future use for Coronado Company. Benson Building & Supply will pick up the fireplaces so no shipping costs are involved. Due to capacity limitations, Coronado cannot accept both special orders. Which order should be accepted? Document your decision by preparing an incremental analysis for Benson's order. (Enter loss using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -2,945 or parentheses e.g. (2,945).)
Futura Company purchases the 64,000 starters that it installs in its standard line of farm tractors from a supplier for the price of $12.40 per unit. Due to a reduction in output, the company now has idle capacity that could be used to produce the starters rather than buying them from an outside supplier. However, the company’s chief engineer is opposed to making the starters because the production cost per unit is $13.60 as shown below: Per UnitTotalDirect materials$ 6.00 Direct labor3.20 Supervision1.90$ 121,600Depreciation1.30$ 83,200Variable manufacturing overhead0.70 Rent0.50$ 32,000Total product cost$ 13.60 If Futura decides to make the starters, a supervisor would have to be hired (at a salary of $121,600) to oversee production. However, the company has sufficient idle tools and machinery such that no new equipment would have to be purchased. The rent charge above is based on space utilized in the plant. The total rent on the plant is $83,000 per period. Depreciation is due to…
Make or Buy Decisions “In my opinion, we ought to stop making our own drums and accept that outside supplier’s offer,” said Wim Niewindt, managing director of Antilles Refining, N.V., of Aruba. “At a price of $18 per drum, we would be paying $5 less than it costs us to manufacture the drums in our own plant. Since we use 60,000 drums a year, that would be an annual cost savings of $300,000.” Antilles Refining’s current cost to manufacture one drum is given below (based on 60,000 drums per year): A decision about whether to make or buy the drums is especially important at this time because the equipment being used to make the drums is completely worn out and must be replaced. The choices facing the company are: Alternative 1: Rent new equipment and continue to make the drums. The equipment would be rented for $135,000 per year. Alternative 2: Purchase the drums from an outside supplier at $18 per drum. The new equipment would be more efficient than the equipment that Antilles Refining…
