No portion of the Japanese office expenses is to be allocated to the Indian subsidiary. You are required to: (1) Compute the sale price per bottle to enable to management to realise an estimated 10% profit on sale proceeds in Huston.

Cashion Company produces chemical mixtures for veterinary pharmaceutical companies. Its factory has four mixing lines that mix various powdered chemicals together according to specified formulas. Each line can produce up to 5,000 barrels per year. Each line has one supervisor who is paid 34,000 per year. Depreciation on equipment averages 16,000 per year. Direct materials and power cost about 4.50 per unit. Required: 1. Prepare a graph for each of these three costs: equipment depreciation, supervisors wages, and direct materials and power. Use the vertical axis for cost and the horizontal axis for units (barrels). Assume that sales range from 0 to 20,000 units. 2. Assume that the normal operating range for the company is 16,000 to 19,000 units per year. How would you classify each of the three types of cost?
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?
Roper Furniture manufactures office furniture and tracks cost data across their process. The following are some of the costs that they incur. Classify these costs as fixed or variable costs, and as product costs or period costs. Wood used to produce desks ($125,00 per desk) Production labor used to produce desks ($15 per hour) Production supervisor salary ($45,000 per year) Depreciation on factory equipment ($60,000 per year) Selling and administrative expenses ($45,000 per year) Rent on corporate office ($44,000 per year) Nails, glue, and other materials required to produce desks (varies per desk) Utilities expenses for production facility Sales staff commission (5% of gross sales)
Oakes Inc. manufactured 40,000 gallons of Mononate and 60,000 gallons of Beracyl in a joint production process, incurring 250,000 of joint costs. Oakes allocates joint costs based on the physical volume of each product produced. Mononate and Beracyl can each be sold at the split-off point in a semifinished state or, alternatively, processed further. Additional data about the two products are as follows: An assistant in the companys cost accounting department was overheard saying ...that when both joint and separable costs are considered, the firm has no business processing either product beyond the split-off point. The extra revenue is simply not worth the effort. Which of the following strategies should be recommended for Oakes?
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?
Bolger and Co. manufactures large gaskets for the turbine industry. Bolgers per-unit sales price and variable costs for the current year are as follows: Bolgers total fixed costs aggregate to 360,000. Bolgers labor agreement is expiring at the end of the year, and management is concerned about the effects of a new labor agreement on its break-even point in units. The controller performed a sensitivity analysis to ascertain the estimated effect of a 10-per-unit direct labor increase and a 10,000 reduction in fixed costs. Based on these data, the break-even point would: a. decrease by 1,000 units. b. decrease by 125 units. c. increase by 375 units. d. increase by 500 units.

Gibson Modems has excess production capacity and is considering the possibility of making and selling paging equipment. The following estimates are based on a production and sales volume of 1,800 pagers.Unit-level manufacturing costs are expected to be $28. Sales commissions will be established at $1.80 per unit. The current facility-level costs, including depreciation on manufacturing equipment ($68,000), rent on the manufacturing facility ($58,000), depreciation on the administrative equipment ($14,400), and other fixed administrative expenses ($75,950), will not be affected by the production of the pagers. The chief accountant has decided to allocate the facility-level costs to the existing product (modems) and to the new product (pagers) on the basis of the number of units of product made (i.e., 5,800 modems and 1,800 pagers).Requireda. Determine the per-unit cost of making and selling 1,800 pagers. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Germano Products, Incorporated, has a Pump Division that manufactures and sells a number of products, including a standard pump that could be used by another division in the company, the Pool Products Division, in one of its products. Data concerning that pump appear below: Capacity in units 70,000 Selling price to outside customers $ 77 Variable cost per unit $ 27 Fixed cost per unit (based on capacity) $ 31 The Pool Products Division is currently purchasing 16,000 of these pumps per year from an overseas supplier at a cost of $72 per pump. Assume that the Pump Division is selling all of the pumps it can produce to outside customers. Does there exist a transfer price that would make both the Pump and Pool Products Division financially better off than if the Pool Products Division were to continue buying its pumps from the outside supplier? Multiple Choice Yes, both divisions are always better off regardless of whether the selling division has enough idle…
