Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company's total fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The customer would like modifications made to product A90 that would increase the variable costs by $4.20 per unit and that would require an investment of $21,000 in special molds that would have no salvage value. This special order would have no effect on the company's other sales. The company has ample spare capacity for producing the special order. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of accepting this special order should be: Brady Corporation has received a request for a special order of 6,000 units of product A90 for $21.20 each. Product A90's unit product cost is $16.20, determined as follows: Direct materials $ 6.10 Direct labor 4.20 Variable manufacturing overhead 2.30 Fixed manufacturing overhead 3.60 Unit product cost $ 16.20

Manufacturers Inc. (MI) currently has a labor force of 10, which can produce 600 units per period. The labor cost is now $5000 per period per employee. The company has a long-standing rule that does not allow it to make use of any overtime. In addition, the product cannot be subcontracted, due to the specialized nature of the machinery that MI uses to produce it. As a result, MI can only increase/decrease production by hiring or laying off employees. The cost is $10000 to hire or lay off an employee. Inventory carrying costs are $200 per unit for any unsold items at the end of the period. The inventory level at the beginning of period 1 is 400 units. The forecast demand is 700 in period 1,600 in period 2,450 in period 3, 250 in period 4,500 in period 5, and 550 in period 6. a.) Compute the costs of the Chase Demand Strategy. b.) Compute the costs of the Level Strategy c.) Compare the costs of the two strategies. Which one is superior?

To make the parts in-house, the firm must invest $50,000 in capital equipment, and the firm estimates that it costs $8 per piece to make the parts in-house. Assuming that cost is the only criterion, use breakeven analysis to determine whether the firm should make or buy the item. 1. What is the breakeven quantity? 2. Should the manufacturer Make or Buy? 3. What is the cost savings using your decision in number 2 (above)? Show the total cost for each scenario then the savings amount.
