Cutrate Furniture approached Jansen about buying 1,200 shelves for bookcases it is building and is willing to pay $26 for each shelf. No packaging will be required for the bulk order. Jansen usually packages shelves for Home Depot at a price of $1.50 per shell. The $1.50 per-shelf cost is included in the unit variable cost of $27, with annual fixed costs of $320.000. However, the $130 packaging cost will not apply in this case. The fixed costs will be unaffected by the special order and the company has the capacity to accept the order. Based on this information, what would be the profit if Jansen accepts the special order? A. Profits will decrease by $1,200. B. Profits will increase by $31,200. C. Profits will increase by $600. D. Profits will increase by $7,200.Deuce Sporting Goods manufactures a high-end model tennis racket. The company’s forecasted income statement for the year, before any special orders, is as follows: Fixed costs included in the forecasted income statement are $400,000 in manufacturing cost of goods sold and $200,000 in selling expenses. A new client placed a special order with Deuce, offering to buy 1,000 tennis rackets for $100.00 each. The company will incur no additional selling expenses if it accepts the special order. Assuming that Deuce has sufficient capacity to manufacture 1,000 more tennis rackets, by what amount would differential income increase (decrease) as a result of accepting the special order? (Hint: First compute the variable cost per unit relevant to this decision.)
- NoFat manufactures one product, olestra, and sells it to large potato chip manufacturers as the key ingredient in nonfat snack foods, including Ruffles, Lays, Doritos, and Tostitos brand products. For each of the past 3 years, sales of olestra have been far less than the expected annual volume of 125,000 pounds. Therefore, the company has ended each year with significant unused capacity. Due to a short shelf life, NoFat must sell every pound of olestra that it produces each year. As a result, NoFats controller, Allyson Ashley, has decided to seek out potential special sales offers from other companies. One company, Patterson Union (PU)a toxic waste cleanup companyoffered to buy 10,000 pounds of olestra from NoFat during December for a price of 2.20 per pound. PU discovered through its research that olestra has proven to be very effective in cleaning up toxic waste locations designated as Superfund Sites by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Allyson was excited, noting that This is another way to use our expensive olestra plant! The annual costs incurred by NoFat to produce and sell 100,000 pounds of olestra are as follows: In addition, Allyson met with several of NoFats key production managers and discovered the following information: The special order could be produced without incurring any additional marketing or customer service costs. NoFat owns the aging plant facility that it uses to manufacture olestra. NoFat incurs costs to set up and clean its machines for each production run, or batch, of olestra that it produces. The total setup costs shown in the previous table represent the production of 20 batches during the year. NoFat leases its plant machinery. The lease agreement is negotiated and signed on the first day of each year. NoFat currently leases enough machinery to produce 125,000 pounds of olestra. PU requires that an independent quality team inspects any facility from which it makes purchases. The terms of the special sales offer would require NoFat to bear the 1,000 cost of the inspection team. Based solely on financial factors, explain why NoFat should accept or reject PUs special sales offer.NoFat manufactures one product, olestra, and sells it to large potato chip manufacturers as the key ingredient in nonfat snack foods, including Ruffles, Lays, Doritos, and Tostitos brand products.

PU requires that an independent quality team inspects any facility from which it makes purchases. The terms of the special sales offer would require NoFat to bear the 1,000 cost of the inspection team. Assume for this question that NoFat rejected PUs special sales offer because the 2.20 price suggested by PU was too low. In response to the rejection, PU asked NoFat to determine the price at which it would be willing to accept the special sales offer. For its regular sales, NoFat sets prices by marking up variable costs by 10%. If Allyson decides to use NoFats 10% markup pricing method to set the price for PUs special sales offer, a. Calculate the price that NoFat would charge PU for each pound of olestra. b. Calculate the relevant profit that NoFat would earn if it set the special sales price by using its markup pricing method. (Hint: Use the estimate of relevant costs that you calculated in response to Requirement 1b.) c. Explain why NoFat should accept or reject the special sales offer if it uses its markup pricing method to set the special sales price.NoFat manufactures one product, olestra, and sells it to large potato chip manufacturers as the key ingredient in nonfat snack foods, including Ruffles, Lays, Doritos, and Tostitos brand products.

PU requires that an independent quality team inspects any facility from which it makes purchases. The terms of the special sales offer would require NoFat to bear the 1,000 cost of the inspection team. Assume for this question that Allysons relevant analysis reveals that NoFat would earn a positive relevant profit of 10,000 from the special sale (i.e., the special sales alternative). However, after conducting this traditional, short-term relevant analysis, Allyson wonders whether it might be more profitable over the long term to downsize the company by reducing its manufacturing capacity (i.e., its plant machinery and plant facility). She is aware that downsizing requires a multiyear time horizon because companies usually cannot increase or decrease fixed plant assets every year. Therefore, Allyson has decided to use a 5-year time horizon in her long-term decision analysis. She has identified the following information regarding capacity downsizing (i.e., the downsizing alternative): The plant facility consists of several buildings. If it chooses to downsize its capacity, NoFat can immediately sell one of the buildings to an adjacent business for 30,000. If it chooses to downsize its capacity, NoFats annual lease cost for plant machinery will decrease to 9,000. Therefore, Allyson must choose between these two alternatives: Accept the special sales offer each year and earn a 10,000 relevant profit for each of the next 5 years or reject the special sales offer and downsize as described above. Assume that NoFat pays for all costs with cash. Also, assume a 10% discount rate, a 5-year time horizon, and all cash flows occur at the end of the year. Using an NPV approach to discount future cash flows to present value, a. Calculate the NPV of accepting the special sale with the assumed positive relevant profit of 10,000 per year (i.e., the special sales alternative). b. Calculate the NPV of downsizing capacity as previously described (i.e., the downsizing alternative). c. Based on the NPV of Requirements 5a and 5b, identify and explain which of these two alternatives is best for NoFat to pursue in the long term.
- This year, Hassell Company will ship 4,000,000 pounds of chocolates to customers with total order-filling costs of 900,000. There are two types of customers: those who order 50,000 pound lots (small customers) and those who order 250,000 pound lots (large customers). Each customer category is responsible for buying 1,500,000 pounds. The selling price per pound is 2 per lb for the 50,000 pound lot and 3 per lb for the larger lots, due to differences in the type of chocolate. ABC would likely assign order-filling costs to the customer type as follows: a. 450,000, small; 450,000, large (using pounds as the driver) b. 360,000, small; 540,000, large (using revenue as the driver) c. 750,000, small; 150,000, large (using number of orders as the driver) d. 450,000, small; 450,000, large (using customer type as the driver)Dimitri Designs has capacity to produce 30,000 desk chairs per year and is currently selling all 30,000 for $240 each. Country Enterprises has approached Dimitri to buy 800 chairs for $210 each. Dimitris normal variable cost is $165 per chair, including $50 per unit in direct labor per chair. Dimitri can produce the special order on an overtime shift, which means that direct labor would be paid overtime at 150% of the normal pay rate. The annual fixed costs will be unaffected by the special order and the contract will not disrupt any of Dimitris other operations. What will be the impact on profits of accepting the order?Maple Enterprises sells a single product with a selling price of $75 and variable costs per unit of $30. The companys monthly fixed expenses are $22,500. What is the companys break-even point in units? What is the companys break-even point in dollars? Construct a contribution margin income statement for the month of September when they will sell 900 units. How many units will Maple need to sell in order to reach a target profit of $45,000? What dollar sales will Maple need in order to reach a target profit of $45,000? Construct a contribution margin income statement for Maple that reflects $150,000 in sales volume.
