Thomas Corporation produces heating units. The following values apply for a part used in their production (purchased from external suppliers): D = 12,500 Q = 250 P = 45 C = 4.50 Required: 1. For Thomas, calculate the ordering cost, the carrying cost, and the total cost associated with an order size of 250 units. 2. Calculate the EOQ and its associated ordering cost, carrying cost, and total cost. Compare and comment on the EOQ relative to the current order quantity. 3. What if Thomas enters into an exclusive supplier agreement with one supplier who will supply all of the demands with smaller, more frequent orders? Under this arrangement, the ordering cost is reduced to 0.45 per order. Calculate the new EOQ and comment on the implications.
Sell or Process Further, Basic Analysis Shenista Inc. produces four products (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta) from a common input. The joint costs for a typical quarter follow: The revenues from each product are as follows: Alpha, 100,000; Beta, 93,000; Gamma, 30,000; and Delta, 40,000. Management is considering processing Delta beyond the split-off point, which would increase the sales value of Delta to 75,000. However, to process Delta further means that the company must rent some special equipment that costs 15,400 per quarter. Additional materials and labor also needed will cost 8,500 per quarter. Required: 1. What is the operating profit earned by the four products for one quarter? 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Should the division process Delta further or sell it at split-off? What is the effect of the decision on quarterly operating profit?
Zena Technology sells arc computer printers for $55 per unit. Unit product costs are: A special order to purchase 15,000 arc printers has recently been received from another company and Zena has idle capacity to fill the order. Zena will incur an additional $2 per printer for additional labor costs due to a slight modification the buyer wants made to the original product. One-third of the manufacturing overhead costs is fixed and will be incurred no matter how many units are produced. When negotiating the price, what is the minimum selling price that Zena should accept for this special order?
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?

The AB division sells goods internally to the CD division of the same company. The quoted external price in industry publications from a supplier near AB is P200 per ton plus transportation. It costs P20 per ton to transport the goods to CD. AB’s actual market cost per ton to buy the direct materials to make the transferred product is P100. Actual per ton direct labor is P50. Other actual costs of storage and handling are P40. The company president selects a P220 transfer price. This is an example of: Cost-based transfer pricing. Cost plus 20% transfer pricing. Market-based transfer pricing. Negotiated transfer pricing.

The X and Y Divisions are divisions in the same company. Currently the Y Division buys a part from X Division for P390 per unit. The X Division wants to increase the price of the part it sells to Y Division by P60 to P450. The manager of the Y Division has stated that he cannot pay that much insofar as the division's profit goes below zero. The manager of the Y Division can buy the part from an outside supplier for P448 per unit. The cost data pertaining to the part is supplied by the X Division: Direct materials P136.00 Direct labor 200.00 Variable overhead 40.00 Fixed overhead 38.40 A. If X Division does not produce the parts for the Y Division, it will be able to avoid one-third of the fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The X Division has excess capacity but no alternative uses for the facilities. Y Division will sell the finished product with the part (from X Division) for P1,000 after incurring additional processing costs of P600. What is the…
