Markson and Sons leases a copy machine with terms that include a fixed fee each month plus acharge for each copy made. Markson made 9,000 copies and paid a total of $480 in January. In April, they paid $320 for 5,000 copies. What is the variable cost per copy if Markson uses the high-low method to analyze costs?
Olin Company manufactures and distributes carpentry tools. Production of the tools is in the mature portion of the product life cycle. Olin has a sales force of 20. Salespeople are paid a commission of 7 percent of sales, plus expenses of 35 per day for days spent on the road away from home, plus 0.50 per mile. They deliver products in addition to making the sales, and each salesperson is required to own a truck suitable for making deliveries. For the coming quarter, Olin estimates the following: On average, a salesperson travels 6,000 miles per quarter and spends 38 days on the road. The fixed marketing and administrative expenses total 400,000 per quarter. Required: 1. Prepare an income statement for Olin Company for the next quarter. 2. Suppose that a large hardware chain, MegaHardware, Inc., wants Olin Company to produce its new SuperTool line. This would require Olin Company to sell 80 percent of total output to the chain. The tools will be imprinted with the SuperTool brand, requiring Olin to purchase new equipment, use somewhat different materials, and reconfigure the production line. Olins industrial engineers estimate that cost of goods sold for the SuperTool line would increase by 15 percent. No sales commission would be incurred, and MegaHardware would link Olin to its EDI system. This would require an annual cost of 100,000 on the part of Olin. MegaHardware would pay shipping. As a result, the sales force would shrink by 80 percent. Should Olin accept MegaHardwares offer? Support your answer with appropriate calculations.
Marcotti Cupcakes bakes and sells a basic cupcake for $1.25. The cost of producing 600,000 cupcakes in the prior year was: At the start of the current year, Marcotti received a special order for 15,000 cupcakes to be sold for $1.10 per cupcake. To complete the order, the company must incur an additional $700 in total fixed costs to lease a special machine that will stamp the cupcakes with the customers logo. This order will not affect any of Marcottis other operations and it has excess capacity to fulfill the contract. Should the company accept the special order? (Show your work.)
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.)
Markson and Sons leases a copy machine with terms that include a fixed fee each month of $500 plus a charge for each copy made. The company uses the high-low method to analyze costs. If Markson paid $360 for 5,000 copies and $280 for 3,000 copies, how much would Markson pay if it made 7,500 copies?
Olivian Company wants to earn 420,000 in net (after-tax) income next year. Its product is priced at 275 per unit. Product costs include: Variable selling expense is 14 per unit; fixed selling and administrative expense totals 290,000. Olivian has a tax rate of 40 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the before-tax profit needed to achieve an after-tax target of 420,000. 2. Calculate the number of units that will yield operating income calculated in Requirement 1 above. (Round to the nearest unit.) 3. Prepare an income statement for Olivian Company for the coming year based on the number of units computed in Requirement 2. 4. What if Olivian had a 35 percent tax rate? Would the units sold to reach a 420,000 target net income be higher or lower than the units calculated in Requirement 3? Calculate the number of units needed at the new tax rate. (Round dollar amounts to the nearest dollar and unit amounts to the nearest unit.)
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?

Gustavo Fring approached Walt & Jessie Pharmaceutical Co. to buy 50 pounds of product for $50,000 a pound. Regular customers are charged $84,000 for a pound of product. Walt and Jessie Pharmaceutical Co. has the capacity to make 1000 pounds of product per month. The following costs are associated with the company's normal monthly production of the sale of 970 pounds of product: Direct Material per Pound of Product $9,000 Direct Labor per Pound of Product $2,000 Variable MOH per Pound of Product $3,000 Fixed MOH per Pound of Product $3,000 What is the minimum price Walt and Jessie Pharmaceutical Co. would be willing to accept per pound of product for the order? Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Hint: You can solve this problem using the formula for minimum transfer price. Transfer price >= incremental variable costs per unit + (Sacrificed regular contribution margin/ # units transferred) Minimum price = incremental variable costs per unit + ((# units…
XYZ Company spends 300,000 dollars on raw materials, 100,000 dollars on a fixed cost, and 150,000 dollars for employees. XYZ Company’s total sale is 700,000 dollars. Calculate the percentage of the profit change, if the XYZ is able to 2% receive a discount on the procurement for the raw materials.
Guadalupe Olayo produces grandfather clocks. Each grandfather clock normally sells for $1,500. The following manufacturing cost information per clock is available: Direct materials are $200, labor is $600, variable overhead is $50, and fixed overhead is $40 (based on planned production for the year of 1,200 clocks). Commissions are 10% of selling price, and fixed selling and administrative costs are $70,000. Guadalupe’s tax rate is 25%. A European company has asked Guadalupe to accept a special order for 400 clocks. Due to some minor design changes, the material and labor costs for the special order clocks would increase by 25%. Another production run would have to be scheduled for the special order, since the clocks are different from the regular clocks, at a cost of $2,200. In addition, Guadalupe would have to hire a temporary clerk to process the ISO and export paperwork for shipping to Europe, at a cost of $600. Commissions will be paid at the rate of 5% of the special order…
