A company is considering a special order for 1,000 units to be priced at 8.90 (the normal price would be 11.50). The order would require specialized materials costing 4.00 per unit. Direct labor and variable factory overhead would cost 2.15 per unit. Fixed factory overhead is 1.20 per unit. However, the company has excess capacity, and acceptance of the order would not raise total fixed factory overhead. The warehouse, however, would have to add capacity costing 1,300. Which of the following is relevant to the special order? a. 11.50 b. 1.20 c. 7.35 d. 8.90
Hatch Manufacturing produces multiple machine parts. The theoretical cycle time for one of its products is 65 minutes per unit. The budgeted conversion costs for the manufacturing cell dedicated to the product are 12,960,000 per year. The total labor minutes available are 1,440,000. During the year, the cell was able to produce 0.6 units of the product per hour. Suppose also that production incentives exist to minimize unit product costs. Required: 1. Compute the theoretical conversion cost per unit. 2. Compute the applied conversion cost per minute (the amount of conversion cost actually assigned to the product). 3. Discuss how this approach to assigning conversion cost can improve delivery time performance. Explain how conversion cost acts as a performance driver for on-time deliveries.
Segment variable costing income statement and effect on operating income of change in operations Valdespin Company manufactures three sizes of camping tentssmall (S), medium (M), and large (L). The income statement has consistently indicated a net loss for the M size, and management is considering three proposals: (1) continue Size M, (2) discontinue Size M and reduce total output accordingly, or (3) discontinue Size M and conduct an advertising campaign to expand the sales of Size S so that the entire plant capacity can continue to be used. If Proposal 2 is selected and Size M is discontinued and production curtailed, the annual fixed production costs and fixed operating expenses could be reduced by 46,080 and 32,240, respectively. If Proposal 3 is selected, it is anticipated that an additional annual expenditure of 34,560 for the rental of additional warehouse space would yield an additional 130% in Size S sales volume. It is also assumed that the increased production of Size S would utilize the plant facilities released by the discontinuance of Size M. The sales and costs have been relatively stable over the past few years, and they are expected to remain so for the foreseeable future. The income statement for the past year ended June 30, 20Y9, is as follows: Instructions 1. Prepare an income statement for the past year in the variable costing format. Use the following headings: Data for each size should be reported through contribution margin. The fixed costs should be deducted from the total contribution margin, as reported in the Total column, to determine operating income. 2. Based on the income statement prepared in (1) and the other data presented, determine the amount by which total annual operating income would be reduced below its present level if Proposal 2 is accepted. 3. Prepare an income statement in the variable costing format, indicating the projected annual operating income if Proposal 3 is accepted. Use the following headings: Data for each style should be reported through contribution margin. The fixed costs should be deducted from the total contribution margin as reported in the Total column. For purposes of this problem, the expenditure of 34,560 for the rental of additional warehouse space can be added to the fixed operating expenses. 4. By how much would total annual operating income increase above its present level if Proposal 3 is accepted? Explain.
Total costs for ABC Distributing are $250,000 when the activity level is 10,000 units. If variable costs are $5 per unit, what are their fixed costs? $240,000 $200,000 $260,000 Their fixed costs cannot be determined from the information presented.
Financial and Nonfinancial Aspects of Changing to JIT IntelliTalk manufactures smart phones. It is considering the implementation of a JIT system. Costs to reconfigure the production line will amount to 200,000 annually. Estimated benefits from the change to JIT are as follows: The quality advantages of JIT should reduce current rework cost of 300,000 by 25%. Materials storage, handling, and insurance costs of 250,000 would be reduced by an estimated 40%. Average inventory is expected to decline by 300,000 units, and the carrying cost per unit is .35. Required: 1. What is the estimated financial advantage or disadvantage of changing to a JIT system? 2. Are there any nonfinancial advantages or disadvantages of changing to a JIT system?
