Managerial Decision:
Decision making plays an important role in the management. The decisions taken by managers are called managerial decisions. Managerial Decisions are decisions taken by managers for the operations of a firm. These decisions include setting target growth rates, hiring or firing employees, and deciding what products to sell. Manager’s decisions are taken on the basis of quantitative as well as the qualitative measures. The managerial decision includes the decisions like make or buy, accept or reject new offers, sell or further process etc. These decisions are taken on the basis of relevant costs.
Relevant costs are the costs that are relevant for any decision making. Relevant costs are helpful for take managerial decisions like make or buy, accept or reject new offers, sell or further process etc.
Two basic types of the relevant costs are as follows:
- Out-of-pocket costs
- Opportunity costs
The decision to process further

- Lander Parts, Inc., produces various automobile parts. In one plant, Lander has a manufacturing cell with the theoretical capability to produce 450,000 fuel pumps per quarter. The conversion cost per quarter is 9,000,000. There are 150,000 production hours available within the cell per quarter. Required: 1. Compute the theoretical velocity (per hour) and the theoretical cycle time (minutes per unit produced). 2. Compute the ideal amount of conversion cost that will be assigned per subassembly. 3. Suppose the actual time required to produce a fuel pump is 40 minutes. Compute the amount of conversion cost actually assigned to each unit produced. What happens to product cost if the time to produce a unit is decreased to 25 minutes? How can a firm encourage managers to reduce cycle time? Finally, discuss how this approach to assigning conversion cost can improve delivery time. 4. Assuming the actual time to produce one fuel pump is 40 minutes, calculate MCE. How much non-value-added time is being used? How much is it costing per unit? 5. Cycle time, velocity, MCE, conversion cost per unit (theoretical conversion rate actual conversion time), and non-value-added costs are all measures of performance for the cell process. Discuss the incentives provided by these measures.arrow_forwardCobe Company has already manufactured 18,000 units of Product A at a cost of $20 per unit.

- Gunston Processing produces two products, ALT-1 and ALT-2, from a batch using a single raw material, ALT-O. Both products require further processing before they be can be sold. A batch of ALT-1 can be sold for $153,000 after processing costs of $42,000. A batch of ALT-2 can be sold for $241,200 after further processing. The cost of ALT-O is $200,000 for a batch.

- Test Company produces two products from a common input: Product A and Product B. One batch of the common input yields 600 units of Product A and 200 units of Product B. The joint costs for one batch are $25,000. Product A can be sold at the split-off point for $80 per unit. Product B can be sold at the split-off point for $150 per unit. Alternatively, Product B can be processed into 120 units of Product C that will sell for $400 per unit. Additional process costs for one batch of Product C will be $5,500 Determine the increase (decrease) in income if Product B is processed further into Product C.
