Answer to Problem 3F15

Solution:

The financial advantage of accepting the new customer’s order for Alpha is $ 110,000.

Explanation of Solution

The incremental net operating profit (loss) is the difference between incremental revenues and costs.

    Alpha - Incremental Net operating profit (Loss) (in $)
    Incremental Revenue ( $ 80/ unit X 10,000 additional units)800,000
    Less:
    Incremental costs -
    Direct material ( $ 30/ units X 10,000 additional units)300,000
    Direct labor ( $ 20/ unit X 10,000 additional units)200,000
    Variable manufacturing overhead ( $ 7/ unit X 10,000 additional units)70,000
    Variable selling expenses ( $ 12/ unit X 10,000 additional units)120,000
    Total incremental costs690,000
    Alpha -Incremental net operating income110,000

Given, the information for the product Alpha −

  • Additional sales units = 10,000 units
  • Selling price per unit = $ 80 per unit
  • Direct Material per unit = $ 30 per unit
  • Direct Labor per unit = $ 20 per unit
  • Variable manufacturing overhead per unit = $ 7 per unit
  • Variable selling expenses per unit = $ 12 per unit

Calculations:

  1. Incremental revenue

      Incremental revenue = $ 80 per unit X 10,000 unitsIncremental revenue = $ 800,000

  2. Incremental costs

      Direct material = $ 30 per unit X 10,000 unitsDirect material = $ 300,000

      Direct labor = $ 20 per unit X 10,000 unitsDirect labor = $ 200,000

      Variable manufacturing overhead per unit = $ 7 per unit X 10,000 unitsVariable manufacturing overhead per unit = $ 70,000

      Variable selling expenses per unit = $ 12 per unit X 10,000 unitsVariable selling expenses per unit = $ 120,000

      Total incremental costs = Direct material + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead                                           + Variable selling expenses

      Total incremental costs = $ 300,000 + 200,000 + $ 70,000 + $ 120,000Total incremental costs = $ 690,000

  3. Incremental Net operating income

      Incremental Net operating income = Incremental revenue  Incremental costsIncremental Net operating income = $ 800,000  $ 690,000Incremental Net operating income = $ 110,000

Conclusion

Thus, the financial advantage of accepting the new customer’s order for Alpha = $ 110,000.
