Question 10.4
Big Machines Corp. has two divisions. Division Y manufactures components that can be sold in the external market place or transferred to Division Z for further processing. The following data relate to Division Y's component product.
Variable manufacturing costs/unit
$925
Fixed costs/unit at capacity
$275
Selling price/unit
$1,800
The capacity of the plant is 2,500 units per year.
Division Z has offered to purchase 350 units from Division Y at a price of $1,600/unit, which is the market price of the component. The manager of Division Y has refused this offer stating that it would only return a rate of 25.00%, when the divisional target return on sales is 28.00%. The Division Y manager also states that additional fixed costs of $195,000 would be required to produce the 350 units.
The corporate required rate of return is 18% of assets and the existing asset base in Division Y is $2,500,000.
Required:
How many units must Division Y sell in order…

- Segment variable costing income statement and effect on 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 532,240. 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 style 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 income from operations. 2. Based on the income statement prepared in (1) and the other data presented, determine the amount by which total annual income from operations 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 income from operations 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 income increase above its present level if Proposal 3 is accepted? Explain.arrow_forwardQUESTION NO 3: The Knot manufactures men’s neckwear at its Spartanburg plant. The Knot is considering implementing a JIT production system. The following are the estimated costs and benefits of JIT production: a. Annual additional tooling costs $250,000 annually. b. Average inventory would decline by 80% from the current level of $1,000,000. c. Insurance, space, materials-handling, and setup costs, which currently total $400,000 annually, would decline by 20%. d. The emphasis on quality inherent in JIT production would reduce rework costs by 25%. The Knot currently incurs $160,000 in annual rework costs. e. Improved product quality under JIT production would enable The Knot to raise the price of its product by $2 per unit. The Knot sells 100,000 units each year. The Knot’s required rate of return on inventory investment is 15% per year. 1. Calculate the net benefit or cost to The Knot if it adopts JIT production at the Spartanburg plant. 2.

The company’s Marketing Department estimates that demand for the new toy will range between 15,000 units and 30,000 units per month. The new toy will sell for $9.00 per unit. Enough capacity exists in the company’s plant to produce 20,000 units of the toy each month. Variable expenses to manufacture and sell one unit would be $5.00 , and incremental fixed expenses associated with the toy would total $34,000 per month. Neptune has also identified an outside supplier who could produce the toy for a price of $4.00 per unit plus a fixed fee of $47,000 per month for any production volume up to 20,000 units. For a production volume between 20,001 and 45,000 units the fixed fee would increase to a total of $94,000 per month. Required: 1. Calculate the break-even point in…arrow_forward
- QS 22-17B Determining transfer prices with excess capacity LO C2 The Windshield division of Fast Car Co. makes windshields for use in Fast Car’s Assembly division. The Windshield division incurs variable costs of $200 per windshield and has capacity to make 500,000 windshields per year. The market price is $450 per windshield. The Windshield division incurs total fixed costs of $3,000,000 per year.If the Windshield division has excess capacity, what is the range of possible transfer prices that could be used on transfers between the Windshield and Assembly divisions?arrow_forwardExercise 13-10 (Algo) Make or Buy Decision [LO13-3] Futura Company purchases the 70,000 starters that it installs in its standard line of farm tractors from a supplier for the price of $11.50 per unit. Due to a reduction in output, the company now has idle capacity that could be used to produce the starters rather than buying them from an outside supplier. However, the company’s chief engineer is opposed to making the starters because the production cost per unit is $12.70 as shown below: Per Unit Total Direct materials $ 6.00 Direct labor 2.20 Supervision 1.80 $ 126,000 Depreciation 1.50 $ 105,000 Variable manufacturing overhead 0.80 Rent 0.40 $ 28,000 Total product cost $ 12.70 If Futura decides to make the starters, a supervisor would have to be hired (at a salary of $126,000) to oversee production. However, the company has sufficient idle tools and machinery such that no new equipment would have to be purchased. The rent charge above is based…arrow_forwardex4. Differential Analysis for Further Processing The management of International Aluminum Co. is considering whether to process aluminum ingot further into rolled aluminum. Rolled aluminum can be sold for $2,200 per ton, and ingot can be sold without further processing for $1,100 per ton. Ingot is produced in batches of 80 tons by smelting 500 tons of bauxite, which costs $105 per ton of bauxite. Rolled aluminum will require additional processing costs of $620 per ton of ingot, and 1.25 tons of ingot will produce 1 ton of rolled aluminum (due to trim losses). Required: 1. Prepare a differential analysis as of February 5 to determine whether to sell aluminum ingot (Alternative 1) or process further into rolled aluminum (Alternative 2).
