Chapter 13, Problem 28P
Problem 6-30A Comprehensive problem including special order, outsourcing, and segment elimination decisions
Bain Corporation makes and sells state-of-the-art electronics products. One of its segments produces The Math Machine, an inexpensive calculator. The company’s chief accountant recently prepared the following income statement showing annual revenues and expenses associated with the segment’s operating activities. The relevant range for the production and sale of the calculators is between 30,000 and 60,000 units per year.
| Revenue (40,000 units × $10.80) | $432,000 |
| Unit-level variable costs | |
| Materials cost (40,000 × $2.70) | (108,000) |
| Labor cost (40,000 × $1.20) | (48,000) |
| Manufacturing overhead (40,000 × $1.20) | (48,000) |
| Shipping and handling (40,000 × $0.30) | (12,000) |
| Sales commissions (40,000 × $1.20) | (48,000) |
| Contribution margin | 168,000 |
| Fixed expenses | |
| Advertising costs | (24,000) |
| Salary of production supervisor | (72,000) |
| Allocated companywide facility-level expenses | (96,000) |
| Net loss $ | (24,000) |
Required (Consider each of the requirements independently.)
- a. A large discount store has approached the owner of Bain about buying 5,000 calculators. It would replace The Math Machine’s label with its own logo to avoid affecting Bain’s existing customers. Because the offer was made directly to the owner, no sales commissions on the transaction would be involved, but the discount store is willing to pay only $6.60 per calculator. Based on quantitative factors alone, should Bain accept the special order? Support your answer with appropriate computations. Specifically, by what amount would the special order increase or decrease profitability?
- b. Bain has an opportunity to buy the 40,000 calculators it currently makes from a reliable competing manufacturer for $6.72 each. The product meets Bain’s quality standards. Bain could continue to use its own logo, advertising program, and sales force to distribute the products. Should Bain buy the calculators or continue to make them? Support your answer with appropriate computations. Specifically, how much more or less would it cost to buy the calculators than to make them? Would your answer change if the volume of sales were increased to 60,000 units?
- c. Because the calculator division is currently operating at a loss, should it be eliminated from the company’s operations? Support your answer with appropriate computations. Specifically, by what amount would the segment’s elimination increase or decrease profitability?

Case 7-65 Cost-Volume-Profit with Multiple Products, Sales Mix Changes, Changes in Fixed and Variable Costs
Objective 1, 4
Artistic Woodcrafting Inc. began several years ago as a one-person, cabinet-making operation. Employees were added as the business expanded. Last year, sales volume totaled $850,000. Volume for the first five months of the current year totaled $600,000, and sales were expected to be $1.6 million for the entire year. Unfortunately, the cabinet business in the region where Artistic is located is highly competitive. More than 200 cabinet shops are all competing for the same business.
Artistic currently offers two different quality grades of cabinets: Grade I and Grade II, with Grade I being the higher quality. The average unit selling prices, unit variable costs, and direct fixed costs are as follows:
Unit Price Unit Variable Cost Direct Fixed Cost
Grade I $3,400 $2,686 $95,000
Grade II 1,600 1,328 95,000

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.
