Levy purchases the engines needed for its tractors from two sources: Johnson Engines and Watson Company. The Johnson engine has a price of 1,000. The Watson engine is 900 per unit. Levy produces and sells 22,000 tractors. Of the 22,000 engines needed for the tractors, 4,000 are purchased from Johnson Engines, and 18,000 are purchased from Watson Company. The production manager, Jamie Murray, prefers the Johnson engine. However, Jan Booth, purchasing manager, maintains that the price difference is too great to buy more than the 4,000 units currently purchased. Booth also wants to maintain a significant connection with the Johnson source just in case the less expensive source cannot supply the needed quantities. Jamie, however, is convinced that the quality of the Johnson engine is worth the price difference. Frank Wallace, the controller, has decided to use activity costing to resolve the issue. The following activity cost and supplier data have been collected: Required: 1. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Calculate the activity-based supplier cost per engine (acquisition cost plus supplier-related activity costs). (Round to the nearest cent.) Which of the two suppliers is the low-cost supplier? Explain why this is a better measure of engine cost than the usual purchase costs assigned to the engines. 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Consider the supplier cost information obtained in Requirement 1. Suppose further that Johnson can only supply a total of 20,000 units. What actions would you advise Levy to undertake with its suppliers?arrow_forwardT-Comm makes a variety of products. It is organized in two divisions, North and South. The managers for each division are paid, in part, based on the financial performance of their divisions.

When it does, corporate policy states that the price must be cost plus 15 percent to ensure a “fair” return to the selling division. South received an order from North for 600 units. South’s planned output for the year had been 2,400 units before North’s order. South’s capacity is 3,000 units per year. The costs for producing those 2,400 units follow.
