"Jay's furniture produces several types of furniture including couches and loveseats. Last year total contribution margin was $900,000 for couches and $350,000 for loveseats. Loveseats had a segment margin of $50,000 and common fixed costs of $100,000 so the company is considering stopping loveseat production.

Josefina's inventory of raw steel averages P600,000. JC Tan, president of Josefina, and Patrick Argante, Josefina's controller, are concerned about the costs of carrying inventory. The steel supplier is willing to supply steel in smaller lots at no additional charge. Patrick Argante identified the following effects of adopting a JIT inventory program to virtually eliminate steel inventory: Without scheduling any overtime, lost sales due to stockouts would increase by 35,000 units per year. However, by incurring overtime premiums of P40,000 per year, the increase in lost sales could be reduced to 20,000 units. This would be the maximum amount of overtime that would be feasible for Josefina. Two warehouses presently used for steel bar storage would no longer be needed. Josefina rents one…arrow_forward
- QUESTION 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.

Problem 16-11 (Algo) One of your Taiwanese suppliers has bid on a new line of molded plastic parts that is currently being assembled at your plant. The supplier has bid $0.10 per part, given a forecast you provided of 100,000 parts in year 1; 200,000 in year 2; and 300,000 in year 3. Shipping and handling of parts from the supplier’s factory is estimated at $0.01 per unit. Additional inventory handling charges should amount to $0.005 per unit. Finally, administrative costs are estimated at $20 per month. Although your plant is able to continue producing the part, the plant would need to invest in another molding machine, which would cost $10,000. Direct materials can be purchased for $0.04 per unit. Direct labor is estimated at $0.02 per unit for wages plus a 50 percent surcharge for benefits and, indirect labor is estimated at $0.010 per unit plus 50 percent benefits. Up-front engineering and design costs will amount to $30,000. Finally, management has insisted that…arrow_forward
