Use incremental analysis related to make or buy. consider opportunity cost, and identify nonfinancial factors.
(LO 3), E
The management of Shatner Manufacturing Company is trying to decide whether to continue manufacturing a part or to buy it from an outside supplier. The part, called CISCO, is a component of the company’s finished product.
The following information was collected from the accounting records and production data for the year ending December 31, 2017.
1. 8,000 units of CISCO were produced in the Machining Department.
2. Variable manufacturing coats applicable to the production of each CISCO unit were: direct materials $4.80, direct labor $4.30, indirect tabor $0.43, utilities $0.40.
3. Fixed
| Cost Item | Direct | Allocated |
| $2.100 | $ 900 | |
| Property taxes | 500 | 200 |
| Insurance | 900 | 600 |
| $3.500 | $1.700 |
All variable manufactures and direct fixed costs will be eliminated if CISCO is purchased. Allocated costs will have to be absorbed by other production departments.
1. The lowest quotation for 8,000 CISCO units from a supplier is $80,000.
2. If CISCO units are purchased, freight and inspection costs would be $0.35 per unit, and receiving costs touting $1,300 per year would be incurred by the Machining Department.
Instructions
(a) Prepare an incremental analysis for CISCO. Your analysis should have columns tor (1) Make CISCO. (2) Buy CISCO, and (3) Net Income Increase/(Decrease).
(b) Based on your analysis, what decision should management make?
(c) Would the decision be different if Shatner Company has the opportunity to produce $3,000 of net income with the facilities currently being used to manufacture CISCO? Show computations.
(a) ________ What nonfinancial factors should management consider in making its decision?
(a) NI (decrease) $(1.160)
(c) NI increase $1,840

Techno
Instruments uses a manufacturing costing system with one direct-cost category (direct materials) and three indirect-cost categories:
a.
Setup, production-order, and materials-handling costs that vary with the number of batches
b.
Manufacturing-operations costs that vary with machine-hours
c.
Costs of engineering changes that vary with the number of engineering changes made
In response to competitive pressures at the end of

The following information concerns labor availability, labor utilization, and product profitability: a. Develop a linear programming model of the Hartman Company problem. Solve the model to determine the optimal production quantities of products 1 and 2. b. In computing the profit contribution per unit, management does not deduct labor costs because they are considered fixed for the upcoming planning period. However, suppose that overtime can be scheduled in some of the departments. Which departments would you recommend scheduling for overtime? How much would you be willing to pay per hour of overtime in each department? c. Suppose that 10, 6, and 8 hours of overtime may be scheduled in departments A, B, and C, respectively. The cost per hour of overtime is 18 in department A, 22.50 in department B, and 12 in department C. Formulate a linear programming model that can be used to determine the optimal production quantities if overtime is made available.
