The following total costs were reported last year: Valve Company has offered to sell Motor 10 000 units of Part M-l for $18 per unit. If Motor accepts the offer some of the facilities presently used to manufacture Part M-l could be rented to a third party at an annual rental of $15 000. Additionally $4 per unit of the fixed overhead applied to Part M-l would be totally eliminated. Should Motor Company accept Valve Company’s offer and why? Yes because it would be $25 000 cheaper to buy the part. No because it would be $15 000 cheaper to make the part. Yes because it would be $10 000 cheaper to buy the part. No because it would be $5 000 cheaper to make the part. ________________________________________ Question 5: Sardi Inc. is considering whether to continue to make a component or to buy it from an outside supplier. The company uses 17 000 of the components each year. The unit product cost of the component according to the company’s cost accounting system is given as follows: Direct materials $ 8.20 Direct labor 8.30 Variable manufacturing overhead 1.20 Fixed manufacturing overhead 4.30 Unit product cost $22.00 Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. Of the fixed manufacturing overhead 70% is avoidable if the component were bought from the outside supplier. In addition making the component uses 2 minutes on the machine that is the company’s current constraint. If the component were bought this machine time would be freed up for use on another product that requires 4 minutes on the constraining machine and that has a contribution margin of $7.00 per unit. When deciding whether to make or buy the component what cost of making the component should be compared to the price of buying the component? $20.71 $25.50 $24.21 $22.00 Question 6: Wood Carving Corporation manufactures three products.

Also assume that Wood Carving can only sell 800 units of each product in a given month. What is the maximum amount of contribution margin that Wood Carving can generate next month given this labor hour shortage? $12 000 $19 600 $19 000 $19 800 ________________________________________ Question 7: Elly Industries is a multi-product company that currently manufactures 30 000 units of Part MR24 each month for use in production. The facilities now being used to produce Part MR24 have a fixed monthly cost of $150 000 and a capacity to produce 35 000 units per month. If Elly were to buy part MR24 from an outside supplier the facilities would be idle but its fixed costs would continue at 40% of their present amount. The variable production costs of Part MR24 are $11 per unit. If Elly Industries continues to use 30 000 units of Part MR24 each month it would realize a net benefit by purchasing Part MR24 from an outside supplier only if the supplier’s unit price is less than: $14.00 $11.00 $16.00 $13.00 ________________________________________ Question 8: Elly Industries is a multi-product company that currently manufactures 30 000 units of Part MR24 each month for use in production. The facilities now being used to produce Part MR24 have a fixed monthly cost of $150 000 and a capacity to produce 35 000 units per month. If Elly were to buy part MR24 from an outside supplier the facilities would be idle but its fixed costs would continue at 40% of their present amount. The variable production costs of Part MR24 are $11 per unit. If Elly industries is able to obtain Part MR24 from an outside supplier at a unit purchase price of $15 the monthly usage at which it will be indifferent between purchasing and making Part MR24 is: 32 000 units 22 500 units 30 000 units 35 000 units ________________________________________ Question 9: Ahron Company makes 80 000 units per year of a part it uses in the products it manufactures. The unit product cost of this part is computed as follows: Direct materials $14.90 Direct labor 17.50 Variable manufacturing overhead 1.90 Fixed manufacturing overhead 21.10 Unit product cost $55.40 An outside supplier has offered to sell the company all of these parts it needs for $46.60 a unit. If the company accepts this offer the facilities now being used to make the part could be used to make more units of a product that is in high demand. The additional contribution margin on this other product would be $560 000 per year. If the part were purchased from the outside supplier all of the direct labor cost of the part would be avoided. However $13.60 of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost being applied to the part would continue even if the part were purchased from the outside supplier. This fixed manufacturing overhead cost would be applied to the company’s remaining products. What is the maximum amount the company should be willing to pay an outside supplier per unit for the part if the supplier commits to supplying all 80 000 units required each year? $7.00 $55.40 $62.40 $48.80 ________________________________________ Question 10: Younes Inc. manufactures industrial components. One of its products which is used in the construction of industrial air conditioners is known as P06. Data concerning this product are given below: The above per unit data are based on annual production of 4 000 units of the component. Direct labor can be considered to be a variable cost. The company has received a special one-time-only order for 500 units of component P06. There would be no variable selling expense on this special order and the total fixed manufacturing overhead and fixed selling and administrative expenses of the company would not be affected by the order. However assume that Younes has no excess capacity and this special order would require 30 minutes of the constraining resource which could be used instead to produce products with a total contribution margin of $10 000. What is the minimum price per unit on the special order below which the company should not go? $67 $83 $103 $20 Question 11: Elfving Company produces a single product. The cost of producing and selling a single unit of this product at the company’s normal activity level of 80 000 units per month is as follows: Direct materials $37.50 Direct labor $6.00 Variable manufacturing overhead $1.00 Fixed manufacturing overhead $11.50 Variable selling & administrative expense $1.80 Fixed selling & administrative expense $8.00 The normal selling price of the product is $71.10 per unit. An order has been received from an overseas customer for 1 000 units to be delivered this month at a special discounted price. This order would have no effect on the company’s normal sales and would not change the total amount of the company’s fixed costs. The variable selling and administrative expense would be $1.50 less per unit on this order than on normal sales. Direct labor is a variable cost in this company. Suppose the company is already operating at capacity when the special order is received from the overseas customer. What would be the opportunity cost of each unit delivered to the overseas customer? $5.30 $6.80 $7.40 $24.80 ________________________________________ Question 12: Elfving Company produces a single product.
