Cincinnati Flow Technology (CFT) has purchased 10,000 pumps annually from Kobec. Inc. Because the price keeps increasing
Question:
The engineering manufacturing and accounting departments have prepared a report for management which includes the following estimate for an assembly run of 10.000 pumps. Additional production employees would be hired to manufacture the pumps but no additional equipment, space. Or supervision would be needed.
The report states that total costs for 10,000 unit’s arc estimated at $ 1,435,500 or $143.55 per unit. The current purchase price is $102.00 per unit, so the report recommends continued purchase of the product
Components (outside purchases) .........................................$ 180,000
Assembly labor ...................................................................... 450,000
Manufacturing overhead'........................................................ 675,000
General and administrative overhead..................................... 130,500
Total costs.......................................................................... $1,435,500
• Assembly labor consists of hourly Production Workers.
•Manufacture overhead is applied to products on a direct labor-dollar basis. Variable-overhead costs vary closely with direct labor dollars.
Fixed overhead ................................................................... 50% of direct labor dollars
Variable overhead........................................................... 100% of direct labor dollars
Manufacturing-overhead rate ............................................150% of direct-labor dollars
General and administrative overhead is applied at 10 percent of the total cost of material (or components), assembly labor, and manufacturing overhead.
