1.

The Company has two territories--North and South. The territories have the following revenues and expenses:

North South

Sales $ 500,000 $ 550,000 Variable costs 200,000 275,000 Traceable fixed costs 150,000 180,000 Allocated common corporate costs 135,000 170,000 Net operating income (loss) $ 15,000 $ (75,000 )

The management time is thinking about eliminating of the South Division due to its apparent unprofitability. If the South Division were to be eliminated, its traceable fixed costs could be avoided. Total common corporate costs, however, would be unaffected by this decision. Given this information, the elimination of the South Division would result in an overall company net operating income (or loss) of:

The Company makes 40,000 servo motors to be used in the production of its hand held drills. The average cost per motor at this level of activity is:

Direct materials $ 5.60 Direct labor $ 5.50 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 4.75 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 4.45

An outside supplier recently began producing a comparable motor that could be used in the drill. The price offered to Company for this motor is $18. If Company decides not to make the motors, there would be no other use for the production facilities and none of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost could be avoided. Direct labor is a variable cost in this company. The annual financial advantage (or disadvantage) for the company as a result of making the motors rather than buying them from the outside supplier would be:

3. ABC Company produced and sells portable window ABC units. ABC Repair has the annual capacity to manufacture and sell 80,000 ABCs, but is currently only manufacturing and selling 60,000 units. The following data relates to the company's annual operations (at 60,000 units):

Per Unit Selling price $ 125 Manufacturing costs: Variable $ 25 Fixed $ 40 Selling and administrative costs: Variable $ 10 Fixed $ 15

The area would like to purchase 3,000 ABC units from ABC Repair but only if they can get them for $75 each. Variable selling and administrative costs on this special order will drop down to $2 per unit. This special order will not affect the 60,000 regular sales and it will not affect the total fixed costs. The annual financial advantage (or disadvantage) for the company as a result of accepting this special order from area should be:
