Andretti Company has a single product called a Dak. The company normally produces and sells 82,000 Daks each year at a seling price of $56 per unit. The company's unit costs at this level of activity are given below. Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing over hend Fixed manufacturing overhead Variable selling expenses xed selling expenses Total coat per unit $ 8.50 9.00 2.60 3.00 (5246,000 total) 1.70 4.00 (5328.000 total) $20.0 A number of questions relating to the production and sale of Daks follow. Each question is independent. Required: 1-a. Assume that Andretti Company has sufficient capacity to produce 114,800 Daks each year without any increase in feed manufacturing overhead costs. The company could increase its unit sales by 40% above the present 82.000 units each year if it were willing to increase the fixed selling expenses by $140,000. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of investing an additional $140,000 in foed selling expenses? 1-b. Would the additional Investment be justified? 2. Assume again that Andretti Company has sufficient capacity to produce 114,800 Daks each year A customer in a foreign market wants to purchase 32,800 Daks. If Andretti accepts this order it would have to pay Import duties on the Daks of $3.70 per unit and an additional $19,680 for permits and licenses. The only selling costs that would be associated with the order would be $2.10 per unit shipping cost. What is the break-even price per unit on this order? 3. The company has 500 Daks on hand that have some irregularities and are therefore considered to be "seconds. Due to the irregularities, it will be impossible to sell these units at the normal price through regular distribution channels. What is the unit cost figure that is relevant for setting a minimum selling price? 4. Due to a strike in its suppler's plant, Andretti Company is unable to purchase more material for the production of Dakes. The strikes expected to last for two months. Andrett Company has enough material on hand to operate at 25% of normal levels for the two-month period. As an alternative, Andretti could close its plant down entirely for the two months. If the plant were closed, fixed manufacturing overhead costs would continue at 35% of their normal level during the two-month period and the fored selling expenses would be ECOND 12 MacBook Air 20 000 000 Ft Il FS F& 2 59 11 A 1 + # 3 $ 4 % 5 & 7 * 8 6 8 :1 9 0 TT { R Y U LP Required: 1-a.

Because the outside manufacturer would pay for all shipping costs, the variable selling expenses would be only two- thirds of their present amount. What is Andretti's avoidable cost per unit that it should compare to the price quoted by the outside manufacturer
