The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are deemed unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars. 5. | Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 114,000 Alphas during the current year. One of Cane's sales representatives has found a new customer that is willing to buy 29,000 additional Alphas for a price of $156 per unit. If Cane accepts the customers offer, it will decrease Alpha sales to regular customers by 13,000 units. | a. | Calculate the incremental net operating income if the order is accepted? (Loss amount should be indicated with a minus sign.) b. | Based on your calculations above should the special order be accepted? 7. Assume that Cane normally produces and sells 59,000 Betas per year. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, how much will profits increase or decrease? | 9. | Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 99,000 Alphas during the current year. A supplier has offered to manufacture and deliver 99,000 Alphas to Cane for a price of $156 per unit. If Cane buys 99,000 units from the supplier instead of making those units, how much will profits increase or decrease? 10. | Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 74,000 Alphas during the current year. A supplier has offered to manufacture and deliver 74,000 Alphas to Cane for a price of $156 per unit. If Cane buys 74,000 units from the supplier instead of making those units, how much will profits increase or decrease? 11. | How many pounds of raw material are needed to make one unit of Alpha and one unit of Beta? | 12. | What contribution margin per pound of raw material is earned by Alpha and Beta? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) | 13. | Assume that Canes customers would buy a maximum of 99,000 units of Alpha and 79,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the companys raw material available for production is limited to 344,000 pounds. How many units of each product should Cane produce to maximize its profits? 14. | Assume that Canes customers would buy a maximum of 99,000 units of Alpha and 79,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the companys raw material available for production is limited to 344,000 pounds. What is the maximum contribution margin Cane Company can earn given the limited quantity of raw materials? 15. | Assume that Canes customers would buy a maximum of 99,000 units of Alpha and 79,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the companys raw material available for production is limited to 344,000 pounds. Up to how much should it be willing to pay per pound for additional raw materials? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) | | | | | | | | | | | | |
