1. What is the total amount of traceable fixed manufacturing overhead for the Alpha product line and for the Beta product line?

2.

What is the companys total amount of common fixed expenses 4.

Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 106,000 Betas during the current year. One of Canes sales representatives has found a new customer that is willing to buy 4,000 additional Betas for a price of $74 per unit. If Cane accepts the customers offer, how much will its profits increase or decrease?

5.

Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 111,000 Alphas during the current year. One of Cane's sales representatives has found a new customer that is willing to buy 26,000 additional Alphas for a price of $144 per unit. If Cane accepts the customers offer, it will decrease Alpha sales to regular customers by 12,000 units.

Calculate the incremental net operating income if the order is accepted? (Loss amount should be indicated with a minus sign.)

6. Assume that Cane normally produces and sells 106,000 Betas per year. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, how much will profits increase or decrease?

7.

Assume that Cane normally produces and sells 56,000 Betas per year. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, how much will profits increase or decrease?

8.

Assume that Cane normally produces and sells 76,000 Betas and 96,000 Alphas per year. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, its sales representatives could increase sales of Alpha by 16,000 units. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, how much would profits increase or decrease?

9.

Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 96,000 Alphas during the current year. A supplier has offered to manufacture and deliver 96,000 Alphas to Cane for a price of $144 per unit. If Cane buys 96,000 units from the supplier instead of making those units, how much will profits increase or decrease?
