Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $190 and $155, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material

Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $190 and $155, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $8 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 122,000 units of each product. Its unit costs for each product at this level of activity are given below:

	Alpha			Beta
Direct materials		$	40		$	24
Direct labor			34			28
Variable manufacturing overhead			21			19
Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead			29			32
Variable selling expenses			26			22
Common fixed expenses			29			24

Total cost per unit		$	179		$	149

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.

Required:

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

What is the companys total amount of common fixed expenses?

Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 94,000 Alphas during the current year. One of Cane's sales representatives has found a new customer that is willing to buy 24,000 additional Alphas for a price of $136 per unit. If Cane accepts the customers offer, how much will its profits increase or decrease?

Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 104,000 Betas during the current year. One of Canes sales representatives has found a new customer that is willing to buy 3,000 additional Betas for a price of $62 per unit. If Cane accepts the customers offer, how much will its profits increase or decrease?

Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 109,000 Alphas during the current year. One of Cane's sales representatives has found a new customer that is willing to buy 24,000 additional Alphas for a price of $136 per unit. If Cane accepts the customers offer, it will decrease Alpha sales to regular customers by 11,000 units.

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

Assume that Cane normally produces and sells 104,000 Betas per year. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, how much will profits increase or decrease?

Assume that Cane normally produces and sells 54,000 Betas per year. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, how much will profits increase or decrease?

Assume that Cane normally produces and sells 74,000 Betas and 94,000 Alphas per year. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, its sales representatives could increase sales of Alpha by 14,000 units. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, how much would profits increase or decrease?

Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 94,000 Alphas during the current year. A supplier has offered to manufacture and deliver 94,000 Alphas to Cane for a price of $136 per unit. If Cane buys 94,000 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 69,000 Alphas during the current year. A supplier has offered to manufacture and deliver 69,000 Alphas to Cane for a price of $136 per unit. If Cane buys 69,000 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 94,000 units of Alpha and 74,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the companys raw material available for production is limited to 228,000 pounds. How many units of each product should Cane produce to maximize its profits?

14.

Assume that Canes customers would buy a maximum of 94,000 units of Alpha and 74,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the companys raw material available for production is limited to 228,000 pounds. What is the maximum contribution margin Cane Company can earn given the limited quantity of raw materials?
