Davis Kitchen Supply produces stoves for commercial kitchens. The costs to manufacture and market the stoves at the company's normal volume of 6,000 units per month are shown in the following table:

Unit manufacturing costs
Variable materials	$	49
Variable labor		74
Variable overhead		24
Fixed overhead		59
Total unit manufacturing costs				$	206
Unit marketing costs
Variable		24
Fixed		69
Total unit marketing costs					93
Total unit costs				$	299

Unless otherwise stated, assume that no connection exists between the situation described in each question; each is independent. Unless otherwise stated, assume a regular selling price of $392 per unit. Ignore income taxes and other costs that are not mentioned in the table or in the question itself.

b. On March 1, the federal government offers Davis a contract to supply 1,000 units to military bases for a March 31 delivery. Because of an unusually large number of rush orders from its regular customers, Davis plans to produce 8,000 units during March, which will use all available capacity. If it accepts the government order, it would lose 1,000 units normally sold to regular customers to a competitor. The government contract would reimburse its "share of March manufacturing costs" plus pay a $51,000 fixed fee (profit). (No variable marketing costs would be incurred on the government's units.) Assuming that the government's "share of March manufacturing costs" will be the proportionate fixed manufacturing cost, what impact would accepting the government contract have on March income?

d. An inventory of 460 units of an obsolete model of the stove remains in the stockroom. These must be sold through regular channels (thus incurring variable marketing costs) at reduced prices or the inventory will soon be valueless. What is the minimum acceptable selling price for these units?

e-1. A proposal is received from an outside contractor who will make and ship 2,000 stoves per month directly to Daviss customers as orders are received from Daviss sales force. Daviss fixed marketing costs would be unaffected, but its variable marketing costs would be cut by 20 percent for these 2,000 units produced by the contractor. Daviss plant would operate at two-thirds of its normal level, and total fixed manufacturing costs would be cut by 30 percent. What in-house unit cost should be used to compare with the quotation received from the supplier? Assume the payment to the outside contractor is $214. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

f-1. A proposal is received from an outside contractor who will make and ship 2,000 stoves per month directly to Daviss customers as orders are received from Daviss sales force. Daviss fixed marketing costs would be unaffected, but its variable marketing costs would be cut by 20 percent for these 2,000 units produced by the contractor. The idle facilities would be used to produce 1,600 modified stoves per month for use in extreme climates. These modified stoves could be sold for $449 each, while the costs of production would be $274 per unit variable manufacturing expense. Variable marketing costs would be $49 per unit. Fixed marketing and manufacturing costs would be unchanged whether the original 6,000 regular stoves were manufactured or the mix of 4,000 regular stoves plus 1,600 modified stoves were produced. What in-house unit cost should be used to compare with the quotation received from the outside contractor? Assume the payment to the outside contractor is $214. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
