Delta Company produces a single product. The cost of producing and selling a single unit of this product at the company's normal activity level of 87,600 units per year is Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead Variable selling and administrative expenses Fixed selling and administrative expenses $ 1.70 $ 3.00 $0.60 $ 4.75 $ 1.90 $ 2.00 The normal selling price is $24.00 per unit. The company's capacity is 102,000 units per year. An order has been received from a mail order house for 1,200 units at a special price of $21.00 per unit. This order would not affect regular sales or the company's total fixed costs Required 1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order? 2. As a separate matter from the special order, assume the company's inventory includes 1,000 units of this product that were produced last year and that are inferior to the current model. The units must be sold through regular channels at reduced prices. What unit cost is relevant for establishing a minimum selling price for these units?

Show less Relevant cost per unit Futura Company purchases the 74,000 starters that it installs in its standard line of farm tractors from a supplier for the price of $12.90 per unit. Due to a reduction in output, the company now has idle capacity that could be used to produce the starters rather than buying them from an outside supplier. However, the company's chief engineer is opposed to making the starters because the production cost per unit is $13.50 as shown below: Per Unit Total $ 7.00 Direct materials Direct labor Supervision Depreciation Variable manufacturing overhead Rent 2.50 1.90 $140,600 1.2088,800 0.40 0.50 37,000 Total product cost $13.50 If Futura decides to make the starters, a supervisor would have to be hired (at a salary of $140,600) to oversee production. However, the company has sufficient idle tools and machinery such that no new equipment would have to be purchased. The rent charge above is based on space utilized in the plant. The total rent on the plant is $81,000 per period. Depreciation is due to obsolescence rather than wear and tear Required What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of making the 74,000 starters instead of buying them from an outside supplier? inancial advantage Andretti Company has a single product called a Dak. The company normally produces and sells 89,000 Daks each year at a selling price of $60 per unit. The company's unit costs at this level of activity are given below: Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead Variable selling expenses Fixed selling expenses Total cost per unit $ 7.50 9.00 2.40 8.00 ($712,000 total) 1.70 4.50 ($400,500 total) $ 33.10 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 111,250 Daks each year without any increase in fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The company could increase its unit sales by 25% above the present 89,000 units each year if it were willing to increase the fixed selling expenses by $120,000. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of investing an additional $120,000 in fixed selling expenses? 1-b. Would the additional investment be justified? 2. Assume again that Andretti Company has sufficient capacity to produce 111,250 Daks each year. A customer in a foreign market wants to purchase 22,250 Daks. If Andretti accepts this order it would have to pay import duties on the Daks of $3.70 per unit and an additional $15,575 for permits and licenses. The only selling costs that would be associated with the order would be $1.80 per unit shipping cost. What is the break-even price per unit on this order? 3. The company has 600 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 supplier's plant, Andretti Company is unable to purchase more material for the production of Daks. The strike is expected to last for two months. Andretti 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 30% of their normal level during the two-month period and the fixed selling expenses would be reduced by 20% during the two-month period a. How much total contribution margin will Andretti forgo if it closes the plant for two months? b. How much total fixed cost will the company avoid if it closes the plant for two months? c. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of closing the plant for the two-month period? d. Should Andretti close the plant for two months? 5. An outside manufacturer has offered to produce 89,000 Daks and ship them directly to Andretti's customers. If Andretti Company accepts this offer, the facilities that it uses to produce Daks would be idle; however, fixed manufacturing overhead costs would be reduced by 30%. 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 Andrettis avoidable cost per unit that it should compare to the price quoted by the outside manufacturer?
