QUESTION 3

Imperial Jewelers manufactures and sells a gold bracelet for $406.00. The company's accounting system says that the unit product cost for this bracelet is $267.00 as shown below: Direct materials Direct labor Manufacturing overhead Unit product cost $143 87 37 $267 The members of a wedding party have approached Imperial Jewelers about buying 22 of these gold bracelets for the discounted price of $366.00 each. The members of the wedding party would like special filigree applied to the bracelets that would require Imperial Jewelers to buy a special tool for $461 and that would increase the direct materials cost per bracelet by $6. The special tool would have no other use once the special order is completed. To analyze this special order opportunity, Imperial Jewelers has determined that most of its manufacturing overhead is fixed and unaffected by variations in how much jewelry is produced in any given period. However, $7.00 of the overhead is variable with respect to the number of bracelets produced. The company also believes that accepting this order would have no effect on its ability to produce and sell jewelry to other customers. Furthermore, the company could fulfill the wedding party's order using its existing manufacturing capacity. Required 1 Required 2 What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order from the wedding party? Financial advantage Portsmouth Company makes upholstered furniture. Its only variable cost is direct materials. The demand for the company's products far exceeds its manufacturing capacity. The bottleneck (or constraint) in the production process is upholstery labor- hours. Information concerning three of Portsmouth's upholstered chairs appears below: Selling price per unit Variable cost per unit Upholstery labor-hours per unit Recliner $ 1,234 $ $ 800 $ 7 hours Sofa Love Seat 1,800 $ 1,325 1,200 $ 950 12 hours 5 hours Required: 1. Portsmouth is considering paying its upholstery laborers hourly compensation, in addition to their usual salaries, to work overtime. Assuming that this extra time would be used to produce sofas, up to how much of an overtime premium per hour should the company be willing to pay to keep the upholstery shop open after normal working hours? 2. A small nearby upholstering company has offered to upholster furniture for Portsmouth at a price of $46 per hour. The management of Portsmouth is confident that this upholstering company's work is high quality and their craftsmen can work as quickly as Portsmouth's own craftsmen on the simpler upholstering jobs such as the Love Seat. How much additional contribution margin per hour can Portsmouth earn if it hires the nearby upholstering company to make Love Seats? Kristen Lu purchased a used automobile for $17,150 at the beginning of last year and incurred the following operating costs: Depreciation ($17,150 = 5 years) Insurance Garage rent Automobile tax and license Variable operating cost $ 3,430 $ 1,800 $ 900 $ 470 $ 0.12 per mile The variable operating cost consists of gasoline, oil, tires, maintenance, and repairs. Kristen estimates that, at her current rate of usage, the car will have zero resale value in five years, so the annual straight-line depreciation is $3,430. The car is kept in a garage for a monthly fee. Required: 1. Kristen drove the car 22,000 miles last year. Compute the average cost per mile of owning and operating the car. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) $ 0.30 Average fixed cost per mile Variable operating cost per mile Average cost per mile $ CA 0.30 2. Kristen is unsure about whether she should use her own car or rent a car to go on an extended cross-country trip for two weeks during spring break. What costs above are relevant in this decision? Assume that there is no decrease in the resale value of the car due to its use. (You may select more than one answer.
