I've tried to ask different people about this problem but always get a different answer, can someone help please.
McVay Industries (MI) produces ice cream supplies including bowls, scoops and shake makers. MI made $605,000 of pre-tax profit last year. They are looking for ways to improve profitability and are considering outsourcing production of their shake makers. Juan Hernandez, the controller, compiled the following information. Shake Bowls Scoops Makers TOTAL Units Manufactured and sold 2,000,000 500,000 100,000 DM per unit $0.50 $1.25 $5.00 DL per unit 50.10 50.50 $4.00 VMOH per unit 50.15 50.25 $5.00 FMOH per unit (based on current 50.40 50.50 $5.00 production) Total Cost per unit $1.15 $2.50 $19.00 Selling Price $2.00 $4.00 $25.00 Gross Profit per Unit 50.85 $1.50 $6.00 Total Sales $4,000,000 $2,000,000 $2,500,000 $8,500,000 Total COGS $2,300,000 $1,250,000 $1,900,000 $5,450,000 Total Gross Profit $1,700,000 $750,000 $600,000 $3,050,000 Total Variable (selling) costs ($300,000) ($100,000) ($125,000) ($525,000) SG&A Fixed Costs - Direct $400,000) ($200,000) $100,000) ($700,000) SG&A Fixed Costs - Common* * ($680,000) ($300,000) ($240,000) ($1,220,000) Pre-Tax Profit $320.000 $150.000 $135.000 $605.000 * Direct SG&A Fixed Costs can be eliminated if the specific product is outsourced ** Common SG&A Fixed Costs can not be eliminated even if the specific product is outsourced. If the shake maker is outsourced, fixed manufacturing overhead costs of $100,000 to lease machinery related to shake maker production could be eliminated. Assume that direct fixed SG&A expenses relate directly to the shake makers line and could be completely eliminated if the shake maker product line is dropped. Additionally, if the shake maker is outsourced, the company would have idle capacity and could produce and sell an additional 150,000 bowls (for the same selling price of $2 per bowl). Question: What is the maximum amount MI should pay for the shake maker from an independent supplier (price per unit) to be no worse off financially? Show your work
