Noguchi Company manufactures cooling systems. Noguchi produces all the parts necessary for its product except lor ane electronic component, which is purchased from two local suppliers: Manzer Inc, and Buckner Company, Both suppliers are reliable and seldom deliver late; however, Manzer sells the component for 389 per unit, whille Buckner sells the same component for $86. Noguchi purchases 80% of its components from Buckner because of its lower price, the total annual demand is 4,000,000 components. To help assess the cost effect of the two components, the following data were collected for supplier-related activities and suppliers: 1. Activity Data 1. Calculate the cost per component for each supplier, taking into consideration the costs of the suppller-related activities and using the current prices and sales valum unit cost to two decimal places.) Manzer inc. Buckner Company per unit: per unit 2a. Suppose that Noguchi loses $3,840,000 in sales per year because is develops a poor reputation due to defective units attributable to failed componenti. Using Warranty hours, assign the cost of lost sales to each supplier. Manzer Buckner 2b. By how much would this change the cost of each supplier's component? Round your answers to the nearest cent. Manzer Guckner 3. Based on the analysis in Requirements 1 and 2, discuss the importance of activity-based supplier costing for intemat deciabi making As with oroduct costing, accurate atsignment of costs to the cost object is essential for well-grounded decision-muking. Suppliers can cause a firm bo perfarm costiy activities woch as inspectioli, rework, and warranty wark, The of a component is thus more than its purchate price. As ifir example shawi, the cornponent with the arice is actually less expensive because it causes less demand on internar cosely activites. Thus, the coringany would they the purchuses of one suppiler in tavor of the other, It also might attempe to woek wath the one supplief which w caising sighificant demanda so internal activities to see if the quality of its component can be increased
