5. The cost-plus approach price computed above should be viewed as a general guideline for establishing long-run normal prices; however, other considerations, such as could lead management to establish a different short-run price 6. Assume that as of August 1, 3,000 units of flat panel displays have been produced and sold during the current year. Analysis of the domestic market indicates that 2,000 additional units are expected to be sold during the remainder of the year the normal product price determined under the product cost method. On August 3, Crystal Displays Inc. received an offer from Maple Leaf Visual Inc. for 800 units of flat panel displays at $225 each. Maple Leaf Visual Inc. will market the units in Canada under its own brand name, and no variable selling and administrative expenses associated with the sale will be incurred by Crystal Displays Inc. The additional business is not expected to affect the domestic sales of flat panel displays, and the additional units could be produced using existing factory, selling, and administrative capacity. a. Prepare a differential analysis of the proposed sale to Maple Leaf Visual Inc. If an amount is zero, enter "O". Differential Analysis Reject (Alt. 1) or Accept (Alt. 2) Order August 3 Reject Accept Differential Order Order Effects (Alternative 1) (Alternative 2) (Alternative 2) Revenues Costs Variable manufacturing costs bo 00 s Profit (loss) b. Based on the differential analysis in part (a), should the proposal be accepted? Crystal Displays Inc. recently began production of a new product, flat panel displays, which required the investment of $1,500,000 in assets. The costs of producing and selling 5,000 units of flat panel displays are estimated as follows: Variable costs per unit: Fixed costs $120 Direct materials $250,000 Factory overhead 30 150,000 Direct labor Selling and administrative expenses Factory overhead 50 Selling and administrative expenses 35 Total variable cost per unit $235 Crystal Displays Inc. is currently considering establishing a selling price for flat panel displays. The president of Crystal Displays has decided to use the cost-plus approach to product pricing and has indicated that the displays must earn a 15% return on invested assets. Required: Note: Round all markup percentages to two decimal places, if required. Round all costs per unit and selling prices per unit to the nearest whole dollar. 1. Determine the amount of desired profit from the production and sale of flat panel displays. $225,000 2. Assuming that the product cost method is used, determine the following: a. Product cost amount per unit 250 b. Markup percentage 44 9 c. Selling price per unit 360 3. (Appendix) Assuming that the total cost method is used determine the following: a. Total cost amount per unit 315 b. Markup percentage 14.29 c. Selling price per unit 360 4. (Appendix) Assuming that the variable cost method is used, determine the following: a. Variable cost amount per unit s 235 b. Markup percentage 53.19 % c. Selling price per unit 360 5. The cost-plus approach price computed above should be viewed as a general guideline for establishing long-run normal prices; however, other considerations, such as could lead management to establish a different short-run price
