P12-43 (similar to) Question Help Lelime Precision Tools makes cutting tools for metalworking operations. It makes two types of tools: A6, a regular cutting tool, and EX4, a high-precision cutting tool. A6 is manufactured on a regular machine, but EX4 must be manufactured on both the regular machine and a high-precision machine. The following information is available: (Click to view the information.) Read the requirements Requirement 1. What product mix that is, how many units of A6 and EX4 - will maximize Lelime's operating income? Show your calculations. (Enter an amount in each input cell including zero balances.) Begin by calculating the benefit from only selling A6 or EX4. A6 EX4 Requirements Hours of constrained resource Less: Net relevant benefit 1. What product mix - that is, how many units of A6 and EX4 - will maximize Lelime's operating income? Show your calculations. 2. Suppose Lelime can increase the annual capacity of its regular machines by 16,000 machine-hours at a cost of $128,000. Should Lelime increase the capacity of the regular machines by 16,000 machine hours? By how much will Lelime's operating income increase or decrease? Show your calculations. 3. Suppose that the capacity of the regular machines has been increased to 66,000 hours. Lelime has been approached by Bale Corporation to supply 25,000 units of another cutting tool, V2, for $125 unit. Lelime must either accept the order for all 25,000 units or reject it totally. V2 is exactly like A6 except that its variable manufacturing cost is $55 per unit. (It takes 1 hour to produce one unit of V2 on the regular machine, and variable marketing cost equals $10 per unit.) What product mix should Lelime choose to maximize operating income? Show your calculations. Print Done Requirement 1. What product mix - that is, how many units of A6 and EX4 - will maximize Lelime's operating income? Show your calculations. (Enter an amount in each input cell including zero balances.) Begin by calculating the benefit from only selling A6 or EX4. A6 EX4 Contribution margin per unit Contribution margin per hour of the constrained resource Fixed costs Lease costs of the high-precision machine Selling price per unit Total contribution margin Total selling price Data Table - A6 EX4 Selling price EA 90 $ 130 Variable manufacturing cost per unit EA 45 $ 75 Variable marketing cost per unit EA 10 $ 30 Budgeted total fixed overhead costs $ 250,000 $ 670,000 Hours required to produce one unit on the regular machine 1.0 0.5 Additional information includes the following: a. Lelime faces a capacity constraint on the regular machine of 50,000 hours per year. b. The capacity of the high-precision machine is not a constraint. c. Of the 5670,000 budgeted fixed overhead costs of EX4, S450,000 are lease payments for the high-precision machine. This cost is charged entirely to EX4 because Lelime uses the machine exclusively to produce EX4. The company can cancel the lease agreement for the high-precision machine at any time without penalties. d. All other overhead costs are fixed and cannot be changed
