P12-43 (similar to) Question Help Rushton 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 * Data Table A6 EX4 Selling price 85 $ 185 $ $ Variable manufacturing cost per unit 40 $ 105 Variable marketing cost per unit 18 $ 33 Budgeted total fixed overhead costs 300,000 $ 525,000 Hours required to produce one unit on the regular machine 1.0 0.5 Additional information includes the following: a. Rushton 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 $525,000 budgeted fixed overhead costs of EX4, $225,000 are lease payments for the high-precision machine. This cost is charged entirely to EX4 because Rushton 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. Print Done X i Requirements 1. What product mix - that is, how many units of A6 and EX4 - will maximize Rushton's operating income? Show your calculations. 2. Suppose Rushton can increase the annual capacity of its regular machines by 12,000 machine-hours at a cost of $60,000. Should Rushton increase the capacity of the regular machines by 12,000 machine hours? By how much will Rushton's operating income increase or decrease? Show your calculations. 3. Suppose that the capacity of the regular machines has been increased to 62,000 hours. Rushton has been approached by Renau Corporation to supply 15,000 units of another cutting tool, V2, for $172 per unit. Rushton must either accept the order for all 15,000 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 $18 per unit.) What product mix should Rushton choose to maximize operating income? Show your calculations.
