Required information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Morning Sky, Incorporated (MSI), manufactures and sells computer games. The company has several product lines based on the age range of the target market. MSI sells both individual games as well as packaged sets. All games are in CD format, and some utilize accessories such as steering wheels, electronic tablets, and hand controls. To date, MSI has developed and manufactured all the CDs itself as well as the accessories and packaging for all of its products. The gaming market has traditionally been targeted at teenagers and young adults; however, the increasing affordability of computers and the incorporation of computer activities into juniodhigh and elementary school curriculums has led to a significant increase in sales to younger children. MSI has always included games for younger children but now wants to expand its business to capitalize on changes in the industry. The company currently has excess capacity and is investigating several possible ways to improve profitability. MSt has been approached by a fourth-grade teacher from Portland about the possibility of creating a specially designed game that would be customized for her classroom and environment. The teacher would like an educational game to correspond to her classroom coverage of the history of the Pacific Northwest, and the state of Oregon in particulac. MSI has not sold its products directly to teachers or school systems in the past, but its Marketing Department identified that possibility during a recent meeting The teacher has offered to buy 2,600 coples of the CD at a price of $5.00 each. MSI could easily modify one of its existing educational programs about U.S. history to accommodate the request. The modifications would cost approximately $380. A summary of the information related to production of MSi's current history program follows: birect materials Direct labor 1. Compute the incremental profit (or loss) from accepting the special order. 2. Should MSI accept the special order? 3. Suppose the special order had been to purchase 2,600 copies of the program for $1.50 each. Compute the incremental profit (or loss) from accepting the special order under this scenario. 4. Suppose MSI is operating at full capacity. To accept the special order, it would have to reduce production of the history program.

To date, MSI has developed and manufactured all the CDs itself as well as the accessories and packaging for all of its products. The gaming market has traditionally been targeted at teenagers and young adults; however, the increasing affordability of computers and the incorporation of computer activities into junior high and elementary school curriculums has led to a significant increase in sales to younger children. MSI has always included games for younger children but now wants to expand its business to capitalize on changes in the industry. The company currently has excess capacity and is investigating several possible ways to improve profitability. MSI is considering outsourcing the production of the handheld control module used with some of its products. The company has information pertains to MSi's production of the control modules: 17,000 units of the module per yoar for $32.00 each. The following MSi has determined it could eliminate all variable costs if the control modules were produced extemally, but none of the fixed production. Required: 1. Compute the difference in cost between making and buying the control modulo. MSI has determined it could eliminate all variable costs if the control modules were produced externally, but none of the fixed overhead is avoidable. At this time, MSI has no specific use in mind for the space that is currently dedicated to the control module Production. 1. Compute the difference in cost between making and buying the control module. 2. Should MSI buy the modules from MLC or continue to make them? 3-a. Suppose the MSI space currently used for the modules could be utilized by a new product line that would generate $43,000 in annual profit. Recompute the difference in cost between making and buying under this scenario. 3-b. Does this change your recommendation to MSI? Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below.

This collection is aimed at chadren one to three years of ige and includes "tours" of a hypothetical town. Two products, The Pet Store Parade and Grocery Getaway, have impressive sales. However, sales for the third CO in the collection, Post Otfice Polka (POP), have lagged the others. Several other CDs are planned for this collection, but none is ready for production. MSr's information reloted to the ToddleTown Tours collection follows: "Allocated based on totar soles revenue: MSi has determined that elimination of the Post Office Polka (POP) program would not impect sales of the other two items.
