Problem 13-18 (Algo) Relevant Cost Analysis in a Variety of Situations [LO13-2, LO13-3, LO13-4] Andretti Company has a single product called a Dak. The company normally produces and sells 81.000 Daks each year at a selling price of $56 per unit. The company's unit costs at this level of activity are given below: A number of questions relating to the production and sale of Daks follow. Each question is independent Required: 1-c. Assume that Andretti Company has sufficient capacity to produce 101,250 Daks each year without any increase in fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The company could increase its unit sales by 25% above the present 81,000 units each year if it were willing to increase the fixed selling expenses by $150.000. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of investing an additional $150,000 in fixed selling expenses? 1-b. Would the additional investment be justified? 2. Assumc again that Andrctti Company has sufficiont capacity to produce 101,250 Daks cach ycar. A customer in a forcign market wants to purchase 20,250 Daks. If Andretti accepts this order it would have to pay import duties on the Daks of $3.70 per unit and an addiliurial $12,150 for perrils arid licerises. The orily selliriy cusls that would be dssucialed will lhe order would be $1.60 per uril shipping cost. What is the break-even price per unit on this order? 3. I he company has 600 Daks on hand that have some irregularities and are theretore considered to be "seconds." Due to the irregularities, it will be impossible to sell these units at the normal price through regular distribution channels. What is the unit cost figure that is relevant for setting a minimum selling price? 4. Due to a strike in its supplier's plant, Andretti Company is unable to purchase more material for the production of Daks. The strike is expected to last for two months Andretti C.ompany has enough material on hand to operate at 25% of normal levels for the two-month period. As an alternative, Andretti could close its plant down entirely for the two months. If the plant were closed, fixed manufacturing overhcad costs would continue at 30% of their normal level during the two month period and the fixed sclling expenses would be reduced by 20% during the two-month period. a. How much total contribution margin will Andretti forgo if it closes the plant for two months? b. How much total fixed cost will the company avold If It closes the plant for two months? c. What is the tinancial advantage (disadvantage) of closing the plant tor the two-month period? d. Should Andretti close the plant for two months? 5. An outside manufacturer has offered to produce 81.000 Daks and ship them directly to Andretti's customers. If Andretti Company accepts this offer. the facilities that it uses to produce Daks would be idle: however. fixed manufacturing overhead costs would be reduced by 30%. Because the outside manufacturer would pay for all shipping costs, the variable selling expenses would be only twothirds of their present amount. What is Andretti's avoidable cost per unit that it should compare to the price quoted by the outside manufacturer? Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below
