Problems I. The Svenson Corporation manufactures cellular modems. It manufactures its own cellular modem circuit boards (CMCB), an important part of the cellular modem. It reports the following cost information about the costs of making CMCBs in 2018 and the expected costs in 2019: Current Costs in Expected Costs in 2018 2019 Variable manufacturing costs Direct material cost per CMCB $ 180 S 170 Direct labour cost per CMCB DS 45 Variable manufacturing cost per batch 1,600 1,500 for setups, materials handling, and quality control Fixed manufacturing costs Fixed manufacturing overhead costs that | 320,000 320,000 can be avoided if CMCBs are not made Fixed manufacturing overhead costs of 800.000 plant depreciation, insurance, and administration that cannot be avoided even if CMCBs are not made Svenson manufactured 8,000 CMCBs in 2018 in 40 batches of 200 cach. In 2019, Svenson anticipates needing 10,000 CMCBs. The CMCBs would be produced in 80 batches of 125 each. The Minton Corporation has approached Svenson about supplying CMCBs to Svenson in 2019 at $300 per CMCB on whatever delivery schedule Svenson wants. Required: a) Calculate the total expected manufacturing cost per unit of making CMCBs in 2019. b) Suppose the capacity currently used to make CMCBs will become idle if Svenson purchases CMCBs from Minton. On the basis of financial considerations alone, should Svenson make CMCBs or buy them from Minton? Show your calculations. c) Now suppose that if Svenson purchases CMCBs from Minton, its best alternative use of the capacity currently used for CMCBs is to make and sell special circuit boards (CBSs) to the Essex Corporation. Svenson estimates the following incremental revenues and costs from CB3s: Total expected incremental future revenues $2,000,000 Total expected incremental future costs 2,150,000 On the basis of financial consideration alone, should Svenson make CMCBs or buy them from Minton?
