The Wolverine Corporation is working at full production capacity producing 9,000 units of a unique product, Everlast. Manufacturing cost per unit for Everlast is as follows: (Click the icon to view the cost per unit information.) A customer, the Apex Company, has asked Wolverine to produce 3,500 units of Stronglast, a modification of Everlast. Stronglast would require the same manufacturing processes as Everlast. Apex has offered to pay Wolverine $31 for a unit of Stronglast plus half of the marketing cost per unit. Read the requirements. Requirement 1. What is the opportunity cost to Wolverine of producing the 3,500 units of Stronglast? (Assume that no overtime is worked.) ( Total variable cost p per unit )* Determine the formula for calculating the opportunity cost, then calculate the opportunity cost of producing the 3,500 units of Stronglast Selling price per unit ( $ 38 $ 20 Units 3,500 = $ Opportunity cost 63,000 Requirement 2. The Chesapeake Corporation has offered to produce 3,500 units of Everlast for Wolverine so that Wolverine may accept the Apex offer. That is, if Wolverine accepts the Chesapeake offer, Wolverine would manufacture 5,500 units of Everlast and 3,500 units cf Stronglast and purchase 3,500 units of Everlast from Chesapeake Chesapeake would charge Wolverine $29 per unit to manufacture Everlast. On the basis of financial considerations alone, should Wolverine accept the Apex offer? Show your calculations. Wolverine is considering manufacturing 5,500 units of Everlast and 3,500 units of Stronglast and purchasing 3,500 units of Everlast from Chesapeake. Chesapeake would charge Wolverine $29 per unit to manufacture Everlast. Begin by completing the following table for manufactured Stronglast units and purchased Everlast units.

On the basis of financial considerations alone, should Wolverine accept the Chesapeake offer? Show your calculations. 3. Suppose Wolverine had been working at less than full capacity, producing 5,500 units of Everlast, at the time the Apex offer was made. Calculate the minimum price Wolverine should accept for Stronglast under these conditions.
