Vernon Modems has excess production capacity and is considering the possibility of making and selling paging equipment. The following estimates are based on a production and sales volume of 2,800 pagers: Unit-level manufacturing costs are expected to be $38. Sales commissions will be established at $2.8 per unit. The current facility-level costs, including depreciation on manufacturing equipment ($78,000), rent on the manufacturing facility ($68,000), depreciation on the administrative equipment ($17,400), and other fixed administrative expenses ($80,950), will not be affected by the production of the pagers. The chief accountant has decided to allocate the facility-level costs to the existing product (modems) and to the new product (pagers) on the basis of the number of units of product made (i.e., 6,800 modems and 2,800 pagers). Required a. Determine the per-unit cost of making and selling 2,800 pagers. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) b. Assuming the pagers could be sold at a price of $52 each, should Vernon make the pagers? &Answer is complete but not entirely correct. $81.525 a. Cost per unit b. Should Vernon make the pagers? Yes
