An order has been received from a customer in a foreign market for 1,000 units. Fixed costs, both manufacturing and selling and administrative, are constant within the relevant range between 8,000 and 10,000 units per month. The variable selling and administrative costs would have to be incurred for this special order as well as all other sales. Assume direct labor is a variable cost. 1. The order would not affect current sales. How much will the company's net operating income be increased or (decreased) if it prices the 1,000 units in the special order at $6 each? A. $(500). $400. $2,500 D. $1,000 83 D Net benefits from sale of each unit = ($6 [$1.00 + $2.00 + $0.50 + $1.50]) = $1/unit. Net benefits from sale of 1,000 units in the special order = $1(1,000) = $1,000 2. Suppose the order would reduce regular sales by 200 units; regular units sell for $8 per item. How much will the company's net operating income be increased or (decreased) if it prices the 1,000 units in the special order at $6 each? A. $(600). $400. $600 D. $1,000 83 As in the last question, net benefits from sale of each unit = ($6 [$1.00 + $2.00 + $0.50 + $1.50]) = $1/unit. Net benefits from sale of 1,000 units in the special order = $1(1,000) = $1,000 Now have an opportunity cost which is 200($8 [$1+$2+$.50+$1.50] = $600, so the net benefit is $400. 3. Assume the company has 50 units left over from last year which have small defects; these units will either be scrapped (thrown away) or sold at a reduced price. What is the minimum price for which the company would sell these units; i.e., what is the price at which the company would just break-even on selling the units. Sale of the defective units would have no effect on the company's other sales. A. $6.50. $5.00. $1.50 D. $3.50 84 Only the variable selling cost per unit is relevant, since all other costs are sunk. 1 2
4. Two products, TD and I, emerge from a joint process. Product TD has been allocated $31,200 of the total joint costs of $48,000. A total of 5,000 units of product TD are produced from the joint process. Product TD can be sold at the split-off point for $24 per unit, or it can be processed further for an additional total cost of $15,000 and then sold for $26 per unit. If product TD is processed further and sold, what would be the effect on the overall profit of the company compared with sale in its unprocessed form directly after the split-off point? A. $10,000 less profit. $115,000 more profit. $36,200 less profit D. $26,200 more profit 55 E ash profits if sell immediately = ($24/unit)(5,000 units) = $120,000 ash profits if process further =($26/unit)(5,000 units) - $15,000 = $115,000 Thus, if process further, profits will decline by $5,000. 5. A study has been conducted to determine if one of the departments in Parry ompany should be discontinued. The contribution margin in the department is $50,000 per year. Fixed expenses charged to the department are $65,000 per year. It is estimated that $40,000 of these fixed expenses could be eliminated if the department is discontinued. These data indicate that if the department is discontinued, the company's overall net operating income would: A. decrease by $25,000 per year. increase by $25,000 per year. decrease by $10,000 per year D. increase by $10,000 per year 36 Fixed costs saved by shutting the department Lost M by shutting the department Net loss $ 40,000 (50,000) $ (10,000) 6. Scales orporation has received a request for a special order of 6,000 units of product Y45 for $13.70 each. Product Y45's unit product cost is $11.50, determined as follows: Direct materials $ 2.50 Direct labor 1.90 Variable manufacturing overhead 2.30 Fixed manufacturing overhead 4.80 Unit product cost $ 11.50 Direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company's total fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The customer would like modifications made to product Y45 that would add $8.10 per unit to the variable costs to make Y45 and that would require an investment of $20,000 in special molds that would have no salvage value. This special order would have no effect on the company's other sales. The company has ample spare capacity for producing the special order. If the special order is accepted, the company's overall net operating income would increase (decrease) by: A. $(26,600). $13,200. $(55,400) D. $(21,300) 47N A Impact on profits = Revenues [V + Avoidable F + Opportunity cost] = ($13.70)(6,000) [($2.50 + $1.90 + $2.30 + $8.10)6,000 + $20,000 + $0] = $82,200 [$88,800 + $20,000 + $0] = $(26,600) 7. Sheela Dairy orporation buys unprocessed cows' milk from local farmers. At the dairy, this unprocessed milk is broken down into cream and low-fat milk. The cream can be sold at this point or can be further processed into butter. Which of the following would be relevant in the decision to further process the cream into butter? A. the amount paid to the farmers to purchase the unprocessed milk.. the cost of breaking down the unprocessed milk into cream and low-fat milk.. the portion of corporate fixed expenses that are currently being allocated to cream D. none of the above D Only the profits from selling the product immediately or the profits from processing the product further are relevant. 8. Hobbins orporation makes three products that use compound W, the current constrained resource. Data concerning those products appear below: R UT DQ $150.25 $225.36 $84.84 Variable cost per unit $122.25 $162.36 $65.66 entiliters of compound W 2.50 3.60 1.40 Rank the products in order of their current profitability from most profitable to least profitable. In other words, rank the products in the order in which they should be emphasized. A. UT, R, DQ. DQ, R, UT. R, DQ, UT D. UT, DQ, R ; some other ordering is best. D R $ 150.25 122.25 UT $ 225.36 162.36 DQ $ 84.84 65.66 Variable cost per unit M per unit $ 28.00 $ 63.00 $ 19.18 M per centiliter of W $ 11.20 $ 17.50 $ 13.70 Thus, with limited W will make UT first, DQ second and R last 9. Green ompany produces 1,000 parts per year, which are used in the assembly of one of its products. The unit product cost of these parts is: Variable manufacturing cost $ 12 Fixed manufacturing cost 9 Unit product cost $ 21 The part can be purchased from an outside supplier at $20 per unit. If the part is purchased from the outside supplier, two thirds of the fixed manufacturing costs can be eliminated. The annual impact on the company's net operating income as a result of buying the part from the outside supplier would be: A. $1,000 increase. $1,000 decrease. $5,000 increase D. $2,000 decrease 40 D The cost to buy the parts from the outside supplier = ($20/unit)(1,000 units) = $20,000. The cost to make the parts = ($12/unit)(1,000 units) +(2/3)($9/unit)(1,000 units) = $18,000. Thus, profits would decrease by $2,000 if the parts are purchased. 3 4
10. Which of the following is an assumption that is NOT made in most cost-volume-profit calculations? A. The selling price is constant. Fixed costs per unit do not change throughout the relevant range.. There is no change in inventory levels. D. In a multiproduct company, the sales mix does not change. E. All of the above are assumptions of the cost-volume-profit model. Total fixed costs are constant, but not the fixed cost per unit. 11. If company A has a higher degree of operating leverage than company, then: A. company A has higher variable expenses.. company A's profits are more sensitive to percentage changes in sales.. company A is more profitable. D. company A is less risky. 6 With a higher degree of operating leverage, company A s income will fluctuate more with changes in sales. 12. Last year, Twins ompany reported $750,000 in sales (25,000 units) and a net operating income of $25,000. At the break-even point, the company's total contribution margin equals $500,000. ased on this information, the company's: A. contribution margin ratio is 40%.. break-even point is 24,000 units.. variable cost per unit is $9. D. variable costs are 60% of sales. 29 Price per unit = $750,000/25,000 units = $30/unit If total M = $500,000 at the break-even point, then F = $500,000. Let X = M/unit; $25,000 = X(25,000 units) - $500,000; X= $21/unit Thus, the V per unit = $30 - $21 = $9/unit 13. Pilkinton orporation has provided its contribution format income statement for July. The company produces and sells a single product. Sales (9,900 units) $ 772,200 Variable expenses 396,000 Total contribution margin $ 376,200 Fixed expenses 328,900 Net operating income $ 47,300 If the company sells 10,300 units, its total contribution margin will be: A. $49,211. $391,400. $407,400 D. $376,200 33 M/unit = $376,200/(9,900 units) = $38/unit For 10,300 units, the contribution margin = ($38/unit)(10,300 units) = $391,400 14. Forest orporation has prepared the following budgeted data based on a sales forecast of $3,000,000: Variable Fixed Direct materials $ 800,000 Direct labor 700,000 Manufacturing overhead 300,000 $ 450,000 Selling expenses 120,000 180,000 Administrative expenses 30,000 70,000 What would be the amount of dollar sales at the break-even point? A. $1,125,000. $2,000,000. $2,650,000 D. $1,750,000 Total M = $3,000,000 ($800,000+$700,000+$300,000+$120,000+$30,000) = $1,050,000 M ratio = $1,050,000/$3,000,000 = 35% Total F = $450,000 +$180,000 + $70,000 = $700,000 To find break-even sales: 0 =.35(S) -$700,000, or S = $2,000,000 15. Seyal Inc.'s contribution margin ratio is 55% and its fixed monthly expenses are $34,000. Assuming that the fixed monthly expenses do not change, what is the best estimate of the company's net operating income in a month when sales are $94,000? A. $18,700. $60,000. $8,300 D. $51,700 E NI = (.55)($94,000) - $34,000 = $17,700 16. Last year, Perry ompany reported profits of $4,200. Its variable costs totaled $66,000 or $6 per unit. The unit contribution margin was $3.00. The break-even point in unit sales for Perry ompany is: (If necessary, round to the nearest whole number.) A. 11,000 units. 9,600 units. 22,000 units D. 12,400 units 62 Number of units produced and sold when profits were $4,200 equals: $66,000/$6 = 11,000 units. To find the F: $4,200 = ($3/units)(11,000 units) F, or F = $28,800. To find break-even units: 0 = ($3/units)(X units) - $28,800, or X = 9,600 units 5 6
17. Austin Manufacturing had the following operating data for the year just ended. $60/unit Variable cost per unit $22/unit Total fixed costs $504,000 Management plans to improve the quality of its only product by: (1) replacing a component that costs $3.50 with a higher-grade component that costs $5.50; and (2) renting a packing machine for $18,000 a year. If the desired target profit is $288,000, the company must sell: (If necessary, round to the nearest whole number.) A. 19,300 units. 21,316 units. 22,500 units D. 20,842 units 73 New M per unit = $60 - $22 - $2 = $36 per unit New F = $504,000 + $18,000 =$522,000 $288,000 = ($36/unit)(X units) - $522,000, or X = 22,500 units Use the following information for questions 20 and 21: Merced orporation has provided the following budgeted data: Fixed costs $100,000 Variable costs $180,000 Sales per period 15,000 units $20/unit 20. The break-even point in units is equal to: (If necessary, round to the nearest whole number.) A. 14,000 units. 75,002 units. 15,000 units D. 16,000 units 126 E V/unit = $180,000/15,000 = $12/unit 0 = ($20 - $12)X - $100,000, or X = 12,500 units 18. Lempka orporation produces and sells a single product. Data concerning that product appear below: $190.00/unit Variable cost per unit 91.20/unit Total fixed cost per month $395,200 If the tax rate is 40% of income before taxes, how many units must the company sell to reach a target after-tax net income of $10,200? (If necessary, round to the nearest whole unit.) A. 4,172 units. 4,520 units. 2,169 units D. 3,620 units 74 A ompute a before-tax target net income: $10,200 = (.4)(NIT), or NIT = $17,000. $17,000 = ($190 - $91.20)X - $395,200; or X = 4,172 (rounded) 21. If the variable cost per unit is increased by 10 percent, and if the total fixed costs are increased by $20,000 with the selling price remaining unchanged at $20, the break-even point in units will be: (If necessary, round to the nearest whole number.) A. 14,706 units. 9,091 units. 17,647 units D. 15,000 units 128 New variable cost per unit = $12(1.1) = $13.20/unit New total fixed costs = $20,000 + $100,000 = $120,000 0 = ($20 - $13.20)X - $120,000, or X = 17,647 units (rounded) 19. Foremost produces two products whose manufacturing costs per unit are as listed below: First product Second product Direct materials $20.00 $10.00 Direct labor 10.00 7.00 Overhead 30.00 6.00 Half of the overhead is variable overhead. The company sells the first product for $100 and the second for $50; a commission equal to 10% of the sales price is paid to the sales person for each sale. Total fixed costs (including fixed overhead) come to $165,000. How many units of each product must be sold for the company to break-even? The company expects to maintain a constant sales mix, with the First product making up 40% of all units sold. First product Second product A. 2,000 units 3,000 units. 3,000 units 2,000 units. 2,200 units 3,300 units D. 2,500 units 3,750 units A M on the First product = $100 ($20 + $10 + $15 + 10%($100)) = $45 M on the Second product = $50 ($10 + $7 + $3+ 10%($50)) = $25. Weighted average M =.4($45) +.6($25) = $33/average unit 0 = ($33)(T) - $165,000, or T = 5,000 units. First product =.4(5,000 units) = 2,000 units; Second product =.6(5000 units) = 3,000 units. 22. harrd orporation manufactures a gas operated barbecue grill. The following information relates to harrd's operations for last year: Unit product cost under absorption costing $46/unit Fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the year $300,000 Fixed selling and administrative cost for the year $125,000 Units (grills) produced and sold 25,000 units If harrd uses variable costing, what is its product cost per unit? A. $29. $34. $58 D. $63 29 FOH/unit = $300,000/(25,000 units) = $12/unit Variable cost per unit = Absorption cost per unit FOH per unit $46 - $12 = $34/unit 7 8
Use the following information for questions 23 and 24: A manufacturing company that produces a single product has provided the following data concerning its most recent month of operations: Units in beginning inventory 0 units Units produced 6,500 units Units sold 6,300 units Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 26 Direct labor 55 Variable manufacturing overhead 6 Variable selling and administrative 7 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 130,000 Fixed selling and administrative 69,300 23. What is the absorption costing unit product cost for the month? A. $107. $94. $87 D. $114 A Absorption cost per unit = Variable and fixed manufacturing costs per unit = $26 + $55 + $6 + $130,000/6,500 = $107 24. If absorption income for the month was $176,000, what would variable costing income equal? A. $172,000. $176,000. $180,000 D. $169,868 A 200 units were produced and added to the inventory. Absorption costing includes FOH/unit = $130,000/6,500 = $20/unit. Hence with absorption costing 200($20/unit) = $4,000 in FOH was deferred to the inventory and thus not an expense of the period. Thus, variable costing income equals $176,000 - $4,000 = $172,000 25. Atlantic ompany produces a single product. For the most recent year, the company's net operating income computed by the absorption costing method was $7,400, and its net operating income computed by the variable costing method was $10,100. The company's unit product cost was $17 under variable costing and $22 under absorption costing. If the ending inventory consisted of 1,460 units, the beginning inventory must have been: A. 920 units. 1,460 units. 2,000 units D. 12,700 units $10,100 - $7,400 = $2,700 in FOH was taken out of the inventory using the absorption costing method. The FOH/unit = $22 - $17 = $5/unit, or $2,700/$5 = 540 units were removed from the inventory during the period. Thus, if the ending inventory was 1,460 units, the beginning inventory = 1,460 + 540 = 2,000 units. Use the following information for questions 26 and 27: Indiana orporation produces a single product that it sells for $9 per unit. During the first year of operations, 100,000 units were produced and 90,000 units were sold. Manufacturing costs and selling and administrative expenses for the year were as follows: Fixed costs Variable osts Direct materials $1.75 per unit Direct labor $1.25 per unit Factory overhead $100,000 $0.50 per unit Selling and administrative $70,000 $0.60 per unit 26. What was Indiana orporation's net operating income for the year using variable costing? A. $181,000. $271,000. $281,000 D. $371,000 38 Variable costing is like the VP model: Income = (90,000 units sold)($9 [$1.75+$1.25+$0.50+$0.60]) -$170,000 = $271,000 27. What was Indiana orporation s net operating income for the year using throughput costing? A. $181,000. $253,500. $271,000 D. $320,000 Revenues $9(90,000) $ 810,000 Direct materials $1.75(90,000) (157,500) All direct labor $1.25(100,000) (125,000) All overhead $100,000 + $0.50(100,000) (150,000) All S&A $70,000 + $0.60(90,000) (124,000) Net Income $ 253,500 28. Schrick Inc. manufactures a variety of products. Variable costing net operating income was $86,800 last year and ending inventory increased by 1,900 units. Fixed manufacturing overhead cost was $6 per unit. What was the absorption costing net operating income last year? A. $86,800. $75,400. $98,200 D. $11,400 49 Absorption income deferred 1,900($6/unit) = $11,400 in FOH to the inventory during the year; hence absorption income = $86,800 + $11,400 = $98,200. 9 10
Use the following information for questions 29 and 30: Harris ompany produces a single product. Last year, Harris manufactured 17,000 units and sold 13,000 units. Production costs for the year were as follows: Direct materials $ 153,000 Direct labor 110,500 Variable manufacturing overhead 204,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead 255,000 Sales were $780,000 for the year, variable selling and administrative expenses were $88,400, and fixed selling and administrative expenses were $170,000. There was no beginning inventory. Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. 29. The contribution margin per unit was: A. $17.50. $32.50. $27.30 D. $25.70 51 D Price = $780,000/13,000 = $60/unit V/unit = ($153,000 + $110,500 + $204,000)/17,000 + $88,400/13,000 = $27.50 + $6.80 = $34.30 M/unit = $60 - $34.30 = $25.70 30. Under absorption costing, the carrying value on the balance sheet of the ending inventory for the year would be: A. $190,800. $170,000. $230,800 D. $0 Absorption cost per unit = ($153,000 + $110,500 + $204,000 + $255,000)/17,000 = $42.50/unit. Left in the inventory = 17,000 13,000 = 4,000 units. The absorption cost of these units = (4,000 units)($42.50/unit) = $170,000. 11
