Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $140 and $100, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $8 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 106,000 units of each product. Its unit costs for each product at this level of activity are given below: |
Alpha | Beta | |||||||
Direct materials | $ | 32 | $ | 16 | ||||
Direct labor | 24 | 19 | ||||||
Variable manufacturing overhead | 10 | 9 | ||||||
Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead | 20 | 22 | ||||||
Variable selling expenses | 16 | 12 | ||||||
Common fixed expenses | 19 | 14 | ||||||
Total cost per unit | $ | 121 | $ | 92 | ||||
The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are deemed unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars. |
5. Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 99,000 Alphas during the current year. One of Cane's sales representatives has found a new customer that is willing to buy 14,000 additional Alphas for a price of $96 per unit. If Cane accepts the customer’s offer, it will decrease Alpha sales to regular customers by 7,000 units.

Sale Proceeds of 99000 Alphas = 99000 x $140 = $13860000 Cost of Goods sold = 99000 x $121 = $11979000 Operating Income = $13860000 - $11979000 = $1881000 Sale Proceeds of 14000 Alphas = 14000 x $96 = $1344000 Sale Proceeds of 92000 Alphas = 92000 x $140 = $12880000 Total Sales Proceeds = $1344000 = $12880000 = $14224000 Cost of Goods Sold of 106000 Alphas = $11979000 + (7000 x variable cost per unit i.e.$121-$20-$19) = $11979000 + $574000 = $12553000 Operating Income After New Order = $14224000 - $12553000 = $1671000 Incremental Operating Income = $1671000 - $1881000 = -$21000 Hence there is a decrease in net operating income by $21000 |

Assume that Cane normally produces and sells 94,000 Betas per year. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, how much will profits increase or decrease? Contribution = Sales - Variable Cost = ($100 - $56) x 94000 = $4136000

Assume that Cane normally produces and sells 44,000 Betas per year. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, how much will profits increase or decrease? Contribution = Sales - Variable Cost = ($100 - $56) x 44000 = $1936000
