Imperial Jewelers manufactures and sells a gold bracelet for $405.00. The company’s accounting system says that the unit product cost for this bracelet is $261.00 as shown below:

The members of a wedding party have approached Imperial Jewelers about buying 26 of these gold bracelets for the discounted price of $365.00 each. The members of the wedding party would like special filigree applied to the bracelets that would require Imperial Jewelers to buy a special tool for $454 and that would increase the direct materials cost per bracelet by $11. The special tool would have no other use once the special order is completed.

To analyze this special order opportunity, Imperial Jewelers has determined that most of its manufacturing overhead is fixed and unaffected by variations in how much jewelry is produced in any given period. However, $12.00 of the overhead is variable with respect to the number of bracelets produced. The company also believes that accepting this order would have no effect on its ability to produce and sell jewelry to other customers. Furthermore, the company could fulfill the wedding party’s order using its existing manufacturing capacity.

Required:

1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order from the wedding party?

2. Should the company accept the special order?

The Regal Cycle Company manufactures three types of bicycles—a dirt bike, a mountain bike, and a racing bike. Data on sales and expenses for the past quarter follow:

2. Should the production and sale of racing bikes be discontinued?

3. Prepare a properly formatted segmented income statement that would be more useful to management in assessing the long-run profitability of the various product lines.

Carlsbad Corporation's sales are expected to increase from $5 million in 2019 to $6 million in 2020, or by 20%. Its assets totaled $4 million at the end of 2019. Carlsbad is at full capacity, so its assets must grow in proportion to projected sales. At the end of 2019, current liabilities are $1 million, consisting of $250,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $250,000 of accrued liabilities. Its profit margin is forecasted to be 3%.

ATC 15-1 Business Applications Case   Static versus flexible budget variances

David Catrow is the manufacturing production supervisor for Faraday Motor Works (FMW), a company that manufactures electrical motors for industrial applications. Trying to explain why he did not get the year-end bonus that he had expected, he told his wife, “This is the dumbest place I’ve ever worked. Last year the company set up this budget assuming it would sell 150,000 units. Well, it sold only 140,000. The company lost money and gave me a bonus for not using as much materials and labor as was called for in the budget. This year, the company has the same 150,000 units goal and it sells 160,000. The company’s making all kinds of money. You’d think I’d get this big fat bonus. Instead, management tells me I used more materials and labor than was budgeted. They said the company would have made a lot more money if I’d stayed within my budget. I guess I gotta wait for another bad year before I get a bonus. Like I said, this is the dumbest place I’ve ever worked.”

FMW’s master budget and the actual results for the most recent year of operating activity follow.

Required

1. Assume that the company’s materials price variance was favorable and its materials usage variance was unfavorable. Explain why Mr. Catrow may not be responsible for these variances. Now, explain why he may have been responsible for the materials usage variance.
2. Assume the labor price variance is unfavorable. Was the labor usage variance favorable or unfavorable?
3. Is the fixed cost volume variance favorable or unfavorable? Explain the effect of this variance on the cost of each unit produced.
