“In my opinion, we ought to stop making our own drums and accept that outside supplier’s offer,” said Wim Niewindt, managing director of Antilles Refining, N.V., of Aruba. “At a price of $19 per drum, we would be paying $5.35 less than it costs us to manufacture the drums in our own plant. Since we use 60,000 drums a year, that would be an annual cost savings of $321,000.” Antilles Refining’s current cost to manufacture one drum is given below (based on 60,000 drums per year):

Direct materials $ 10.45
Direct labor 7.00
Variable overhead 1.50
Fixed overhead ($3.00 general company overhead, $1.70     depreciation, and, $0.70 supervision) 5.40
Total cost per drum $ 24.35

A decision about whether to make or buy the drums is especially important at this time because the equipment being used to make the drums is completely worn out and must be replaced. The choices facing the company are:

Alternative 1: Rent new equipment and continue to make the drums. The equipment would be rented for $168,000 per year.

Alternative 2: Purchase the drums from an outside supplier at $19 per drum.

   

The new equipment would be more efficient than the equipment that Antilles Refining has been using and, according to the manufacturer, would reduce direct labor and variable overhead costs by 20%. The old equipment has no resale value. Supervision cost ($42,000 per year) and direct materials cost per drum would not be affected by the new equipment. The new equipment’s capacity would be 140,000 drums per year.

The company’s total general company overhead would be unaffected by this decision. (Round all intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

  

Required:

1. To assist the managing director in making a decision, prepare an analysis showing the total cost and the cost per drum for each of the two alternatives given above. Assume that 60,000 drums are needed each year.

  
     

a. What will be the total relevant cost of 60,000 drums if they are manufactured internally as compared to being purchased?

    

b. What would be the per unit cost of each drum manufactured internally? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Northwood Company manufactures basketballs. The company has a ball that sells for $25. At present, the ball is manufactured in a small plant that relies heavily on direct labor workers. Thus, variable expenses are high, totaling $15.00 per ball, of which 60% is direct labor cost.

Last year, the company sold 52,000 of these balls, with the following results:

Sales (52,000 balls) $ 1,300,000
Variable expenses 780,000
Contribution margin 520,000
Fixed expenses 321,000
Net operating income $ 199,000

Required:

1. Compute (a) last year's CM ratio and the break-even point in balls, and (b) the degree of operating leverage at last year’s sales level.

1-2. Due to an increase in labor rates, the company estimates that next year's variable expenses will increase by $3.00 per ball. If this change takes place and the selling price per ball remains constant at $25.00, what will be next year's CM ratio and the break-even point in balls?

2. Refer to the data in (1-2) above. If the expected change in variable expenses takes place, how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income, $199,000, as last year?

2-1. Refer again to the data in (1-2) above. The president feels that the company must raise the selling price of its basketballs. If Northwood Company wants to maintain the same CM ratio as last year (as computed in requirement 1a), what selling price per ball must it charge next year to cover the increased labor costs?

3. Refer to the original data. The company is discussing the construction of a new, automated manufacturing plant. The new plant would slash variable expenses per ball by 40.00%, but it would cause fixed expenses per year to double. If the new plant is built, what would be the company’s new CM ratio and new break-even point in balls?

4. Refer to the data in (3) above.

a. If the new plant is built, how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income, $199,000, as last year?

b. Assume the new plant is built and that next year the company manufactures and sells 52,000 balls (the same number as sold last year). Prepare a contribution format income statement and Compute the degree of operating leverage.

Direct labor 7.00
Variable overhead 1.75
Fixed overhead ($3.00 general company overhead, $1.85 depreciation, and $1.05 supervision) 5.90

You have just been hired as a new management trainee by Earrings Unlimited, a distributor of earrings to various retail outlets located in shopping malls across the country. In the past, the company has done very little in the way of budgeting and at certain times of the year has experienced a shortage of cash. Since you are well trained in budgeting, you have decided to prepare a master budget for the upcoming second quarter. To this end, you have worked with accounting and other areas to gather the information assembled below.

The company sells many styles of earrings, but all are sold for the same price—$19 per pair. Actual sales of earrings for the last three months and budgeted sales for the next six months follow (in pairs of earrings):

January (actual) 23,000 June (budget) 53,000
February (actual) 29,000 July (budget) 33,000
March (actual) 43,000 August (budget) 31,000
April (budget) 68,000 September (budget) 28,000
May (budget) 103,000

The concentration of sales before and during May is due to Mother’s Day. Sufficient inventory should be on hand at the end of each month to supply 40% of the earrings sold in the following month.

Suppliers are paid $5.50 for a pair of earrings. One-half of a month’s purchases is paid for in the month of purchase; the other half is paid for in the following month. All sales are on credit. Only 20% of a month’s sales are collected in the month of sale. An additional 70% is collected in the following month, and the remaining 10% is collected in the second month following sale. Bad debts have been negligible.

Monthly operating expenses for the company are given below:

Variable:
Sales commissions 4 % of sales
Fixed:
Advertising $ 350,000
Rent $ 33,000
Salaries $ 136,000
Utilities $ 14,500
Insurance $ 4,500
Depreciation $ 29,000

Insurance is paid on an annual basis, in November of each year.

The company plans to purchase $23,500 in new equipment during May and $55,000 in new equipment during June; both purchases will be for cash. The company declares dividends of $26,250 each quarter, payable in the first month of the following quarter.

The company’s balance sheet as of March 31 is given below:

Assets
Cash $ 89,000
Accounts receivable ($55,100 February sales; $653,600 March sales) 708,700
Inventory 149,600
Prepaid insurance 28,500
Property and equipment (net) 1,100,000
Total assets $ 2,075,800
Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
Accounts payable $ 115,000
Dividends payable 26,250
Common stock 1,100,000
Retained earnings 834,550
Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity $ 2,075,800

The company maintains a minimum cash balance of $65,000. All borrowing is done at the beginning of a month; any repayments are made at the end of a month.

The company has an agreement with a bank that allows the company to borrow in increments of $1,000 at the beginning of each month. The interest rate on these loans is 1% per month and for simplicity we will assume that interest is not compounded. At the end of the quarter, the company would pay the bank all of the accumulated interest on the loan and as much of the loan as possible (in increments of $1,000), while still retaining at least $65,000 in cash.

Required:

Prepare a master budget for the three-month period ending June 30. Include the following detailed schedules:

1. a. A sales budget, by month and in total.

    b. A schedule of expected cash collections, by month and in total.

    c. A merchandise purchases budget in units and in dollars. Show the budget by month and in total.

    d. A schedule of expected cash disbursements for merchandise purchases, by month and in total.

2. A cash budget. Show the budget by month and in total. Determine any borrowing that would be needed to maintain the minimum cash balance of $65,000.

3. A budgeted income statement for the three-month period ending June 30. Use the contribution approach.
