Differential Analysis for Further Processing

The management of International Aluminum Co. is considering whether to process aluminum ingot further into rolled aluminum. Rolled aluminum can be sold for $2,200 per ton, and ingot can be sold without further processing for $1,100 per ton. Ingot is produced in batches of 80 tons by smelting 500 tons of bauxite, which costs $105 per ton of bauxite. Rolled aluminum will require additional processing costs of $620 per ton of ingot, and 1.25 tons of ingot will produce 1 ton of rolled aluminum (due to trim losses).

Required:

1. Prepare a differential analysis as of February 5 to determine whether to sell aluminum ingot (Alternative 1) or process further into rolled aluminum (Alternative 2). Use a minus sign to indicate subtracted amounts, negative amounts, or a loss.

Troy Engines, Ltd., manufactures a variety of engines for use in heavy equipment. The company has always produced all of the necessary parts for its engines, including all of the carburetors. An outside supplier has offered to sell one type of carburetor to Troy Engines, Ltd., for a cost of $39 per unit. To evaluate this offer, Troy Engines, Ltd., has gathered the following information relating to its own cost of producing the carburetor internally:

Per Unit 21,000 Units
per Year
Direct materials $ 18 $ 378,000
Direct labor 11 231,000
Variable manufacturing overhead 3 63,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead, traceable 3 * 63,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead, allocated 6 126,000
Total cost $ 41 $ 861,000

*One-third supervisory salaries; two-thirds depreciation of special equipment (no resale value).

Required:

1. Assuming the company has no alternative use for the facilities that are now being used to produce the carburetors, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 21,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?

2. Should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted? yes or no

3. Suppose that if the carburetors were purchased, Troy Engines, Ltd., could use the freed capacity to launch a new product. The segment margin of the new product would be $210,000 per year. Given this new assumption, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 21,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?

4. Given the new assumption in requirement 3, should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted? yes or no

Lou Barlow, a divisional manager for Sage Company, has an opportunity to manufacture and sell one of two new products for a five-year period. His annual pay raises are determined by his division’s return on investment (ROI), which has exceeded 22% each of the last three years. He has computed the cost and revenue estimates for each product as follows:

  

Product A Product B
Initial investment:
Cost of equipment (zero salvage value) $ 370,000 $ 570,000
Annual revenues and costs:
Sales revenues $ 400,000 $ 480,000
Variable expenses $ 182,000 $ 214,000
Depreciation expense $ 74,000 $ 114,000
Fixed out-of-pocket operating costs $ 88,000 $ 68,000

  

The company’s discount rate is 20%.

I have solved the following:

1. Calculate the payback period for each product. - Product A = 2.85 Product B = 2.88

2. Calculate the net present value for each product. - Product A = $18,830 Product B = $22,218

Having trouble trying to solve these:

3. Calculate the internal rate of return for each product. (Round percentage answers to 1 decimal place. i.e. 0.1234 should be considered as 12.3% and round discount factor(s) to 3 decimal places.)

4. Calculate the project profitability index for each product. (Round discount factor(s) to 3 decimal places. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

5. Calculate the simple rate of return for each product. (Round percentage answers to 1 decimal place. i.e. 0.1234 should be considered as 12.3%.)

6a. For each measure, identify whether Product A or Product B is preferred.

During their senior year at Clarkson College, two business students, Gerry Keating and Louis Lamont, began a part-time business making personal computers. They bought the various components from a local supplier and assembled the machines in the basement of a friend’s house. Their only cost was $359 for parts; they sold each computer for $638. They were able to make three machines per week and to sell them to fellow students. The activity was appropriately called Keating & Lamont Computers (KLC). The product quality was good, and as graduation approached, orders were coming in much faster than KLC could fill them.

A national CPA firm made Ms. Lamont an attractive offer of employment, and a large electronics company was ready to hire Mr. Keating. Students and faculty at Clarkson College, however, encouraged the two to make KLC a full-time venture. The college administration had decided to require all students in the schools of business and engineering to buy their own computers beginning in the coming fall term. It was believed that the quality and price of the KLC machines would attract the college bookstore to sign a contract to buy a minimum of 1,000 units the first year for $501 each. The bookstore sales were likely to reach 2,000 units per year, but the manager would not make an initial commitment beyond 1,000.

The prospect of $501,000 in annual sales for KLC caused the two young entrepreneurs to wonder about the wisdom of accepting their job offers. Before making a decision, they decided to investigate the implications of making KLC a full-time operation. Their study provided the following information relating to the production of their computers:

Components from wholesaler $ 238 per computer
Assembly labor 14.20 per hour
Manufacturing space rent 2,170 per month
Utilities 420 per month
Janitorial services 320 per month
Depreciation of equipment 2,870 per year
Labor 2 hours per computer


The two owners expected to devote their time to the sales and administrative aspects of the business.

Required

  1. Classify each cost item into the categories of direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead.

  2. Classify each cost item as either variable or fixed.

  3. What is the cost per computer if KLC produces 1,000 units per year? What is the cost per unit if KLC produces 2,000 units per year?

  4. If the job offers for Mr. Keating and Ms. Lamont totaled $93,000, would you recommend that they accept the offers or proceed with plans to make KLC a full-time venture?
