Andretti Company has a single product called a Dak. The company normally produces and sells 85,000 Daks each year at a selling price of $56 per unit. The company’s unit costs at this level of activity are given below:

Direct materials $ 7.50
Direct labor 8.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 3.10
Fixed manufacturing overhead 8.00 ($680,000 total)
Variable selling expenses 1.70
Fixed selling expenses 3.50 ($297,500 total)
Total cost per unit $ 31.80

A number of questions relating to the production and sale of Daks follow. Each question is independent.

Required:

1-a. Assume that Andretti Company has sufficient capacity to produce 114,750 Daks each year without any increase in fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The company could increase its unit sales by 35% above the present 85,000 units each year if it were willing to increase the fixed selling expenses by $120,000. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of investing an additional $120,000 in fixed selling expenses?

1-b. Would the additional investment be justified?

2. Assume again that Andretti Company has sufficient capacity to produce 114,750 Daks each year. A customer in a foreign market wants to purchase 29,750 Daks. If Andretti accepts this order it would have to pay import duties on the Daks of $3.70per unit and an additional $17,850 for permits and licenses. The only selling costs that would be associated with the order would be $1.50 per unit shipping cost. What is the break-even price per unit on this order?

3. The company has 700 Daks on hand that have some irregularities and are therefore considered to be "seconds." Due to the irregularities, it will be impossible to sell these units at the normal price through regular distribution channels. What is the unit cost figure that is relevant for setting a minimum selling price?

4. Due to a strike in its supplier’s plant, Andretti Company is unable to purchase more material for the production of Daks. The strike is expected to last for two months. Andretti Company has enough material on hand to operate at 25% of normal levels for the two-month period. As an alternative, Andretti could close its plant down entirely for the two months. If the plant were closed, fixed manufacturing overhead costs would continue at 35% of their normal level during the two-month period and the fixed selling expenses would be reduced by 20% during the two-month period.

a. How much total contribution margin will Andretti forgo if it closes the plant for two months?

b. How much total fixed cost will the company avoid if it closes the plant for two months?

c. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of closing the plant for the two-month period?

d. Should Andretti close the plant for two months?

5. An outside manufacturer has offered to produce 85,000 Daks and ship them directly to Andretti’s customers. If Andretti Company accepts this offer, the facilities that it uses to produce Daks would be idle; however, fixed manufacturing overhead costs would be reduced by 30%. Because the outside manufacturer would pay for all shipping costs, the variable selling expenses would be only two-thirds of their present amount. What is Andretti’s avoidable cost per unit that it should compare to the price quoted by the outside manufacturer?

Green Thumb Gardening is a small gardening service that uses activity-based costing to estimate costs for pricing and other purposes. The proprietor of the company believes that costs are driven primarily by the size of customer lawns, the size of customer garden beds, the distance to travel to customers, and the number of customers. In addition, the costs of maintaining garden beds depends on whether the beds are low maintenance beds (mainly ordinary trees and shrubs) or high maintenance beds (mainly flowers and exotic plants). Accordingly, the company uses the five activity cost pools listed below:

Activity Cost Pool Activity Measure
Caring for lawn Square feet of lawn
Caring for garden beds–low maintenance Square feet of low maintenance beds
Caring for garden beds–high maintenance Square feet of high maintenance beds
Travel to jobs Miles
Customer billing and service Number of customers

The company already has completed its first stage allocations of costs and has summarized its annual costs and activity as follows:

  

Activity Cost Pool Estimated
Overhead
Cost
Expected Activity
Caring for lawn $ 87,400 175,000 square feet of lawn
Caring for garden beds–low maintenance $ 40,000 29,000 square feet of low maintenance beds
Caring for garden beds–high maintenance $ 62,330 23,000 square feet of high maintenance beds
Travel to jobs $ 3,400 20,000 miles
Customer billing and service $ 7,100 28 customers

Required:

Compute the activity rate for each of the activity cost pools. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Caring for lawn (per sq ft of laawn)

Caring for garden bed-low maintenance (per sq ft of low maintenance bed)

Caring for garden bed-high maintenance (per sq ft of high maintenance bed)

Chapter Five mentions two different types of inventory systems: periodic inventory and perpetual inventory. Reflect upon these two types of inventory while answering the following questions: In YOUR OWN words, what is the main difference between these two types of systems? Provide a real-world example of businesses and/or locations that may use EACH type of inventory. Perhaps you have already worked for a company who uses one or the other. (You should have a total of two well-thought out examples. You may NOT use the examples provided in the lecture notes). Explain how you know that the inventory type you described is indeed what the business uses. Was this the most efficient type of inventory for each business? Finally, if you owned your own office supply store, which type of inventory would you use, and why? Explain your answer carefully.

Groleau Corporation has an activity-based costing system with three activity cost pools--Processing, Setting Up, and Other. The company's overhead costs, which consist of factory utilities and indirect labor, are allocated to the cost pools in proportion to the activity cost pools' consumption of resources. Costs in the Processing cost pool are assigned to products based on machine-hours (MHs) and costs in the Setting Up cost pool are assigned to products based on the number of batches. Costs in the Other cost pool are not assigned to products. Data concerning the two products and the company's costs and activity-based costing system appear below:

Factory utilities (total) $ 34,100
Indirect labor (total) $ 10,900
