Sell or Process Further Abica Coffee Company produces Columbian coffee in batches of 4,300 pounds. The standard quantity of materials required in the process is 4,300 pounds, which cost $6 per pound. Columbian coffee can be sold without further processing for $9 per pound. Columbian coffee can also be processed further to yield Decaf Columbian, which can be sold for $12 per pound. The processing into Decaf Columbian requires additional processing costs of $9,013 per batch. The additional processing also causes a 5% loss of product due to evaporation. a. Prepare a differential analysis dated October 6 on whether to sell regular Columbian (Alternative 1) or process further into Decaf Columbian (Alternative 2). For those boxes in which you must enter subtracted or negative numbers use a minus sign.

know headquarters wants us to add that new product line,” said Dell Havasi, manager of Billings...

know headquarters wants us to add that new product line,” said Dell Havasi, manager of Billings Company’s Office Products Division. “But I want to see the numbers before I make any move. Our division’s return on investment (ROI) has led the company for three years, and I don’t want any letdown.”

     Billings Company is a decentralized wholesaler with five autonomous divisions. The divisions are evaluated on the basis of ROI, with year-end bonuses given to the divisional managers who have the highest ROIs. Operating results for the company’s Office Products Division for the most recent year are given below:


  Sales $ 22,000,000
  Variable expenses 13,500,000
  Contribution margin 8,500,000
  Fixed expenses 6,000,000
  Net operating income $ 2,500,000
  Divisional operating assets $ 4,443,500


     The company had an overall return on investment (ROI) of 16.00% last year (considering all divisions). The Office Products Division has an opportunity to add a new product line that would require an additional investment in operating assets of $2,289,300. The cost and revenue characteristics of the new product line per year would be:


  Sales $ 9,155,000
  Variable expenses 65% of sales
  Fixed expenses $ 2,543,950
Required:
1.

Compute the Office Products Division’s ROI for the most recent year; also compute the ROI as it would appear if the new product line is added. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your Turnover answers to 2 decimal places. Round your Margin and ROI percentage answers to 2 decimal places (i.e., 0.1234 should be entered as 12.34).)

        

2.

If you were in Dell Havasi’s position, would you accept or reject the new product line?

Accept
Reject


3.

Why do you suppose headquarters is anxious for the Office Products Division to add the new product line?

Adding the new line would Increase the company's overall ROI.
Adding the new line would Decrease the company's overall ROI.


4.

Suppose that the company’s minimum required rate of return on operating assets is 13.00% and that performance is evaluated using residual income.


a.

Compute the Office Products Division’s residual income for the most recent year; also compute the residual income as it would appear if the new product line is added. (Enter your Minimum Required Rate as a whole percentage (i.e., 0.12 should be entered as 12).)

             

b.

Under these circumstances, if you were in Dell Havasi’s position, would you accept or reject the new product line?

Accept

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:

Direct materials $ 142
Direct labor 86
Manufacturing overhead 33
Unit product cost $ 261

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?
