Problem 6-19 Break-Even Analysis; Pricing [LO6-1, LO6-4, LO6-5] Minden Company introduced a new product last year for which it is trying to find an optimal selling price. Marketing studies suggest that the company can increase sales by 5,000 units for each $2 reduction in the selling price. The company’s present selling price is $96 per unit, and variable expenses are $66 per unit. Fixed expenses are $832,200 per year. The present annual sales volume (at the $96 selling price) is 25,300 units. Required: 1. What is the present yearly net operating income or loss? 2. What is the present break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales? 3. Assuming that the marketing studies are correct, what is the maximum annual profit that the company can earn? At how many units and at what selling price per unit would the company generate this profit? 4. What would be the break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales using the selling price you determined in (3) above (e.g., the selling price at the level of maximum profits)?

The Phone Company has the following costs of producing and selling a cell phone when it produces and sells 100,000 cell phones per month: Per unit manufacturing cost Direct materials $60.00 Direct labor 10.00 Variable manufacturing overhead cost 35.00 Fixed manufacturing overhead cost 20.00 Per unit selling cost Variable 25.00 Fixed 10.00 Note that ‘100,000’ is the denominator used to calculate fixed costs per unit. Total fixed costs do not change regardless of production/sales level. The selling price of a cell phone is $250, unless otherwise stated in the questions below. Each situation below is independent of the other situations. That is, when you answer one question, assume that the situations described in other questions have not occurred. When you are considering opportunities for increased sales, assume that Phone Company has enough manufacturing capacity to make these sales without incurring additional fixed costs (i.e., it has excess capacity). S

The Phone Company has received an offer by a contract supplier to make and ship the Phone Company’s cell phone (100,000 units) directly to the Phone Company’s customers. The Phone Company will continue to do some product design and marketing but will no longer manufacture the phones itself. If the Phone Company accepts this offer, its variable manufacturing costs would be $0 and its fixed manufacturing cost would be reduced by 75% of its current level. In addition, its variable selling cost would decrease by one-third and its fixed selling cost would not change. How much per cell phone could the Phone Company pay the contract supplier if it wants to maintain its present level of operating income?

Alton Inc. is working at full production capacity producing 40,000 units of a unique product. Manufacturing costs per unit for the product are as follows: Direct materials $ 11 Direct labor 10 Manufacturing overhead 12 Total manufacturing cost per unit $ 33 The per-unit manufacturing overhead cost is based on a $6 variable cost per unit and $240,000 fixed costs. The nonmanufacturing costs, all variable, are $8 per unit, and the sales price is $68 per unit. Sports Headquarters Company (SHC) has asked Alton to produce 6,600 units of a modification of the new product. This modification would require the same manufacturing processes. However, because of the nature of the proposed sale, the estimated nonmanufacturing costs per unit are only $4 (not $8). Alton would sell the modified product to SHC for $53 per unit. Required 1-a. Calculate the contribution margin for 6,600 units for both the current and special order. 1-b. Should Alton produce the special order for SHC? 2. Suppose that Alton Inc. had been working at less than full capacity to produce 34,000 units of the product when SHC made the offer. What is the minimum price per unit that Alton should accept for the modified product under these conditions?

MicroMem is a​ fast-growing manufacturer of computer chips. Direct materials are added at the start of the production process. Conversion costs are added evenly during the process. Some units of this product are spoiled as a result of defects not detectable before inspection of finished goods. Spoiled units are disposed of at zero net disposal value. MicroMem uses the​ weighted-average method of process costing. Summary data for September 2017 are as​ follows:

Physical Units (Computer Chips) Direct Materials Conversion Costs
Work in process, beginning inventory (September 1) 1,400 $ 117,532 $ 17,087
Degree of completion of beginning work in progress 100% 30%
Started during September 1,964
Good units completed and transferred out during September 2,200
Work in process, ending inventory (September 30) 540
Degree of completion of ending work in process 100% 25%
Total costs added during September $ 575,452 $ 228,510
Normal spoilage as a percentage of good units 15%
Degree of completion of normal spoilage 100% 100%
Degree of completion of abnormal spoilage 100% 100%

1.

For each cost​ category, compute equivalent units. Show physical units in the first column of your schedule.

2.

Summarize the total costs to account​ for; calculate the cost per equivalent unit for each cost​ category; and assign costs to units completed and transferred out​(including normal​ spoilage), to abnormal​ spoilage, and to units in ending work in process.
