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?

Problem 10-13 Basic Variance Analysis; the Impact of Variances on Unit Costs [LO10-1, LO10-2, LO10-3]

Koontz Company manufactures a number of products. The standards relating to one of these products are shown below, along with actual cost data for May.

The production superintendent was pleased when he saw this report and commented: “This $0.84 excess cost is well within the 4 percent limit management has set for acceptable variances. It's obvious that there's not much to worry about with this product."

Actual production for the month was 15,000 units. Variable overhead cost is assigned to products on the basis of direct labor-hours. There were no beginning or ending inventories of materials.

Required:

1. Compute the following variances for May:

a. Materials price and quantity variances.

b. Labor rate and efficiency variances.

c. Variable overhead rate and efficiency variances.

2. How much of the $0.84 excess unit cost is traceable to each of the variances computed in (1) above.

3. How much of the $0.84 excess unit cost is traceable to apparent inefficient use of labor time?

Equivalent Units of Production

The Converting Department of Hopkinsville Company had 640 units in work in process at the beginning of the period, which were 70% complete. During the period, 13,600 units were completed and transferred to the Packing Department. There were 720 units in process at the end of the period, which were 60% complete. Direct materials are placed into the process at the beginning of production.

Determine the number of equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion costs. If an amount is zero, enter in "0".

Direct Method, Reciprocal Method, Overhead Rates

Macalister Corporation is developing departmental overhead rates based on direct labor hours for its two production departments—Molding and Assembly. The Molding Department employs 23 people, and the Assembly Department employs 78 people. Each person in these two departments works 2,150 hours per year. The production-related overhead costs for the Molding Department are budgeted at $186,000, and the Assembly Department costs are budgeted at $84,000. Two support departments—Engineering and General Factory—directly support the two production departments and have budgeted costs of $204,000 and $370,000, respectively. The production departments’ overhead rates cannot be determined until the support departments’ costs are properly allocated. The following schedule reflects the use of the Engineering Department’s and General Factory Department’s output by the various departments.

For all requirements, round allocation ratios to four significant digits and round allocated costs to the nearest dollar.

Required:

1. Calculate the overhead rates per direct labor hour for the Molding Department and the Assembly Department using the direct allocation method to charge the production departments for support department costs. Round final answers to the nearest cent.

2. Calculate the overhead rates per direct labor hour for the Molding Department and the Assembly Department using the reciprocal method to charge support department costs to each other and to the production departments. Round final answers to the nearest cent. Round your intermediate calculations to four decimal places.
