Glad Bags produces restaurant storage containers. The company makes two sizes of containers: regular (55 gallon) and large (100 gallon). The company uses the same machinery to produce both sizes. The machinery can be run for only 2,500 hours per period. Glad can produce 20 regular containers every hour, whereas it can produce 8 large containers in the same amount of time. Fixed costs amount to $1,000,000 per period. Sales prices and variable costs are as follows:

Required rate of return                                  10%

Consider each of the following INDEPENDENT scenarios:

1)      To maximize profits, how many of each size container should Glad produce? Prepare an income statement with this level of sales.

2)      Assume the company makes only the regular product. Glad is a price taker. The market price for the regular container recently dropped to $100 per container as there is a new low-cost online market entrant. Glad needs to earn the necessary income to satisfy its financial stakeholders. How much does Glad need to reduce costs to satisfy its required rate of return?

3)      Glad Products is deciding whether to outsource the production of a type of glue that is included in its containers. It currently costs Glad $.90 to make each bottle of glue in-house. If Glad Products outsources, it can buy the glue ready-made for $1.20 each and can shut down the production facilities it is currently using to manufacture the glue and save $10,000 a year in fixed costs. Glad currently allocates $50,000 in fixed costs to the glue. Annual requirement for the glue is 12,000 units. What is the effect of outsourcing?

Companion Computer Company has been purchasing carrying cases for its portable computers at a delivered cost of $68 per unit. The company, which is currently operating below full capacity, charges factory overhead to production at the rate of 40% of direct labor cost . The fully absorbed (absorption-cost based, not variable or ABC) unit costs to produce comparable carrying cases are expected to be as follows:

Direct Materials $25.00
Direct Labor 32.00
Factory overhead (40% of direct labor) 12.80
Total cost per unit $69.80

If Companion Computer Company manufactures the carrying cases, fixed factory overhead costs will not increase and variable factory overhead costs associated with the cases are expected to be 15% of the direct labor costs.
Prepare a differential analysis report for the make or buy (outsource) decision. Would you advise making or buying the carrying cases? Include qualitative reasons as well as the calculations. Explain.
