Oriole Company must decide whether to make or buy some of its components. The costs of producing 60,200 switches for its generators are as follows.
Direct materials $29,900 Variable overhead $45,700
Direct labor $25,990 Fixed overhead $76,000

Instead of making the switches at an average cost of $2.95 ($177,590 ÷ 60,200), the company has an opportunity to buy the switches at $2.67 per unit. If the company purchases the switches, all the variable costs and one-fourth of the fixed costs will be eliminated.
Prepare an incremental analysis showing whether the company should make or buy the switches. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)

Work in Process Account Data for Two Months; Cost of Production Reports. Pittsburgh Aluminum Company uses a process cost system to record the costs of manufacturing rolled aluminum, which consists of the smelting and rolling processes. Materials are entered from smelting at the beginning of the rolling process. The inventory of Work in Process—Rolling on September 1 and debits to the account during September were as follows:

Bal., 1,200 units, 20% completed:
Direct materials (1,200 x $4.1) $ 4,920
Conversion (1,200 x 20% x $1.7) 408
$ 5,328
From Smelting Department, 27,120 units $113,904
Direct labor 31,871
Factory overhead 17,161

During September, 1,200 units in process on September 1 were completed, and of the 27,120 units entering the department, all were completed except 2,100 units that were 60% completed. Charges to Work in Process—Rolling for October were as follows:

From Smelting Department, 31,200 units $137,280
Direct labor 40,410
Factory overhead 21,758

During October, the units in process at the beginning of the month were completed, and of the 31,200 units entering the department, all were completed except 1,600 units that were 90% completed.Required: 1. Enter the balance as of September 1 in a four-column account for Work in Process—Rolling. Record the debits and the credits in the account for September. Construct a cost of production report and present computations for determining (a) equivalent units of production for materials and conversion, (b) costs per equivalent unit, (c) cost of goods finished, differentiating between units started in the prior period and units started and finished in September, and (d) work in process inventory.

The Marginal Principle states, “Increase the level of activity as long as its marginal benefit exceeds its marginal cost. Choose the level at which the marginal benefit equals the marginal cost.” The Widget Factory makes and sells widgets in a perfectly competitive market, operating in the short term. Fixed cost per widget is $4 Labor costs is $23 per worker (Variable cost per worker) Widgets sell for $13 each (Revenue price per unit) Workers 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 Output 6 30 41 46 50 53 55 56 Suggestion:

It is helpful to first put your data into a table, and then create the graph. Refer to chapters 5 and 6 for examples of tables and for the MC, MR and ATC formulas. Using the data from above:. Graph the Marginal Cost (MC), the Marginal Revenue (MR), and the Average Total Cost (ATC). What level of output will the firm select, and how many employees will be hired? What is the economic profit at this level of output, and what is the economic profit at output levels slightly above and slightly below this level?

Repeat #1, but alter your data by increasing labor costs to $28 (due to higher wage rate, higher costs of benefits, etc.). Graph the Marginal Cost (MC), the Marginal Revenue (MR), and the Average Total Cost (ATC). What level of output will the firm select, and how many employees will be hired? What is the economic profit at this level of output, and what is the economic profit at output levels slightly above and slightly below this level?

Repeat #1, but alter your data by increasing fixed costs to $6 (due to higher rent, energy, taxes, material costs, etc.) Graph the Marginal Cost (MC), the Marginal Revenue (MR), and the Average Total Cost (ATC). What level of output will the firm select, and how many employees will be hired? What is the economic profit at this level of output, and what is the economic profit at output levels slightly above and slightly below this level?

Repeat #1, but raise the price of the product to $15. Graph the Marginal Cost (MC), the Marginal Revenue (MR), and the Average Total Cost (ATC). What level of output will the firm select, and how many employees will be hired? What is the economic profit at this level of output, and what is the economic profit at output levels slightly above and slightly below this level?

Repeat #1, but lower the price of the product to $10. Graph the Marginal Cost (MC), the Marginal Revenue (MR), and the Average Total Cost (ATC). What level of output will the firm select, and how many employees will be hired? What is the economic profit at this level of output, and what is the economic profit at output levels slightly above and slightly below this level? State a general observation about the number of employees who will need to be hired in the 1-5 scenarios.
