Andretti Company has a single product called a Dak. The company normally produces and sells 82,000 Daks each year at a selling price of $48 per unit. The company’s unit costs at this level of activity are given below:
| Direct materials | $ | 9.50 | |
| Direct labor | 9.00 | ||
| Variable manufacturing overhead | 2.80 | ||
| Fixed manufacturing overhead | 6.00 | ($492,000 total) | |
| Variable selling expenses | 2.70 | ||
| Fixed selling expenses | 3.50 | ($287,000 total) | |
| Total cost per unit | $ | 33.50 | |
A number of questions relating to the production and sale of Daks follow. Each question is independent.
Required:
1-a. Assume that Andretti Company has sufficient capacity to produce 98,400 Daks each year without any increase in fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The company could increase its sales by 20% above the present 82,000 units each year if it were willing to increase the fixed selling expenses by $120,000. Calculate the incremental net operating income. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)
|
increased sales in units |
$ ? |
| Contribution Margin (CM) | ? |
| Incremental CM | ? |
| less added fixed selling expense | ? |
| Incremental net operating income | ? |
1-b. Would the increased fixed selling expenses be justified?
| Yes | |
| No |
2. Assume again that Andretti Company has sufficient capacity to produce 98,400 Daks each year. A customer in a foreign market wants to purchase 16,400 Daks. Import duties on the Daks would be $1.70 per unit, and costs for permits and licenses would be $9,840. The only selling costs that would be associated with the order would be $1.60 per unit shipping cost. Compute the per unit break-even price on this order. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
| Variable manufacturing cost per unit | ? |
| Import duties per unit | ? |
| permits and licenses | ? |
| Shipping cost per unit | ? |
| Break-even price per unit | ? |
3. The company has 900 Daks on hand that have some irregularities and are therefore considered to be "seconds." Due to the irregularities, it will be impossible to sell these units at the normal price through regular distribution channels. What unit cost figure is relevant for setting a minimum selling price? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Relevant cost per unit= $ ? Per unit
4. Due to a strike in its supplier’s plant, Andretti Company is unable to purchase more material for the production of Daks. The strike is expected to last for two months. Andretti Company has enough material on hand to operate at 25% of normal levels for the two-month period. As an alternative, Andretti could close its plant down entirely for the two months. If the plant were closed, fixed manufacturing overhead costs would continue at 35% of their normal level during the two-month period and the fixed selling expenses would be reduced by 20%. What would be the impact on profits of closing the plant for the two-month period? (Any losses should be indicated by a minus sign. Round all calculations (intermediate and final) to whole numbers. Round unit calculations to whole numbers.)
| Contribution margin lost | $ ? | |
| Fixed Cost | ||
| Fixed manufacturing overhead cost | $? | |
| Fixed Selling cost | $? | $ ? |
| Net advantage (disadvantage) of closing the plant | $ ? |
5. An outside manufacturer has offered to produce Daks and ship them directly to Andretti’s customers. If Andretti Company accepts this offer, the facilities that it uses to produce Daks would be idle; however, fixed manufacturing overhead costs would be reduced by 30%. Because the outside manufacturer would pay for all shipping costs, the variable selling expenses would be only two-thirds of their present amount. Compute the unit cost that can be avoided if purchased from the outside manufacturer. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
| Variable manufacturing costs | $ ? |
| Fixed Manufacturing overhead cost |
$? |
| Variable selling expenses | $? |
| Total costs avoided | $? |

Polaski Company manufactures and sells a single product called a Ret. Operating at capacity, the company can produce and sell 40,000 Rets per year. Costs associated with this level of production and sales are given below:
| Unit | Total | ||||||
| Direct materials | $ | 15 | $ | 600,000 | |||
| Direct labor | 8 | 320,000 | |||||
| Variable manufacturing overhead | 3 | 120,000 | |||||
| Fixed manufacturing overhead | 5 | 200,000 | |||||
| Variable selling expense | 4 | 160,000 | |||||
| Fixed selling expense | 6 | 240,000 | |||||
| Total cost | $ | 41 | $ | 1,640,000 | |||
The Rets normally sell for $46 each. Fixed manufacturing overhead is $200,000 per year within the range of 35,000 through 40,000 Rets per year.
Required:
1. Assume that due to a recession, Polaski Company expects to sell only 35,000 Rets through regular channels next year. A large retail chain has offered to purchase 5,000 Rets if Polaski is willing to accept a 16% discount off the regular price. There would be no sales commissions on this order; thus, variable selling expenses would be slashed by 75%. However, Polaski Company would have to purchase a special machine to engrave the retail chain’s name on the 5,000 units. This machine would cost $10,000. Polaski Company has no assurance that the retail chain will purchase additional units in the future. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
2. Refer to the original data. Assume again that Polaski Company expects to sell only 35,000 Rets through regular channels next year. The U.S. Army would like to make a one-time-only purchase of 5,000 Rets. The Army would pay a fixed fee of $1.80 per Ret, and it would reimburse Polaski Company for all costs of production (variable and fixed) associated with the units. Because the army would pick up the Rets with its own trucks, there would be no variable selling expenses associated with this order. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the U.S. Army's special order?
3. Assume the same situation as described in (2) above, except that the company expects to sell 40,000 Rets through regular channels next year. Thus, accepting the U.S. Army’s order would require giving up regular sales of 5,000 Rets. Given this new information, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the U.S. Army's special order?

When one company (A) buys another company(B), some workers of company B are terminated. Terminated workers get severance pay. To be fair, company A fixes the severance payment to company B workers as equivalent to company A workers who were terminated in the last one year. A 36-year-old Mohammed, worked for company B for the last 10 years earning 32000 per year, was terminated with a severance pay of 5 weeks of salary. Bill smith complained that this is unfair that someone with the same credentials worked in company A received more. You are called in to settle the dispute. You are told that severance is determined by three factors; age, length of service with the company and the pay. You have randomly taken a sample of 40 employees of company A terminated last year. You recorded

Number of years with the company

An object is thrown straight up into the air. The object leaves the person’s hand with an upward velocity of magnitude 27 m/s. Assume that the object is in free fall, i.e., neglect air resistance. Draw a motion diagram and graphs (two graphs: one for vertical position vs. time, and one for vertical velocity vs. time) from the time when the object leaves the person’s hand to 5.0 seconds later. Include all the information on the graph that you can determine about the object’s motion, such as its position and velocity at 5.0 seconds. Assume that the person does not catch the object or interfere with it during the 5.0 seconds time interval.
