Iwasaki Inc. is considering whether to continue to make a component or to buy it from an outside supplier. The
company uses 12,500 of the components each year. The unit product cost of the component according to the
company's cost accounting system is given as follows:

Direct materials $ 8.30


Direct labor 5.30
Variable manufacturing overhead 1.10
Fixed manufacturing overhead 3.10
Unit product cost $17.80

Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. Of the fixed manufacturing overhead, 40% is avoidable if the component
were bought from the outside supplier. In addition, making the component uses 2 minutes on the machine that is the
company's current constraint. If the component were bought, this machine time would be freed up for use on
another product that requires 4 minutes on this machine and that has a contribution margin of $4.70 per unit.

When deciding whether to make or buy the component, what cost of making the component should be compared to
the price of buying the component? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal

Elhard Company produces a single product. The cost of producing and selling a single unit of this product at the
company's normal activity level of 41,000 units per month is as follows:

The normal selling price of the product is $51.20 per unit.

An order has been received from an overseas customer for 2,100 units to be delivered this month at a special
discounted price. This order would have no effect on the company's normal sales and would not change the total

Craft Company produces a single product. Last year, the company had a net operating income of $86,100 using
absorption costing and $78,700 using variable costing. The fixed manufacturing overhead cost was $5 per unit.
There were no beginning inventories. If 26,100 units were produced last year, then sales last year were:
18,700 units

24,620 units

27,580 units

33,500 units

Variable costing net operating income $ 78,700


Add fixed manufacturing overhead costs deferred
in inventory under absorption costing X
Deduct fixed manufacturing overhead costs released
from inventory under absorption costing

Absorption costing net operating income $ 86,100

Since absorption costing net operating income was greater than its variable costing net operating income by $7,400,
it must have deferred $7,400 of fixed manufacturing overhead costs in inventory under absorption costing.
Fixed manufacturing overhead costs deferred in inventory under absorption costing = Fixed manufacturing
overhead cost per unit Increase in units in inventory
$7,400 = $5 per unit Increase in units in inventory
Increase in units in inventory = $7,400 $5 per unit = 1,480 units
Therefore, since there were no beginning inventories and 1,480 units of the 26,100 units that were produced were in
ending inventories, sales must have been 24,620 units.

Hansen Company produces a single product. During the last year, Hansen had net operating income under
absorption costing that was $13,560 lower than its income under variable costing. The company sold 9,200 units
during the year, and its variable costs were $19 per unit, of which $7 was variable selling expense. If fixed
production cost is $12 per unit under absorption costing every year, then how many units did the company produce
during the year?
7,795 units

8,620 units

10,330 units

8,070 units

Since net operating income under absorption costing was $13,560 lower than under variable costing, inventories
must have decreased. A reduction in inventories results in releasing fixed manufacturing overhead from inventories.
Fixed manufacturing overhead costs released from inventory under absorption costing = Fixed manufacturing
overhead per unit Reduction in the units in inventory
$13,560 = $12 per unit Reduction in the units in inventory
Reduction in the units in inventory = $13,560 $12 per unit = 1,130 units
Units in beginning inventory + Units produced = Units sold + Units in ending inventory
Units in beginning inventory - Units in ending inventory = Units sold - Units produced
Reduction in the units in inventory = Units sold - Units produced
1,130 units = 9,200 units - Units produced
Units produced = 9,200 units - 1,130 units = 8,070 units

Since fixed expenses would not be affected by this change in unit sales, the change in contribution margin would
drop directly to the bottom line, decreasing net operating income by $45,240.

Eagle Corporation manufactures a picnic table. Shown below is Eagle's cost structure:

Variable cost Total fixed cost


per table for the year
Manufacturing cost $76 $223,440
Selling and administrative $15 $43,512
In its first year of operations, Eagle produced and sold 11,760 tables. The tables sold for $165 each.

How would Eagle's absorption costing net operating income be affected in its first year if 13,790 tables were
produced instead of 11,760 and Eagle still sold 11,760 tables? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2
decimal places.)
net operating income would not have been affected

net operating income would have been $121,928 lower

net operating income would have been $37,428 higher

net operating income would have been $32,928 higher

Lampshire Inc. is considering using stocks of an old raw material in a special project. The special project would
require all 160 kilograms of the raw material that are in stock and that originally cost the company $1,336 in total.
If the company were to buy new supplies of this raw material on the open market, it would cost $7.35 per kilogram.
However, the company has no other use for this raw material and would sell it at the discounted price of $6.65 per
kilogram if it were not used in the special project. The sale of the raw material would involve delivery to the
purchaser at a total cost of $77 for all 160 kilograms. What is the relevant cost of the 160 kilograms of the raw
material when deciding whether to proceed with the special project?
$987

$1,162

Iwasaki Inc. is considering whether to continue to make a component or to buy it from an outside supplier. The
company uses 13,800 of the components each year. The unit product cost of the component according to the
company's cost accounting system is given as follows:

Direct materials $ 9.60


Direct labor 6.60
Variable manufacturing overhead 2.40
Fixed manufacturing overhead 4.40
Unit product cost $23.00

Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. Of the fixed manufacturing overhead, 25% is avoidable if the component
were bought from the outside supplier. In addition, making the component uses 1 minute on the machine that is the
company's current constraint. If the component were bought, this machine time would be freed up for use on
another product that requires 2 minutes on this machine and that has a contribution margin of $6.00 per unit.

An order has been received from an overseas customer for 2,500 units to be delivered this month at a special
discounted price. This order would have no effect on the company's normal sales and would not change the total
amount of the company's fixed costs. The variable selling and administrative expense would be $0.20 less per unit
on this order than on normal sales.

Direct labor is a variable cost in this company.

Suppose there is not enough idle capacity to produce all of the units for the overseas customer and accepting the
special order would require cutting back on production of 250 units for regular customers. The minimum acceptable
price per unit for the special order is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2

The Varone Company makes a single product called a Hom. The company has the capacity to produce 40,000
Homs per year. Per unit costs to produce and sell one Hom at that activity level are:

Direct materials $26


Direct labor $16
Variable manufacturing overhead $11
Fixed manufacturing overhead $13
Variable selling expense $10
Fixed selling expense $8

The regular selling price for one Hom is $90. A special order has been received at Varone from the Fairview
Company to purchase 6,900 Homs next year at 20% off the regular selling price. If this special order were accepted,
the variable selling expense would be reduced by 30%. However, Varone would have to purchase a specialized
machine to engrave the Fairview name on each Hom in the special order. This machine would cost $12,600 and it
would have no use after the special order was filled. The total fixed costs, both manufacturing and selling, are
constant within the relevant range of 30,000 to 40,000 Homs per year. Assume direct labor is a variable cost.

If Varone can expect to sell 33,000 Homs next year through regular channels and the special order is accepted at
20% off the regular selling price, the effect on net operating income next year due to accepting this order would be
a:
$70,200 increase

$52,600 increase

$69,000 increase

$24,400 decrease

Incremental revenue (6,900 units $72 per unit*) $496,800


Less incremental costs:
Direct materials (6,900 units $26 per unit) 179,400
Direct labor (6,900 unit $16 per unit) 110,400

If Varone can expect to sell 31,000 Homs next year through regular channels, at what special order price per unit
from Fairview should Varone be economically indifferent between either accepting or not accepting this special
order? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

Variable selling expense: $10 (1 20%) = $8

Varone is economically indifferent between either accepting or not accepting this special order at the point where
revenue equals cost, so the selling price would have to be at least $53.7 per unit (= $354,300 6,600 units).

The Varone Company makes a single product called a Hom. The company has the capacity to produce 40,000
Homs per year. Per unit costs to produce and sell one Hom at that activity level are:

Direct materials $29


Direct labor $19
Variable manufacturing overhead $14
Fixed manufacturing overhead $16
Variable selling expense $10
Fixed selling expense $3

The regular selling price for one Hom is $90. A special order has been received at Varone from the Fairview
Company to purchase 8,700 Homs next year at 10% off the regular selling price. If this special order were accepted,
the variable selling expense would be reduced by 20%. However, Varone would have to purchase a specialized
machine to engrave the Fairview name on each Hom in the special order. This machine would cost $12,900 and it
would have no use after the special order was filled. The total fixed costs, both manufacturing and selling, are
constant within the relevant range of 30,000 to 40,000 Homs per year. Assume direct labor is a variable cost.

If Varone has an opportunity to sell 38,050 Homs next year through regular channels and the special order is
accepted for 10% off the regular selling price, the effect on net operating income next year due to accepting this
order would be a:
$56,700 decrease

Unit contribution margin on normal sales:


Selling price $90
Direct materials 29
Direct labor 19
Variable manufacturing overhead 14
Variable selling expense 10
Unit contribution margin on normal sales $18

Capacity 40,000
Less: Special order 8,700
Capacity available for normal sales 31,300
Demand for normal sales 39,050
Displaced normal sales 7,750

Since the special order would displace 7,750 units of normal sales, the lost contribution margin would be $139,500
(= $18 per unit 7,750 units).

Incremental net operating income on special order:


Incremental revenue (8,700 units $81 per unit*) $704,700
Less incremental costs:
Direct materials (8,700 units $29 per unit) 252,300
Direct labor (8,700 unit $19 per unit) 165,300
Variable manufacturing overhead (8,700 units $14 per unit) 121,800
Variable selling expense (8,700 units $8 per unit**) 69,600
Special machine 12,900
Total incremental cost 621,900
Incremental net operating income $ 82,800

*Regular selling price: $90 (1 10%) = $81


**Variable selling expense: $10 (1 20%) = $8

Consequently, accepting the special order would generate incremental net operating income of $82,800, but would
displace normal sales generating a contribution margin of $139,500,so the net effect would be a $56,700 decrease
(= $139,500 $82,800) in net operating income.
