The Rapid Delivery Service is considering the expansion of its business into afternoon
retail delivery service. This would require an additional $25,000 in labor costs per month.
Company-owned vehicles now used to make morning deliveries to local manufacturers
could be used in the afternoons to make retail deliveries. However, it is estimated that an
additional $10,000 would be required per month for gas, oil, and maintenance. It is further
estimated that the retail delivery use of the trucks would be allocated 45% of the existing
$13,000 fixed vehicle costs. What is the differential delivery cost per month for expanding
into the retail delivery market?

The Lamar Company manufactures wiring tools. The company is currently producing well
below its full capacity. The Boston Company has approached Lamar with an offer to buy

per unit is $1.83, of which $0.27 is fixed costs. If Lamar were to accept Boston’s offer,
what would be the increase in Lamar’s operating profits?

Item I51 is used in one of Policy Corporation’s products. The company makes 18,000 units
of this Item each year. The company’s Accounting Department reports the following costs
of producing the Item at this level of activity:
Per Unit
Direct materials
$1.20
Direct labor
$2.20
Variable manufacturing overhead
$3.30
Supervisor’s salary
$1.00
Depreciation of special equipment
$2.70
Allocated general overhead
$8.50
An outside supplier has offered to produce this Item and sell it to the company for $15.80
each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor’s salary and all of the variable costs,
including direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the Item was
purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general
overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company. If the outside supplier’s offer were
accepted, only $26,000 of these allocated general overhead costs would be avoided.
If management decides to buy Item I51 from the outside supplier rather than to continue
making the Item, what would be the annual impact on the company’s overall net operating
income?
