19) Instructions: This problem is comprised of four independent parts covering different
types of decisions where incremental analysis is appropriate. Show appropriate, labeled
calculations in all cases!
1>Limited Resources
Canyon Corp. manufactures two models of a fishing reel: Deluxe and Supreme, selling
for $90 and $150, respectively. There are only 30,000 hours of the master craftsmen’s
time available to manufacture reels. Direct labor and other variable costs come to $50
for the Deluxe model and $60 for the Supreme. Total fixed costs equal $70,000. It takes
the craftsmen 2 hours to make the Deluxe model and 4 hours for the Supreme. Demand
for these reels is such that it is estimated up to 6,000 of each type of reel can be sold.
How many of each reel should Canyon make in order to maximize net income?
2>Elimination of a Department
Rider Corporation has three departments. Condensed income statement data are as
follows:
Department ADepartment BDepartment C Total
Sales$300,000$280,000$120,000$700,000
Variable Expenses 160,000 175,000 105,000 440,000
Contribution Margin140,000105,00015,000260,000
Fixed Expenses 65,000 35,000 40,000 140,000
Net Income$ 75,000$ 70,000$ (25,000)$120,000
If Department C is discontinued, fixed expenses would drop $26,000 since the
departmental supervisor would leave; the remaining fixed expenses would continue.
Sales in Department A would drop 10%; Department B would be unaffected. Should
Department C be discontinued?
3>Make or Buy
Elite Electric has an offer from a potential supplier to provide 40,000 units at $65 each
that Elite now manufactures at a total cost of $75 per unit. The manufacturing costs for
40,000 units are: direct materials $900,000; direct labor $450,000; variable overhead
$900,000; and fixed overhead $750,000. All costs except $500,000 in fixed overhead
will be avoided if the parts are purchased.
(a)What should Elite do in this situation?
(b)Would your answer change if Elite could use the capacity that would become
available to produce additional income of $125,000? Explain.
4>Order at a Special Price
Metro Motors diesel engine plant is currently operating slightly above breakeven at
30% of its 200,000 unit capacity. Metro wants to take advantage of an opportunity to
bid on a special order from a potential customer. Metro’s regular product sells for $400
and has the following costs per unit: variable manufacturing, $100; fixed
manufacturing, $180; variable selling and administrative, $35; fixed selling and
administrative, $50. The order would be for 40,000 units over each of the next 5 years,
with no hope for renewal because of product-line changes, and would require an
expenditure of $4,000,000 for special machinery that would have no alternative use.
Variable selling costs would be $10 less per unit on the special order, but variable
manufacturing would be $10 higher. If Metro requires a minimum of a $15 per unit
contribution towards profits on a special order, what should be its minimum bid?
