PART III — INCREMENTAL ANALYSIS (26 points)
This problem consists of two independent mini-problems.
A. Zane Wheels produces lawn mower tires in batches of 1,200 at a cost of $2.40 each. The
tires can be sold without further processing for $5.00 per tire, or can be processed further by
injecting solid foam which insures the tires will never become flat. The solid foam tires can be
sold for $11.00 each. The additional processing costs total $6,600 per batch.
Instructions
Compute the incremental income from further production of one batch of solid foam tires.
B. Lansing Manufacturers produces can openers. For the first six months of 2014, the company
reported the following operating results for 16,000 units, while operating at 80% of plant
capacity.
Sales $2,000,000
Cost of goods sold 1,200,000
Gross profit 800,000
Operating expenses 420,000
Net income $ 380,000
Cost of goods sold was 75% variable and 25% fixed. Operating expenses were 60% variable
and 40% fixed. In July of 2014, Lansing receives a special order for 2,000 can openers at
$85 each from a foreign company. The can openers normally sell for $112.00. Acceptance
of the special order would result in $1,000 of shipping costs but no increase in fixed
operating expenses.
