________________________________________
 
In June the company produced 5,100 units using 24,710 grams of the direct material and 2,550 direct labor-hours. During the month the company purchased 25,000 grams of the direct material at a price of $6.80 per gram. The actual direct labor rate was $14.60 per hour and the actual variable overhead rate was $1.90 per hour. The materials price variance is computed when materials are purchased. Variable overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor-hours.

Required:
Compute the following variances for raw materials, direct labor, and variable overhead, assuming that the price variance for materials is recognized at point of purchase: (Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations. Leave no cells blank – be certain to enter “0” wherever required.

Nutall Corporation is considering dropping product N28X. Data from the company’s accounting system appear below:

    
  Sales $ 600,000   
  Variable expense $ 241,000   
  Fixed manufacturing expenses $ 232,000   
  Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 180,000   
________________________________________

All fixed expenses of the company are fully allocated to products in the company’s accounting system. Further investigation has revealed that $192,500 of the fixed manufacturing expenses and $107,500 of the fixed selling and administrative expenses are avoidable if product N28X is discontinued.

Required:
a. According to the company’s accounting system, what is the net operating income earned by product N28X? (Input the amount as a positive value. Omit the “$” sign in your response.)

  
$   

b-1. What would be the effect on the company’s overall net operating income of dropping product N28X?(Input the amount as a positive value. Omit the “$” sign in your response.)

Masse Corporation uses part G18 in one of its products. The company’s Accounting Department reports the following costs of producing the 16,700 units of the part that are needed every year.

  Per Unit
  Direct materials $3.90    
  Direct labor $4.60    
  Variable overhead $7.60    
  Supervisor’s salary $8.30    
  Depreciation of special equipment $8.90    
  Allocated general overhead   $5.90    
________________________________________

An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $32.00 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 part 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 $22,700 of these allocated general overhead costs would be avoided. In addition, the space used to produce part G18 could be used to make more of one of the company’s other products, generating an additional segment margin of $29,000 per year for that product.

Required:
a. Calculate the effect on the company’s total net operating income of buying part G18 from the supplier rather than continuing to make it inside the company. (Input the amount as a positive value. Omit the “$” sign in your response.)

  Net operating income would be   by $  .

b. Which alternative should the company choose?
  
  
Make
 
Buy

Foulds Company makes 6,000 units per year of a part it uses in the products it manufactures. The unit product cost of this part is computed as follows:

    
  Direct materials $ 12.10    
  Direct labor   19.70    
  Variable manufacturing overhead   1.90    
  Fixed manufacturing overhead   9.80    
  ________________________________________ ________________________________________
  Unit product cost $ 43.50    

An outside supplier has offered to sell the company all of these parts it needs for $41.20 a unit. If the company accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to make the part could be used to make more units of a product that is in high demand. The additional contribution margin on this other product would be $43,200 per year.
If the part were purchased from the outside supplier, all of the direct labor cost of the part would be avoided. However, $6.30 of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost being applied to the part would continue even if the part were purchased from the outside supplier. This fixed manufacturing overhead cost would be applied to the company’s remaining products.

Required:
a. How much of the unit product cost of $43.50 is relevant in the decision of whether to make or buy the part? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the “$” sign in your response.)

  Relevant cost per unit $   

b. What is the net total dollar advantage (disadvantage) of purchasing the part rather than making it? (Input the amount as a positive value. Omit the “$” sign in your response.)

  Net 
$   

c. What is the maximum amount the company should be willing to pay an outside supplier per unit for the part if the supplier commits to supplying all 6,000 units required each year? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the “$” sign in your response.)

  Maximum acceptable purchase price per unit $   

 
Holtrop Corporation has received a request for a special order of 9,500 units of product Z74 for $47.00 each. The normal selling price of this product is $52.10 each, but the units would need to be modified slightly for the customer. The normal unit product cost of product Z74 is computed as follows:

  
  Direct materials $17.80  
  Direct labor 7.10  
  Variable manufacturing overhead 4.30  
  Fixed manufacturing overhead 7.20  
  ________________________________________
  Unit product cost $36.40  
  ________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________

Direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company’s total fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The customer would like some modifications made to product Z74 that would increase the variable costs by $6.70 per unit and that would require a one-time investment of $46,500 in special molds that would have no salvage value. This special order would have no effect on the company’s other sales. The company has ample spare capacity for producing the special order.

Required:
Calculate the incremental net operating income of accepting the special order. (Omit the “$” sign in your response.)

  Incremental net operating income $   

Janes, Inc., is considering the purchase of a machine that would cost $430,000 and would last for 5 years, at the end of which, the machine would have a salvage value of $43,000. The machine would reduce labor and other costs by $103,000 per year. Additional working capital of $5,000 would be needed immediately, all of which would be recovered at the end of 5 years. The company requires a minimum pretax return of 16% on all investment projects. (Ignore income taxes.)

Brewer Company is considering purchasing a machine that would cost $451,260 and have a useful life of 6 years. The machine would reduce cash operating costs by $98,100 per year. The machine would have a salvage value of $107,270 at the end of the project. (Ignore income taxes.)

Required:
a. Compute the payback period for the machine. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

  Payback period   years 

b. Compute the simple rate of return for the machine. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the “%” sign in your response.)

  Life of the project   7 years     14 years     7 years     4 years 
  Internal rate of return   19%     10%     24%     16% 
________________________________________

Because the company’s required rate of return is 8%, a 8% discount rate has been used in the present value computations above. Limited funds are available for investment, so the company can’t accept all of the available projects.

Required:
1. Compute the project profitability index for each investment project. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
