Question

Miko Company manufactures a personal computer designed for use in schools and markets it under its own label. Miko has the capacity to produce 27,000 units a year but is currently producing and selling only 12,000 units a year. The computer’s normal selling price is $1,740 per unit with no volume discounts. The unit-level costs of the computer’s production are $530 for direct materials, $110 for direct labor, and $180 for indirect unit-level manufacturing costs. The total product and facility-level costs incurred by Miko during the year are expected to be $2,150,000 and $816,000, respectively. Assume that Miko receives a special order to produce and sell 3,110 computers at $1,270 each.

Explanation / Answer

CAPACITY=27,000 UNITS

CURRENT PRODUCTION AND SALES=12,000 UNITS

SELLING PRICE PER UNIT=$1,740

DIRECT MATERIAL PER UNIT=$530

DIRECT LABOUR PER UNIT=$110

INDIRECT MANUFACTURING COST PER UNIT=$180

PRODUCT COST=$21,50,000

FACILITY COST=$8,16,000

CALCULATION OF CONTRIBUTION TO PROFIT FROM THE SPECIAL ORDER:

SALES OF THE SPECIAL ORDER=3,110 UNITS*$1,270 =$39,49,700

LESS:DIRECT MATERIAL COST=3,110 UNITS*$530 =$16,48,300

LESS:DIRECT LABOUR COST=3,110 UNITS*$110 =$3,42,100

LESS:INDIRECT MANUFACTURING COST=3,110 UNITS*$180=$5,59,800

CONTRIBUTION TO PROFIT =$13,99,500

TOTAL PRODUCTION AND FACILITY COST OF $21,50,000 AND $8,16,000 ARE IRRELEVANT
