Question
Andretti Company has a single product called a Dak. The company normally produces and sells 75,000 Daks each year at a selling price of $46 per unit. The company’s unit costs at this level of activity are given below:
Assume that Andretti Company has sufficient capacity to produce 97,500 Daks each year without any increase in fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The company could increase its sales by 30% above the present 75,000 units each year if it were willing to increase the fixed selling expenses by $120,000. Calculate the incremental net operating income. (Round all dollar amounts to 2 decimal places.)
Assume again that Andretti Company has sufficient capacity to produce 97,500 Daks each year. A customer in a foreign market wants to purchase 22,500 Daks. Import duties on the Daks would be $3.70 per unit, and costs for permits and licenses would be $13,500. The only selling costs that would be associated with the order would be $2.60 per unit shipping cost. Compute the per unit break-even price on this order. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
The company has 600 Daks on hand that have some irregularities and are therefore considered to be "seconds." Due to the irregularities, it will be impossible to sell these units at the normal price through regular distribution channels. What unit cost figure is relevant for setting a minimum selling price? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Due to a strike in its supplier’s plant, Andretti Company is unable to purchase more material for the production of Daks. The strike is expected to last for two months. Andretti Company has enough material on hand to operate at 25% of normal levels for the two-month period. As an alternative, Andretti could close its plant down entirely for the two months. If the plant were closed, fixed manufacturing overhead costs would continue at 35% of their normal level during the two-month period and the fixed selling expenses would be reduced by 20%. What would be the impact on profits of closing the plant for the two-month period? (Enter losses/reductions with a minus sign. Round intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places. Round number of units calculation and final answers to nearest whole number.)
An outside manufacturer has offered to produce Daks and ship them directly to Andretti’s customers. If Andretti Company accepts this offer, the facilities that it uses to produce Daks would be idle; however, fixed manufacturing overhead costs would be reduced by 70%. Because the outside manufacturer would pay for all shipping costs, the variable selling expenses would be only two-thirds of their present amount. Compute the unit cost that is relevant for comparison to the price quoted by the outside manufacturer. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Andretti Company has a single product called a Dak. The company normally produces and sells 75,000 Daks each year at a selling price of $46 per unit. The company’s unit costs at this level of activity are given below:
Explanation / Answer
1-a: Incremental net operating income would be $1,740,000. calculations as below.
1-b: Yes. Increased fixed selling expenses would be be justified
2. Breal Even Price for export order: Additional fixed cost /No. of export units = $13500/22500= $0.60 per unit.
In addition, there is additional variable cost of $6.30 on account of (Import Duty $3.70 + Shiiping cost $2.60) chargeable. Thus total cost to be recovered from the 22,500 units is $30.90 per unit. (24.00+6.3+0.60)
A such Break Even Price = $30.90 per unit of export order.
Q.3: 600 units as Seconds = $24.00 per unit.
As per above table, variable cost per unit is $24.00. Hence is relevant for setting a minimum selling price, considering Marginal Cost basis.
Q.4: Strike for two months:
It is assumed that Andretti producing yearly 75,000 units of Dak, evenly through out the year. as such all fixed cost consdered for two months on prorata basis.
a) Effect due closing down: i) Fixed Manufacturing Exp. = 2 x($300,000/12) x 35% =$17,500 ii)Fixed Selling Exp. = 2 x($262,500/12) x (1-0.20) =$35,000 Total Cost of Closure for two months = $ 52,000 b) Loss on account of continuing operation during the two months is $25,000. (Following tables will elaborate more) Coonsidering the two altrnatives, it is recommended that operation sholud be continued during these two month, it will reduce losses upto $25,000.
