Question
Andretti Company has a single product called a Dak. The company normally produces and sells 87,000 Daks each year at a selling price of $48 per unit. The company’s unit costs at this level of activity are given below:
Assume that Andretti Company has sufficient capacity to produce 108,750 Daks each year without any increase in fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The company could increase its sales by 25% above the present 87,000 units each year if it were willing to increase the fixed selling expenses by $140,000. Calculate the incremental net operating income. (Round all dollar amounts to 2 decimal places.)
Assume again that Andretti Company has sufficient capacity to produce 108,750 Daks each year. A customer in a foreign market wants to purchase 21,750 Daks. Import duties on the Daks would be $1.70 per unit, and costs for permits and licenses would be $17,400. The only selling costs that would be associated with the order would be $1.90 per unit shipping cost. Compute the per unit break-even price on this order. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
The company has 500 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 all calculations (intermediate and final) to whole numbers. Round unit calculations to whole numbers.)
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 30%. 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.)

Direct materials $ 6.50 Direct labor 8.00 Variable manufacturing overhead 2.00 Fixed manufacturing overhead 6.00 ($522,000 total) Variable selling expenses 4.70 Fixed selling expenses 4.50 ($391,500 total) Total cost per unit $ 31.70Explanation / Answer
Solution.
Present profit of company =
Sales revanue = 87.000 unit x $48 = $4,176,000
Cost of goods sales = 87.000 unit x $31.70 = $2,757,900
Profit = $1,458,100
1.a.
New cost of goods sold = $31.70 + 1.61 (incresement in Fixed selling expenses) = $33.31
($391,500 + $140,000 = $531,500)
$531,500 / 87,000 unit = $6.11 per unit.
Sales revenue = 108,750 unit x $48 = $5,220,000
Cost of goods sold = 108,750 x $33.31 = $3,622,462.50
Profit = $1,597,535.50
Q1b.
No , Because incremental profit does not matched with incremental expense.
Additional expense = $140,000
Additional profit = $139,437.50
Q2.
Calculation of break even price 21,750 Daks =
Basic price of Dack is = $31.70 per unit
Change in cost is ....
Import duties = $1.70 per unit
costs for permits and licenses = $0.80 ($17,400 / 21.750 unit)
Veriable selling costs decrese = ($2.80) ($4.70 - $1.90)
Total break even cost = $31.40 per unit
Q3.
Due to the irregularities 500 Daks considered to be "seconds."
Normal unit cost is = $31.70
Less Variable selling expenses = $4.70
Less Fixed selling expenses = $4.50
New cost is = $22.50 per unit
Q5.
Normal unit cost is = $31.70
Effect of contract.....
i. Fixed manufacturing overhead costs would be reduced by 30%
So, Fixed manufacturing overhead = $6 x 30% = $1.80
= $6 - $1.80 =- $4.20.
ii. selling expenses would be only two-thirds of their present amount.
Fixed selling expenses = $4.50 x2/3 = $3
Unit cost that is relevant for comparison to the price quoted by the outside manufacturer =
$31.70 - $4.20. - $3 = $24.50
