Question

Andretti Company has a single product called a Dak. The company normally produces and sells 90,000 Daks each year at a selling price of $40 per unit. The company’s unit costs at this level of activity are given below:

Assume that Andretti Company has sufficient capacity to produce 117,000 Daks each year without any increase in fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The company could increase its sales by 30% above the present 90,000 units each year if it were willing to increase the fixed selling expenses by $130,000. Calculate the incremental net operating income. (Round all dollar amounts to 2 decimal places.)

Increased sales in units

Contribution margin per unit

Incremental contribution margin

Less added fixed selling expense

Incremental net operating income

Assume again that Andretti Company has sufficient capacity to produce 117,000 Daks each year. A customer in a foreign market wants to purchase 27,000 Daks. Import duties on the Daks would be $4.70 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 $1.50 per unit shipping cost. Compute the per unit break-even price on this order. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Variable manufacturing cost per unit

Import duties per unit

Permits and licenses

Shipping cost per unit

Break-even price per unit $0.00

The company has 800 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.)

Relevant unit cost per unit

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.)

Contribution margin lost

Fixed costs

Fixed manufacturing overhead cost

Fixed selling cost 0

Net disadvantage of closing the plant $0

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 90,000 Daks each year at a selling price of $40 per unit. The company’s unit costs at this level of activity are given below:

Explanation / Answer

1)a Normal units

Particulars                    Amount

Sales   = 90,000 * $40 per unit=$3,600,000

less:

Variable Cost = 90,000 * $21.60=$1,944,000   

_______________________________________

Contribution =1,656,000         

Less:

Fixed Costs =$945,000

___________________________

Total Profit = $711,000

_____________________________

EXplanation

VAriable overhead           Amount

  Direct materials             $7.50

  Direct labor                  $9.00

Variable manufacturing overhead 3.40

  Variable selling expenses          1.70

____________________________________-

Total Varible Expense = $21.60

____________________________________

Fixed Expenses:

  Fixed manufacturing overhead = $360,000

Fixed selling expenses=$585,000

____________________________________

Total   Fixed Expense =$945,000

incremental units

Particulars                    Amount

Sales   = 117,000 * $40 per unit=$4,680,000

less:

Variable Cost =117,000 * $21.60=$2,527,200

_______________________________________

Contribution =$2,152,800      

Fixed Expenses =$1,075,000

_______________________________________

Net Profit   = $1,077,800

_______________________________________

Incremental net operating income = Incremental net profit - Normal Net profit

= $1,077,800 - $711,000

=$366,800

EXplanation

VAriable overhead           Amount

  Direct materials             $7.50

  Direct labor                  $9.00

Variable manufacturing overhead 3.40

  Variable selling expenses          1.70

____________________________________-

Total Varible Expense = $21.60

____________________________________

Fixed Expenses:

  Fixed manufacturing overhead = $360,000

Fixed selling expenses=$585,000 +$130,000.

_____________________________________

Total Fixed Expenses =$1,075,000

___________________________________________________________________________________

1B) Yes, the increased fixed selling expenses be justified because it brings extra net income $366,800

Incremental net operating income = Incremental net profit - Normal Net profit

= $1,077,800 - $711,000

=$366,800

______________________________________________________________________________________

2)Break Even unit

Variable cost = 27,000 * $27.80=$750,600

Fixed cot = $13,500

_________________________________________--

Total =               $764,100

$764,100 / 27000 units

= $28.30 per unit

Explanation

Variiable Expense

  Direct materials             $7.50

  Direct labor                  $9.00

Variable manufacturing overhead 3.40

Import duties = $4.70

Variable selling expenses          1.70+$1.50

__________________________________________

Total Variable Expense = $27.80

____________________________________________

Fixed cost

Permits and Licenses = $13,500

__________________________________

Total Fixed Cost =$13,500

_____________________________________________________________________________

3) 800 Daks * $ 1.70 =$1,360 as considered to be relevant cost

Only variable selling expense should be taken, and not to take fixed selling expense because it is for all unit, in this case only 800 considered as irregularities. not to add the fixed selling expense

__________________________________________________________________________

5)

Particular               Amount

Direct materials             $7.50

  Direct labor                  $9.00

Variable manufacturing overhead 3.40

Import duties = $4.70

Variable selling expenses    = $1.13      (1.70 * 2./3)     

Fixed manufacturing overhead =    $5.71    ($360,000*70/100/90,000)

__________________________________________________________

Total=$31.44

__________________________________________________________

price quoted by the outside manufacturer is below than =$31.44
