Mazeppa Corporation sells relays at a selling price of $28 per unit. The company's cost per unit, based on full capacity of 160,

000 units, is as follows:
Direct materials $6
Direct labor 4
Overhead (2/3 of which is variable) 9

Mazeppa has been approached by a distributor in Montana offering to buy a special order consisting of 30,000 relays. Mazeppa has the capacity to fill the order. However, it will incur an additional shipping cost of $2 for each relay it sells to the distributor.

Required:
a. Assume that Mazeppa is currently operating at a level of 100,000 units. Show the calculation for the unit price to charge the distributor which will generate an increase in operating income of $2 per unit.
b. Assume that Mazeppa is currently operating at full capacity. To fill the special order, regular customers will have to be turned away. Now what unit price should it charge the distributor if it wishes to increase total operating income by $60,000 more than it would be without accepting the special order?

Answer:

a. $20.00

b. $28,75

Explanation:

Find the total incremental costs to satisfy the special order and add $2.00 profit (because we are aiming for a profit not to just break-even).

<u>Calculation of Total Incremental Unit Costs</u>

Direct materials                                          $6 .00

Direct labor                                                 $4.00

Variable Overheads (2/3 × $9)                  $6.00

Shipping Cost                                             $2.00

Total Incremental Unit Cost                      $18.00

<em>Add</em> Profit Element                                     $2.00

Unit Selling Price for the Special Order  $20.00

In this case no changes will occur on fixed overheads, hence it is irrelevant.

<u>Calculation of Desired Net Operating Income</u>

Sales ($28 × 160,000 units)                                     $4,480,000

Less Product Costs :

Direct materials ($6 .00 × 160,000 units)                 ($960,000)

Direct labor ($4.00 × 160,000 units)                        ($640,000)

Variable Overheads ($6.00 × 160,000 units)          ($960,000)

Fixed Overheads ($3.00 × 160,000 units)               ($480,000)

Current Operating Income                                       $1,440,000

Add Desired Increase in Operating Income               $60,000

Desired Operating Income                                      $1,500,000

Unit Profit = $1,500,000 ÷ 160,000 units

                  = $9.375

Unit Profit = Unit Selling Price - Total Unit Costs - Unit Incremental Profit

therefore,

Unit Selling Price = Unit Profit  + Total Unit Costs + Unit Incremental Profit

                             = $9.375 + $19.00 + $0.375

                             = $28,75

Suppose you get $500 for your birthday. you spend $400 and save the remaining $100. hence, the marginal propensity to save or mp
Makovka662 [10]

Assuming that you received $500 for your birthday, spent $400 of it, and saved the remaining $20. There are 20 MPs, or marginal propensities to save.

MPS= change in savings/change in income. A change in income of $500 changes savings by $20

<h3 /><h3>Why Do People Have a Marginal Propensity to Consume?</h3>
  • The opposite of MPS is the marginal propensity to consume (MPC). The link between income and consumption is quantified with the aid of MPC.
  • By dividing the change in spending by the change in income, one can determine their marginal propensity to consume.
  • In order to calculate how much spending rises for every dollar of increased income, MPC measures this relationship.

saw5 [17]

All of the following are advantages of this type of retirement plan EXCEPT C) The 10 percent penalty tax does not apply to distributions prior to age 59.5.

<h3>Which of the following is a major benefit of an employer-sponsored retirement plan?</h3>

The plans lower your taxable income, which means that you will pay less in taxes for the year. They also grow deferred, which means that any profits growth is tax-free until it is withdrawn, and you can receive "free money" through employer matching contributions.

A profit sharing or stock bonus plan is a type of defined contribution plan where the employer or the plan specifies how much money will be donated each year (out of profits or otherwise).

Zhao Co. has fixed costs of $354,000. Its single product sells for $175 per unit, and variable costs are $116 per unit. If the c
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the break-even point in units and sales dollars:</u>

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 354,000 / (175 - 116)

Break-even point in units= 6,000

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 354,000 / (59 / 175)

Break-even point (dollars)= $1,050,000

<u>Now, the margin of safety and margin of safety rate:</u>

Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)

Margin of safety= (10,000*175) - 1,050,000

Margin of safety= $700,000

Margin of safety ratio= (current sales level - break-even point)/current sales level

Margin of safety ratio= 700,000 / 1,750,000

Margin of safety ratio= 0.4= 40%
