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

zmey [24]

Answer:

Answer 1.

DVD Equipment Set Yoga Mat

Sale in Units 13500 4500 9000

Sale Mix 3 1 2

Sales Mix Ratio = 3:1:2

Answer 2.

Let the Break Even Sales = X Units

Therefore, Linear equation of BEP:

3/6 X (8-4) + 1/6 X (25-15) + 2/6 X (16-9) = 119520 (Fixed Costs)

X = 19920 Units

BEP of

DVD = 19,920 Units X 3/6 = 9960 Units

Equipment Set = 19,920 Units X 1/6 = 3320 Units

Yoga Mat = 19920 Units X 2/6 = 6640 Units

Answer 3.

DVD Equipment Set Yoga Mat Total

Sale in Units 13,500 4,500 9,000 27,000

SP 8 25 16

Sales in $ 108,000 112,500 144,000 364,500

Less: Variable Costs 54,000 67,500 81,000 202,500

Contribution 54,000 45,000 63,000 162,000

Contribution Margin Ratio 50.00% 40.00% 43.75% 44.44%

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales

Overall Break Even Sales Revenue = $119520 (Fixed Costs) / 44.44% (Contribution Margin Ratio)

Overall Break Even Sales Revenue = $268,920

Answer 4.

Margin of Safety = Sales - BES

Margin of Safety = $364,500 - 268920 = $95,580

Moonbeam Company manufactures toasters. For the first 8 months of 2020, the company reported the following operating results whi
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Moonbeam Company

a) Incremental analysis for the special order:

Sales revenue ($7.87 * 20,800) =   $163,696

Variable costs ($6.62 * 20,800) =    (137,696)

Contribution margin =                        26,000

Shipping costs                                     (2,900)

Net income from special order =     $23,100

b) Moonbeam should accept the special order.  It generates some net income for covering the company's fixed cost and does not exceed the company's plant capacity.  It only adds about 4% to the operating plant capacity.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                        Total               Variable        Fixed

Sales (375,200 units)  $4,378,000  

Cost of goods sold        2,588,880      1,812,216       776,664

Gross profit                     1,789,120

Operating expenses        839,510        671,608        167,902

Net income                    $949,610

Total costs                                       $2,483,824    $944,566

Selling price = $11.67 ($4,378,000/375,200)

Variable costs per unit = $6.62 ($2,483,824/375,200)

Total plant capacity = 500,267 units (375,200/75%)

Increase in plant capacity = 396,000 (375,200 + 20,800)

VLD [36.1K]

Answer: Average handle time

First contact resolution

Explanation:

Since the center manager needs to measure the productivity of the agent and the customer satisfaction, the report that should be recommended by a consultant would be the average handle time and the first contact resolution.

The average handle time shows the time taken for a transaction to be completed. This can be used to determine the productivity of agents. Also, first contact resolution can be used to determine customer satisfaction as it shows the number if queries that were successfully resolved.
