Parton Company, a manufacturer of snowmobiles, is operating at 80% of plant capacity. Parton's plant manager is considering maki

ng the headlights now being purchased from an outside supplier for $12.80 each. The Parton plant has idle equipment that could be used to manufacture the headlights. The design engineer estimates that each headlight requires $4.45 of direct materials, $3.45 of direct labor, and $6.45 of manufacturing overhead. Forty percent of the manufacturing overhead is a fixed cost that would be unaffected by this decision. A decision by Parton Company to manufacture the headlights should result in a net gain (loss) for each headlight of: (CMA adapted)
a) $1.03.
b) $(1.55).
c) $2.32.
d) $3.56.

Answer:

The answer is: a

Explanation:

The Parton Company has a 'make or buy' decision. This decision involves analysing the incremental costs associated with each option. Incremental costs are costs incurred as a result of producing one more unit of a product. If the excess capacity can be utilised to produce the headlights at a lower cost than the cost of acquiring the headlights from an external supplier, then the company should produce the headlights.  

The Parton Company incurs $12.80 per headlight purchased from the external supplier. Added to this cost, are the existing costs of operating below plant capacity. If making the headlights in the manufacturing plant yields a positive contribution to fixed costs, then the Parton company should produce the headlights in the manufacturing plant.

By producing the headlights, the Parton company gains a contribution to fixed costs of $1.03 per headlight.

Foregone purchase costs from supplier:                          $12.80

Incurred costs (directly) from production:                        ($11.77)

Direct materials                                                                     ($4.45)

Direct Labour                                                                         ($3.45)

Manufacturing Overheads: $(6.45*0.6)                               <u>($3.87)</u>

Net gain per headlight                                                           <u> </u><u>$1.03</u>

Answer:

Find the detailed answer below

Explanation:

January 1     300 units at $5      $1,500

January 8     500 units at $9       $4,500

January 29 910 units at $10       $9,100

1,110 units are available at the end of the month. That means 600 units were sold

A. Under FIFO

1. Cost of goods available for sale:

        $1,500 + $4,500 + $9,100 = $15,100

2.   Cost of goods sold

         300 units at $5      $1,500

         300 units at $9      $2,700

          Total             $4,200

3. Ending inventory

           200 units at $9       $1,800

           910 units at $10      $9,100

           Total              $10,900

B. Under LIFO(Last in First Out)

1.  Cost of goods available for sale:

        $1,500 + $4,500 + $9,100 = $15,100

2.  Cost of goods sold

        600 units at $10      $6,000

        Total       $6,000

3. Ending inventory

       310 units at $10      $3,100

      500 units at $9        $4,500

      300 units at $5        $1,500

      Total        $9,100

C. Weighted average cost flow assumption: Cost of goods available for sale / total units

1. Cost of goods available for sale:

     $1,500 + $4,500 + $9,100 = $15,100

2. Cost of goods sold

      $15,100 / 1,710 = $8.83

      $8.83 x 600 = $5,298

3. Ending inventory

       $8.83 x 1,110 = $9,801.3

Under perpetual Inventory System

Between January 9 and January 28. The prevailing price that will be used to sell the inventory will be the price at January 8($9)

1. Cost of goods available for sale:

$1,500 + $4,500 + $9,100 = $15,100

2.  Cost of goods sold

        600 units at $9     $5,400

        Total           $5,400

3. Ending inventory

       1,110 units at $9      $9,990

      Total            $9,990
