Riggs Company purchases sails and produces sailboats. It currently produces 1,200 sailboats per year, operating at normal capaci

ty, which is about 80 % of full capacity. Riggs purchases sails at $ 250 each, but the company is considering using the excess capacity to manufacture the sails instead. The manufacturing cost per sail would be $ 100 for direct materials, $ 80 for direct labor, and $ 90 for overhead. The $ 90 overhead includes $ 78,000 of annual fixed overhead that is allocated using normal capacity.
The president of Riggs has come to you for advice. "It would cost me $ 270 to make the sails," she says, "but only $ 250 to buy them. Should I continue buying them, or have I missed something?"

Answer:

It is more convenient to produce the sails in house.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Riggs purchases sails at $ 250 each, but the company is considering using the excess capacity to manufacture the sails instead. The manufacturing cost per sail would be $ 100 for direct materials, $ 80 for direct labor, and $ 90 for overhead. The $ 90 overhead includes $ 78,000 of annual fixed overhead that is allocated using normal capacity.

Because there will not be an increase in fixed costs, we will not have them into account.

Variable overhead= 90 - (78,000/1,200)= 25

Unitary variable cost= 100 + 80 + 25= 205

It is more convenient to produce the sails in house.

Burns Industries currently manufactures and sells 18,000 power saws per month, although it has the capacity to produce 33,000 un
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Burns Industries

Using an incremental analysis approach, Burns should consider accepting this special order only if the price per unit offered by Allen is at least:

above $38 (the variable cost per unit).

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Monthly production and sales units = 18,000

Production capacity per month = 33,000 units

Costs at the 18,000-unit-per-month level of production:

Variable costs = $38

Fixed costs =        23

Total per unit =  $61

Selling price per unit = $78

Special offer for 4,800 saws per month, without changing the fixed manufacturing costs.

b) Incremental analysis approach is a management decision technique that specifies that only relevant, marginal, or differential costs should be taken into account.  It rules out the inclusion of sunk or fixed costs, which do not change between alternatives.
