SafeRide, Inc. produces air bag systems that it sells to North American automobile manufacturers. Although the company has a cap

acity of 300,000 units per year, it is currently producing at an annual rate of 180,000 units. SafeRide, Inc. has received an order from a German manufacturer to purchase 60,000 units at $9.00 each. Budgeted costs for 180,000 and 240,000 units are as follows: 180,000 Units 240,000 UnitsManufacturing costs Direct materials $450,000 $600,000Direct labor 315,000 420,000Factory overhead 1,215,000 1,260,000Total 1,980,000 2,280,000Selling and administrative 765,000 780,000Total $2,745,000 $3,060,000Costs per unit Manufacturing $11.00 $9.50Selling and administrative 4.25 3.25Total $15.25 $12.75Sales to North American manufacturers are priced at $20 per unit, but the sales manager believes the company should aggressively seek the German business even if it results in a loss of $3.75 per unit. She believes obtaining this order would open up several new markets for the company's product. The general manager commented that the company cannot tighten its belt to absorb the $225,000 loss ($3.75 × 60,000) it would incur if the order is accepted.(a) Determine the finanicial implications of accepting the order.(b) How would your analysis differ if the company were operating at capacity?

Answer:

SafeRide, Inc.

a. The financial implications of accepting the order are that total production cost will increase by $315,000 with a corresponding increase in sales revenue of $540,000, and an increase in net income by $225,000.

b. Under full capacity, the total production cost will increase by $1,485,000 for adding additional facilities while the sales revenue would increase by $540,000, resulting to a loss of $945,000.

c. Under full-capacity circumstances, there is a financing disadvantage of accepting the order because the order will entail additional capacity and facilities, resulting to a loss of $945,000.

Explanation:

Annual production capacity = 300,000 units

Current production capacity = 180,000 units

Special order from a German manufacturer = 60,000 units

Special order price per unit = $9.00

Budgeted Costs For      180,000 Units  240,000 Units  Difference 60,000

Manufacturing costs

Direct materials                 $450,000           $600,000       $150,000

Direct labor                           315,000             420,000          105,000

Factory overhead              1,215,000           1,260,000           45,000

Total                                  1,980,000          2,280,000       $300,000

Selling and administrative 765,000              780,000            15,000

Total                              $2,745,000        $3,060,000        $315,000

Costs per unit

Manufacturing                       $11.00                  $9.50

Selling and administrative       4.25                     3.25

Total                                     $15.25                  $12.75

Selling price to North American manufacturers = $20 per unit

Financial implications of accepting the order:

Manufacturing costs

Direct materials                  $150,000

Direct labor                           105,000

Factory overhead                  45,000

Total                                  $300,000

Selling and administrative    15,000

Total                                  $315,000

Total cost per unit = $5.25 ($315,000/60,000)

Total manufacturing cost per unit = $5 ($300,000/60,000)

Increase in net income from accepting the order = $225,000 ($9.00 - $5.25) * 60,000

Manufacturing costs

Direct materials                  $150,000 (variable)

Direct labor                           105,000 (variable)

Factory overhead              1,215,000

Total                                $1,470,000

Selling and administrative    15,000 (assumed to be variable)

Total                               $1,485,000

Unit cost per additional unit = $24.75

What are the cons of using new residential sales/new home sales as a economic indicator?
rodikova [14]

Answer:

New home sales and existing home sales are released each month at about the same time. Many comparisons are made between the two series, but before doing any comparisons, one must be aware of some definition differences that affect the timing of the statistics.

The Census Bureau collects new home sales based upon the following definition: "A sale of the new house occurs with the signing of a sales contract or the acceptance of a deposit." The house can be in any stage of construction: not yet started, under construction, or already completed. Typically about 25% of the houses are sold at the time of completion. The remaining 75% are evenly split between those not yet started and those under construction.

Existing home sales data are provided by the National Association of Realtors®. According to them, "the majority of transactions are reported when the sales contract is closed." Most transactions usually involve a mortgage which takes 30-60 days to close. Therefore an existing home sale (closing) most likely involves a sales contract that was signed a month or two prior.

Given the difference in definition, new home sales usually lead existing home sales regarding changes in the residential sales market by a month or two. For example, an existing home sale in January, was probably signed 30 to 45 days earlier which would have been in November or December. This is based on the usual time it takes to obtain and close a mortgage.

Effective with January 2005, the National Association of Realtors created a new monthly series to overcome the lagging effect of the existing home sales definition. This new series is called Pending Home Sales and is based on sales of existing homes where the contract has been signed but the transaction has not been closed, making it roughly equivalent to the new home sales definition. Monthly estimates are expressed as an index where the year 2001 has been set to equal 100.0.

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

c. cash, checking account balances, and travelers' checks.

Explanation:

Money Supply is the concept that means the amount of the liquid financial products and total currency in the market or economy. It is regulated the macro-economically by the monetary policy. So, there are types of measures of money supply or stock:

-M0: narrowly, it means the hard currency in circulation

-MB: it equals M0+ the hard currency which are not technically in circulation and in bank reserves.

-M1: it is the most common one and equals M0 plus checking accounts plus travelers’ checks and other checkable deposits.

-M2: covers M1 and saving accounts and CDs.

-M3: it surrounds the larger deposits.

-MZM: finally, this indicates the money market deposits.

That’s why we could notice that M1 narrowly means the cash, checking account and travelers’ checks.
