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? Determine the advantage or disadvantage of accepting the order under full-capacity circumstances.

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

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

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
