Answer:

a. I would recommend the the special order should be accepted.

b. The minimum price for the special order is the current selling price of $750.

Explanation:

a. If the president of Delta were to call on you to resolve the difference in opinion, what would you recommend?

Because the existing data's format and findings are deceiving, I would suggest to the president to let us perform a differential analysis before making a recommendation.

Note: See the attached excel file for a analysis of accepting the order.

In the attached excel file, the following calculation is done:

Special order revenue = Difference revenue = Units of special order * Special order price per unit = 2,000 * $500 = $1,000,000

Revenue with the special order = Revenue without the special order + Special order revenue = $4,500,000 + $1,000,000 = $4,500,000

From the differential analysis in the attached excel, it can be observed that accepting the order will increase profit by $200,000.

Therefore, I would recommend the the special order should be accepted.

b. What is the minimum price for the special order if Delta is operating at full capacity?

Since other sales opportunities has be forgone if the special order is accepted if Delta is operating at full capacity, the minimum price for the special order must be or is the current selling price of $750.

The daily demand for parts from a machining workcell JMB to an assembly workcell is 1,600 units. The average processing time is
Karolina [17]

Answer:

Daily demand for parts = 1600 units

Avg processing time = 25 seconds.

Capacity of a container = 250 units

Waiting time of a container before the JMB = 6 hours

Number of containters currently deployed = 10

Solution:

Total number of parts carried by the containter = 10 x 250 = 2500 parts.

Total numbers carried in excess as safety stock = 2500-1600 = 900

Percentage of safety stock = (900/1600) x 100 = 56.25%

If one container is removed total parts carried = 2250 units

Processing time at machine for 250 parts after loading in JMB = 250 x 25 seconds = 1.736 hours, but it has to wait for another 4.26 hours for the next container to be loaded because of the waiting time of the containter is 6 hours.

Processing time at machine for 1600 parts = 1600 x 25 seconds = 11.11 hours

Number of containers required for 1600 parts = 1600/250= 6.4 ~ 7 containters

Waiting time of 7 containers = 7 x 4.26 = 29.82 hours.

If one of the containers has to be removed 1600 parts has to be carried in 6 containers ie., 29.82hours - 6 hours = 23.82hours

Waiting time per container before loading = 23.82/6 = 3.97 hours.

Reduced Total waiting time of the container = 3.97 hours + the processing time of 250 parts = 3.97 + 1.736 =5.7hours ~ 5 hours and 42 minutes

High-Low Method
frozen [14]

Answer:

Requirement 1

<em>High Point = March</em>

<em>Low Point = January</em>

Requirement 2

<em>Variable rate for tanning $0.41 per tanning appointment </em>

<em>Fixed cost per month $1,457</em>

Requirement 3

<em>Total Cost = $1,457 + $0.41 × Activity Level</em>

Requirement 4

<em>Total predicted cost for September $ 2,482</em>

<em>Total fixed cost for September $1,457</em>

<em>Total predicted variable cost for September $1,025</em>

Explanation:

Requirement 1

High Point = March

Low Point = January

Requirement 2

<em>Variable Cost = Difference in Overhead Cost (High - Low)/ Difference in Activity (High - Low)</em>

                       = $2,810 - $1,744 / 3,300 - 700

                       = $1,066/ 2,600

                       = $0.41

<em>Fixed Cost Component = Total Overhead Cost - Variable Cost × Selected Activity.</em>

Lets Select, January 700 $1,744

Fixed Cost Component = Total Overhead Cost - Variable Cost × Selected Activity.

                                       =  $1,744 - $0.41 × 700

                                       =  $1,457

Requirement 3

Cost formula for tanning services

<em>Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost</em>

thus,

Total Cost = $1,457 + $0.41 × Activity Level

Requirement 4

Total Cost = $1,457 + $0.41 × Activity Level

                 =  $1,457 + $0.41 × 2,500

                 = $ 2,482

Leokris [45]

Answer:

Total Cost of Job X4A:                                             $

Direct material cost  ($9,000 x 500 units)              4,500,000                              

Direct labour cost (300 hrs x $15 x 500 units )       2,250,000

Overhead applied (100 hrs x $22.50 x 500 units)  1,125,000

Total cost                                                                    7,875,000

Explanation:

The total cost of Job X4A is the aggregate of direct material cost, direct labour cost and overhead applied. Overhead is absorbed on the basis of machine hours. Thus, we will multiply the overhead rate by machine hours and number of units produced.
