Somerset Computer Company has been purchasing carrying cases for its portable computers at a purchase price of $62 per unit. The

company, which is currently operating below full capacity, charges factory overhead to production at the rate of 45% of direct labor cost. The unit costs to produce comparable carrying cases are expected to be as follows:
Direct materials $8.00
Direct labor 12.00
Factory overhead (40% of direct labor) 4.80
Total cost per unit $24.80

If Somerset Computer Company manufactures the carrying cases, fixed factory overhead costs will not increase and variable factory overhead costs associated with the cases are expected to be 25% of the direct labor costs.

Required:
Prepare a differential analysis dated April 30 to determine whether the company should make (Alternative 1) or buy (Alternative 2) the carrying case.

Answer:

Somerset Computer Company

Differential Analysis dated April 30:

                                                 Make                  Buy      

                                            Alternative 1    Alternative 2    Difference

Variable cost per unit           $23.00                $62.00           $39.00

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Purchase price per portable computer carrying case = $62

Unit cost of production:

Direct materials                                     $8.00

Direct labor                                            12.00

Factory overhead (40% of direct labor) 4.80

Total cost per unit                              $24.80

Unit cost of production, with overhead broken into fixed and variable:

Direct materials                                     $8.00

Direct labor                                            12.00

Factory overhead

Fixed overhead                                       1.80

Variable overhead                                 3.00

Total cost per unit                             $24.80

b) With a net gain of $39 per unit, the company should make the unit (Alternative 1) instead of buying it (Alternative 2).

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The correct option is Debit Cash $1,864,097; debit Discount on Bonds Payable $135,903; credit Bonds Payable $2,000,000.

Explanation:

This question is an instance of bonds issued at a discount. This happens when a bond is issued below the face value of the bond and also happens when the coupon rate on the bond payable is less than the market rate.

The face value of the bond payable is $2,000,000 while the market value is $1,864,097, so there is a discount of $2,000,000 - $1,864,097 = $135,903 on the bond payable, which is to be amortized over the life of the bond payable.

So, the appropriate journals to record this transaction is as provided above.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

This situation is an example of cross Price elasticity of Demand

Explanation:

If change in Price in Rental Company A doesn't necessitate change in prices in Rental companies B.C.D.E & F

Then the products A has on offer are not close substitutes to the rival companies

However where Rental company G lowers his price and it immediately triggers a Price reduction in Companies B to F, then obviously they offer similar products that are close substitutes and serve similar segment or channel of the Market Size. Thus failure to lower their Price will automatically see Customers rent cars more from Company G.

This situation is an example of cross Price elasticity of Demand
