<span>To calculate for the amount that the Ortega company should sell their computer hard drives, we have to sum up or add up the market price and the profit they want. The total is equivalent to $72. Although selling at this price will guarantee them the desirable profit per piece, it is to be noted that the market is in tight competition so they may opt to lower down the price. </span>

tester [92]

Answer:

The special order should be rejected since it decreases net profit.  

Explanation:

Alpha = $225

Beta = $175

total production capacity = 130,000 pounds

raw materials = $6 per pound

Production costs per unit                        Alpha                Beta

direct materials                                          $42                   $24

direct labor                                                 $42                   $32

variable manufacturing overhead            $26                   $24  

fixed manufacturing overhead                 $34                   $37

variable selling expenses                         $31                    $27

<u>common fixed expenses                          $34                   $29  </u>

total cost per unit                                    $209                 $173

Cane expects to sell 114,000 Alphas.

Net profit = (114,000 x $225) - (114,000 x $209) = $25,650,000 - $23,826,000 = $1,824,000

If the new sales order is accepted, Cane's revenue will increase to:

  • 101,000 x $225 = $22,725,000
  • 29,000 x $156 = $4,524,000
  • total = $27,249,000

Their total cost will by:

  • 114,000* x $209 = $23,826,000
  • 16,000 x ($209 - $34 avoidable fixed costs) = $2,800,000
  • total = $26,626,000

*This sale increases the output, but previous costs cannot be avoided.

Net profit with special order = $27,249,000 - $26,626,000 = $623,000

The special order should be rejected since it decreases net profit.

1. What is the revised net operating income if unit sales increase by 16%? 2. What is the revised net operating income if the se
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

1) NOI = $90,240

2) NOI = 29,250

3) NOI = 133,260

4) NOI = 110,190

Explanation:

<em>The question is incomplete.</em>

<em />

<em>Sales (38,000 units)      $342,000     ($9.00 per unit)</em>

<em>Variable expenses        $228,000     ($6.00 per unit)</em>

<em>Contribution margin        $114,000     ($3.00 per unit)</em>

<em>Fixed expenses                $42,000 </em>

<em>Net operating income      $72,000</em>

1. What is the revised net operating income if unit sales increase by 16%

If unit sales increase, we can calculate this with a 16% increase in the contribution margin.

NOI=CM*(1+0.16)-FE=114,000*1.16-42,000=132,240-42,000\\\\NOI=90,240

2. What is the revised net operating income if the selling price decreases by $1.50 per unit and the number of units sold increases by 25%?

A reduction of $1.50 in price means a reduction of the same amount in the contribution margin per unit (CMu), as the variable expenses stay the same .

Also, the contribution margin increases by 25%, for the increase in units sold (q).

NOI=CM_u*q-FE=(3.00-1.50)*(38,000*1.25)-42,000\\\\NOI=1.5*47,500-42,000=71,250-42,000\\\\NOI=29,250

3. What is the revised net operating income if the selling price increases by $1.50 per unit, fixed expenses increase by $6,000, and the number of units sold decreases by 6%?

The selliing price will be added to the contribution margin per unit.

The units sold are increased 6%.

NOI=CMu*q-FE=(3.00+1.50)*38,000*1.06-(42,000+6,000)\\\\NOI=4.5*40,280-48,000=181,260-48,000\\\\NOI=133,260

4. What is the revised net operating income if the selling price per unit increases by 20%, variable expenses increase by 30 cents per unit, and the number of units sold decreases by 11%?

The contribution margin per unit, with a increase in price and an increase in variable cost, becomes:

CM_u=P-VE_u=9.00*(1.20)-(6.00+0.30)=10.80-6.30=4.50

The units sold is now:

q'=(1-0.11)q=0.89q=0.89*38,000=33,820

Then, the net operating income becomes:

NOI=CM_u*q-FE=4.5*33,820-42,000=152,190-42,000\\\\NOI=110,190
