Jobs Inc.

1. The offer should not be accepted.

2. The offer should be accepted.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Units of Tri-Robos to be manufactured = 21,300

Costs of manufacturing:

Direct materials                                        $1,086,300

Direct labor ($39 per robot)                         830,700

Variable overhead ($5 per robot)                106,500

Allocated fixed overhead ($28 per robot) 600,000

Total                                                        $2,623,500

Unit cost = $123.17 ($2,623,500/21,300)

Price from Tiench Inc per unit = $113

Total offer price = $2,406,900 ($113 * 21,300)
