Assume a company manufactures many products, one of which normally sells for $48 per unit. The company’s accounting system reports the following unit product cost for this product:    Per Unit Direct materials   $ 18   Direct labor     12   Manufacturing overhead     10   Total cost   $ 40   The company estimates that $3 of its manufacturing overhead varies with respect to the number of units produced. The remainder of its overhead is fixed and unaffected by the volume of units produced within the relevant range.A customer has approached the company with an offer to buy 300 units of a customized version of the product mentioned above for $42. The company can fulfill this order using the existing manufacturing capacity. To accommodate the customer’s desired product design, the company would incur additional direct materials cost per unit of $3. It would also have to buy a special tool for $520 that has no other use or resale value after the special order is completed. Assuming that accepting this order will not have any effect on sales to other customers, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order?

Assume a company reported the following results:            Sales $ 400,000     Variable expenses   260,000     Contribution margin   140,000     Fixed expenses   40,000     Net operating income $ 100,000     Average operating assets $ 750,000     The turnover is closest to: 

Assume a company reported the following results:            Sales $ 400,000     Variable expenses   260,000     Contribution margin   140,000     Fixed expenses   40,000     Net operating income $ 100,000     Average operating assets $ 600,000     If the company’s minimum required rate of return on average operating assets is 16%, its residual income would be:

Assume the following (1) sales = $200,000, (2) unit sales = 10,000, (3) the contribution margin ratio = 25%, and (4) net operating income = $10,000. Given these four assumptions, which of the following is true? The total fixed expenses = $90,000 The total variable expenses = $50,000 The contribution margin per unit = $5 The break-even point is 9,000 units

Use the following information to determine the break-even point in sales dollars:        Unit sales 50,000 Units Dollar sales $ 500,000 Fixed costs $ 204,000 Variable costs $ 187,500  

ssume a retailing company has two departments—Department A and Department B. The company’s most recent contribution format income statement follows:    Total   Department A   Department B Sales $ 800,000     $ 350,000       $ 450,000     Variable expenses   320,000       120,000         200,000     Contribution margin   480,000       230,000         250,000     Fixed expenses   400,000       140,000         260,000     Net operating income (loss) $ 80,000     $ 90,000       $ (10,000 )   The company says that $130,000 of the fixed expenses being charged to Department B are sunk costs or allocated costs that will continue if the segment is discontinued. However, if Department B is discontinued the sales in Department A will drop by 8%. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of discontinuing Department B? Hint: compare the lost contribution margin to the savings of fixed costs.

A product sells for $200 per unit, and its variable costs per unit are $130. Total fixed costs are $420,000. If the firm wants to earn $35,000 pretax income, how many units must be sold?

Data concerning Bedwell Enterprises Corporation’s single product appear below:   Selling price per unit $  200.00 Variable expenses per unit $  95.50 Fixed expense per month $  441,890     The unit sales to attain the company’s monthly target profit of $27,000 is closest to:

Assume a company has two products—A and B—that emerge from a joint process. Product A has been allocated $24,000 of the total joint costs of $48,000. A total of 2,000 units of Product A are produced from the joint process. Product A can be sold at the split-off point for $16 per unit, or it can be processed further for an additional total cost of $14,100 and then sold for $25 per unit. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of further processing Product A?

Assume the following (1) selling price per unit = $25, (2) variable expense per unit = $13, (3) the total fixed expenses = $20,000, and (4) net operating income = $10,000. Given these four assumptions, unit sales must be:
