What is the total relevant cost of producing the units internally?

$120,000

Superware, Inc. produces multiple products out of a common input. Geratin is one such product, which has a sales value of $15,000 at the split-off point. Joint costs allocated to Geratin are $12,000. Sales value of Geratin increases to $25,000 after further processing, and this processing will cost $7,000. Should Geratin be processed further?

Yes, process further Incremental revenue of $10,000 ($25,000 - $15,000) exceeds incremental costs of $7,000 by $3,000. Hence, Geratin should be processed further

A machine or a process that is a constraint is working _____

at full capacity

If some products must be cut back because of a constraint, the key to maximizing profits is to favor the products that provide the highest ______ drop item here .

contribution margin per unit of the constrained resource

Costs that differ between alternatives and impact the decisions that are made

sunk costs

When a manager increases the capacity of the bottleneck, it is called _____ drop item here the constraint.

tightening

Future costs that do not vary based on the alternative chosen

unavoidable costs

Prairie, Inc. produces a single product. It has an annual capacity of 10,000 units, but currently uses only 80% of it. Each unit is sold for $50 and requires direct material worth $30 and direct labor worth $5. Manufacturing overhead cost is $10 per unit of which 70% is variable. What is Prairie's total incremental cost incurred to produce each unit?

$42 = $30 + $5 + ($10 × 70%)

Roberto, Inc. manufactures products A and B. Both products have a contribution margin ratio of 40%. What is the contribution margin per unit of the constrained resource for product B, if labor time is the constrained resource?

3 per minute The contribution margin per unit of product B is $6 and the total labor time required to produce each unit is 2 minutes. Therefore, the contribution margin per unit of constrained resource for product B is $3 per minute ($6 ÷ 2 minutes).

Roberto, Inc. manufactures products A and B. Both products have a contribution margin ratio of 40%. Assume that labor time is the constrained resource and only a total of 3,000 minutes is available. Product A has a total demand of 500 units and product B has a total demand for 600 units. Considering the constraint, how many units of product B should be produced to maximize profits?

600 units The contribution margin per unit of product B is $6 and the total labor time required to produce each unit is 2 minutes. Therefore, the contribution margin per unit of constrained resource for product B is $3 per minute ($6 ÷ 2 minutes). Similarly, the contribution margin per unit of constrained resource for product A can be calculated as $2 per minute ($8 ÷ 4 minutes). Since product B has a higher contribution margin per unit of constrained resource than product A, the company should produce all the units it can sell of product B (600 units) before producing product A.

Joint costs already incurred up to the split-off point are relevant in decisions concerning what to do from the split-off point onward.

false Joint costs already incurred up to the split-off point are always irrelevant in decisions concerning what to do from the split-off point forward. This is because once the split-off point is reached, the joint costs have already been incurred and nothing can be done to avoid them.

_______ processed through the bottleneck is a way of relaxing a constraint because it is essentially free and might even yield additional cost savings.

reducing defective units

High Roller Inc. is trying to decide whether to buy a private jet or to lease one. The finder's fee is incurred only if the private jet is bought. The finder's fee is a ________ drop item here cost for this decision.

relevant

Variable costs of $6 Allocated rental cost of $4 for space used Allocated selling and distribution costs of $5 Outside supplier's offered selling price of $14 per unit of Zentium

relevant irrelevant irrelevant relevant

If incremental revenue from further processing exceeds incremental costs from such processing incurred after the split-off point, it is profitable to continue processing such joint products after the split-off point.

true It is profitable to continue processing a joint product after the split-off point so long as the incremental revenue from such processing exceeds the incremental processing cost incurred after the split-off point.

Good Buy is currently producing and marketing a product. The manager at Good Buy is considering a contract manufacturer's offer to supply the same product. Marketing costs involved in selling the product are ________

unavoidable

Prairie, Inc. produces one single product. It has an annual capacity of 10,000 units, but currently uses only 80% of it. Each unit is sold for $50 and requires direct material worth $30 and direct labor worth $5. Manufacturing overhead cost is $10 per unit of which 70% is variable. Should a special order to sell 1,000 units at $44 be accepted?

yes. The incremental revenue generated by the special order is $44,000 (= $44 per unit × 1,000 units). The incremental cost is $42,000 (= (direct materials of $30 per unit + direct labor of $5 per unit + variable manufacturing overhead of $7 per unit) × 1,000 units). Since the incremental net operating income generated by this special order is $2,000 (= $44,000 − $42,000), the special order should be accepted.
