Daily Kneads, Inc., is considering outsourcing one of its many products rather than making it internally. The supplier will charge $20,000 for 20,000 pounds of the product. The costs per pound to make this product include: Cost per Pound Direct Labor $0.30 Direct Materials $0.60 Allocated Unavoidable Overhead $0.50 If Daily Kneads outsources, what is the savings (or loss) per pound for the company as a whole?

-.1 The relevant costs are those that will change as a result of the decision. In this example, the variable direct labor and materials will be eliminated if the company outsources and thus are relevant. The allocated, unavoidable costs will not change and thus are irrelevant. If the cost to outsource is more than the direct materials and labor then the company should not outsource.

Quiche & Tell, Inc., is considering outsourcing one of its many products rather than making it internally. The supplier will charge $15,000 for 3,000 quiches.

Daily Kneads, Inc., is considering outsourcing one of its many products rather than making it internally. The supplier will charge $20,000 for 20,000 pounds of the product. The costs per pound to make this product include: Cost per Pound Direct Labor $0.50 Direct Materials $0.40 Allocated Unavoidable Corporate Overhead $0.80 Calculate the relevant incremental cost per pound of making the product. Do not include a dollar sign ($) in your answer.

.9 (The relevant costs are those that will change as a result of the decision. In this example, the variable direct labor and materials will be eliminated if the company outsources and thus are relevant. The allocated costs will not change and thus are irrelevant. If the cost to outsource is less than the direct materials and labor then the company should outsource.)

Salt & Buttery, Inc., is a catering business. Direct labor costs are $16 per hour and overhead is allocated to jobs at a rate of $20 per direct labor hour. Catering for the Morris Lest party cost $800 for direct materials and took 10 direct labor hours. Calculate the total cost of the Morris Lest party.

1,160 Total Costs = Direct Labor + Direct Material + Overhead Direct Labor = Wage per hour x Number of hours Overhead = Overhead Rate per hour x Number of direct labor hours

Murphy's Paw produces and sells 1,000 units of a single product per year (with excess capacity of 400 units). The cost of producing and selling a single unit is: Direct material $14 Direct labor 11 Allocated variable overhead 3 Allocated fixed overhead 4 The normal selling price is $50.00 per unit. An order has been received from an overseas company for 100 units at the special price of $40.00 per unit. What would be the additional income (or loss) of taking on this special order?

1,200 Only the contribution margin (special price minus the variable cost) is relevant. The allocated fixed costs are irrelevant because they will not change with the special order.

It will purchase enough pizzas so that 100 pizzas are in inventory at all times by purchasing 1,100 pizzas in the first month and 1,000 pizzas in the second and third months. The pizza is expected to cost $6 per pizza. It expects to pay 70% in the month of purchase and the remainder in the following month. Calculate the amount of Accounts Payable on its budgeted balance at the end of the quarter.

1,800 By the end of the third month, the purchases from the first month (which includes the extra pizza for inventory) have all been paid. Only 30% of the last month's purchase (Purchases = Cost of Pizza = Quantity Purchased x Cost per Pizza) is in Accounts Payable on the balance sheet. Month 1 Pizzas: 70% paid for in Month 1, 30% paid for in Month 2. Month 1 includes the extra 100 pizzas. Month 2 Pizzas: 70% paid for in Month 2, 30% paid for in Month 3.

Daffy Duct, Inc., has the capacity to produce 12,000 cases of duct tape per year but only produces and sells 10,000 cases at $50 per case. The direct materials equals $130,000, direct labor equals $110,000, and overhead equals $100,000. Sixty percent of the manufacturing overhead is variable. The forty percent of fixed overhead is allocated equally to all products. Dewey, Cheatum & Howe has offered to purchase 1,000 cases but at a reduced price of $40 per case. What is the additional profit (loss) of accepting this offer?

10,000 The fixed allocated overhead is irrelevant since the costs will not change if the company decides to accept the special order. Thus, the special price should be compared to the relevant incremental costs (only the variable material, labor and overhead) that will increase if the order is accepted, not the total cost.

Pasta Disasta, Inc., is preparing its master budget for its first quarter of business. It expects to sell 4,000 pizzas at $9 per pizza per month. It expects to collect 95% of the sales in the month of the sale and 5% in the following month. Calculate the amount of budgeted sales for its first quarter.

If Squid Roe, Inc., has an operating leverage of 8.5 and its sales increase by 15%, calculate the percentage change in operating income to the nearest tenth of a percent. Do not include % sign in your answer.

127.5 (First, you would need to calculate the Operating Leverage Multiplier = Total Contribution Margin/Operating Income. In this problem, you already have the Operating Leverage Multiplier. You then multiply the multiplier by the percentage change in sales to get the percentage change in operating income. The greater the fixed costs relative to the contribution margin, the greater the operating leverage and multiplier effect.)

Buy & Large, Inc.'s, Purchasing Department's estimated annual costs are $400,000 and the number of purchase orders written is 800,000.

Piece of Pizza Company is preparing its master budget for its first year of business. It expects to sell 6,000 pizzas at $8 per pizza per month. It expects to collect 95% of the sales in the month of the sale and 5% in the following month. Calculate its Accounts Receivable balance at the end of its first month.

2,400 Accounts Receivable = Sales in the month x (100% - 95% Collected in the month)

Applesoft produces tablets, laptops and televisions. Applesoft typically sells 1,000 tablets a year. The tablet information is as follows: Selling price per unit $60 Direct material cost per unit $30 Direct labor cost per unit $15 Total allocated overhead (1/4 avoidable if eliminate tablets) $70,000 One fourth of the allocated overhead would be avoidable if the tablets were eliminated. How much would Net Income change by if Applesoft were to eliminate the tablets?

2,500 Should the product be eliminated, the company will lose the contribution margin but will save 1/4 of the avoidable, allocated fixed costs. The product should be eliminated If the contribution margin is less than the savings in avoidable fixed cost since operating income would increase. The contribution margin is $15 (=$60 price - $45 variable costs) per tablet. If the product is eliminated, the company will lose the $15,000 contribution. However, if the total allocated overhead is $80,000 and 1/4 is avoidable, then $20,000 will be saved in overhead. The net would be an increase in operating income of $5,000 (=$20,000 savings - $15,000 loss in contribution margin). Since operating income will increase the product should be eliminated. If the total allocated overhead was $60,000 or less, the product should not be eliminated since the $15,000 loss of contribution margin would be greater than savings of 1/4 of the overhead.

Piece of Pizza Company is preparing its master budget for its first year of business. It expects to sell 5,000 pizzas at $11 per pizza per month.

If Curl Up & Dye, Inc., has an operating leverage of 2.5 and its sales decrease by 8%, calculate the percentage change in operating income rounding to the nearest tenth of a percent. Do not include the % or a negative sign in your answer.

20 First, you would need to calculate the Operating Leverage Multiplier = Total Contribution Margin/Operating Income. In this problem, you already have the Operating Leverage Multiplier. You then multiply the multiplier by the percentage change in sales to get the percentage change in operating income. The greater the fixed costs relative to the contribution margin, the greater the operating leverage and multiplier effect.

Ducts Duck, Inc., produced and sold 2,000 units of its product. Selling price per unit $20 Variable cost per unit $10 Annual fixed cost $10,000 What is the company's breakeven point in sales dollars?

20,000 Total Costs = (Variable Cost per unit x number of units) + Total Fixed Costs Subtract Fixed Costs from Total Cost to get Total Variable Costs. Variable Cost per unit = Total Variable Costs / # of units. First calculate the contribution margin (CM) ratio = CM/Price x 100% Then, divide the CM ratio into the Fixed Costs. The result is the amount of sales dollars needed to break even.

Buy & Large, Inc.'s, Purchasing Department's estimated annual costs are $400,000 and the number of purchase orders written is 800,000. The Shoe Department has requested 400,000 purchases during the year for a total of $4,000,000 in purchases. How much of the Purchasing Department's cost should be allocated to the Shoe Department?

200,000 The overhead rate to allocate the purchasing department costs to the Shoe Department equals the annual costs of purchases by the purchases department divided by the total number of purchase orders by all departments. This overhead rate is then multiplied by the Shoe Department's cost.

Quiche & Tell, Inc., is considering outsourcing one of its many products rather than making it internally. The supplier will charge $15,000 for 3,000 quiches. The costs per quiche to make this product include: Cost per Quiche Production Manager's Salary $1 Direct Labor $1 Direct Materials $2 Allocated Unavoidable Corporate Overhead $5 Calculate the relevant incremental cost per quiche of making the product. Do not include a dollar sign ($) in your answer.

3 The relevant costs are those that will change as a result of the decision. In this example, the variable direct labor and materials will be eliminated if the company outsources and thus are relevant. The allocated costs will not change and thus are irrelevant. If the cost to outsource is less than the direct materials and labor then the company should outsource.

Vicious Cycle, Inc., produces and sells 2,000 bikes. Selling price per unit $4,000 Variable cost per unit $800 Annual fixed cost $500,000 What is the company's contribution margin per unit? (Round to the nearest cent.)

3,200 Contribution Margin (CM) = Price - Variable Cost per unit The CM contributes to covering fixed costs and then increasing operating income. For example, if the price is $5 and the variable cost is $3.50 per unit, then: Contribution Margin (CM) = Price - Variable Cost per unit = $5 - 3.50 = $1.50 per unit Thus each unit contributes $1.50 to covering fixed costs and then increasing operating income by $1.50 once beyond the breakeven point.

Planet of the Crepes, Inc., makes and sells crepes. It expects sales to equal $500,000, total variable costs to equal $350,000 and total fixed costs to equal $60,000. What is the contribution margin ratio?

30% Contribution Margin ratio = Total Contribution Margin / Sales= ($500,000 - 350,000)/$500,000 = 30% For each $1 of sales beyond the breakeven point, operating income will increase by $0.30.

Microhard produces tablets, laptops and televisions. Microhard typically sells 1,000 tablets a year. The tablet information is as follows: Selling price per unit $70 Direct material cost per unit $30 Direct labor cost per unit $10 Total unavoidable allocated overhead $47,000 How much would Net Income decrease if Microhard were to eliminate the tablets?

30,000 Should the product be eliminated, the company will lose the contribution margin. In this example, the allocated overhead is unavoidable and thus is irrelevant to the decision. If some of the overhead is avoidable, then the loss in contribution margin should be compared to the savings in overhead. If the contribution margin is less than the savings, then the product should be eliminated.

40 Contribution Margin ratio = Total Contribution Margin / Sales For each $1 of sales beyond the breakeven point, operating income will increase by the CM ratio. For example, if sales equals $100,000 and total variable costs equals $70,000 at 20,000 units, then: Contribution Margin (CM) ratio = ($100,000 - 70,000)/$100,000 = 30% Thus, once beyond the breakeven point, each $1 of sales contributes $0.30 to operating income.

Lord of the Fries, Inc., makes industrial sized bags of fries in the same factory. The fries' costs consist of the following: Wages of Factory Workers $400,000 Potatoes 100,000 Factory Rent 60,000 Allocated Ingredients (salt and preservatives) 300 Factory Supervisor Salary 10,000 Sales Commissions 60,000 Calculate the Direct Costs for the industrial sized bags of fries.

500,000 Direct Costs include only those costs that are directly traceable to the product (cost object). Indirect costs are not easily traced to one specific product and thus must be allocated to the costs using an overhead allocation rate. The direct costs are materials, potatoes, and labor, factory wages. The other costs, rent, salary of the supervisor, the indirect allocated ingredients, and sales commissions are indirect costs.

Daffy Duct, Inc., has the capacity to produce 12,000 cases of duct tape per year but only produces and sells 10,000 cases at $50 per case. The direct materials equals $170,000, direct labor equals $110,000, and overhead equals $100,000. Sixty percent of the manufacturing overhead is variable. The forty percent of fixed overhead is allocated equally to all products. Dewey, Cheatum & Howe has offered to purchase 1,000 cases but at a reduced price of $40 per case. What is the additional profit (loss) of accepting this offer?

6,000 The fixed allocated overhead is irrelevant since the costs will not change if the company decides to accept the special order. Thus, the special price should be compared to the relevant incremental costs (only the variable material, labor and overhead) that will increase if the order is accepted, not the total cost.
