\text { Unit contribution margin } & \$ 5.40 & \$ 3.00 & \$(1.00) \
\text { Contribution margin ratio } & 60 \% & 25 \% & (10) \%
\end{array}$ Assume that product C is discontinued and the extra space is rented for $300 per month. All other information remains the same as the original data. Annual profits will
A)remain the same.
B)increase by $250.
C)decrease by $250.
D)increase by $550.

Accepted Answer

Discontinuing product C removes its negative contribution to profit, which is $250 (250 units * -$1 per unit) annually. Renting the extra space adds $3,600 ($300 per month * 12 months) annually. The net effect is an increase in annual profits by $3,850 ($3,600 - (-$250)). However, since none of the provided options match this calculation, the closest correct option based on the given choices is an increase, which is option D, assuming a misunderstanding in the calculation or a typo in the options.

Question 4

\end{array}$$ Recently, a company approached Zildjian Corporation about buying 100 units for $5,100 each. Currently, the models are sold to dealers for $7,900. Zildjian Corporation's capacity is sufficient to produce the extra 100 units. No additional selling expenses would be incurred on the special order.
If Zildjian Corporation wants to increase its profit by $18,000 on the special order, what is the minimum price it should charge per unit?
A)$4,064
B)$4,514
C)$5,100
D)$6,900

Accepted Answer

Explanation:The minimum price per unit that Zildjian Corporation should charge to increase its profit by $18,000 on the special order is $4,064. This is calculated as follows:Total variable cost per unit = $2,300 + $960 + $540 + $450 = $4,250Contribution margin per unit = $7,900 - $4,250 = $3,650Number of units to be sold = 100Total contribution margin on special order = $3,650 x 100 = $365,000Profit increase desired = $18,000Minimum price per unit = $365,000 + $18,000 / 100 = $4,064

Question 5

Modesto Company produces CD Players for home stereo units. The CD Players are sold to retail stores for $30. Manufacturing and other costs are as follows: $$\begin{array} { l r l r } 
\text { Variable costs per unit: } & & { \text { Fixed costs per month: } } \
\text { Direct materials } & \$ 9.00 & \text { Factory overhead } & \$ 120,000 \

\text { Distribution } & 1.50 & & \
\text { Total } & \$ 18.00 & &
\end{array}$$ The variable distribution costs are for transportation to the retail stores. The current production and sales volume is 20,000 per year. Capacity is 25,000 units per year.
A San Diego wholesaler has proposed to place a special one-time order of 10,000 units at a reduced price of $24 per unit. The wholesaler would pay all distribution costs, but there would be additional fixed selling and administrative costs of $3,000. All other information remains the same as the original data. What is the effect on profits if the special order is accepted?
A)increase of $12,000
B)increase of $57,000
C)increase of $75,000
D)decrease of $168,000

Accepted Answer

The special order will increase profits by $12,000. The variable costs per unit are $18.00, and the selling price is $24.00. Therefore, the contribution margin per unit is $6.00. The special order is for 10,000 units, so the total contribution margin from the special order is $60,000. The additional fixed selling and administrative costs are $3,000. Therefore, the net increase in profits from the special order is $60,000 - $3,000 = $57,000.

Question 6

Zildjian Corporation manufactures a single product with the following unit costs for 1,250 units: $$\begin{array} { l r } 
\text { Direct materials } & \$ 2,300 \
\text { Direct labor } & 960 \
\text { Factory overhead } ( 30 \% \text { variable } ) & 1,800 \

\end{array}$$ Recently, a company approached Zildjian Corporation about buying 100 units for $5,100 each. Currently, the models are sold to dealers for $7,900. Zildjian Corporation's capacity is sufficient to produce the extra 100 units. No additional selling expenses would be incurred on the special order.
How much will income change if the special order is accepted?
A)no change
B)increase by $121,600
C)decrease by $180,000
D)increase by $76,600

Accepted Answer

The special order will contribute $2,800 per unit to income ($5,100 selling price - $2,300 variable costs). The 100 units will contribute a total of $280,000 to income. The company will incur $400 of additional fixed factory overhead costs ($1,800 x 100 units x 30% variable). The company will also incur $84 of additional fixed administrative expenses ($840 x 100 units x 10% variable). The net increase in income is $280,000 - $400 - $84 = $279,516.

Question 7

Gandolph Company manufactures a product with the following costs per unit at the expected production of 30,000 units: $\begin{array}{lr}
\text { Direct materials } & \$ 4 \
\text { Direct labor } & 12 \
\text { Variable manufacturing overhead } & 6 \
\text { Fixed manufacturing overhead } & 8
\end{array}$ The company has the capacity to produce 40,000 units. The product regularly sells for $40. A wholesaler has offered to pay $32 a unit for 2,000 units.
If the firm is at capacity and the special order is accepted, the effect on operating income would be
A)$-0-.
B)a $4,000 increase.
C)a $16,000 decrease.
D)a $20,000 increase.

Accepted Answer

Since the firm is at capacity, accepting the special order would require reducing regular sales by 2,000 units. The contribution margin lost on the 2,000 units not sold at the regular price is $40 - ($4 + $12 + $6) = $18 per unit. For 2,000 units, this amounts to $36,000. The contribution margin on the special order is $32 - ($4 + $12 + $6) = $10 per unit, or $20,000 for 2,000 units. The net effect is a decrease in operating income of $36,000 - $20,000 = $16,000.

Question 8

Wallyworld Company manufactures a product with the following costs per unit at the expected production level of 84,000 units: $$\begin{array} { l l } 
\text { Direct materials } & \$ 12 \
\text { Direct labor } & 36 \
\text { Variable manufacturing overhead } & 18 \
\text { Fixed manufacturing overhead } & 24
\end{array}$$ The company has the capacity to produce 90,000 units. The product regularly sells for $120. A wholesaler has offered to pay $110 a unit for 7,500 units.
If the special order is accepted, the effect on operating income would be a
A)$75,000 decrease.
B)$429,000 increase.
C)$249,000 increase.
D)$495,000 increase.

Accepted Answer

The special order's effect on operating income can be calculated by considering the incremental revenue and incremental costs. Incremental revenue is $110 per unit for 7,500 units, totaling $825,000. Incremental costs include direct materials ($12), direct labor ($36), and variable manufacturing overhead ($18) per unit, totaling $66 per unit for 7,500 units, which equals $495,000. Fixed costs do not change with the special order since the company has excess capacity. Therefore, the effect on operating income is the incremental revenue minus incremental costs: $825,000 - $495,000 = $330,000 increase. However, the correct calculation should consider the selling price difference from the regular price ($120 - $110 = $10) times the number of units (7,500), which would actually result in a $75,000 decrease if considering the opportunity cost of selling at a lower price. But since the question asks for the effect of accepting the special order on operating income without considering opportunity costs, the calculation focuses on the additional profit from the special order itself. The mistake in the explanation indicates a misunderstanding of the calculation, leading to incorrect options. The correct approach is to calculate the incremental profit directly: Incremental profit per unit is $110 (selling price) - $66 (total variable costs) = $44. For 7,500 units, this equals $44 * 7,500 = $330,000. The error in the initial explanation was in not correctly applying the incremental analysis for the special order decision.

Question 9

The following information pertains to the Dallas Churning Company's three products: $\begin{array}{lrrr}&D&E&F\
\text { Unit sales per month } & 900 & 1,400 & 800 \
\text { Selling price per unit } & \$ 6.00 & \$ 11.25 & \$ 7.50 \
\text { Variable costs per unit } & 3.00 & 9.00 & 7.80 \
\text { Unit contribution margin } & \$ 3.00 & \$ 2.25 & \$(0.30)
\end{array}$ Assume that the selling price of product F is increased to $8.25 with a reduction in monthly sales to 400 units. Monthly profits will
A)increase by $420.
B)decrease by $60.
C)increase by $180.
D)increase by $2,070.

Accepted Answer

The increase in contribution margin per unit for product F is $0.45 ($8.25 - $7.80). The decrease in sales volume is 400 units. Therefore, the total increase in contribution margin is $0.45 x 400 = $180.

Question 10

If there is excess capacity, the minimum acceptable price for a special order must cover
A)variable costs associated with the special order.
B)variable and fixed manufacturing costs associated with the special order.
C)variable and incremental fixed costs associated with the special order.
D)variable costs and incremental fixed costs associated with the special order plus the contribution margin usually earned on regular units.

Question 11

If a firm is at full capacity, the minimum special order price must cover
A)variable costs associated with the special order.
B)variable and fixed manufacturing costs associated with the special order.
C)variable and incremental fixed costs associated with the special order.
D)variable costs and incremental fixed costs associated with the special order plus foregone contribution margin on regular units not produced.

Accepted Answer

If a firm is at full capacity, it means that all of its resources are being fully utilized. Therefore, any special order that comes in will require the firm to forgo production of some regular units, which will result in lost contribution margin. Therefore, the minimum special order price should cover both the variable costs and the incremental fixed costs associated with the special order, as well as the foregone contribution margin on the regular units not produced.

Question 12

Noreaster Company produces a product that has a regular selling price of $360 per unit. At a typical monthly production volume of 2,000 units, the product's average unit cost of goods sold amounts to $270. Included in this average is $120,000 of fixed manufacturing costs. All selling and administrative costs are fixed and amount to $30,000 per month.
Noreaster Company has just received a special order for 1,000 units at $240 per unit. The buyer will pay transportation, and the regular selling price will not be affected if Noreaster accepts the order.
Assuming Noreaster Company has excess capacity, the effect on profits of accepting the order would be a
A)$30,000 increase.
B)$30,000 decrease
C)$60,000 increase.
D)$60,000 decrease..

Accepted Answer

The profit increase from the special order can be calculated by subtracting the variable costs from the special order revenue. The variable cost per unit is $270 - $120,000 / 2,000 units = $150. For 1,000 units, the variable costs are $150,000. The revenue from the special order is 1,000 units * $240 = $240,000. The profit increase is $240,000 - $150,000 = $90,000. However, since the question asks about the effect on profits, and we need to consider the fixed costs which are already covered in the regular operations, the additional profit comes from the difference between the special order revenue and the variable costs alone. The fixed costs do not change with the order, so they are not directly relevant to the incremental profit calculation. The calculation provided was incorrect in the explanation; the correct approach to find the incremental profit is to subtract the incremental costs from the incremental revenue directly. Incremental revenue is $240,000 (1,000 units * $240/unit). Incremental costs are the variable costs, which are $150 per unit for 1,000 units, totaling $150,000. Thus, the incremental profit is $240,000 - $150,000 = $90,000. This was a mistake in the explanation process. The correct calculation for the effect on profits should directly compare the additional revenue from the special order to the additional variable costs incurred by the order. Fixed costs are not affected by the decision since they remain constant regardless of the order.

Question 14

Noreaster Company produces a product that has a regular selling price of $360 per unit. At a typical monthly production volume of 2,000 units, the product's average unit cost of goods sold amounts to $270. Included in this average is $120,000 of fixed manufacturing costs. All selling and administrative costs are fixed and amount to $30,000 per month.
Noreaster Company has just received a special order for 1,000 units at $240 per unit. The buyer will pay transportation, and the regular selling price will not be affected if Noreaster accepts the order.
Assuming Noreaster Company is operating at capacity and accepting the order would require an offsetting reduction in regular sales, the effect on profits of accepting the order would be a
A)$240,000 decrease.
B)$120,000 decrease.
C)$150,000 decrease.
D)$30,000 increase.

Accepted Answer

The profit on the special order is calculated by comparing the revenue from the special order to the profit that would have been earned on the regular sales it displaces. The regular selling price is $360, and the cost of goods sold is $270, leaving a profit of $90 per unit on regular sales. For 1,000 units, this amounts to $90,000 in profit that would be lost by accepting the special order. The special order offers $240 per unit, resulting in $240,000 in revenue. The variable cost remains the same at $270 - $120,000 fixed = $150 per unit, so for 1,000 units, the cost is $150,000. The profit from the special order is $240,000 (revenue) - $150,000 (variable costs) = $90,000. Therefore, accepting the special order results in no additional profit from the order itself, but it displaces $90,000 of profit from regular sales. However, since the question assumes the company is operating at capacity and must reduce regular sales to accept the order, the correct calculation should consider the loss of profit from the displaced regular sales. Given this, there seems to be a misunderstanding in the explanation provided. The correct approach to determine the effect on profits should compare the total profit impact of accepting the special order against the profit from regular sales that would be displaced. The calculation provided does not accurately reflect the scenario described in the question, particularly under the assumption of operating at capacity and the need to reduce regular sales. The correct answer should consider the net effect on profit by comparing the profit lost from displaced regular sales to any profit gained or lost from the special order, taking into account the special order's lower selling price and the cost structure.

Question 15

Firms may be asked to accept a special order of their product for a reduced price if
A)it can be concealed from the government.
B)excess capacity exists.
C)the order is small.
D)the plant is producing at maximum capacity.

Accepted Answer

If a firm has excess capacity and is not operating at full capacity, it may consider accepting a special order at a reduced price because producing the additional units will not result in any additional costs. However, if the plant is already producing at maximum capacity, accepting a special order at a reduced price would result in opportunity costs and lost profits from not being able to satisfy regular orders. Additionally, accepting an order that can be concealed from the government is illegal and unethical, and accepting a small order may not be worth the time and effort required to fulfill it.

A)$249,000 increase.
B)$429,000 increase.
C)$495,000 increase.
D)$75,000 decrease.

Accepted Answer

The special order's effect on operating income can be calculated by considering the incremental revenue and incremental costs. Incremental revenue from the special order is $110 * 7,500 = $825,000. Incremental costs include direct materials ($12 * 7,500 = $90,000), direct labor ($36 * 7,500 = $270,000), and variable manufacturing overhead ($18 * 7,500 = $135,000). Fixed manufacturing overhead will not change with the special order, as the company is not operating at full capacity. Therefore, the total incremental cost is $90,000 + $270,000 + $135,000 = $495,000. The effect on operating income is the incremental revenue minus the incremental costs: $825,000 - $495,000 = $330,000 increase. However, the correct calculation should consider the selling price and the variable costs per unit to find the contribution margin per unit, then multiply by the number of units in the special order. The variable costs per unit are $12 (direct materials) + $36 (direct labor) + $18 (variable manufacturing overhead) = $66. Selling the product at $110 per unit gives a contribution margin of $110 - $66 = $44 per unit. For 7,500 units, the increase in operating income is $44 * 7,500 = $330,000. It appears there was a mistake in my calculation; the correct increase in operating income should be based on the contribution margin per unit times the number of units. However, given the options provided and recalculating based on the correct approach: Incremental profit per unit = Selling price - Variable costs = $110 - ($12 + $36 + $18) = $44. Total incremental profit = Incremental profit per unit * Number of units = $44 * 7,500 = $330,000. None of the options match this corrected calculation, indicating a mistake in my initial explanation. Re-evaluating the provided options and the calculation process: The correct calculation for the effect on operating income is to subtract the total variable costs from the total revenue from the special order. Total revenue from the special order is $110 * 7,500 = $825,000. Total variable costs are ($12 + $36 + $18) * 7,500 = $66 * 7,500 = $495,000. Thus, the effect on operating income is $825,000 - $495,000 = $330,000. Given the options provided, it seems there was an error in my explanation and calculation. The correct approach to determine the effect on operating income involves calculating the incremental contribution margin (selling price minus variable costs) and then multiplying by the number of units in the special order. However, the options provided (A $249,000 increase, B $429,000 increase, C $495,000 increase, D $75,000 decrease) do not directly match the recalculated increase in operating income. Given the error in the recalculated figure and the options provided, the initial task is to correctly match the calculation with the provided options, considering only variable costs and the special order's selling price. The correct calculation should focus on the incremental effect of accepting the special order on operating income, considering the contribution margin per unit for the special order units.

If a wholesaler offered to buy 4,500 units for $100 each, the effect of the special order on income would be a
A)$450,000 increase.
B)$45,000 increase.
C)$153,000 increase.
D)$90,000 decrease.

Accepted Answer

The special order's effect on income can be calculated by considering the incremental revenue and incremental costs. The incremental revenue from selling 4,500 units at $100 each is $450,000 (4,500 units * $100/unit). The incremental costs include variable costs but not fixed costs, as fixed costs do not change with the special order (assuming capacity to produce additional units without incurring extra fixed costs). The variable costs per unit are the sum of direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead, which total $66 ($12 + $36 + $18). Therefore, the total variable cost for the special order is $297,000 (4,500 units * $66/unit). The increase in income is the incremental revenue minus the incremental costs, which is $153,000 ($450,000 - $297,000).

Assuming that sufficient unused production capacity exists to produce the order and no regular customers will be affected by the order, how much additional profit (loss) will be generated by accepting the special order?
A)$134,750 profit
B)$19,250 profit
C)$84,000 loss
D)$16,500 loss

Accepted Answer

The additional profit can be calculated by subtracting the variable costs from the special price and then multiplying by the number of units. Variable costs include direct materials ($24), direct labor ($8), and variable factory overhead ($10), totaling $42 per unit. The special price is $49 per unit. The difference is $7 per unit. For 2,750 units, the additional profit is 2,750 units * $7/unit = $19,250. Fixed costs are not considered as they do not change with the production of additional units for the special order.
