Minor Electric has received a special one-time order for 1,500 light fixtures (units) at $5 per unit. Minor currently produces a

nd sells 7,500 units at $6.00 each. This level represents 75% of its capacity. Production costs for these units are $4.50 per unit, which includes $3.00 variable cost and $1.50 fixed cost. To produce the special order, a new machine needs to be purchased at a cost of $1,000 with a zero salvage value. Management expects no other changes in costs as a result of the additional production. Should the company accept the special order?

The company ought to accept the special order; this is the right decision.

EXPLANATION

To ascertain whether to accept the proposal, we must assess the profit generated from it. The standard formula to use is profit = revenue – cost

If the new order is taken, the revenue will rise by $5 x 2500 = $12,000.

Conversely, the expenses for the existing production and this new order will remain at $4.5, made up of $1.5 in fixed costs and $3 in variable costs. Hence, fixed costs will escalate by $1,000 to acquire the machine and variable costs will increase by $3 x 2500 = $7,000.

Consequently, the total profit will increase by $4,000, calculated as $12,000 - $1,000 - $7,000.

This assumes that the company utilizes the entire 25% of its capacity (2500 units) even though the special order is for only 1500 units. Thus, the company should proceed with the acceptance of the special order.

The firm ought to approve the special order, as it would result in an extra profit of $4,000 ($12,500 - $7,500 - $1,000) attributed to this special order. This additional profit can be analyzed by isolating the impact of the special order on each cost and revenue of the business. If the order is accepted, sales will increase by $12,500 ($5 x 2500 units), while variable costs will rise by $7,500 ($3 x 2500 units). Finally, fixed costs will go up by $1,000 due to the purchase of the new machine.

Free_Kalibri [3151]

Question not complete

Direct Labour Cost is missing

Direct Labor Cost ----- $50,000.00 $270,000.00

Answer:

a.

Overhead Rate (Cutting Department) = $5.5 per machine hour = $5.5 per machine hour

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = $12.2 per labour hour

b. Total Manufacturing Cost = $644

c. Yes

Explanation:

a. To determine the predetermined overhead rate appropriate for each department.

Given

Cutting Department

The Cutting Department calculates its rate based on machine-hours

Manufacturing Overhead Costs = $264,000

Machine Hours = 48,000

Finishing Department

For the Finishing Department, the rate is calculated based on direct labor-hours.

Manufacturing Overhead Costs = $366,000

Direct Labour Cost = $270,000

Overhead Rate (Cutting Department) = Manufacturing Overhead Cost/Machine Hours

Overhead Rate (Cutting Department) = $264,000/48,000

Overhead Rate (Cutting Department) = $5.5 per machine hour

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = Manufacturing Overhead Cost/Machine Hours

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = $366,000/$270,000

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = 1.36

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = 136% direct labour cost

b.

The Cutting Department's rate is based on machine-hours

Given

Machine hours = 80 machine hours

Overhead Rate = $5.5 per machine hours ------ This was calculated

The Finishing Department's calculations rely on direct labor-hours.

Given

Direct Labour Cost = 150

Overhead Rate = 136% of labor cost ------ This was deduced

Overhead Applied (Cutting Department) = 80 * 5.5

Overhead Applied = 440

Overhead Applied (Finishing Department) = 136% * 150

Overhead Applied = $204

Total Overhead Applied = $440 + $204

Total = $644

c. Yes

If the business utilizes a company-wide overhead rate linked to direct labor cost and if jobs have increased machine hours paired with lower labor costs, they would incur less overhead expenses.

Scilla [3249]

Answer:

Both divisions are showing equal performance with an ROI of 14%.

Explanation:

The financial figures given have been organized as follows:

                                      Consumer ($)            Commercial ($)

Sales revenue                         22,000                    37,000

Divisional income                       3,850                     3,885

Divisional investment                27,500                   27,750

Current liabilities                      1,000                     800

R&D                                          1,000                   1,000

The resulting calculations are as follows:

Divisional ROI = Divisional income / Divisional investment

Consumer division ROI = $3,850 / $27,500 = 0.1400, or 14%

Commercial division ROI = $3,885 / $27,750 = 0.1400, or 14%

This illustrates that investment returns are equal at 14% for both divisions.
