Tool Time manufactures carpenter-grade screwdrivers. The company is trying to decide whether to continue to make the case in which the screwdrivers are sold, or to outsource the case to another company. The direct material and direct labor cost to produce the cases total $2.40 per case. The overhead cost is $1.00 per case which consists of $0.40 in variable overhead that would be eliminated if the cases are bought from the outside supplier. The $0.60 of fixed overhead is based on expected production of 400,000 cases per year and consists of the salary of the case production manager of $80,000 per year, along with the remainder consisting of rent, insurance, and depreciation on equipment that will have no resale value. The manager will be laid off if the cases were bought externally. The outside supplier has offered to supply the cases for $3.40 each. How much will Tool Time save or lose if the cases are bought externally?
Save $0.40 per case
Lose $0.20 per case…
Rough N' Tough (RNT) manufactures outdoors accessories. Management is considering producing the poles for their tents rather than continuing to purchase from their current supplier. The supplier charges $60 per set of poles.The cost accounting team has estimated that RNT would incur the following costs if they were to produce the poles instead: $40 per set for direct materials, $10 per set for direct labor, $7 per set for variable overhead, and $20 per set for fixed overhead application.RNT currently has unused production capacity and manufacturing equipment that could be used to manufacture the poles. RNT has planned to sell 5,000 tents this year.
What would the change in overall cost be for the company if RNT produced the poles rather than purchasing them?

He has watched the process from start to finish and taken detailed notes on what material is used. The easiest material to measure is the wood.

- The Tamarisk manufactures double-sided pens-a pen on one side, a highlighter on the other. As the accounting manager, Shade is responsible for presenting three different versions of the company's income statement to the rest of the management team at year- end. Team members are very familiar with absorption costing, as they have been evaluating gross margin amounts and percentages for years. They are less keen on how fixed-MOH impacts the income statement, so Shade gathers the following current information. The information includes three possible capacity levels for calculating the fixed-MOH rate. Shade also notes there are no price or efficiency variances this period. Any fixed-MOH volume variance is written off to COGS. Theoretical level Practical level Normal level Actual production Sales volume Budgeted fixed-MOH cost Budgeted DM cost Budgeted DL cost Budgeted variable-MOH cost Selling price (a) Theoretical Practical Normal 93,000 units $ 55,800 units Your answer is partially…arrow_forwardDK manufactures three products, W, X and Y. Each product uses the same materials and the same type of direct labour but in different quantities. The company currently uses a cost-plus basis to determine the selling price of its products. This is based on full cost using an overhead absorption rate per direct labour hour. However, the managing director is concerned that the company may be losing sales because of its approach to setting prices. He thinks that a marginal costing approach may be more appropriate, particularly since the workforce is guaranteed a minimum weekly wage and has a three month notice period.arrow_forwardMcClellan Recreation manufactures and sells two models of paddle boards: Starter and Pro. The Starter model is a basic board used for instruction and purchased by novices. The Pro model is made with premium materials and comes with several accessories. The boards are produced to order, and there are no inventories at the end of the year. The cost accounting system at McClellan allocates overhead to products based on direct labor cost. Overhead in year 1, which just ended, was $2,536,800. Data on units sold for year 1 along with the unit sales price and unit direct costs for the two models follow: Sales price per unit Direct materials per unit Direct labor per unit Required: a. Compute product line profits or loss for the Starter model and the Pro model for year 1. b. A study of overhead shows that without the Starter model, overhead would fall to $1,442,000. Assume all other revenues and costs would remain the same for the Pro model in year 2. Compute product line profits for the Pro…arrow_forward
