Required
- Calculate the total cost per unit (A+B) with a sales level of 100,000 units at a sales price of $100 per unit showing each variable cost per unit separately from fixed cost per unit. Don´t forget the sales commission.
- During the year a customer made a special order offering $82,000 for 1,000 industrial drills. The drills would be manufactured in addition to the 100,000 units sold and the company has spare capacity to complete the order. The Company would pay the regular sales commission rate of 10% of sales based on the special order price on the 1,000 drills. Should the company accept the special order?
- A supplier offered to manufacture the year´s supply of 100,000 plastic housings for $15 each. Assume that Company would avoid the relevant costs of making and $350,000 of the fixed costs assigned to housings if it purchases rather than makes the plastic housings. Also, assume that it cannot use any of the idle capacity resulting from outsourcing the housings. Should the Company purchase or continue to make the housing?
- If the company could rent the space used to make the plastic housings for $200,000 for the period, would this change your decision to make or buy the plastic housings in requirement 3? Explain.
