Q.3 Pederson Enterprises produces giant stuffed bears. Each bear consists of $12 of variable costs and $9 of fixed costs and sells for $45. A wholesaler offers to buy 8,000 units at $14 each, of which Pederson has the capacity to produce. Pederson will incur extra shipping costs of $1 per bear. Instructions

Determine the incremental income or loss that Pederson Enterprises would realize by accepting the special order

Incremental revenue (8,000 × $14) $112,000

Incremental variable costs ($12 × 8,000) (96,000)

Incremental shipping costs ($1× 8,000) (8,000)

Incremental profit if special order accepted $ 8,000

Q.4 Notson, Inc. produces several models of clocks. An outside supplier has offered to produce the commercial clocks for Notson for $420 each. Notson needs 1,200 clocks annually. Notson has provided the following unit costs for its commercial clocks:

Direct materials $100

Direct labor 140

Variable overhead 80

Fixed overhead (40% avoidable) 150

Instructions

Prepare an incremental analysis which shows the effect of the make-or-buy decision.

Incremental Analysis Incremental Effect

Cost to buy (1,200 × $420) $(504,000)

Cost savings:

Savings of DM $100 × 1,200 = $120,000

Savings of DL $140 × 1,200 = 168,000

Savings of VOH $80 × 1,200 = 96,000

Savings of FOH 40% × $150 × 1,200 = 72,000

Total cost savings + 456,000

Incremental net cost to buy $ (48,000)

Q.5 Harris Timber Corporation uses a machine that removes the bark from cut timber. The machine is unreliable and results in a significant amount of downtime and excessive labor costs. The management is considering replacing the machine with a more efficient one which will minimize downtime and excessive labor costs. Data are presented below for the two machines:

Old Machine New Machine

Original purchase cost $340,000 $370,000

Accumulated depreciation 230,000 —

Estimated life 5 years 5 years

It is estimated that the new machine will produce annual cost savings of $85,000. The old machine can be sold to a scrap dealer for $8,000. Both machines will have a salvage value of zero if operated for the remainder of their useful lives.

Instructions

Determine whether the company should purchase the new machine.

Retain Replace Net Income

Equipment Equipment Increase/(Decrease)

Cost savings $ -0- $425,000 (A) $425,000

New machine cost -0- (370,000) (370,000)

Proceeds from sale of old machine $ -0- 8,000 8,000

Net incremental net income $ -0- $ 63,000 $ 63,000

(A) $85,000 × 5 = $425,000.

The company should purchase the new machine because there will be an increase in net income of $63,000.
