The company has always produced all of the necessary parts for its engines, including all of the carburetors. An outside supplier has offered to sell one type of carburetor to Troy Engines, Ltd., for a cost of $35 per unit. To evaluate this offer, Troy Engines, Ltd., has gathered the following information relating to its own cost of producing the carburetor internally: Required: 1. Assuming that the company has no alternative use for the facilities that are now being used to produce the carburetors, should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted? Show all computations. Based on the above calculations, the company should reject the offer. Manufacturing the carburetors is $6 per unit less expensive which calculates to $90,000 less expensive over the period. 2. Suppose that if the carburetors were purchased, Troy Engines, LTD., could use the freed capacity to launch a new product. The segment margin of the new product would be $150,000 per year. Should Troy Engines, Ltd., accept the offer to buy the carburetors for $35 per unit? Show all computations. Because the opportunity cost raises the expense to make the carburetors by $150,000, the firm should accept the offer and utilize the freed up capacity to launch the new product line. 12-12 Utilization of a Constrained Resource Benoit Company produces three products, A, B, and C. Data concerning the three products follow (per unit). Demand for the company’s products is very strong,
The most suitable costing method Yeltin should adopt is the practical capacity in order to remove the factor of uncertain budgeted sales figure. For this approach and the practical capacity of 65000-22000 units, then the revised overhead costs come out to be $30. With the inclusion of material and labor costs, the cost of the cartridge stand at $52 and the additional royalty expense of $10 raises the overall per unit cost to $62. The selling price of the cartridge is fixed at $150. With this selling price, the gross margin is equal to $88. The gross margin percentage is equal to 59%. In comparison to the budgeted volume, the gross margin has increased by 14%. See below

ML had developed a policy of selling manual machines and renting automatic machines. Manual machines did not cost much, did not require service, and could be modified to attach different fasteners inexpensively. Automatic machines were rented on an annual basis because they would have been more expensive to sell and it provided annual income to ML. However, about 700 of the rented machines were returned each year. During the time that machines were in inventory, ML would modify the machines to attach different fasteners. This was expensive with an average cost per modification of $2000. If all 700 machines were modified during a given year this would have cost $1.4 million per year. It was also industry practice to provide preventative maintenance and

Since 2008, Bergerac had been exploring the opportunity to begin its own production of cartridge components. Plastic suppliers like GenieTech and Elsinore faced difficulties in responding to demand spikes, leading to production delays. Such supplier unreliability made it challenging for Bergerac to optimize its cartridge production. Thus, the company had to carry more inventory of parts and finished goods than Wyckoff could have liked. The obvious appeal to fully control the supply of plastic lead to a strategy, the company has to decide whether to buy or build this capability. GenieTech owner was interested in retirement and was willing to sell the company for a purchase price of $5.75 million. GenieTech has 8 molding presses each could produce 5 cartridges per cycle with a total capacity of 10,782,720 cartridges per year with 5 days production in a week. The other alternative is to build a unit with 4 molding presses which are more efficient than the presses at GenieTech. The total capacity of the unit will be 6,097,371cartridges per year with 5 days production in a week. It is required to predict the best long term decision among the buy and build options.
