answer in text form please (without image)
E26-6 Top Gear Bikes could sell its bicycles to retailers either assembled or unassembled. The
cost of an unassembled bike is as follows.
Direct materials
Direct labor
Variable overhead (70% of direct labor)
Fixed overhead (30% of direct labor)
Manufacturing cost per unit
$150
70
49
21
$290
The unassembled bikes are sold to retailers at $400 each.
Top Gear currently has unused productive capacity that is expected to continue indefinitely;
management has concluded that some of this capacity can be used to assemble the bikes and sell
them at $450 each. Assembling the bikes will increase direct materials by $5 per bike, and direct
labor by $20 per bike. Additional variable overhead will be incurred at the normal rates, but
there will be no additional fixed overhead as a result of assembling the bikes.
Instructions
(a) Prepare an incremental analysis for the sell-or-process-further decision.
(b) Should Top Gear sell or process further? Why or why not?
