E1, 2A Bell Company, a manufacturer of audio systems, started its
production in October, 2017. For the preceding 3 years, Bell had been
a retailer of audio systems. After a thorough survey of audio system
markets, Bell decided to turn its retail store into an audio equipment
factory.

audio system usually takes 5 hours to complete. In addition, the rent
on the equipment used to assemble audio systems amount to $4,900
per month. Indirect materials cost $5 per system. A supervisor was
hired to oversee production; her monthly salary is $3,000.
Factory janitorial casts arc $1,300 monthly. Advertising costs for the
audio system will be $9,500 per month. The factory building
depreciation expense is $7,800 per year. Property taxes on the factory
building will be $9,000 per year.

Venus Creations sells window treatments (shades, blinds, and

following information relates to its budgeted operations for the

The controller, Peggy Kingman, is concerned about the residential
product line. She cannot understand why this line is not more
profitable given that the installations of window coverings are less
complex for residential customers. In addition, the residential client
base resides in close proximity to the company office, so travel costs
are not as expensive on a per client visit for residential customers. As
a result, she has decided to take a closer look at the overhead costs
assigned to the two product lines to determine whether a more

2017, the company reported the following operating results while
operating at 75% of plant capacity:
Sales (350,000 units) $4,375,000
Cost of goods sold 2,600,000
Gross profit 1,775,000
Operating expenses 840,000
Net income $ 935,000
Cost of goods sold was 70% variable and 30% fixed; operating
expenses were 80% variable and 20% fixed.
In September, Moonbeam receives a special order for 15,000 toasters
at $7.60 each from Luna Company of Ciudad Juarez. Acceptance of
the order would result in an additional $3,000 of shipping costs but no
increase in fixed costs.
Instructions
a. Prepare an incremental analysis for the special order.
b. Should Moonbeam accept the special order? Why or why not?

Riggs Company purchases sails and produces sailboats. It currently
produces 1,200 sailboats per year, operating at normal capacity,
which is about 80% of full capacity. Riggs purchases sails at $250
each, but the company is considering using the excess capacity to
manufacture the sails instead. The manufacturing cost per sail would
be $100 for direct materials, $80 for direct labor, and $90 for
overhead. The $90 overhead is based on $78,000 of annual fixed
overhead that is allocated using normal capacity.
The president of Riggs has come to you for advice. “It would cost me
$270 to make the sails,” she says, “but only $250 to buy them. Should
I continue buying them, or have I missed something?”
Instructions
a. Prepare a per unit analysis of the differential costs. Briefly explain
whether Riggs should make or buy the sails.
b. If Riggs suddenly finds an opportunity to rent out the unused
capacity of its factory for $77,000 per year, would your answer to part
(a) change? Briefly explain.

Kirk Minerals processes materials extracted from mines. The most
common raw material that it processes results in three joint products:
Spock, Uhura, and Sulu. Each of these products can be sold as is, or

Thompson Industrial Products Inc. (TIPI) is a diversified industrial-
cleaner processing company. The company's Dargan plant produces
two products: a table cleaner and a floor cleaner from a common set
of chemical inputs (CDG). Each week, 900,000 ounces of chemical
input are processed at a cost of $210,000 into 600,000 ounces of floor
cleaner and 300,000 ounces of table cleaner. The floor cleaner has no
market value until it is converted into a polish with the trade name
Floor Shine. The additional processing costs for this conversion
amount to $240,000.
Floor Shine sells at $20 per 30-ounce bottle. The table cleaner can be
sold for $17 per 25-ounce bottle. However, the table cleaner can be
converted into two other products by adding 300,000 ounces of
another compound (TCP) to the 300,000 ounces of table cleaner. This
joint process will yield 300,000 ounces each of table stain remover
(TSR) and table polish (TP). The additional processing costs for this
process amount to $100,000. Both table products can be sold for $14
per 25-ounce bottle.
The company decided not to process the table cleaner into TSR and
TP based on the following analysis.
Instructions
1. Determine if management made the correct decision to
not process the table cleaner further by doing the following.
1. Calculate the company's total weekly gross profit assuming the
table cleaner is not processed further.
2. Calculate the company's total weekly gross profit assuming the
table cleaner is processed further.
(2) Gross profit $186,000
3. Compare the resulting net incomes and comment on
management's decision.

2. using incremental analysis, determine if the table cleaner
should be processed further.

Gutierrez Company makes various electronic products. The company
is divided into a number of autonomous divisions that can either sell
to internal units or sell externally. All divisions are located in
buildings on the same piece of property. The Board Division has
offered the Chip Division $21 per unit to supply it with chips for
40,000 boards. It has been purchasing these chips for $22 per unit
from outside suppliers. The Chip Division receives $22.50 per unit for
sales made to outside customers on this type of chip. The variable cost
of chips sold externally by the Chip Division is $14.50. It estimates
that it will save $4.50 per chip of selling expenses on units sold
internally to the Board Division. The Chip Division has no excess
capacity.
Instructions

Hillsong Inc. manufactures snowsuits. Hillsong is considering
purchasing a new sewing machine at a cost of $2.45 million. Its
existing machine was purchased five years ago at a price of $1.8
million; six months ago, Hillsong spent $55,000 to keep it
operational. The existing sewing machine can be sold today for
$250,000. The new sewing machine would require a one-time,
$85,000 training cost. Operating costs would decrease by the
following amounts for years 1 to 7:
