Topic 5: Short Term Decision Making

Exercise 1

Ramos Company is currently producing 16,000 units per month, which is 80% of its
production capacity. Variable manufacturing costs are currently $11.00 per unit. Fixed
manufacturing costs are $48,000 per month. Ramos pays a 9% sales commission to its
sales people, has $30,000 in fixed administrative expenses per month, and is averaging
$320,000 in sales per month.
A special order received from a foreign company would enable Ramos Company to
operate at 100% capacity. The foreign company offered to pay 75% of Ramos’s current
selling price per unit. If the order is accepted, Ramos will have to spend an extra $2.00
per unit to package the product for overseas shipping. Also, Ramos Company would
need to lease a new stamping machine to imprint the foreign company’s logo on the
product, at a monthly cost of $2,500. The special order would require a sales
commission of $3,000.

Required:
(a) Compute the number of units involved in the special order and the foreign
company’s offered price per unit.
4000 15
(b) What is the manufacturing cost of producing one unit of Ramos’s product for
regular customers?
14
(c) Prepare an incremental analysis of the special order. Should management
accept the order?
Items RM
Sales increased 60,000
(-) Variable MOC (44,000)
(-) Packaging (8,000)
(-) Machine (2,500)
(-) Sales commission (3,000)
Net Income 2,500

(d) What is the lowest price that Ramos could accept for the special order to earn
net income of $1.20 per unit?

Exercise 2

The management of Oswego Manufacturing Company is trying to decide whether to


continue manufacturing a part or to buy it from an outside supplier. The part, called
WISCO, is a component of the company’s finished product. The following information
was collected from the accounting records and production data for the year ending
December 31, 2013.

1. 7,000 units of WISCO were produced in the Machining Department.


2. Variable manufacturing costs applicable to the production of each WISCO unit
were: direct materials $4.75, direct labor $4.80, indirect labor $0.45, utilities $0.35.
3. Fixed manufacturing costs applicable to the production of WISCO were:

Cost Item Direct Allocated


Depreciation $1,600 $900
Property taxes $400 $200
Insurance $900 $600
$2,900 $1,700
All variable manufacturing and direct fixed costs will be eliminated if WISCO is
purchased. Allocated costs will have to be absorbed by other production
departments.
4. The lowest quotation for 7,000 WISCO units from a supplier is $77,000.
5. If WISCO units are purchased, freight and inspection costs would be $0.30 per
unit, and receiving costs totaling $750 per year would be incurred by the Machining
Department.

Required:
(a) Prepare an incremental analysis for WISCO. Your analysis should have columns
for (1) Make WISCO, (2) Buy WISCO, and (3) Net Income Increase/Decrease.
Item Make Buy
Variable DM 4.75
DL 4.8
IDL 0.45
UTILITIES 0.35
FIXED OH 1,700
PURCHASE PRICE 11
TRANS 0.30
RECEIVING 750
TOTAL 1710.35 761.3

(b) Based on your analysis, what decision should management make?

(c) Would the decision be different if Oswego Company has the opportunity to
produce $5,000 of net income with the facilities currently being used to
manufacture WISCO? Show computations.
Yes, the company will make WISCO by itself.
