Problem 1

The Parker Company has two divisions - North and South. The divisions have the following
revenues and expenses:
North South
Sales ₱720,000 ₱350,000
Variable costs 370,000 240,000
Direct fixed costs 130,000 80,000
Allocated common corporate costs 120,000 50,000
Operating income /(loss) ₱ 100,000 ₱(20,000)
*Direct fixed costs is avoidable if a division is closed.
Required:
a. Should the company discontinue division South?
b. How much is the Company's operating income if division South was discontinued?
Problem 2
A manufacturing company’s branch has sold 15,000 units during the year and has the following
information:
Revenues ₱120,000
Variable costs 45,000
Traceable fixed costs 89,000
Allocated corporate overhead 24,000
If the brach is closed, 70% of the traceable fixed cost will be avoided. In addition, the company
will incur one-time closure costs of ₱6,800.
Required:
a. Should the center be closed? Show calculations to support your answer.
b. Compute the shutdown point in units and in pesos.
Problem 3
Riverside Company manufactures G and H in a joint process. The joint costs amount to ₱80,000
per batch of finished goods. Each batch yields 20,000 liters, of which 40% are G and 60% are H.
The selling price of G is ₱8.75 per liter, and the selling price of H is ₱15.00 per liter.

Riverside has discovered a new process by which the products can further be developed. G can
be refined into Product GG, which has a sales price of ₱12 per liter while H can be refined into
product HH, which has a sales price of ₱20. This additional processing would increase costs
per liter by ₱2.10 for G and ₱5.85 for H. Assuming there are no other changes in costs, should
the company use the new process for both products?
Problem 4
Lee Company has met all production requirements for the current month and has an opportunity
to manufacture additional units with its excess capacity. Unit selling prices and unit costs for
three product lines follow.
Plain Regular Super
Selling price ₱40 ₱55 ₱65
Direct material 12 16 22
Direct labor 10 15 20
Variable overhead 8 12 16
Fixed overhead 6 7 8
Direct labor hours 0.5 0.75 1
Variable overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor dollars, whereas fixed overhead is
applied on the basis of machine hours. There is sufficient demand for the additional
manufacture of all products.
Required:
a. If Lee Company has excess machine capacity and can add more labor as needed (i.e.,
neither machine capacity nor labor is a constraint), which product is the most attractive to
produce?
b. If Lee Company has excess machine capacity but a limited amount of labor time available, in
what order should the products be produced?
c. If Lee Company can produce a maximum of 1,000 units for Plain and 1,000 units for regular
and the company has a total of 2,000 labor hours available for production, how many units of
each product (Plain and Regular) should be produced?
