Charleston Affair currently has a piece of equipment that is no longer needed. The current book value of the piece of the equipment is $12,000. The company has the option to lease the equipment for the next three years for $5,500 each year, or sell the equipment for $16,000. If leased, the equipment would have no residual value at the end of the lease. The company expects that maintenance and other expenses during the lease would total $2,000. If sold, Charleston Affair would pay a 5% commission. Prepare a differential analysis to determine if the company should sell (Alternative 1) or lease (Alternative 2) the equipment. Sell (Alt. 1) or Lease (Alt. 2) Sell (Alt. 1) Lease (Alt. 2) on Income (Alt. 2) Revenues $16,000 $16,500 $ 500 Costs (800) (2,000) (1,200) Income (loss) $15,200 $14,500 $ (700) Charleston Affair should sell the asset. 1

2 Chapter 24 2. Wake Coffee Co. has a piece of equipment no longer needed for production. The company purchased the equipment for $75,000 and has accumulated depreciation of $10,000 related to the equipment. Wake Coffee Co. has determined it can either lease the equipment for the next ten years, for yearly revenues of $9,000, or sell the equipment for $70,000. If leased, the company expects to incur repairs and other expenses of $22,000 over the life of the lease. The equipment would also have a $3,500 salvage value. If sold, the broker requires a 4% broker commission. Prepare a differential analysis to determine if the company should sell (Alternative 1) or lease (Alternative 2) the equipment. Sell (Alt. 1) or Lease (Alt. 2) on Sell (Alt. 1) Lease (Alt. 2) Income (Alt. 2) Revenues $70,000 $ 93,500 $ 23,500 Costs (2,800) (22,000) (19,200) Income (loss) $67,200 $ 71,500 $ 4,300 Revenues if leased = $90,000 + $3,500 Wake Coffee Co. should lease the asset. 3. Blair Designs is considering two alternatives for an outdated piece of machinery: leasing the machinery for five years, which would produce revenue of $8,000 year or selling the machinery for $38,000. The asset has a current book value of $25,000. If leased, the company expects to incur $7,000 of expenses for maintenance and taxes, and the equipment will have a $4,000 salvage value. If sold, the broker charges a 5% commission fee. Prepare a differential analysis to determine if the company should sell (Alternative 1) or lease (Alternative 2) the machinery. Sell (Alt. 1) or Lease (Alt. 2) on Sell (Alt. 1) Lease (Alt. 2) Income (Alt. 2) Revenues $38,000 $44,000 $ 6,000 Costs (1,900) (7,000) (5,100) Income (loss) $36,100 $37,000 $ 900 Blair Designs should lease the asset.

and Product Pricing 3 Strategy: When determining whether to sell or lease an asset, first determine the revenues in each situation. If sold, the revenue is the selling price, and if leased, the revenue is the lease revenue and the salvage value, if any. Next determine the costs, which usually include a sales commission when selling and cost of upkeep when leasing. Determine the differential effect on income. If positive, the company should proceed with Alternative 2. 4. Product B at Charleston Affair generates sales of $59,000 for 10,000 units. Each unit has variable costs of $4.50 apiece and total fixed costs of $18,000. Prepare a differential analysis to determine if Product B should be continued (Alternative 1) or discontinued (Alternative 2) if the fixed costs are unaffected by the decision. Continue (Alt. 1) or Discontinue (Alt. 2) Product B Continue (Alt. 1) Discontinue (Alt. 2) on Income (Alt. 2) Revenues $ 59,000 $ 0 $(59,000) Costs: Variable $(45,000) $ 0 $ 45,000 Fixed (18,000) (18,000) 0 Total costs $(63,000) $(18,000) $ 45,000 Income (loss) $ (4,000) $(18,000) $(14,000) Product B should be continued because the income generated from the product will cover some of fixed costs.

4 Chapter 24 5. Wake Coffee Co. incurs a loss from operations for the Standard Coffee line. Sales revenues for the line total $72,000, while incurring variable costs of goods sold of $19,500, variable selling expenses of $17,400, and fixed costs of $49,000. Prepare a differential analysis to determine if the Standard Coffee line should be continued (Alternative 1) or discontinued (Alternative 2). Assume the company will incur the fixed costs regardless of the decision. Continue (Alt. 1) or Discontinue (Alt. 2) Standard Coffee Continue (Alt. 1) Discontinue (Alt. 2) on Income (Alt. 2) Revenues $ 72,000 $ 0 $(72,000) Costs: Variable $(36,900) $ 0 $ 36,900 Fixed (49,000) (49,000) 0 Total costs $(85,900) $(49,000) $ 36,900 Income (loss) $(13,900) $(49,000) $(35,100) The Standard Coffee Line should be continued. 6. Product BW of Blair Designs generates sales revenue of $40,000. The product incurs variable costs of goods sold of $22,000, fixed selling costs of $22,000, and fixed factory overhead of $21,000. Use a differential analysis to determine if Product BW should be continued (Alternative 1) or discontinued (Alternative 2). Assume that the company will incur the fixed factory overhead regardless of the decision. Continue (Alt. 1) or Discontinue (Alt. 2) Product BW on Continue (Alt. 1) Discontinue (Alt. 2) Income (Alt. 2) Revenues $ 40,000 $ 0 $(40,000) Costs: Variable $(22,000) $ 0 $ 22,000 Fixed (43,000) (21,000) 22,000 Total costs $(65,000) $(21,000) $ 44,000 Income (loss) $(25,000) $(21,000) $ 4,000 Product BW should be discontinued.

and Product Pricing 5 Strategy: If the company continues the product line, the revenues and costs will be equal to the amounts expected. However, if the company discontinues the product line, no revenue will be earned and no variable costs will be incurred. However, the fixed costs may remain since the company will incur the costs regardless of the number of products finished. Determine the differential effect on income. If positive, the company should decide Alternative 2. 7. Charleston Affair currently makes the King Component, incurring variable costs of $18 per unit and fixed costs of $4 per unit. The company has the option to purchase the component for $20 per unit. Prepare a differential analysis to determine if the company should make (Alternative 1) or buy (Alternative 2) the King Component. Assume that the fixed costs will be incurred in each situation. Make (Alt. 1) or Buy (Alt. 2) King Component Make (Alt. 1) Buy (Alt. 2) on Income (Alt. 2) Unit costs: Purchase price $ 0 $(20) $(20) Variable costs (18) 0 18 Fixed costs (4) (4) 0 Income (loss) $(22) $(24) $ (2) Charleston Affair should make the King Component.

6 Chapter 24 8. The Wake Coffee Co. currently produces the Sealable Coffee Bag and incurs the following costs per unit: direct materials, $2; direct labor, $3; variable factory overhead, $2.50; and fixed factory overhead, $3.50. The company also has the option to purchase the product for $9.50 per unit. The seller charges a $1.25 freight fee per unit. Prepare a differential analysis to determine if Wake Coffee Co. should make (Alternative 1) or buy (Alternative 2) the product, assuming that the fixed costs will be incurred regardless of the decision. Make (Alt. 1) or Buy (Alt. 2) Sealable Coffee Bag Make (Alt. 1) Buy (Alt. 2) on Income (Alt. 2) Unit costs: Purchase price $ 0 $ (5.75) $(5.75) Freight fee 0 (1.25) (1.25) Variable costs (7.50) 0 7.50 Fixed costs (3.50) (3.50) 0 Income (loss) $(11.00) $(10.50) $ 0.50 Wake Coffee Co. should buy the Sealable Coffee Bag. 9. Blair Designs currently produces a Subcomponent, incurring variable direct costs of $4.25 per unit, variable factory overhead of $2.25 per unit, and fixed factory overhead of $5.00 per unit. The company could also buy the Subcomponent for $7.50 from an outside provider, which would also charge a freight fee of $2.00 per unit. Prepare a differential analysis to determine if Blair Designs should make (Alternative 1) or buy (Alternative 2) the Subcomponent, assuming that fixed factory overhead will be incurred if the product is made or sold. Make (Alt. 1) or Buy (Alt. 2) Subcomponent Make (Alt. 1) Buy (Alt. 2) on Income (Alt. 2) Unit costs: Purchase price $ 0 $ (7.50) $(7.50) Freight fee 0 (2.00) (2.00) Variable costs (6.50) 0 6.50 Fixed costs (5.00) (5.00) 0 Income (loss) $(11.50) $(14.50) $(3.00) Blair Designs should make the Subcomponent.

and Product Pricing 7 Strategy: First, determine the costs associated with making the product, which usually include the variable and fixed costs. Next, determine the costs associated with buying the product, which include the costs to acquire the good (purchase price, freight fees, etc.), and fixed costs since the company will incur the costs regardless of the products produced. Then, determine the differential effect on income, and if positive, the company should proceed with Alternative 2. 10. Charleston Affair is considering replacing an outdated piece of machinery. Use the information below for the old piece of machinery and new machinery to prepare a differential analysis to determine if Charleston Affair should continue (Alternative 1) or replace (Alternative 2) the old machine.

Strategy: First, determine the revenues for each alternative. If continued to use the piece of equipment, any residual value would be considered revenue. If replaced, the proceeds from the sale and any residual value of the new equipment would be considered revenue. Next, determine the costs, which include the variable manufacturing costs for both situations, or the costs to produce goods with the equipment. The cost to purchase the new equipment would be considered a cost if replaced. Then, determine the differential effect on income. If positive, the company should proceed with Alternative 2.

and Product Pricing 13 19. Charleston Affair uses the product cost concept to price its goods. The company plans to release a new product in the upcoming month. Use the information shown below to determine: a. Product cost per unit $3.50 = $49,000/14,000 b. Desired profit $12,000 = $120,000 10% c. Markup percentage 90% = ($12,000 + $32,100)/$49,000 d. Markup per unit $3.15 = 90% $3.50 e. Normal selling price per unit $6.65 = $3.50 + $3.15 Total product cost $49,000 Total selling and administrative expenses $32,100 Total assets $120,000 Estimated units produced and sold 14,000 Desired rate of return on assets 10%

14 Chapter 24 20. Wake Coffee Co. uses the product cost concept to price its goods. With the information shown, calculate each of the following for a new good: a. Product cost per unit $4.00 = $24,800/6,200 b. Desired profit $11,400 = $95,000 12% c. Markup percentage (round to the nearest percentage) 87% = ($10,200 + $11,400)/$24,800 d. Markup per unit $3.48 = 87% $4.00 e. Normal selling price per unit $7.48 = $3.48 + $4.00 Total product cost $24,800 Total selling and administrative expenses $10,200 Total assets $95,000 Estimated units produced and sold 6,200 Desired rate of return on assets 12% 21. Blair Designs plans the release of a new product in the upcoming year. Use the product cost concept and the information below to determine the following: a. Product cost per unit $1.28= $32,000/25,000 b. Desired profit $21,000 = $140,000 15% c. Markup percentage (round to the nearest percentage) 91%= ($21,000 + $8,000)/$32,000 d. Markup per unit (round to the nearest cent) $1.16 = 91% $1.28 e. Normal selling price per unit $2.44 = $1.28 + $1.16 Total product cost $32,000 Total selling and administrative expenses $8,000 Total assets $140,000 Estimated units produced and sold 25,000 Desired rate of return on assets 15%

and Product Pricing 15 Strategy: After estimating the costs, determine the product cost per unit, which is equal to the total product costs divided by the estimated number of units produced and sold. Next, determine the markup percentage, which is the sum of the desired profit and selling and administrative expenses divided by the total product cost, similar to the break-even calculation with a target profit. The desired profit is the amount of income the company expects to earn on its assets, calculated by multiplying the total assets by the desired rate of return. The markup per unit is calculated by multiplying the markup percentage by the product cost per unit. Add the markup and product costs per unit to determine the normal selling price per unit. 22. Charleston Affair currently sells 1,000 units of Product Z for $64.50 and expects the price to rise by 12% in the upcoming year. The balance sheet shows total assets of $200,000, and management has set a required rate of return of 15% on the assets. Use the target costing method to determine the total target cost the company should achieve. Selling price= $72.24 = $64.50 1.12 Desired profit = $30,000 = $200,000 15% Target cost = $42,240 = ($72.24 1,000 units) $30,000 23. Wake Coffee Co. expects for the price of Standard Coffee to be $12 per pound in 2016 and sell 2,000 pounds. The company owns $52,000 in assets, with a required rate of return on the assets of 12%. Determine the total target cost the company should achieve using the target costing method. Desired profit = $6,240 = $52,000 12% Target cost = $17,760 = ($12 2,000 units) $6,240 24. Blair Designs has a desired profit of $40 per unit of Product T in the upcoming year. Product T currently sells for $72 a unit, but the price is expected to increase 20% in the upcoming year. Use target costing to determine the target cost per unit the company should achieve. Selling price = $86.40 = $72 1.20 Target cost = $46.40 = $86.40 $40 Strategy: The target costing method determines the maximum costs the company should incur if the product sells at a specified selling price and the company would like to earn a desired profit. The target cost is equal to the estimated selling price less the desired profit.

16 Chapter 24 25. All products at Charleston Affair must pass through a sealing treatment. When operating at full capacity, the treatment is considered a production bottleneck. Use the information below to determine the most profitable product when using bottleneck resources. Product X Product Y Product Z Unit selling price $ 9 $ 12 $ 18 Unit variable cost 2 6 10 Unit contribution margin $ 7 $ 6 $ 8 Sealing treatment hours per unit 0.50 0.75 0.80 Unit contribution margin per production bottleneck hour $ 14 $ 8 $ 10 Product X is the most profitable product when using bottleneck resources. 26.

When operating at full capacity at Blair Designs, the stitching process is considered to be a production bottleneck. Use the information below to determine which product is most profitable when using bottleneck resources. Round answers to the nearest cent. Solid Patterned Print Unit selling price $ 150 $ 210 $ 240 Unit variable cost 80 95 100 Unit contribution margin $ 70 $ 115 $ 140 Stitching process hours per unit 1.00 1.70 1.80 Unit contribution margin per production bottleneck hour $70.00 $67.65 $77.78 The Print product would be the most profitable when using bottleneck resources. Strategy: If a bottleneck exists, the company must determine which product will be most profitable for the amount of time it must spend in the production bottleneck. The unit contribution margin per production bottleneck hour is calculated by dividing the unit contribution margin by the time each unit spends in the production bottleneck.
