Ovation Company has a single product called a bit. The company normally produces and sells 69,500 Bits each year at a selling price of $49 per unit. The company's unit costs at this level of activity are given below. Direct materiale Direct labour Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead Variable selling expenses Fixed selling expenses Total cost per unit 59.90 8.10 4.20 3.00 ($200,800 total) 7.20 3.60 $250,560 total) $36.00 A number of questions relating to the production and sale of Bits follow. Each question is independent Required: 1. Assume that Ovation Company has sufficient capacity to produce 104,400 Bits each year without any increase in fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The company could increase its sales by 25% above the current 69,600 units each year if it were willing to increase the fixed selling expenses by $111,000. a. Calculate the incremental net operating income. Incremental operating income b. Would the increased fixed selling expenses be justified? Yes No 2. Assume again that Ovation Company has sufficient capacity to produce 104.400 Bits each year. A customer in a foreign market wants to purchase 17.400 Bits. Import duties on the Bits would be $1.70 per unit, and costs for permits and licences would be 57.830 Both import duties and permits and licenses will be paid by Ovation. The only selling costs that would be associated with the order are $3.60 per unit shipping cost. Compute the per unit break even price on this order. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Break-even price per unit 3. The company has 1,000 Bits on hand that have some irregularities and are therefore considered to be "seconds. Due to the Irregularities, it will be impossible to sell these units at the normal price through regular distribution channels. What unit cost figure is relevant for setting a minimum selling price? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Rolevant unit cost 4. Due to a strike in its supplier's plant, Ovation Company is unable to purchase more material for the production of Bits. The strikes expected to last for two months Ovation Company has enough material on hand to operate at 30% of normal levels for the two month period. As an alternative, Ovation could close its plant down entirely for the two months. If the plant were closed, fed manufacturing overhead costs would continue at 60% of their normal level during the two-month period and the fixed selling expenses would be reduced by 20% What would be the impact on profits of closing the plant for the two month period? (Input the amount as a positive value. Do not round your intermediate calculations.) of cloning the plant 5. An outside manufacturer has offered to produce Bits and ship them directly to Ovation's customers. If Ovation Company accepts this offer the facilities that it uses to produce Bits would be ide; however, fixed manufacturing overhead costs would be reduced by 75%. Since the outside manufacturer would pay for all shipping costs, the variable selling expenses would be only two-thirds of their current amount Compute the unit cost that is relevant for comparison to the price quoted by the outside manufacturer. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
