| Special Order Decision | ||
| Lancaster Lighting Corp. produces a model of outdoor floodlight that normally sells for $15 per light. Sales per year are 500,000 units, and the production line | ||
| is operating at 70% capacity. Lancaster has been presented with a special one-time export order for 40,000 lights at $11 per light. The $11 price is below | ||
| the current total cost of production. Listed below are the costs based on the production of 500,000 units. There would be no increase in fixed costs by accepting | ||
| this order, but there would be a one-time crating expense of $5,000. The special order would have no effect on the existing business because it is being exported | ||
| to a market that Lancaster does not normally serve. Prepare an incremental analysis and determine the effect of accepting the special order. Should Lancaster | ||
| accept this order? | ||
| Costs at 500,000 units of production: | ||
| Direct labor | 2,500,000 | |
| Direct materials | 1,750,000 | |
| Variable manufacturing overhead | 625,000 | |
| Fixed manufacturing overhead | 1,250,000 | |
| Total manufacturing cost | 6,125,000 | |
| ANALYSIS: |
| Make-Versus-Buy Decision | |||
| Sports Equipment Unlimited makes and sells soccer goals and has sales of 20,000 units per year. The plant is operating at full capacity. | |||
| A potential supplier has approached Sports Equipment Unlimited and offered to supply the soccer goals at a finished cost of $31.50 | |||
| per goal. If the company buys rather than manufactures, they will be able to eliminate 60% of fixed manufacturing costs by leasing | |||
| unused space. The current costs are as follows: | |||
| Per Unit | |||
| Direct labor | 200,000 | 10.00 | |
| Direct materials | 247,000 | 12.35 | |
| Variable manufacturing overhead | 60,000 | 3.00 | |
| Fixed manufacturing overhead | 170,000 | 8.50 | |
| Total manufacturing cost | 677,000 | 33.85 | |
| INSTRUCTIONS: | |||
| Prepare an incremental analysis for the decisions to make or buy the soccer goals. | |||
| Show the cost of continuing to make and to buy the goals. Show the effect on net | |||
| income if they buy. Should Sports Equipment Unlimited buy the goals? |
