Question No. 1 5 Marks The following Table contains data for the Block Company for the year just ended. The company makes industrial power drills. The Table shows the costs of the plastic housing separately from the costs of the electrical and mechanical components. Answer each of the following questions independently. A B A+B Electrical and Plastic Industrial Mechanical Housing Drills Components* -----------------------Amounts in $----------------------10,000,000 Description Sales: 100,000, units at $100 Variable costs: Direct materials Direct Labor Variable factory overheads Other variable costs Sales commission, at 10% of sales Total variable costs Contribution margin Total fixed costs Operating income 4,400,000 400,000 100,000 100,000 1,000,000 6,000,000 500,000 300,000 200,000 1,000,000 2,200,000 480,000 4,900,000 700,000 300,000 100,000 1,000,000 7,000,000 3,000,000 2,700,000 300,000 *Not including the costs of plastic housing (column B). 1. During the year, a prospective customer in an unrelated market offered $82,000 for 1,000 drills. The drills would be manufactured in addition to the 100,000 units sold. Block Company would pay the regular sales commission rate on the 1,000 drills. The president rejected the order because “it was below our costs of $97 per unit.” What would operating income have been if Block Company had accepted the order? 2. A supplier offered to manufacture the year’s supply of 100,000 plastic housings for $12.00 each. What would be the effect on operating income if the Block Company purchased rather than made the housings? Assume that Block Company would avoid $350,000 of the fixed costs assigned to housings if it purchases the housings. 3. Suppose that Block Company could purchase the housings for $13.00 each and use the vacated space for the manufacture of a deluxe version of its drill. Assume that it could make 20,000 deluxe units (and sell them for $130 each in addition to the sales of the 100,000 regular units) at a unit variable cost of $90, exclusive of housings and exclusive of the 10% sales commission. The company could also purchase the 20,000 extra plastic housings for $13.00 each. All the fixed costs pertaining to the plastic housings would continue because these costs relate primarily to the manufacturing facilities used. What would operating income have been if Block had bought the housings and made and sold the deluxe units?

The machines are rented from the manufacturer. In addition, Vendmart must rent the space occupied by its machines. The following expense and revenue relationships pertain to a contemplated expansion program of 80 machines. Fixed monthly expenses follow: Machine Rental: 80 machines @ $22.10 Space rental: 80 locations @ $20.00 Part-time wages to service the additional 80 machines Other fixed costs Total monthly fixed cost $1,768 $1,600 $500 $132 $4,000 Other data follow: Selling price Cost of Snack Contribution Margin Per Unit (Snack) $ 1.00 $ 0.68 $0.32 Per $100 of Sales 100% 68% 32% These questions relate to the given data unless otherwise noted. Consider each question independently. 1. What is the monthly break-even point in number of units (snacks)? In dollar sales? 2. If 45,000 units were sold, what would be the company’s net income? 3. If the space rental cost was doubled, what would be the monthly break-even point in number of units? In dollar sales? 4. Refer to the original data. If, in addition to the fixed space rent, Vendmart Food Services Company paid the vending machine manufacturer $.07 per unit sold, what would be the monthly breakeven point in number of units? In dollar sales? 5. Refer to the original data. If, in addition to the fixed rent, Vendmart paid the machine manufacturer $.11 for each unit sold in excess of the break-even point, what would the new net income be if 45,000 units were sold?

Suppose one of the company’s plants processes beef cattle into various products. For simplicity, assume that there are only three products: steak, hamburger, and hides, and that the average steer costs $700. The three products emerge from a process that costs $100 per steer to run, and output from one steer can be sold for the following net amounts: Steak (100 pounds) $ 400 Hamburger (500 pounds) Hide (120 pounds) Total 600 100 $ 1,100 Assume that each of these three products can be sold immediately or processed further in another ConAgra plant. The steak can be the main course in frozen dinners sold under the Healthy Choice label. The vegetables and desserts in the 400 dinners produced from the 100 pounds of steak would cost $110, and production, sales, and other costs for the 400 meals would total $330. Each meal would be sold wholesale for $2.10. The hamburger could be made into frozen Salisbury steak patties sold under the Armour label. The only additional cost would be a $200 processing cost for the 500 pounds of hamburger. Frozen Salisbury steaks sell wholesale for $1.70 per pound. The hide can be sold before or after tanning. The cost of tanning one hide is $80, and a tanned hide can be sold for $170. Required: 1. Compute the total profit if all three products are sold at the split-off point. 2. Compute the total profit if all three products are processed further before being sold. 3. Which products should be sold at the split-off point? Which should be processed further? 4. Compute the total profit if your plan in number 3 is followed.

The owner is eager to prepare a budget and is especially concerned with her cash position. The company will have to borrow in order to finance purchases made in preparation for high expected sales during the busy last quarter of the year. When the company needs cash, borrowing occurs at the end of a month. When cash is available for repayments, the repayment occurs at the end of a month. The company pays interest in cash at the end of every month at a monthly rate of 1% on the amount outstanding during that month. The owner has gathered the data shown in the Table below to prepare the simplified budget. In addition, she will purchase equipment in October for $19,750 cash and pay dividends of $4,000 in December. You are required to prepare the Country Store’s master budget for the months of October, November, and December.
