EX 16-12
| 16-12 Accept special sales order? SureLock Manufacturing Co. makes and sells several models of locks. The cost records for the ZForce lock show that manufacturing costs total $ 19.62 per lock. An analysis of this amount indicates that $ 11.90 of the total cost has a variable cost behavior pattern, and the remainder is an allocation of fixed manufacturing overhead. The normal selling price of this model is $ 29.00 per lock. A chain store has offered to buy 14,000 ZForce locks from SureLock at a price of $ 15.75 each to sell in a market that would not compete with SureLock’s regular business. SureLock has manufacturing capacity available and could make these locks without incurring additional fixed manufacturing overhead. | |

| 16-16 The make or buy decision Redbud Company uses a certain part in its manufacturing process that it buys from an outside supplier for $ 44 per part plus another $ 6 for shipping and other purchasing- related costs. The company will need 10,000 of these parts in the next year and is considering making the part internally. After performing a capacity analysis, Redbud determined that it has sufficient unused capacity to manufacture the 10,000 parts but would need to hire a manager at an annual salary of $ 40,000 to oversee this production activity. Estimated production costs are determined to be: | |||
| Direct material | $28 | ||
| Direct labor | $12 | ||
| Variable OH | $6 | ||

| 16-28 Relevant costs, special sales order— idle versus full capacity Petro Motors, Inc. ( PMI), produces small gasoline- powered motors for use in lawn mowers. The company has been growing steadily over the past five years and is operating at full capacity. PMI recently completed the addition of new plant and equipment at a cost of $ 6,000,000, thereby increasing its manufacturing capacity to 100,000 motors annually. The addition to plant and equipment will be depreciated on a straight- line basis over 10 years. Sales of motors were 75,000 units prior to the completion of the additional capacity. Cost records indicated that manufacturing costs had totaled $ 76 per motor, of which $ 60 per motor was considered to be variable manufacturing costs. PMI has used the volume of activity at full capacity as the basis for applying fixed manufacturing overhead. The normal selling price is $ 100 per motor, and PMI pays a 10% commission on the sale of its motors. LawnPro. com offered to purchase 20,000 motors at a price of $ 75 per unit to test the viability of distributing lawn mower replacement motors through its website. PMI would be expected to produce the motors, store them in its warehouse, and ship individual motors to LawnPro. com customers. As orders are placed directly through the LawnPro. com website, they would be forwarded instantly to PMI. No commissions will be paid on this special sales order, and freight charges will be paid by the customer purchasing a motor. | |||
