YEAR Fleet Miles Operating Costs

2015 395,000 $415,000

Using the high-low method, develop a cost-estimating equation for total annual operating costs.

2. Angel Computer plans to classify manufacturing activities. List the four categories of activities and provide an example of each activity level.

2. Chandler Manufacturing Company currently buys 25,000 units of a part used to manufacture its product at $69 per unit. The supplier recently informed the company’s management that a 20 percent increase will take effect next year. Chandler has some additional space and could produce the units for the following per-unit costs (based on 25,000 units):

Direct materials

$30

Direct labor

$25

Variable manufacturing overhead

$25

If Chandler purchases the units from the supplier, Chandler can rent out the plant for $45,000 per year. Should Chandler Company buy the part externally or make it internally? Use differential analysis to support your answer.

3. GTO Mfg., Inc. manufactures a single product (A) with the following full unit costs at a volume of 2,000 units:

Direct materials

$ 900

Direct labor

360

Manufacturing overhead *

600

Selling expenses (50% variable)

300

Administrative expenses **

280

Total per unit

$2,440

*Note that per unit manufacturing overhead costs include $840,000 fixed costs

**Note that per unit administrative expenses include $500,000 fixed costs.

A company recently approached GTO Mfg.’s management about buying 350 units of product A. GTO Mfg. currently sells its product to dealers for $2,600 per unit. Capacity is sufficient to produce the extra 350 units. No selling expenses would be incurred on the special order.

What is the minimum price GTO Mfg. should charge just to break even on the special order?
