Pottery Ranch Inc. has been manufacturing its own finials for its curtain rods. The company is currently operating at 100% of capacity, and variable manufacturing overhead is charged to production at the rate of 69% of direct labor cost. The direct materials and direct labor cost per unit to make a pair of finials are $4 and $5, respectively. Normal production is 25,400 curtain rods per year. A supplier offers to make a pair of finials at a price of $13.20 per unit. If Pottery Ranch accepts the supplier’s offer, all variable manufacturing costs will be eliminated, but the $45,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead currently being charged to the finials will have to be absorbed by other products.

Current Attempt in Progress Pottery Ranch Inc. has been manufacturing its own finials for its curtain rods. The company is currently operating at 100% of capacity, and variable manufacturing overhead is charged to production at the rate of 66% of direct labor cost.

Current Designs faces a number of important decisions that require incremental analysis. Recently, Mike Cichanowski, owner and CEO of Current Designs, received a phone call from the president of a brewing company. He was calling to inquire about the possibility of Current Designs producing "floating coolers" for a promotion his company was planning. These coolers resemble a kayak but are about one-third the size. They are used to float food and beverages while paddling down the river on a weekend leisure trip. The company would be interested in purchasing 120 coolers for the upcoming summer. It is willing to pay $255 per cooler. The brewing company would pick up the coolers upon completion of the order. Mike met with Diane Buswell, controller, to identify how much it would cost Current Designs to produce the coolers. After careful analysis, the following costs were identified. Direct materials Direct labor $83 /unit $57 /unit Variable overhead Fixed overhead $21 /unit $1.200 Current…

Sandhill Bikes could sell its bicycles to retailers either assembled or unassembled. The cost of an unassembled bike is as follows. Direct materials $147 Direct labor 70 Variable overhead (70% of direct labor) 49 Fixed overhead (30% of direct labor) 21 Manufacturing cost per unit $287 The unassembled bikes are sold to retailers at $451 each. Sandhill has unused productive capacity that is expected to continue indefinitely: management has concluded that some of this capacity could be used to assemble the bikes and sell them at $491 each. Assembling the bikes will increase direct materials by $5 per bike and direct labor by $10 per bike. Additional variable overhead will be incurred at the normal rates, but there will be no additional fixed overhead as a result of assembling the bikes.
