Chapter 10, Problem 9PB
ZZOOM, Inc., has decided to discontinue manufacturing its Z Best model. Currently, the company has 4,600 partially completed Z Best models on hand. The government has put a recall on a particular part in the Z Best model, so each base model must now be reworked to accommodate the style of the new part. The company has spent $110 per unit to manufacture these Z Best models to their current state. Reworking each Z Best model will cost $22 for materials and $25 for direct labor. In addition, $9 of variable
If ZZOOM completes the Z Best models, it can sell them for $180 per unit. On the other hand, another manufacturer is interested in purchasing the partially completed units for $105 each and converting them into Z Plus models. Prepare a differential analysis per unit to determine if ZZOOM should complete the Z Best models or sell them in their current state.

- InteliSystems manufactures an optical switch that it uses in its final product. InteliSystems incurred the following manufacturing costs when it produced 70,000 units last year as shown in the chart below: InteliSystems does not yet know how many switches it will need this year; however, another company has offered to sell InteliSystems the switch for $8.50 per unit. If InteliSystems buys the switch from the outside supplier, the manufacturing facilities that will be idle cannot be used for any other purpose; yet none of the fixed costs are avoidable. Requirements 1. Given the same cost structure, should InteliSystems make or buy the switch? Show your analysis. 2. Now, assume that InteliSystems can avoid $105,000 of fixed costs a year by outsourcing production. In addition, because sales are increasing, InteliSystems needs 75,000 switches a year rather than 70,000 switches. What should the company do now? 3.

The company has received a bid from Monte Legend Co. (MLC) to produce 10,000 units of the module per year for $16 each. The following information pertains to MSI’s production of the control modules: Direct materials $ 9 Direct labor 4 Variable manufacturing overhead 2 Fixed manufacturing overhead 3 Total cost per unit $ 18 MSI has determined that it could eliminate all variable costs if the control modules were produced externally, but none of the fixed overhead is avoidable. At this time, MSI has no specific use in mind for the space that is currently dedicated to the control module production. Suppose that the MSI space currently used for the modules could be utilized by a new product line that would generate $35,000 in annual profit. Recompute the difference in cost between making and buying under this scenario.arrow_forwardCullumber Roofing is faced with a decision. The company relies very heavily on the use of its 60-foot extension lift for work on large homes and commercial properties. Last year, Cullumber Roofing spent $67,200 refurbishing the lift. It has just determined that another $31,000 of repair work is required. Alternatively, it has found a newer used lift that is for sale for $132,500. The company estimates that both lifts would have useful lives of 5 years. The new lift is more efficient and thus would reduce operating expenses from $93,000 to $70,600 each year. Cullumber Roofing could also rent out the new lift for about $8,000 per year. The old lift is not suitable for rental. The old lift could currently be sold for $19,500 if the new lift is purchased.
