Phelps Industries is a multi-product company that currently manufactures 30,000 units of part ST35 each month for use in production of its products. The facilities now being used to produce part ST35 have a fixed monthly cost of $150,000 and a capacity to produce 35,000 units per month. If Phelps were to buy part ST35 from an outside supplier, the facilities would be idle, but its fixed costs would continue at 40% of their present amount. The variable production costs of Part ST35 are $11 per unit. If Phelps Industries continues to use 30,000 units of part ST35 each month, it would realize a financial advantage by purchasing this part from an outside supplier only if the supplier's unit price is less than: А. $11.00 В. $14.00 С. $13.00 D. $16.00 Е. None of the above

Dimitri Designs has capacity to produce 30,000 desk chairs per year and is currently selling all 30,000 for $240 each. Country Enterprises has approached Dimitri to buy 800 chairs for $210 each. Dimitris normal variable cost is $165 per chair, including $50 per unit in direct labor per chair. Dimitri can produce the special order on an overtime shift, which means that direct labor would be paid overtime at 150% of the normal pay rate. The annual fixed costs will be unaffected by the special order and the contract will not disrupt any of Dimitris other operations. What will be the impact on profits of accepting the order?
Lander Parts, Inc., produces various automobile parts. In one plant, Lander has a manufacturing cell with the theoretical capability to produce 450,000 fuel pumps per quarter. The conversion cost per quarter is 9,000,000. There are 150,000 production hours available within the cell per quarter. Required: 1. Compute the theoretical velocity (per hour) and the theoretical cycle time (minutes per unit produced). 2. Compute the ideal amount of conversion cost that will be assigned per subassembly. 3. Suppose the actual time required to produce a fuel pump is 40 minutes. Compute the amount of conversion cost actually assigned to each unit produced. What happens to product cost if the time to produce a unit is decreased to 25 minutes? How can a firm encourage managers to reduce cycle time? Finally, discuss how this approach to assigning conversion cost can improve delivery time. 4. Assuming the actual time to produce one fuel pump is 40 minutes, calculate MCE. How much non-value-added time is being used? How much is it costing per unit? 5. Cycle time, velocity, MCE, conversion cost per unit (theoretical conversion rate actual conversion time), and non-value-added costs are all measures of performance for the cell process. Discuss the incentives provided by these measures.
Elly Industries is a multi-product company that currently manufactures 30,000 units of part MR24 each month for use in production of its products.
