Moscot manufactures high-end sunglasses that it sells in retail shops and online for $310, on avera P17-33 Applications of Differential Analysis Assume the following represent manufacturing and other costs. Variable Costs per Unit Direct materials. Direct labor..... Factory overhead Distribution Total Fixed Costs per Month $ 80 Factory overhead. 50 Selling and administrative. 35 Total .. 10 $175 $450,00 375,00 $825.000 The variable distribution costs are for transportation to retail partners. Assume the current monthly production and sales volume is 15,000 units. Monthly capacity is 20,000 units. Domien
d. A Swiss distributor has proposed to place a special, one-time order for 6,000 units at a special price of $250 per unit. The distributor would pay all transportation costs. There would be additional fixed selling and administrative costs of $1,000. Assume overtime production is not possible. e. Assume Moscat provides a designer case for each pair of sunglasses that it manufactures. A Chinese manufacturer has offered a one-year contract to supply the cases at a cost of $10 per unit. If Moscat accepts the offer, it will be able to reduce variable manufacturing costs by 5%, reduce fixed costs by $5,000, and rent out some freed-up space for $4,000 per month. f. The glasses also come with a choice of lens tint. Assume that eliminating that option would reduce variable costs by $5 and eliminate $50,000 in fixed factory overhead. The selling price would likely have to decrease to $290 per unit.
Expert Solution
d)
Since the total capacity for production is 20,000 units and if the order for 6,000 units will be accepted, then total units sold other than this order will be 14,000 units only.
Since the distributor will pay the transportation cost, hence distribution cost will not be incurred, therefore, variable cost per unit will be $165 per unit.
Now saving of distribution cost for 1000 units will also be there as now only 14000 units will be sold in market at original price.
Calculation of change in profit in case order is accepted.
Increase in revenue ( 6000 * 250) $1,500,000
Decrease in revenue (1000 * 310) (310,000)
Increase in Variable cost (6000 *165) (990,000)
Saving in variable cost (1000*10) 10,000
Additional fixed cost (1,000)
Increase in Profit $209,000
Since the total profit has increased by accepting the order, therefore, it shall be accepted.
e)
Total cost incurred for 15000 cases = 15,000 * $10 per case = $150,000
Reduction in present cost:
Variable cost reduction ( ($80 + $50 + $35)*15,000*5%) $123,750
Fixed cost reduction 5,000
Rent income 4,000
Total benefit $132,750
Since the total cost that will be incurred is more than the benefit, hence the order shall not be given.
f)
Loss in Revenue = 15,000 * $20 per unit = $300,000
Benefit:
Variable costs saved = 15,000 * $5 = $75,000
Fixed costs saved = $50,000
Total benefit $125,000
Since the benefit does not exceed the loss, the decision shall not be taken.
