The owners of Whitewater rafting are currently contemplating a manufacturing process (Old Process) that will require an investment of $4,000 and a variable cost of $6 per raft vs. a larger (New Process) initial investment of $20,000 with more automated equipment that would reduce their variable cost of manufacture to $2 per raft. Compare the two manufacturing processes proposed here. For what volume demand should each process be chosen?
A. From 0 to 1000 choose Old Process, From 1000 to infinity choose New Process
B. From 0 to 4000 choose New Process, From 4000 to infinity choose Old Process
C. From 0 to 4000 choose Old Process, From 4000 to infinity choose New Process
D. Always use the Old Process and never use the New Process
E Always use the New Process and never use the Old Process

Answer:

C. From 0 to 4000 choose Old Process, From 4000 to infinity choose New Process

Explanation:

Let the number of raft be denoted by Y

We are told that old process requires an investment of $4,000 and a variable cost of $6 per raft

Thus, old process cost is;

C_old = 4000 + 6Y

We are told that the new process has an investment of $20,000 and that the variable cost is $2 per raft..

Thus, new process cost is;

C_new = 20000 + 2Y

To find the volume demand by which each process will be chosen, we will equate both old and new costs to get;

4000 + 6Y = 20000 + 2Y

Rearranging, we have;

6Y - 2Y = 20000 - 4000

4Y = 16000

Y = 16000/4

Y = 4000

Thus, old process should be applied from 0 to 4000 and new process should be applied from 4000 to infinity.

Thus, option C is correct.

McNulty, Inc., produces desks and chairs. A new CFO has just been hired and announces a new policy that, if a product cannot earn a margin on sales of at least 20 percent, it will be dropped.
The margin is computed as product gross profit divided by reported product cost.
Manufacturing overhead for year 1 totaled $800,000. Overhead is allocated to products based on direct labor cost.
Data for year 1 show the following:
Chairs Desks
Sales revenue $1,150,000 $2,105,000
Direct materials 584,000 800,000
Direct labor 160,000 340,000
a-1. Based on the CFO's new policy, calculate the profit margin for both chairs and desks.
Profit Margin (%)
Chairs
Desks

The Bassos contracted with Dierberg to purchase her property for $1,310,000. One term of the contract stated, "[t]he sale under this contract shall be closed . . . at the office of Community Title Company. . . on May 16, 1988 at 10:00 am. . . . Time is of the essence of this contract." After forming the contract, the Bassos assigned their right to purchase Dierberg’s property to Miceli and Slonim Development Corp. At 10:00 am on May 16, 1988, Dierberg appeared at Community Title for closing. No representative of Miceli and Slonim was there, nor did anyone from Miceli and Slonim inform Dierberg that there would be any delay in the closing. At 10:20 am, Dierberg declared the contract null and void because the closing did not take place as agreed, and she left the title company office shortly thereafter. Dierberg had intended to use the purchase money to close another contract to purchase real estate later in the day. At about 10:30 AM, a representative of Miceli and Slonim appeared at Community Title to begin the closing, but the representative did not have the funds for payment until 1 :30 PM. Dierberg refused to return to the title company, stating that Miceli and Slonim had breached the contract by failing to tender payment on time. She had already made alternative arrangements to finance her purchase of other real estate to meet her obligation under that contract. Miceli and Slonim sued Dierberg, claiming that the contract did not require closing exactly at 10:00 AM, but rather some time on the day of May 16. Will they prevail?
