Cost and Profit Exam
Costs associated with two alternatives, code-named Q and R, being considered by Lang Corporation are listed below: | | Alternative Q | Alternative R | Supplies costs | $ 64,500 | $ 64,500 | Power costs | $ 36,500 | $ 21,500 | Inspection costs | $ 11,400 | $ 26,300 | Assembly costs | $ 38,600 | $ 28,000 | | Required: | a. | Which costs are relevant and which are not relevant in the choice between these two alternatives? | | | Supplies costs | | Power costs | | Inspection costs | | Assembly costs | | | b. | What is the differential cost between the two alternatives? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Omit the "$" sign in your response.) | Total differential cost | $ | Ries Corporation has received a request for a special order of 8,700 units of product R34 for $34.40 each. The normal selling price of this product is $36.10 each, but the units would need to be modified slightly for the customer. The normal unit product cost of product R34 is computed as follows: | | | | Direct materials | $ | 10.70 | Direct labor | | 1.30 | Variable manufacturing overhead | | 6.80 | Fixed manufacturing overhead | | 2.60 | | | | Unit product cost | $ | 21.40 | | | | |

Direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company’s total fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The customer would like some modifications made to product R34 that would increase the variable costs by $6.00 per unit and that would require a one-time investment of $37,000 in special molds that would have no salvage value. This special order would have no effect on the company’s other sales. The company has ample spare capacity for producing the special order. | Required: | Determine the effect on the company’s total net operating income of accepting the special order.

    I have used a descriptive decision tree to analyze your situation. Using a decision tree to evaluate and depict your issue allowed me to weigh the different possible outcomes with their associated consequences and probabilities. There are three separate attachments I will be referring to throughout the discussion of my results. I used the probabilities given in your memorandum with the various costs associated with each option and calculated the expected monetary value (EMV) for each alternative. The expected monetary value is the estimated probabilistic value for each option. An EMV allows you to gage the expected costs and/or profits you will be facing regarding each option. Given that we are trying to reduce your costs as much as possible, the lowest EMV is the most desirable option.…
