Question 1:
Demerara Engineering Ltd., located at Coldingen, ECD manufactures a variety of industrial valves and pipe fittings that are sold to customers in the Caribbean. Currently the company is operating at 70% of capacity and is earning a satisfactory return on investment. The Guyana Water Inc. (GWI) has approached the management of Demerara Engineering Ltd., with an offer to buy 120,000 units of a pressure valve which it will need to complete a long delayed water supply project in Black Bush Polder. However, because GWI is working with a fixed budget it can only offer Demerara Engineering $19 for each valve.
Demerara Engineering’s product costs, based on current attainable standards for the pressure valve is:
Direct material $5.
Direct labour $6.
Manufacturing overhead $9.
Total Cost $20
Manufacturing overhead is applied to production at the rate of $18 per direct labour hour. This overhead rate is made up of the following components:
Variable factory overhead $6.
Direct fixed factory overhead $8 .
Allocated fixed factory overhead $4.
Applied manufacturing overhead rate $18
Additional costs incurred in connection with the sales of me pressure valve include commissions of 5% and freight expense of $1 per unit However the company does not pay sales commissions on special orders that come directly from management
In determining selling prices, Demerara Engineering Ltd., adds a 40% markup to product costs. This provides a $28 suggested selling price for the pressure valve. The marketing department however has set the current selling price at $27 in order to maintain market share. Production management believes it can handle the GWI order without disrupting its scheduled production. The order would however require additional fixed factory overhead of $12,000 per month in the form of supervision and clerical costs.If management accepts the order, 30,000 pressure valves will be manufactured each month for four months and GWI has agreed to collect these on the last working day of each month.
a.Prepare an incremental analysis showing the impact of accepting the GWI order.
b.Calculate the minimum price that Demerara Engineering Ltd. could accept for the GWI order without reducing net income.
c.Identify two factors other than price that Demerara Engineering Ltd., should consider before accepting the GWI order.
Question 2:
Two investment centers of Keith Products Company are the Electronics Division and the Appliance Division. The Electronics Division manufactures an electronic computer chip that can be sold externally and is also used by the Appliance Division in making motors for its appliances. The following information is available about the computer chip:
Total production annually: 200,000 units; internal requirements: 150,000 units; all others are sold externally
List selling price: $25.60
Variable production costs: $14
Fixed overhead: $300,000; allocated on the basis of units of production
Variable selling costs: $3; includes $1 per unit in advertising costs
Fixed selling costs $400,000
Determine the transfer price under each of the following methods:
a) Total variable cost
b) Full production cost
c) Total variable production cost plus necessary selling costs
d) Market priceJune 3, 2010 at 1:10 pm #61634It is not fair to expect people to answer complete questions like this.
Say what your problem is and then someone will try and help.Also, transfer pricing is not F2.
