Lady bug operates a small machine shop. He manufactures one standard product available from many other similar businesses, and he also manufactures products to customer order. His accountant prepared the annual income statement shown below:
Custom sales | standard sales | Total | |
Sales | 50,000 | 25,000 | 75,000 |
Materials | 10,000 | 8,000 | 18,000 |
Labor | 20,000 | 9,000 | 29,000 |
Depreciation | 6,300 | 3,600 | 9,900 |
power | 700 | 400 | 1,100 |
rent | 6,000 | 1,000 | 7,000 |
heat and light | 600 | 100 | 700 |
other | 400 | 900 | 1,300 |
total costs | 44,000 | 23,000 | 67,000 |
Operating income | 6,000 | 2,000 | 8,000 |
The depreciation charges are for machines used in the respective
product lines. The power charge is apportioned on the estimate of
power consumed. The rent is for the building space, which has been
leased for 10 years at $7,000 per year. The rent and heat and light
are apportioned to the product lines based on amount of floor space
occupied. All other costs are current expenses identified with the
product line incurring them.
A valued custom parts customer has asked Lady Bug to manufacture
5,000 special units for him. Lady Bug is working at capacity and
would have to give up some other business to take this business.
They cannot renege on custom orders already agreed to, but they
could reduce the output of his standard product by about one-half
for one year while producing the specially requested custom part.
The customer is willing to pay $7 for each part. The materials cost
will be about $2 per unit, and the labor will be $3.60 per unit.
Lady Bug will have to spend $2,000 for a special device that will
be discarded when the job is done.
The opportunity cost of taking the order is
A. $9,800 B. $3,550 C. $12,500 D. $4,000
What would be the cash advantage (disadvantage) if Lady Bug accepts
the order?
A. $22,500 B. $13,950 C. $2,450 D. $1,450
1. Since depression, power , rent , heat & light expense are not affected by this project , they will not be considered for calculating opportunity cost.
Opportunity cost will be the contribution foregone because of this new offer.
Total relevent contribution = sales - material - labor - other expenses
= 25000 - 8000 - 9000 - 900
= 7100
Since half of the standard product will be foregone , hence opportunity cost = 7100 * 1/2 = $3550
Answer is option B
2. Cash advantage = contribution received from new offer - opportunity cost
Contribution Received = [($7 - $ 2 - $3.60)*5000] - $2000
= $5000
Cash advantage = $5000 - $3550
= $1450
Hence answer is option D.
