Diamond Computer Company has been purchasing carrying cases for its portable computers at a purchase price of $59 per unit. The company, which is currently operating below full capacity, charges factory overhead to production at the rate of 40% of direct labor cost. The fully absorbed unit costs to produce comparable carrying cases are expected to be as follows:
Direct materials $35.00
Direct labor 18.00
Factory overhead (40% of direct labor) 7.20
Total cost per unit $60.20
If Diamond Computer Company manufactures the carrying cases, fixed factory overhead costs will not increase and variable factory overhead costs associated with the cases are expected to be 15% of the direct labor costs.
Prepare a differential analysis dated February 24 to determine whether the company should make (Alternative 1) or buy (Alternative 2) the carrying case. If an amount is zero, enter zero "0". If required, round your answers to two decimal places. For those boxes in which you must enter subtracted or negative numbers use a minus sign.

Answer:

Diamond Computer Company

The company should make (Alternative 1) the cases.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Purchase price of portable computer cases = $59 per unit

Alternative 1: Make

Direct materials        $35.00

Direct labor                 18.00

Variable overhead       2.70 (15% of $18.00)

Total variable  cost $55.70

Alternative 2: Buy

Purchase price = $59

b) A make or buy decision is determined by preparing a differential analysis.  The differential or incremental analysis evaluates the changes in revenues, costs, and profits resulting from Diamond's decision to make or purchase the computer carrying cases.

Victory Company uses weighted-average process costing to account for its production costs. Conversion cost is added evenly throughout the process. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the first process. During November, the first process transferred 755,000 units of product to the second process. Additional information for the first process follows. At the end of November, work in process inventory consists of 200,000 units that are 70% complete with respect to conversion. Beginning work in process inventory had $248,300 of direct materials and $179,000 of conversion cost. The direct material cost added in November is $1,661,700, and the conversion cost added is $3,401,000. Beginning work in process consisted of 74,000 units that were 100% complete with respect to direct materials and 80% complete with respect to conversion. Of the units completed, 74,000 were from beginning work in process and 681,000 units were started and completed during the period.
A. Compute both the direct material cost and the conversion cost per equivalent unit.
B. Compute the direct material cost and the conversion cost assigned to units completed and transferred out and ending work in process inventory.
