Rise N' Shine Coffee Company produces Columbian coffee in batches of 6,000 pounds. The standard quantity of materials required in the process is 6,000 pounds, which cost $5.50 per pound. Columbian coffee can be sold without further processing for $9.22 per pound. Columbian coffee can also be processed further to yield Decaf Columbian, which can be sold for $11.88 per pound. The processing into Decaf Columbian requires additional processing costs of $10,230 per batch. The additional processing also causes a 5% loss of product due to evaporation.

Required:
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated October 6 on whether to sell regular Columbian (Alternative 1) or process further into Decaf Columbian (Alternative 2).
b. Should Rise N' Shine sell Columbian coffee or process further and sell Decaf Columbian?
c. Determine the price of Decaf Columbian that would cause neither an advantage nor a disadvantage for processing further and selling Decaf Columbian.

Answer:

Rise N' Shine Coffee Company

a. Differential Analysis dated October 6:

                              Alternative 1                      Alternative 2

Sales revenue     $55,320 (6,000 * $9.22)   $67,716 (5,700 * $11.88

Costs:

Cost of product     33,000 (6,000 * $5.50)    33,000 (6,000 * $5.50)

Batch cost                                                         10,230

Evaporation loss                                                 1,650

Total costs          $33,000                             $44,880

Profit                   $22,320                             $22,836

b. Rise N' Shine should process further before selling Decaf Columbian.

c. If the price of Decaf Columbian coffee were $11.79 ($11.88 - $516/5,700), it will cause neither an advantage nor a disadvantage for processing the Columbian coffee further.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total quantity of materials required = 6,000 pounds

Cost price of each pound = $5.50

Selling price of Columbian coffee without further processing = $9.22

Selling price of Decaf Columbian coffee with further processing = $11.88

Costs of additional processing:

Batch cost = $10,230

Evaporation loss = 5% of 6,000 (300) = $1,650

Differential Analysis dated October 6:

                              Alternative 1                      Alternative 2

Sales revenue     $55,320 (6,000 * $9.22)   $67,716 (5,700 * $11.88

Costs:

Cost of product     33,000 (6,000 * $5.50)    33,000 (6,000 * $5.50)

Batch cost                                                         10,230

Evaporation loss                                                 1,650

Total costs          $33,000                             $44,880

Profit                   $22,320                             $22,836

Difference = $516 ($22,836 - $22,320)

Part U16 is used by Mcvean Corporation to make one of its products. A total of 16,500 units of this part are produced and used every year. The company's Accounting Department reports the following costs of producing the part at this level of activity: Per Unit Direct materials $ 3.60 Direct labor $ 8.20 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 8.70 Supervisor's salary $ 4.10 Depreciation of special equipment $ 2.50 Allocated general overhead $ 7.70 An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $27.50 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including the direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company, none of which would be avoided if the part were purchased instead of produced internally. In addition, the space used to make part U16 could be used to make more of one of the company's other products, generating an additional segment margin of $28,500 per year for that product. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of buying part U16 from the outside supplier should be:

An order has been received from an overseas customer for 3700 units to be delivered this month at a special discounted price. This order would not change the total amount of the company's fixed costs. The variable selling and administrative expense would be $2.90 less per unit on this order than on normal sales. Direct labor is a variable cost in this company. Suppose there is not enough idle capacity to produce all of the units for the overseas customer and accepting the special order would require cutting back on production of 1550 units for regular customers. The minimum acceptable price per unit for the special order is closest to:
