3. 10-3 Costs and benefits that differ between alternatives Costs that are avoidable

4. 10-4  Incremental : added costs or revenues  Differential : difference of costs and revenue between alternatives

5. 10-5 1. only on relevant costs 2. Ignore sunk costs and future costs and benefits that do not differ between the alternatives.

6. 10-6 3. Consider qualitative information is vital to decision-making.

7. 10-7 Costs that are relevant in one decision situation may not be relevant in another context.

8. 10-8 Each decision situation requires the manager to examine the data at hand and isolate the relevant costs.

9. 10-9 1. Only rarely will enough information be available to prepare detailed income statements for both alternatives.

10. 10-10 2. Mingling irrelevant costs with relevant costs may cause confusion and distract attention away from the information that is really critical.

11. 10-11 1.Calculate Contribution margin that would disappear if segment is dropped. Put results as negative. 2. Calculate fixed costs that would disappear if segment is dropped. 3. Add (1) to (2). If result is negative 4. Evaluate significant qualitative consequences. or

12. 10-12 1.Calculate Contribution margin that would disappear if segment is dropped. Put results as negative. 2. Calculate fixed costs that would disappear if segment is dropped. 3. Add (1) to (2). If result is negative 4. Evaluate significant qualitative consequences. or

13. 10-13 The management of Bayside Company is considering whether one of the departments in its retail stores should be eliminated. The contribution margin in the department is $150,000 per year. Fixed expenses allocated to the department are $130,000 per year. It is estimated that $120,000 of these fixed expenses will be eliminated if the department is discontinued. Part (a) Which costs are irrelevant to this decision? The common fixed costs of $10,000 (or $130,000 - $120,000) are irrelevant to this decision.

14. 10-14 Part (b) If the department is eliminated, what will be the impact on the company’s overall net operating income? CM that would be lost if department is discontinued $(150,000) Less fixed costs that can be avoided if department is discontinued 120,000 Increase (decrease) in net operating income (30,000) Based on this information alone, because the company’s net operating income would decrease by $30,000 per year, management should this department.

15. 10-15 Insourcing : Producing goods or services within an organization May require expanding to increase capacity Outsourcing : Purchasing goods or services from outside vendor or supplier.

16. 10-16 1.Calculate total amount to pay supplier. 2.Calculate total differential costs if company chooses to make. 3.Calculate difference between the 2 options. 4.Select lowest cost option. 5.Analyze qualitative factors

17. 10-17 Logistical considerations  distance from plant

18. 10-18 Dependance on supplier can increase risk:

19. 10-19

20. 10-20 Idle space (caused by outsourcing) that has no alternative has an opportunity cost of $ 0.

21. 10-21 No longterm implications There is existing idle capacity Usually the price is lower than the regular product There are variable and fixed relevant costs incurred

22. 10-22 Company must decide if the decision creates incremental net operating income Fixed costs are sunk costs, therefore irrelevant Absorption costing is not appropriate in the decision

23. 10-23 1.Calculate total revenue generated by special order 2.Calculate total incremental costs 3.3. (1) – (2) => if positive accept the order

24. 10-24 4.Will this impact regular customers? 5.Is there potential future business?

25. 10-25 Effectively managing the constraint is the key to success.

26. 10-26 4. Recognize that the weakest link is stronger. 1. Identify the weakest link. 2. Allow the weakest link to set the tempo. 3. Focus on improving the weakest link. Only actions that strengthen the weakest link in the “chain” improve the process.

27. 10-27 1. Calculate each product’s Contribution Margin (CM) per unit. 2. Identify constraining resource and the quantity of that resource that is consumed by the unit. 3. Divide (CM) by unit of constrained resource.

28. 10-28 4. Rank products from highest CM to lowest CM. 5. The CM must be viewed in relation to the amount of the constrained resource each product requires.

29. 10-29 Increase the capacity of a bottleneck, called relaxing constraint, such as: 1.Working overtime on the bottleneck. 2.Subcontracting some of the processing that would be done at the bottleneck. 3.Investing in additional machines at the bottleneck.

30. 10-30 4. Shifting workers from non-bottleneck processes to the bottleneck. 5. Focusing business process improvement efforts on the bottleneck. 6. Reducing defective units processed through the bottleneck.

31. 10-31 Colonial Heritage makes reproduction colonial furniture from select hardwoods. The company’s supplier of hardwood will only be able to supply 2,000 board feet this month. Is this enough hardwood to satisfy demand? a. Yes b. No

32. 10-32 Colonial Heritage makes reproduction colonial furniture from select hardwoods. The company’s supplier of hardwood will only be able to supply 2,000 board feet this month. Is this enough hardwood to satisfy demand? a. Yes b. No (2  600) + (10  100 ) = 2,200 > 2,000

33. 10-33 The company’s supplier of hardwood will only be able to supply 2,000 board feet this month. What plan would maximize profits? a. 500 chairs and 100 tables b. 600 chairs and 80 tables c. 500 chairs and 80 tables d. 600 chairs and 100 tables

34. 10-34 The company’s supplier of hardwood will only be able to supply 2,000 board feet this month. What plan would maximize profits? a. 500 chairs and 100 tables b. 600 chairs and 80 tables c. 500 chairs and 80 tables d. 600 chairs and 100 tables

35. 10-35 As before, Colonial Heritage’s supplier of hardwood will only be able to supply 2,000 board feet this month. Assume the company follows the plan we have proposed. Up to how much should Colonial Heritage be willing to pay above the usual price to obtain more hardwood? a. $40 per board foot b. $25 per board foot c. $20 per board foot d. Zero As before, Colonial Heritage’s supplier of hardwood will only be able to supply 2,000 board feet this month. Assume the company follows the plan we have proposed. Up to how much should Colonial Heritage be willing to pay above the usual price to obtain more hardwood? a. $40 per board foot b. $25 per board foot c. $20 per board foot d. Zero

36. 10-36 As before, Colonial Heritage’s supplier of hardwood will only be able to supply 2,000 board feet this month. Assume the company follows the plan we have proposed.

Up to how much should Colonial Heritage be willing to pay above the usual price to obtain more hardwood? a. $40 per board foot b. $25 per board foot c. $20 per board foot d. Zero The additional wood would be used to make tables. In this use, each board foot of additional wood will allow the company to earn an additional $20 of contribution margin and profit.

37. 10-37 When 2 or more products are produced from a common input. Split-off point is when the diffferent products are separated.

38. 10-38 Joint Input Common Production Process Split-Off Point Oil Gasoline Chemicals Petroleum refining industry, a large number of products are extracted from crude oil: gasoline, jet fuel, home heating oil, lubricants, asphalt, and various organic chemicals.

39. 10-39 Separate Processing Separate Processing Final Sale Final Sale Final Sale Separate Product Costs Joint Input Common Production Process Split-Off Point Oil Gasoline Chemicals Joint costs are incurred up to the split-off point

40. 10-40 Joint costs are irrelevant From the split-off point they cannot be avoided. Joint costs are common and should not be included in making decisions

41. 10-41 1.Sales value if processed further minus Sales value at the split-off point. 2. Cost of further processing beyond the split-off point. Process further 3. (1) – (2). If positive then Process further
