exercise craze is such that Lifemaster could use all its availablemachine hours to
produce either model. The two models are processed through the sameproduction

Per Unit
Deluxe Regular
Sale Price $ 1,020 $560
Costs:
Direct Material 300 90
Direct Labor 88 188
Variable Manufacturing Overhead 264 88
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead* 138 46
Variable Operating Expenses 111 65
Total Costs 901 477
Operating Income $ 119 $ 83
*allocated on the basis of machine hours
Requirements
1. What is the constraint?
2. Which model should Lifemaster produce? (Hint: Use the allocationof fixed
manufacturing overhead to determine the proportion of machine hoursused by
each product.)
3. If Lifemaster should produce both models, compute themix that will maximize the operating income

operating income (loss): product line industrial systems(-$24,000), product line household systems ($144,000), total$120,000

Members of the board are surprised that the industrial systemsproduct line is losing money. They commission a study to determinewhether the company should drop the line. Company accountantsestimate that dropping industrial systems will decrease fixed costof goods sold by $81,000 and decrease fixed marketing andadministrative expenses by $14,000.

1. prepare an incremental analysis to show whether Safety Stepshould drop the industrial systems product line. fill in theblanks.

2) Cool Systems manufactures an optical switch that it uses inits final product. The switch has the following manufacturing costsper unit:

Direct materials: $ 10.00

direct labor: $1.50

variable overhead: $1.00

fixed overhead:$6.50

manufacturing product cost:$19.00

Another company has offered to sell Cool Systems the switch for$9.50 per unit. If Cool Systems buys the switch from the outsidesupplier, the manufacturing facilities that will be idled cannot beused for any other purpose, yet none of the fixed costs areavoidable.

1. prepare an outsourcing analysis to determine if Cool Systemsshould make or buy the switch.

3) Naturalmaid processes organic milk into plain yogurt.Naturalmaid sells plain yogurt to hospitals, nursing homes, andrestaurants in bulk, one-gallon containers. Each batch, processedat a cost of $880, yields 900 gallons of plain yogurt. Naturalmaidsells the one-gallon tubs for $6 each, and spends $0.16 for eachplastic tub. Naturalmaid has recently begun to reconsider itsstrategy. Naturalmaid wonders if it would be more profitable tosell individual-size portions of fruited organic yogurt at localfood stores. Naturalmaid could further process each batch of plainyogurt into 19200 individual portions (3/4 cup each) of fruitedyogurt. A recent market analysis indicates that demand for theproduct exists. Naturalmaid would sell each individual portion for$0.54. Packaging would cost $0.07 per portion, and fruit would cost$0.10 per portion. Fixed costs would not change.

a)Should naturalmaid continue to sell only the gallon- sizeplain yogurt (sell as is) , or convert the plain yogurt intoindividual- size portions of fruited yogurt (process further)? why?

calculate the net benefit per batch under each alternative. (Foraccounts with a $0 balance, make sure to enter $0 in theappropriate column.)
