Question 5

Product J is one of the many products manufactured and sold by Gooble Company. An income statement by product line for the past year indicated a net loss for Product J of $7,250. This net loss resulted from sales of $265,000, cost of goods sold of $186,500, and operating expenses of $85,750. It is estimated that 30% of the cost of goods sold represents fixed factory overhead costs and that 40% of the operating expense is fixed. If Product J is retained, the revenue, costs, and expenses are not expected to change significantly from those of the current year. However, because of the net loss, management is considering the elimination of the unprofitable endeavor. Because of the large number of products manufactured, the total fixed costs and expenses are not expected to decline significantly if Product J is discontinued.

Prepare a differential analysis report, dated February 8 of the current year, on the proposal to discontinue Product J.

Question 6

Pull Company is considering the disposal of equipment that is no longer needed for operations. The equipment originally cost $600,000, and accumulated depreciation to date totals $460,000.

The repair, insurance, and property tax expenses during the period of the lease are estimated at $75,800. Alternatively, the equipment can be sold through a broker for $230,000 less a 10% commission.

Prepare a differential analysis report, dated June 15 of the current year, on whether the equipment should be leased or sold.

Question 7

FDE Manufacturing Company has a normal plant capacity of 75,000 units per month. Because of an extra large quantity of inventory on hand, it expects to produce only 60,000 units in May. Monthly fixed costs and expenses are $150,000 ($2 per unit at normal plant capacity), and variable costs and expenses are $13 per unit. The present selling price is $25 per unit. The company has an opportunity to sell 5,000 additional units at $14.30 per unit to an exporter who plans to market the product under its own brand name in a foreign market. The additional business is therefore not expected to affect the regular selling price or quantity of sales of FDE Manufacturing Company.

Prepare a differential analysis report, dated April 21 of the current year, on the proposal to sell at the special price.
