The company desires to seek an order for 5,000 units from a foreign customer. The
variable selling expenses will be reduced by 40%, but the fixed costs for obtaining the order will
be P20,000. Domestic sales will not be affected by the order. What is the minimum breakeven
price per unit to be considered on this special sales order? _______________

2. Mina Co. mines 3 products. Gold ore sells for P1,000,000 per ton; variable costs are
P600,000 per ton and fixed mining costs are P6,000,000. The segment margin for 2005 was
P1,200,000. The management of Mina Co. was considering dropping the mining of Gold
Ore. Only one-half of the fixed expenses are direct and would be eliminated if the segment
was dropped. If Gold Ore were dropped, What is the effect on net income of Mina Co?

3. A part used in the assembly of a final product is manufactured by Guba Tool Co. in two
operations. Ordinarily, 150,000 parts are manufactured each year with total manufacturing
costs as follows:

Operation 1;
Direct Materials……………………………… P 84,000
Direct Labor…………………………………. 78,000
Variable costs of supplies and indirect materials. 18,000
Allocated costs of plant occupancy………….. 36,000
Operation 2;
Direct labor…………………………………... 23,000
Variable costs of supplies and indirect materials 11,000
Allocated costs of plant occupancy………….. 27,000
P277,000
=======
 Operation 1 can be eliminated if these parts are purchased from an outside supplier at a
price of P1.10 per unit. The space used for Operation 1 can be rented for P6,000 a year. The
parts purchased from an outside supplier will still have to be put through Operation 2. If the
parts are purchased, the company must absorb the freight charges estimated at P15,000 a year.
What is the best alternative and by what amount is it more advantages?

4. Canvass Enterprises is engaged in the bottling of a chemical compound used for car paints.
Monthly production averages 200,000 bottles per month for the 3 quarters of the current year.
Each bottle sells for p20 in the market. The annual fixed costs for Canvass is 7.2 millions
evenly distributed on a 12-month period.

The last quarter of the year is a critical period for Canvass. It is during this last 3 months of
the year where the demand for the product is expected to go down due to seasonal variation;
at this period, the demand is estimated to be an average of 40,000 bottles per month.

On the belief that the company will be saved from greater losses, management is
considering to shutdown operations during the last quarter of the year. A decision to shutdown
would decrease the fixed costs by 30%. However, during the shutdown period, additional costs
of P140,000 is needed for security and insurance. To restart operations, the company will spend
P50,000. The following data are gathered from the records of Canvass Enterprises;
Production cost per bottle:
Direct materials……………………………. P 7
Direct labor………………………………… 4
Variable factory overhead………………….. 3
Total………………………………………… 14
====
Variable selling and administrative expense per bottle P2
Compute the following;
1. Shutdown point in units? ____________
2. Shutdown cost? ____________________
3. What is the effect on net income if the company will shutdown?____________

7. Leland manufacturing uses 10 units of Part Number K137 each month in the production of
radar equipment. the unit cost to manufacture one unit of K137 is presented below.

Direct materials P 1,000

Materials handling (20% of direct material cost) 200
Direct labor 8,000
Manufacturing overhead (150% of direct labor) 12,000

Materials handling represents the direct variable costs of the receiving department that
are applied to direct materials and purchased components on the basis of their costs. This is a
separate charge in addition to manufacturing overhead. Leland's annual manufacturing overhead
budget is one-third variable and two-thirds fixed. Scott Supply, one of Leland's reliable vendors,
has offered to supply Part No. K137 at a unit price of P15,000.

1. If Leland purchase the K137 units from Scott, the capacity Leland used to
manufacture these parts would be idle. Should Leland decide to purchase the parts
from Scoot, what would be the impact on net income? ____________
 2. Assume Leland Manufacturing is able to rent all idle capacity for P25,000 per
month. If Leland decides to purchase the 10 units from Scott Supply, What is the
impact on costs of K137?___________________
3. Assume that Leland does not wish to commit to a rental agreement but could use
idle capacity to manufacture another product that would contribute P52,000 per
month. If Leland elects to manufacture K137 in order to maintain quality control,
What is the opportunity cost? ______________________

8. MC's Industries manufactures a product with the following costs per unit at the expected
