Molly Jasper and her sister, Caitlin Peters, got into the novelties business almost by accident. Molly, a talented sculptor, often made little figurines as gifts for friends. Occasionally, she and Caitlin would set up a booth at a crafts fair and sell a few of the figurines along with jewelry that Caitlin made. Little by little, demand for the figurines, now called Mollycaits, grew, and the sisters began to reproduce some of the favorites in resin, using molds of the originals. The day came when a buyer for a major department store offered them a contract to produce 1,480 figurines of various designs for $9,500. Molly and Caitlin realized that it was time to get down to business. To make bookkeeping simpler, Molly had priced all of the figurines at $7.69. Variable operating costs amounted to an average of $5.87 per unit. To produce the order, Molly and Caitlin would have to rent industrial facilities for a month, which would cost them $4,500

a. Calculate Mollycaits' operating breakeven point.
b. Calculate Mollycaits' EBIT on the department store order.
c. If Molly renegotiates the contract at a price of $9.51 per figurine, what will the EBIT be?
d. If the store refuses to pay more than $7.69 per unit but is willing to negotiate quantity, what quantity of figurines will result in an EBIT of $3,700?
e. At this time, Mollycaits come in 15 different varieties. Whereas the average variable cost per unit is $5.87, the actual cost varies from unit to unit.
f. What recommendation would you have for Molly and Caitlin with regard to pricing and/or the numbers and types of units that they offer for sale?

a. The computation of Mollycaits' operating break-even point is 2,473 units ($4,500/$1.82).

b. The calculation of Mollycaits' EBIT on the department store order is $812.40 ($9,500 - $8,688).

c. If department stores' price were $9.51, the EBIT will be $5,387 ($14,075 - $8,688).

Note that for (b) and (c), the fixed cost is not considered.

d. Without paying more than $7.69, the quantity that will result in an EBIT of $3,700 is 4,505 units ($4,500 + $3,700)/$1.82

e.  Varieties of Mollycaits = 15 with variable cost of $5.87

f. The recommendation to Molly and Caitlin with regard to pricing and varieties to offer is that, while the company can varieties to suit the needs of customers, it must ensure that it does not price them below $5.87, its operating cost.

Data and Calculations:

Special contract:

Units of figurines offered = 1,480

Sales value of offer = $9,500

Selling price per unit = $6.42 ($9,500/1,480)

Variable operating cost = $5.87

Contribution margin per unit = $0.55 ($6.42 - $5.97)

Normal business:

Estimated average price per unit = $7.69

Variable operating cost = $5.87

Contribution margin per unit based on average price = $1.82 ($7.69 - $5.87)

Fixed cost per month = $4,500

Thus, Molly and Caitlin can offer various types of figurine, but they must sell at least 2,473 units to break-even.

Bebe Co is a small company that manufactures and sells high-quality.blouses. Its customers are mainly fashion boutiques.
Bebe Co has two directors, one of who is non-executive. The other is involved in the day-to-day administration of the company. There are ten other employees. Six of these work in the factory, one works in the warehouse, one is a sales representative and two are accounts staff. The accounts staff consist of Miss Ines, who is responsible for processing sales and receivables, and Mrs. Evie, who is the purchases and wages clerk. Mrs. Evie works part-time, five mornings a week. The company's sales representative visits shops throughout the region. He takes orders from customers which he records on a pre-numbered two-part order form. He passes the completed forms to the accounts department. Miss Ines files one copy of the order form in numerical sequence and passes the other to the warehouse.



The completed order is dispatched from the warehouse by the carrier, accompanied by one copy of a dispatch note. The other copy is sent to Miss Ines, who prepares an invoice based on the information it contains and on the company's price list. She sends one copy of the invoice to the customer, and a second copy of the invoice is retained



Each Friday, Miss Ines inputs the week's invoices to the computerized sales ledger. She then files the invoices alphabetically by customer name. Dispatch notes are not retained because filing space is limited. Miss Ines opens the post daily and lists remittances received from credit customers. Every Friday, she inputs the information listed to the sales ledger. Cheques received are banked daily by the executive director.



Miss Ines reviews the sales ledger balances every month and writes to customers who have not paid within 90 days of receiving goods. The sales ledger is printed out annually for year-end purposes. Otherwise, no hard copy is printed, and Miss Ines reviews the sales ledger on the computer screen. The company's computer package includes the facility to produce a sales day book and sales ledger control account. These are not used because Miss Ines considers that the low volume of transactions (10-15 invoices per week) makes them unnecessary.

Tide Corporation has traditionally made a subcomponent of its major product. Annual production of 30,000 subcomponents results in the following costs: Direct materials $ 250,000 Direct labor $ 200,000 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 190,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 120,000 Tide has received an offer from an outside supplier who is willing to provide the 30,000 units of the subcomponent each year at a price of $28 per unit. Tide knows that the facilities now being used to manufacture the subcomponent could be rented to another company for $80,000 per year if the subcomponent were purchased from the outside supplier. There would be no effect of this decision on the total fixed manufacturing overhead of the company. Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. At what price per unit charged by the outside supplier would Tide be indifferent between making or buying the subcomponent
