P7-5A – Prepare incremental analysis concerning elimination of divisions.P8-1A – Use cost-plus pricing to determine various amountsProblem P7-5A Gutierrez Company has four operating divisions. During the first quarter of 2014, the company reported aggregate income from operations of $2,13,000 and the following divisional results. Division I II III IV Sales $2,50,000 $2,00,000 $5,00,000 $4,50,000 Cost of goods sold Direct labor costs 2,00,000 1,92,000 3,00,000 2,50,000 Selling and administrative expenses Machine hours 75,000 60,000 60,000 50,000 Income (loss) from operations Setup hours ($25,000) ($52,000) $1,40,000 $1,50,000 Analysis reveals the following percentages of variable costs in each division.

P8-1A – Use cost-plus pricing to determine various amounts Managerial Accounting, 6th Edition, by Weygandt, Kieso, and Kimmel Primer on Using Microsoft Excel in Accounting by Rex A Schildhouse Problem P8-1A Dewitt Corporation needs to set a target price for its newly designed product M14-M16. The following data relate to this new product. Per unit Total Direct materials $20.00 Direct labor 40.00 Variable manufacturing overhead 10.00 Fixed manufacturing overhead $14,40,000 Variable selling and administrative expenses 5.00 Fixed selling and administrative expenses 9,60,000 These costs are based on a budgeted volume of 80,000 units produced and sold each year.Dewitt uses cost-plus pricing methods to set its target selling price. The markup on total unit cost is 30% Instructions: (a)(1) Compute the total variable cost per unit for M14-M16. Title Amount Title Amount Title Amount Title Amount Title Formula (a)(2) Compute the total fixed cost per unit for M14-M16. Total Costs ÷ Budgeted Volume = Cost per Unit Title Amount ÷ Quantity = Formula Title Amount ÷ Quantity = Formula Title Amount ÷ Quantity = Formula (a)(3) Compute the total cost per unit for M14-M16. Title Amount Title Amount Title Formula (b) Compute the desired ROI per unit for M14-M16. Title Amount Title Percentage Title Formula (c) Compute the target selling price for M14-M16. Title Amount Title Amount Title Formula (d) Compute variable cost per unit, fixed cost per unit, and total cost per unit assuming that 60,000 M14-M16s are sold during the year.
