Barrus
Corporation makes 38,000 motors to be used in the productions of its power
lawn mowers. The average cost per motor at this level of activity is as
follows:

Direct materials

$9.70

Direct labor

$8.70

Variable manufacturing
overhead

$3.55

Fixed manufacturing
overhead

$4.50

This motor
has recently become available from an outside supplier for $24.55 per motor.
If Barrus decides not to make the motors, none of the fixed manufacturing
overhead would be avoidable and there would be no other use for the
facilities. If Barrus decides to continue making the motor, how much higher
or lower will the company’s net operating income be than if the motors are
purchased from the outside supplier? Assume that direct labor is a variable
cost in this company.

Eley Corporation produces a single product. The cost of
producing and selling a single unit of this product at the company’s normal
activity level of 43,000 units per month is as follows:

Direct materials

$44.10

Direct labor

$8.40

Variable manufacturing
overhead

$1.40

Fixed manufacturing
overhead

$17.90

Variable selling &
administrative expense

$2.40

Fixed selling &
administrative expense

$11

The normal selling price of the
product is $92.10 per unit.

An order has been received from an overseas customer for
2,300 units to be delivered this month at a special discounted price. This
order would have no effect on the company’s normal sales and would not change
the total amount of the company’s fixed costs. The variable selling and
administrative expense would be $1.50 less per unit on this order than on
normal sales.

Direct labor is a variable cost in
this company.

Suppose there is ample idle capacity to produce the units
required by the overseas customer and the special discounted price on the
special order is $79.40 per unit. By how much would this special order
increase (decrease) the company’s net operating income for the month?
