Decision making problems in Marginal Costing


Make or Buy decision
1.A radio manufacturing company finds that while it costs Rs.6.25 to make component R518, the same is available in the market at Rs.5.75 each, with an assurance of continued
supply. The break-down of the cost is:
Rs.
Materials
2.75 each
Labor
1.75 each
Other variables
0.50 each
Depreciation and other fixed costs 1.25 each
6.25
(a) Should you make or buy?
(b) What would be your decision, if the supplier offered the component at Rs.4.85
each?
2. Auto parts Ltd. Has an annual production of 90,000 units for a motor component. The
component cost structure is as below:
Materials
270 per unit
Labor (25% fixed)
180 per unit
Expenses:
Variable
90 per unit
Fixed
135 per unit
Total
675 per unit
(a) The purchase manager has an offer from a supplier who is willing to supply the
component at Rs.540. should the component be purchased and production
stopped?
(b) Assume the resources now used for this components manufacture are to be used
to produce another new product for which the selling price is Rs.485.
In the latter case, the material price will be Rs.200 per unit. 90,000 units of this
product can be produced at the same cost basis as above for labor and expenses.
Discuss whether it would be advisable to divert the resources to manufacture that
new product, on the footing that the component presently being produced would,
instead of being produced, be purchased from the market.
Product mix / Sales mix decision
1. The following production/sales mix are capable of achievement in a factory:
(i)
2,000 units of product A and 2,000 units of product C.
(ii)
4,000 units of product B.
(iii) 1,000 units of product A, 2,000 units of product B and 1,600 units of
product C.
Cost per unit is as follows:
A
B
C
Direct Materials Rs.
20
16
40
Direct wages Rs.
8

Fixed cost is Rs 20,000 and variable overheads per unit of A,B and C are Rs.2,
Rs.4, and Rs.8 respectively. Selling prices of A, B and C are Rs.36, Rs.40, and
Rs.100 per unit respectively.

3 .A manufacturing company produces and sells three products P, Q and R. it has an
available machine hour capacity of one lakh hours, interchangeable among the three
products. Presently the company produces and sells 20,000 units of P and 15,000 each of
Q and R. the unit selling price of the three products are Rs.25, Rs.32 and Rs.42 for P, Q
