$(55,000)
Clemson Company is trying to determine whether to discontinue the manufacture
and sale of Tams. The operating results reported above for last year are
expected to continue in the foreseeable future if the product isn’t dropped.
The fixed manufacturing overhead represents the costs of production
facilities and equipment that the Tam product shares with other products
produced by Clemson. If the Tam product were dropped, there would be no
change in the fixed manufacturing costs of the company.
Assume that discontinuing the manufacture and sale of Tams will have no
effect on the sale of other product lines. If the company discontinues the
Tam product line, the change in annual operating income (or loss) should be a
A. $65,000 decrease. B. $70,000 increase. C. $55,000 decrease. D$90,000decrease.

value $1,000. Discount rate 10%
The net present
value of the proposed investment is
A. $621. B. $0. C. $3,355. D. $(3,430).

11. Kava Inc.
manufactures industrial components. One of its products, which is used in the
construction of industrial air conditioners, is known as K65. Data concerning
this product are given below:
Per Unit
Selling price $180–Direct
materials $29–Direct labor $5—Variable manufacturing overhead $4
Fixed manufacturing
overhead $21—-Variable selling expense $2â
Fixed selling and administrative expense $17
The above per unit data are based on annual production of
4,000 units of the component. Direct labor can be considered to be a variable
cost. (Source: CMA, adapted)
The company has received a special, one-time-only order
for 500 units of component K65. There would be no variable selling expense on
this special order, and the total fixed manufacturing overhead and fixed
selling and administrative expenses of the company wouldn’t be affected by
the order. Assuming that Kava has excess capacity and can fill the order
without cutting back on the production of any product, what is the minimum
price per unit on the special order below which the company shouldn’t go?
