1. Unit contribution margin = $10 ($200,000 ÷ 20,000).
Break-even point in units = 12,000 units ($120,000 ÷ $10).

2. Additional units to be sold = 2,000 units ($20,000 ÷ $10).

Fixed expenses 120,000
Expected net income $130,000

Additional units: 20,000 × 25% = 5,000
Additional CM: 5,000 × $10 = $50,000
Additional net income: $80,000 + $50,000 = $130,000

4. Contribution margin ratio = 40% ($200,000 ÷ $500,000).

Sales dollars necessary = $675,000 [($120,000 + $150,000) ÷ .4].

Problem B - III — Solution

(a) If Taner has excess capacity, then its opportunity cost is zero. In this case, the minimum
transfer price is:
Minimum transfer price = $38 + $0 = $38.

(b) The minimum transfer price is equal to Taner’s variable cost plus its opportunity cost. In this
case, the minimum transfer price is:
Minimum transfer price = $38 + ($82 – $38) = $82.

Purchase price 110,000 (110,000)
Total cost $150,000 $160,000 $ (10,000)

Knox Manufacturing should continue to make the assembly part because net income will be
$10,000 less if the part is purchased.

(b) Yes, the answer now would be to buy the part. The $25,000 is the opportunity cost. In the
above analysis, it should be added to the Make column. In such case, net income of $15,000
($175,000 – $160,000) would be realized by buying the part.
