2. It costs Chapman Company $18.40 of variable and $3.75 of fixed costs to produce one bathroom scale, which normally sells for $47.00. A foreign wholesaler offers to purchase 4,000 scales at $26.90 each. Chapman would incur special shipping costs of $2.75 per scale if the order were accepted.

B) $23,000 increase
C) $8,000 increase
D) $23,000 decrease

4000 scales x ($26.90 sale price – $18.40 variable cost – $3.75 fixed cost – $2.75 shipping) = 4000 x $2 = $8,000 increase to net income

6. Mesh Merchandising Company expects to purchase $86,000 of materials in July and $118,000 of materials in August. 21ree-quarters of all purchases are paid for in the month of purchase, and the other one-fourth are paid for in the month following the month of purchase.

11. Kalamoo produces several products that can be sold at the split-off point or then sold processed further.

The following results are from a recent period:
Product  Sales Value At Split-Off  Additional Variable Costs Sales Value After Further Processing
Green Lumber  75,200    12,000    86,200

Which products should be processed further?
A) All three products
B) Green lumber and rough lumber
C) Rough lumber and sawdust
D) Green lumber and sawdust

Only green lumber should not be processed further since the sales value at split-off $75,200 + additional variable costs $12,000 = $87,200 which is more than the sales value after further processing of $86,200.

19. Lytle Company reported the following information for 2013:
