Product Mix
Make or Buy
Swasey Manufacturing currently produces an
electronic component used in one of its printers.
Swasey must produce 10,000 of these parts. The
firm has been approached by a supplier who
offers to build the component to Swasey’s
specifications for $4.75 per unit.

Make or Buy
The full absorption cost for the 10,000 parts is
computed as follows:
Total Cost Unit Cost
Rental of equipment $12,000 $1.20
Equipment depreciation 2,000 0.20
Direct materials 10,000 1.00
Direct labor 20,000 2.00
Variable overhead 8,000 0.80
General fixed overhead 30,000 3.00
Total $82,000 $8.20
Enough material is on hand to make 5,000 parts.

Keep-or-Drop Decisions
Tom Blackburn determines that dropping the tile section will
reduce sales in all sections as follows: $50,000 for blocks,
$64,000 for bricks, and $150,000 for roofing tile. His
summary in thousands is shown below:

1. Cost-Based Pricing
2. Target Costing and
Pricing
Cost-Based Pricing
17 -31
Revenues $856,500
Cost of goods sold:
Direct materials $489,750
Direct labor 140,000
Overhead 84,000 713,750
Gross profit $142,750
Selling and administrative expenses 25,000
Operating income $117,750
17 -32
Determining Markup Percentages
Markup on COGS =
(S & A expenses + Operating income) ÷ COGS
= ($25,000 + $117,750) ÷ $713,750
= 0.20
Markup on direct materials =
(DL + OH + S & A expenses + Oper. income) ÷ Direct mater. =
($140,000 + $84,000 + $25,000 + $117,750) ÷$489,750 = 0.749
17 -33
Determining Markup Percentages
Direct materials (computer components, etc.) $100,000
Direct labor (100 x 6 hours x $15) 9,000
Overhead (60 percent of direct labor cost) 5,400
Estimated cost of goods sold $114,400
Plus 20 percent markup of COGS 22,880
Bid price $137,280

Target Costing and Pricing
Target costing is a method of determining the cost of a
product or service based on the price (target price) that
customers are willing to pay.
