Juanita Company must decide whether to make or buy some of its components for the appliances it produces. The costs of producing 166,000 electrical cords for its appliances are as follows: $90,000 $32,000 $20,000 $24,000 Direct materials Variable overhead Direct labor Fixed overhead Instead of making the electrical cords at an average cost per unit of $1.00 ($166,000/166,000), the company has an opportunity to buy the cords at $0.90 per unit. If the company purchases the cords, all variable costs will be eliminated. What is the total relevant cost per unit in deciding either to buy or produce the component? After considering the incremental costs and benefits, should the company continue to produce or buy the cords from the supplier?

Jean and Tom Perritz own and manage Happy Home Helpers, Inc. (HHH), a house-cleaning service. Each cleaning (cleaning one house one time) takes a team of three house cleaners about 1.5 hours. On average, HHH completes about 15,000 cleanings per year. The following total costs are associated with the total cleanings: Next year, HHH expects to purchase 25,600 of direct materials. Projected beginning and ending inventories for direct materials are as follows: There is no work-in-process inventory and no finished goods inventory; in other words, a cleaning is started and completed on the same day. HHH expects to sell 15,000 cleanings at a price of 45 each next year. Total selling expense is projected at 22,000, and total administrative expense is projected at 53,000. Required: 1. Prepare an income statement in good form. 2. What if Jean and Tom increased the price to 50 per cleaning and no other information was affected? Explain which line items in the income statement would be affected and how.
