The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are deemed unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars.

Required:

1.

What is the total amount of traceable fixed manufacturing overhead for the Alpha product line and for the Beta product line?

2.

What is the company’s total amount of common fixed expenses?

4.

Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 95,000 Betas during the current year. One of Cane’s sales representatives has found a new customer that is willing to buy 5,000 additional Betas for a price of $44 per unit. If Cane accepts the customer’s offer, how much will its profits increase or decrease?

12.

What contribution margin per pound of raw material is earned by Alpha and Beta? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

13.

Assume that Cane’s customers would buy a maximum of 85,000 units of Alpha and 65,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the company’s raw material available for production is limited to 166,000 pounds. How many units of each product should Cane produce to maximize its profits?

14.

Assume that Cane’s customers would buy a maximum of 85,000 units of Alpha and 65,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the company’s raw material available for production is limited to 166,000 pounds. What is the maximum contribution margin Cane Company can earn given the limited quantity of raw materials?

15.
