Perez Modems has excess production capacity and is considering the possibility of making and selling paging equipment. The following estimates are based on a production and sales volume of 2,200 pagers. Unit-level manufacturing costs are expected to be $32. Sales commissions will be established at $2.20 per unit. The current facility-level costs, including depreciation on manufacturing equipment ($72,000), rent on the manufacturing facility ($62,000), depreciation on the administrative equipment ($15,600), and other fixed administrative expenses ($77,950), will not be affected by the production of the pagers. The chief accountant has decided to allocate the facility-level costs to the existing product (modems) and to the new product (pagers) on the basis of the number of units of product made (i.e., 6,200 modems and 2,200 pagers). Required a. Determine the per-unit cost of making and selling 2,200 pagers. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) b. Assuming the pagers could be sold at a price of $46 each, should Perez make the pagers

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of the per unit cost is shown below:

= Manufacturing cost per unit + sales commission per unit

= $32 + $2.20

= $34.20

Here we just add the two cost so that the per unit cost could come

b. Yes it should make the pagers as the cost per unit would be lower than the selling price i.e, $46

Therefore the above should be relevant for the given situation
