P 4.10 Crawford sells three types of games to national
toy companies. These games are known internally as Gamma, Omega, and
Lambda. Recently the Gamma and Lambda
lines have not shown acceptable profits. The most recent
monthly results are:
Gamma Omega Lambda Unit sales 1,800 400 1,500 Sales $900
$1,200 $1,500 Cost of goods sold 810 600 1,245 Gross margin 90 600 255
Selling and administrative cost 204
218 240 Profit $(114) $ 382 $ 15
Additional analysis reveals that $150 per month in
facility-sustaining selling and administrative cost is charged to each
product line. The
remaining costs are assumed to vary directly with the
number of units sold. Crawford is analyzing the following alternatives:
1. Discontinue the Gamma line and increase
advertising at a cost of $10 per month for the Lambda line. This is
expected
to increase Lambda sales by 20 percent.
2. Discontinue the Gamma and Lambda lines and
focus solely on the Omega line. This is expected to increase Omega sales
by 40 percent.
3. Increase promotion of both the Gamma and
Lambda lines. The promotion will increase selling costs by $25 per month
for
each line. Unit sales of Gamma are expected to increase
by 15 percent while unit sales of Lambda are expected to increase by 10
percent.
4. Do nothing. Leave the Gamma, Lambda, and Omega lines as they are.
Required:
A. Evaluate each alternative. Which alternative is best for Crawford Company?
B. What additional factors should Crawford consider before making this decision?
P 5.4 Bunkowske Company plans to introduce a new product

costs. Determine the selling price of
this product.
P 5.9 Praeuner Company has surveyed the market and set a
target selling price of $2,000 per unit for its product. Praeuner
believes it can sell 100,000 units of
this product over its two-year life. Praeuner requires a

the following budgeted cost data:
Unit cost $ 1,200
Batch cost (batch size = 1,000) 15,000
Product-sustaining cost (annual) 480,000
Facility-sustaining cost (annual) 900,000
In addition to the previous costs, Praeuner will incur
$5,000,000 in research and development costs before the product is
manufactured. Required:
A. What is the total target cost for this product's life?
B. What is the total budgeted cost for this product over its two-year life?
