This managerial accounting assignment analyzes the contribution margin of three different manufacturing plants (Northcote, Preston, and Brunswick). Students calculate the contribution per unit for each plant based on provided data. They then recommend a production strategy to maximize profits, considering the contribution per unit from each plant. The analysis also highlights the limitations of using only variable costs in decision-making, suggesting further considerations like fixed costs and potential cost reduction strategies.

Manufacturing Plant Cost Analysis

This presentation provides a cost volume profit analysis for Cisco Manufacturing Pty Ltd. to determine the optimal production levels for its three plants. The analysis includes calculation of contribution margin per unit, breakeven point, operating income for equal units of production, and profit maximising allocation of production units. The presentation recommends that Preston plant should produce the maximum radiators as it has the highest contribution margin under all the capacity levels. The remaining units should be produced by the other two plants. Between Northcote and Brunswick, Northcote has a lower cost structure and should operate at minimum capacity. The remaining units would be produced by Brunswick under minimum capacity.

Managerial Accounting: Techniques, Calculations and Applications

A company is considering a special order that would require it to sell 20,000 units at $1.4 and the remaining 740,000 units at $2.2, which could impact its profit. The company's current production and sales of canisters result in a profit of $532,000 per year. However, producing coffee cups results in a small profit of $60,000. The calculations suggest that the company should not accept the special order as it would incur a terminal loss. Additionally, producing only canisters could lead to an even higher profit. Finally, considering non-financial aspects such as quality, delivery time, and reputation before making a decision is crucial.
