A company has a contribution margin of 40%. Sales are $312,500, net operating income is $25,000, and average operating assets are $200,000. What is the company’s return on investment (ROI)?

A company, which applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of machine-hours, has provided the following data for its most recent year of operations.        Estimated manufacturing overhead $ 157,050 Estimated machine-hours   4,500 Actual manufacturing overhead $ 156,000 Actual machine-hours   4,580  The estimates of the manufacturing overhead and of machine-hours were made at the beginning of the year for the purpose of computing the company’s predetermined overhead rate for the year.The applied manufacturing overhead for the year is closest to:

A company currently manufactures a component part that it uses in its products.

If the company accepts this offer, they will be able to use the freed up space to generate an additional $40,000 of income each year to produce more of another product. Only $3 per part of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost above could be avoided. Direct labor is an avoidable cost in this decision. Based on this information, would the company be financially better off making the component parts or buying them and by how much?
