Spencer Chemical Corporation produces an oil-based chemical product which it sells to paint manufacturers. In 2019, the company incurred $344,000 of costs to produce 40,000 gallons of the chemical. The selling price of the chemical is $12.00 per gallon. The costs per unit to manufacture a gallon of the chemical are presented below: Direct materials $6.00 Direct labor 1.20 Variable manufacturing overhead .80 Fixed manufacturing overhead .60 Total manufacturing costs $8.60 The company is considering manufacturing the paint itself. If the company processes the chemical further and manufactures the paint itself, the following additional costs per gallon will be incurred: Direct materials $1.70, Direct labor $.60, Variable manufacturing overhead $.50. No increase in fixed manufacturing overhead is expected. The company can sell the paint at $15.50 per gallon. Determine the incremental per gallon increase in net income and the total increase in net income if the company manufactures the paint. (

Total incremental net income = $28,000

Incremental per gallon increase in net income = $0.70 per unit

Explanation:

a. The preparation of incremental statement to find out the increase in net income

Total production                                  $140,000

Less:

Incremental cost

Direct material              $68,000

($1.70 × 40,000 gallons)

Direct labor                  $24,000

($0.60 × 40,000 gallons)

Variable manufacturing

overhead                     $20,000

($0.50 × 40,000 gallons)

Total incremental cost                      ($112,000)

Total incremental net income          $28,000

b. Incremental per gallon increase in net income = Total incremental net income ÷ Total quantity

= $28,000 ÷ 40,000 gallons

= $0.70 per unit

Therefore the total incremental net income is $28,000 and incremental per gallon increase in net income is $0.70 per unit.

b. a single paragraph.

a paragraph is a series of sentences that are organized and make sense, and are all related to a single topic . almost every piece of writing you do that is longer than a few sentences should be organized into paragraphs. this is because paragraphs show a reader where the subdivisions of an essay begin and end, and thus the reader see the organization of the essay into subjects in order to be able to understand its main points.
