Lantto Air uses two measures of activity, flights and passengers, in the cost formulas in its flexible budgets. The cost formula for plane operating costs is $34,810 per month plus $2,850 per flight plus $12 per passenger. The company expected its activity in June to be 70 flights and 292 passengers, but the actual activity was 69 flights and 291 passengers. The actual cost for plane operating costs in June was $236,550. The plane operating costs in the flexible budget for June would be closest to:

A study has been conducted to determine if Product A should be dropped. Sales of the product total $200,000 per year; variable expenses total $140,000 per year. Fixed expenses charged to the product total $90,000 per year. The company estimates that $40,000 of these fixed expenses will continue even if the product is dropped. These data indicate that if Product A is dropped, the company’s overall net operating income would:

Pitkin Company produces a part used in the manufacture of one of its products. The unit product cost of the part is $33, computed as follows:
An outside supplier has offered to provide the annual requirement of 10,000 of the parts for only $27 each. The company estimates that 30% of the fixed manufacturing overhead costs above will continue if the parts are purchased from the outside supplier. Assume that direct labor is an avoidable cost in this decision. Based on these data, the per unit dollar advantage or disadvantage of purchasing the parts from the outside supplier would be:
