C.The owners of Dynamics, Inc. has engaged you to assist them in arriving at certain decisions.
Dynamics maintains its home office in Manila and rents factory plants in Bulacan, Laguna and
Naga, all of which produce the same product.
The management of Dynamics provided you with a projection of operations for 2020 as follows:
TOTAL Bulacan Laguna Naga
Sales P 2,200,000 P 1,100,000 P 700,000 P 400,000
Variable costs 725,000 332,500 212,500 180,000

Factory 550,000 280,000 140,000 130,000

Net profit from operations 500,000 270,000 205,000 25,000
The sales price per unit is P12.50.
Due to the poor results of operations of the plant in Naga, Dynamics has decided to cease
operations and offer the plant’s machinery and equipment for sale by the end of 2020. The
company expects to sell these assets at a good price to cover all termination costs.
.Dynamics, however, wishes to continue serving its customers in Naga and is considering one of
the following three alternatives:
1. Expand the operations of Laguna plant by using space presently idle. This move would
result in the following changes in that plant operations;
Increase over plant’s current operations
Sales 50%
Fixed costs – factory 20%
– administrative 10%
Under this proposal, variable costs would be P4.00 per unit sold.
2. Enter into a long-term contract with another company who will serve the area’s
customers. This company will pay Dynamics a royalty of P2.00 per unit based upon an
estimate of 30,000 units being sold.
3. Close the Naga plant and not expand the operations of the Laguna plant.
The total home office costs of P250,000 will remain the same under each situation.
3. The estimated net profit from total operations of Dynamics, Inc. that would result from
expansion of Laguna plant (Alternative 1) is
a. P425,000 b. P485,000 c. P535,000 d. P618,000
4. The estimated net profit from total operations of Dynamics, Inc. that would result from
negotiation of long-term contract on a royalty basis (Alternative No. 2) is
a. P425,000 b. P485,000 c. P535,000 d. P560,000
5.. The estimated net profit from total operations of Dynamics, Inc. that would result from
shutdown of Naga plant with no expansion of other locations (Alternative No. 3) is
a. P330,000 b. P345,000 c. P425,000 d. P475,000
