1.
1. Normal Production:
Peoria Contribution Margin per unit: $64 ($150 - $72 - $14)
Moline Contribution Margin per unit: $48 ($150 - $88 - $14)
Overtime Production:
Peoria Contribution Margin per unit: $61 ($150 - $72 - $3 - $14)
Moline Contribution Margin per unit: $40 ($150 - $88 - $8 - $14)
2. Peoria Fixed Cost: $4,704,000 ($30 + $19 x 96,000 (400 x 240))
Moline Fixed Cost: $2,265,600 ($15 + $14.50 x 76,800 (320 x 240))
3. Peoria Breakeven Point: 73,500 units ($4,704,000 (FC) / $64 (CM))
Moline Breakeven Point: 47,200 units ($2,265,600 (FC) / $48 (CM))
2.
1. Peoria Normal Production: 96,000 units (400 x 240)
Moline Normal Production: 76,800 units (320 x 240)
Total Normal Production: 172,800 units (96,000 + 76,800)
Manager’s plan is short by 19,200 units (192,000 - 172,800) if both plants operate at their normal production maximum. Moline would be required to work overtime production of 300 days a year to arrive at the desired units.
2. Normal Production:
Peoria Contribution Margin: $6,144,000 ($150 - $72 - $14 x 96,000)
Moline Contribution Margin: $3,686,400 ($150 - $88 - $14 x 76,800)
Overtime Production:
Moline Additional Contribution Margin: $768,000 ($150 - $88 -$8 - $14 x 19,200)

Moline Operating Income: $1,622,400 ($4,454,400 (CM) - $2,832,000 (FC))

Moline Units: 72,000 units (320 x 225)
Peoria Contribution Margin: $6,144,000 ($150 - $72 - $14 x 96,000)
