| Glass company manufactures glasses that it sells to mail-order distributors. | ||||
| Sales price per pair of glasses: | $62 | |||
| Manufacturing and other costs follow: | ||||
| Variable Cost per unit | ||||
| Direct Materials | $13 | |||
| Direct labor | 12 | |||
| Factory overhead | 2 | |||
| Distribution | 3 | |||
| Total Variable costs | $30 | |||
| Fixed costs per month | ||||
| Factory overhead | $20,000 | |||
| Selling and Administrative | 10,000 | |||
| Total Fixed costs | $30,000 | |||
| Current monthly production and sales volume | 6,000 | units | ||
| Monthly capacity | 7000 | units | ||
| Additional information: The variable distribution costs are for transportation to mail-order distributors. | ||||
| Required: Determine the effect of each of the following 3 independent situations on monthly profits. | ||||
| Make sure you show your computations to provide the monthly change in income and give a recommendation to management if they should accept the change. | ||||
| #1 A $3 increase in the unit selling price should result in a 1,000-unit decrease in monthly sales | ||||
| #2 A 10% decrease in the unit selling price should result in a 2,000-unit increase in monthly sales. | ||||
| However, because of capacity constraints, the last 1,000 units would be produced during overtime with the | ||||
| direct labor costs increasing by 40%. | ||||
| #3 a British distributor has proposed to place a special one-time order for 1,000 units at a reduced | ||||
| price of $57 per unit. The distributor would pay all transportation costs, so there are no variable distribution costs. | ||||
| There would be additional fixed selling and administrative costs of $1,000. | ||||
