| Part 2 contains 3 Decision making recommendations that are independent of each other. Covers material in Module 17 | |||
| 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. | |||
