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.
