Question: Using the information in Problem 9-58, complete the following: Current Proposed Materials and purchased parts $ 60.00 $ 15.00 Direct labor 12.50 13.75 Variable overhead

Using the information in Problem 9-58, complete the following: 


CurrentProposed
Materials and purchased parts  $ 60.00 $ 15.00
Direct labor  12.50 13.75
Variable overhead  25.00 30.00
Fixed overhead  40.00 20.00
Manufacturing information for CB3668

 Number of setups  3,000 2,300
 Batch size  50 50
 Cost per setup  $ 300 $ 300
 Machine hours  $ 88,000 $ 55,000


Required

1. Compute the breakeven in units for both the current and proposed manufacturing plans, assuming that setup costs vary with the number of batches. Assume that setup costs are the only costs that vary with the number of batches.

2. Compare your solution above to that for Problem 9-58 and interpret the difference.
