Question
Prior to the first month of operations ending October 31, Marshall Inc. estimated the following operating results:
 
1
Sales (28,800 × $75)
$2,160,000.00
2
Manufacturing costs (28,800 units):
 
3
Direct materials
1,209,600.00
4
Direct labor
316,800.00
5
Variable factory overhead
115,200.00
6
Fixed factory overhead
221,760.00
7
Fixed selling and administrative expenses
28,400.00
8
Variable selling and administrative expenses
34,900.00
 
 
 
The company is evaluating a proposal to manufacture 36,000 units instead of 28,800 units, thus creating an ending inventory of 7,200 units. Manufacturing the additional units will not change sales, unit variable factory overhead costs, total fixed factory overhead cost, or total selling and administrative expenses.
