Sales dropped by 20% during year 2 due to the entry of several foreign competitors into the market. ElectronPlus had expected sales
to remain constant at 57,000 units for the year, production was set at 67,000 units in order to build a buffer against unexpected spurts
in demand. By the start of year 3, management could see that spurts in demand were unlikely and that the inventory was excessive. To
work off the excessive Inventories, ElectronPlus cut back production during year 3, as shown below:

Transcribed Image Text:Additional Information about the company follows:
a. The company's plant is highly automated. Variable manufacturing costs (direct materials, direct labour, and variable manufacturing
overhead) total only $4 per unit, and fixed manufacturing overhead costs total $583,000 per year.
b. Fixed manufacturing overhead costs are applied to units of product on the basis of each year's planned production. (That is, a new
fixed overhead rate is computed each year).
c. Variable selling and administrative expenses are $2 per unit sold. Fixed selling and administrative expenses total $69,700 per year.
d. The company uses a FIFO inventory flow assumption.
The management of ElectronPlus can't understand why profits tripled during year 2 when sales dropped by 20%, and why a loss was
incurred during year 3 when sales recovered to previous levels.
