The Current Designs staff has prepared the annual manufacturing budget for the rotomolded line based on an estimated annual production of 3,960 kayaks during 2020. Each kayak will require 56 pounds of polyethylene powder and a finishing kit (rope, seat, hardware, etc.). The polyethylene powder used in these kayaks costs $1.00 per pound, and the finishing kits cost $150 each. Each kayak will use two kinds of labor-2 hours of type I labor from people who run the oven and trim the plastic, and 3 hours of work from type II workers who attach the hatches and seat and other hardware. The type I employees are paid $19 per hour, and the type II are paid $16 per hour. Manufacturing overhead is budgeted at $381,520 for 2020, broken down as follows. Variable costs Indirect materials Manufacturing supplies Maintenance and utilities Fixed costs Supervision Insurance Depreciation Total Polyethylene powder Finishing kits Type I labor Type II labor Indirect materials Manufacturing supplies Maintenance and utilities Supervision Insurance Depreciation $39,600 55,440 Total 91,080 186,120 During the first quarter, ended March 31, 2020, 1,040 units were actually produced with the following costs. 74,000 13,200 108,200 195,400 $381,520 $59,900 156,370 39,520 51,080 10,400 14,604 26,830 16,400 3,300 27,050 $405,454
