15. WalangLabel Company is a liquor company, the business has not been performing well this last few months due to the liquor ban imposed by the government. The company is considering whether it should shutdown temporarily for three months. The selling price and other costs of operating are presented below:

Selling price                                                          P500

   Variable manufacturing costs                             P280 per unit
   Variable selling costs                                           P60 per unit

Monthly Fixed costs:

    Manufacturing costs                                        P250,000       
    Selling costs                                                    P120,000
    Administrative costs                                        P125,000

 

If the company will temporarily close it would incur P150,000 in retrenchment costs and P80,000 in reopening costs. Manufacturing costs and selling cost would not be incurred and administrative costs of P50,000 would be avoided per month if they decide to shut down. The company expects to sell 100 units per month if it would continue to operate.
