![West Partners manufactures metal fixtures. Each fitting requires both steel and an alloy that can withstand extreme
temperatures. The following data apply to the production of the fittings for year 1:
Direct materials per unit
2.0 pounds of steel at $0.80 per pound
1.2 pounds of alloy at $16.00 per pound
Direct labor per unit
0.04 hours at $30 per hour
Overhead per unit
Indirect materials
Indirect labor
Utilities
Machine depreciation
Other overhead
Total overhead per unit
The machine depreciation and other overhead costs are fixed and are based on production of 100,000 units annually. Plant
capacity is 120,000 units annually. All other overhead costs are variable.
The following are forecast for year 2. A wage increase of 6 percent for both direct and indirect labor, which was negotiated
recently, will go into effect. Steel prices are expected to decrease by 5 percent while alloy prices are expected to increase
by 10 percent. Machine depreciation costs are expected to increase by 4 percent. All other unit overhead costs are
expected to remain constant.

West Partners expects to sell 84,000 units in year 2. The current Inventory of fittings is 8,000 units. Management is
forecasting much higher sales volume in year 3, so wants to have 11,000 units on hand by the end of year 2. Steel and alloy
Inventories will not change. Sales are approximately uniform over the year.
Required:
a. Prepare a production budget for the coming year.
b. Estimate the direct materials, direct labor, and overhead costs for the coming year.
