DK manufactures three products, W, X and Y. Each product uses the same materials and the same type of direct labour but in different quantities. The company currently uses a cost plus basis to determine the selling price of its products. This is based on full cost using an overhead absorption rate per direct labour hour. However, the managing director is concerned that the company may be losing sales because of its approach to setting prices. He thinks that a marginal costing approach may be more appropriate, particularly since the workforce is guaranteed a minimum weekly wage and has a three month notice period. Required: a) Given the managing director's concern about DK's approach to setting selling prices, discuss the advantages and disadvantages of marginal cost plus pricing AND total cost-plus pricing. The direct costs of the three products are shown below: Product W Y Budgeted annual production (units) 15,000 24,000 20,000 $ per unit $ per unit $ per unit Direct materials 35 40…

Setup, production-order, and materials-handling costs that vary with the number of batches b. Manufacturing-operations costs that vary with machine-hours c. Costs of engineering changes that vary with the number of engineering changes made In response to competitive pressures at the end of 2016, Techno Instruments used value-engineering techniques to reduce manufacturing costs. Actual information for 2016 and 2017 is as follows: 2016 2017 Setup, production-order, and materials-handling costs per batch $8,600 $7,800 Total manufacturing-operations cost per machine-hour $59 $53 Cost per engineering change $18,750 $14,000 The management of Techno Instruments wants to evaluate whether value engineering has succeeded in reducing the target manufacturing cost per unit of one…
