Chapter 11, Problem 11.35P
Short-run pricing, capacity constraints. Fashion Fabrics makes pants from a special material. The fabric is special because of the way it fits many body types. The pants sell for $142. A well-known retail establishment has asked Fashion Fabrics to produce 3,000 shorts from the same fabric. The factory has unused capacity, so Barbara Brooks, the owner of Fashion Fabrics, calculates the cost of making a pair of shorts from the fabric. Costs for the pants and shorts are as follows:
| Pants | Shorts | |
| Fabric (6 yds. × $12; 3 yds. × $12) | $ 72 | 36 |
| Variable direct manufacturing labor | 20 | 10 |
| Variable manufacturing |
8 | 4 |
| Fixed |
15 | 9 |
| Total manufacturing cost | $115 | $59 |
- 1. Suppose Fashion Fabrics can acquire all the fabric that it needs. What is the minimum price the company should charge for the shorts?
- 2. Now suppose that the fabric is in short supply. Every yard of fabric Fashion Fabrics uses to make shorts will reduce the pants that it can make and sell. What is the minimum price the company should charge for the shorts?

A natural area for the company to consider is the production of winter lotions and creams to prevent dry and chapped skin. After considerable research, a winter products line has been developed. However, Silven's president has decided to introduce only one of the new products for this coming winter. If the product is a success, further expansion in future years will be initiated. The product selected (called Chap-Off) is a lip balm that will be sold in a lipstick-type tube. The product will be sold to wholesalers in boxes of 24 tubes for $13 per box. Because of excess capacity, no additional fixed manufacturing overhead costs will be incurred to produce the product. However, a $96,000 charge for fixed manufacturing overhead will be absorbed by the product under the company's absorption costing system.…arrow_forwardSixthZ makes custom cornhole boards and mass-produced bean bags for the cornhole boards, which are also separately sold.
