Chapter 11, Problem 11.41BE

1.

To determine

To calculate: The standard cost per batch of 10,000 bottles using the current data (before the company makes any changes) including direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead in the standard cost per unit.

2.

To determine

To calculate: The standard cost per batch of 10,000 bottles if the company makes the changes to the bottle design and production process so that less plastic is used including direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead in the standard cost per unit.

3.

To determine

To calculate: The cost savings per batch by comparing the standard cost per batch under each scenario (current versus proposed change).

To find: The number of batches of bottles which would need to be produced after the change to have the cost savings total equal the cost to make the changes.

4.

To determine

The benefits which might arise from making this change to using less plastic in the manufacture of the bottles.
