Winnebago Industries, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of recreational vehicles (RVs), including motorized and towable products. The company designs, develops, manufactures, and markets RVs as well as supporting products and services. The RVs are sold to consumers through a dealer network. On the August 29, 2015, balance sheet, Winnebago reported inventory of approximately $112 million. Of this amount, approximately $12 million, about 11 %, was Finished Goods Inventory (Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 3). Suppose Winnebago motor homes have an average sales price of $96,000 and cost of goods sold is 89% of sales. Thor Industries, Inc., a major competitor, has an average cost of goods sold of 86% of sales. For year ending August 29, 2015, Winnebago sold 9,097 motor homes (Form 10-K, Item 1 Business).

  2. 2. What is the average cost of goods sold (in dollars) for a Winnebago motor home? What is the average gross profit?
  3. 3. If Winnebago could reduce production costs so that the average cost of goods sold is equal to their competitor’s average cost of goods sold, how much more profit would Winnebago earn on each motor home sold?
  4. 4. Based on 2015 sales, how much would operating income increase if the company reduced the average cost of goods sold to equal their competitor’s average cost of goods sold?
