Chapter 21, Problem 2CP

The Savannah Shirt Company makes two types of T-shirts: basic and custom. Basic shirts are plain shirts without any screen printing on them. Custom shirts are created using the basic shirts and then adding a custom screen printing design.
I he company buys cloth in various colors and then makes the basic shirts in two departments, Cutting and Sewing. The company uses a process costing system (weighted-average method) to determine the production cost of the basic shirts. In the Cutting Department, direct materials (cloth) are added at the beginning of the Process and conversion costs are added evenly through the process. In the Sewing Department, no direct materials are added. The only additional material, thread is considered an indirect material because it cannot be easily traced to the finished Product. Conversion costs are added evenly throughout the process in the Sewing Department. The finished basic shirts are sold to retail stores or are sent to the Custom Design Department for custom screen printing.
The Custom Design Department creates custom shirts. In adding the basic shirt. The department creates a design based on the customer’s request and then print to four colors. Because these shirts lave the custom printing added, which is unique for each order, the additional cost incurred is determined using job order costing, which each custom order considered a separate job.

Department	Item	Amount	Units
Cutting	Beginning balance Started in March	$ o	0 shirts 1,500 shirts
	Direct materials added in March	4,905
	Conversion costs	2,445
	Completed and transferred to Sewing	???	1,500 shirts
	Ending balance	0	0 shirts
Sewing	Beginning balance, transferred in, $1,225; conversion costs, $300	1,525	250 shirts
	Transferred in from Cutting	???	???
	Conversion costs added in March	$ 1,650
	Completed and transferred to Finished Goods	???	1,250 shirts
	Ending balance, 75% complete	???	???

For the same time period, the Savannah Shirt Company compiled the following data for the Custom Design Department:

Job	Quantity	Design Fee	Printing	Status
367	50	Yes	4 colors	Complete
368	250	No	2 colors	Complete
369	1 50	Yes	3 colors	Complete
370	100	Yes	2 colors	Complete

The Savannah Shirt Company has previously determined that creating and programming the design cost $75 per design. This is a one-time charge. If a customer places another order with the same design, the customer is not charged a second time. Additionally, the cost to print is $0.50 per color per shirt.

Requirements

1. Complete a production cost report for the Cutting Department and the Sewing Department. What is the cost of one basic shirt?

1. Determine the total cost and the average cost per shirt for jobs 367, 368, 369, and 370. If the company set the sales price at 160% of the total cost, determine the total sales price of each job.
2. In addition to the custom jobs, the Savannah Shirt Company sold 1,250 basic shirts (assume the beginning balance in Finished Goods Inventory is sufficient to make these sales, and the unit cost of the basic shirts in Finished Goods Inventory is the same as the unit cost incurred this month). If the company set the sales price at 140% of the cost, determine the sales price per unit, total sales revenue, and the total cost of goods sold for the basic shirts.
3. Calculate the total revenue and total cost of goods sold for all sales, basic and custom.
4. - Assume the company sold only basic shins (no custom design) and incurred fixed costs of $1,403 per month.
1. Calculate die contribution margin per unit, contribution margin ratio, required sales in units to break even, and required sales in dollars 10 break even
2. Determine the margin of safety in units and dollars
3. Graph Savannah Shirt Company's CVP relationships. Show the breakeven point, the sales revenue line, the fixed cost line, the total cost line, the operating loss area, and the operating income area.
4. Suppose the Savannah Shirt Company wants to earn an operating income of $4,100 per month. Compute die required sales in units and dollar to achieve this profit goal.
5. The Savannah Shirt Company is considering adding a new product line, a cloth shopping bag with custom screen priming that will be sold to grocery stores. If the current market price of cloth shopping hags is $1.25 and the company desires a net profit of 40%, what is the target cost? The company estimates the full product cost of the cloth bags will be $0.60. Should the company manufacture die cloth bags? Why or why not?
