Monthly Unit Sales
March
3,100
April
7,100
May
11,200
June
9,200

Total units sold
If seasonal production is used, it is assumed that inventory will directly match sales for each month and there will be no inventory buildup.
The production manager thinks the preceding assumption is too optimistic and decides to go with level production to avoid being out of merchandise. He will produce the 30,600 units over four months at a level of 7,650 per month.
a. What is the ending inventory at the end of each month? Compare the unit sales to the units produced and keep a running total.
b. If the inventory costs $12 per unit and will be financed at the bank at a cost of 6 percent, what is the monthly financing cost and the total for the four months? (Use .5 percent as the monthly rate.)

Because demand has seasonal variations it is difficult to schedule production to keep costs to a minimum.Next year, managemant estimates that the demand for the hard drives will be 45000 units in the first quarter followed by 70000, 80000, and 200000 in the second, third, and forth quarters. The company's production capacity is restricted to 123000 units per quater. During the slow seasons the company must produce extra hard drives and store them in inventory to help meet demand during the high seasons, particularly during the forth quarter because Christmas sales makes this the highest sales quarter of the year.The production cost of a hard drive is £20 per unit and the company policy is to charge an inventory holding cost of £1.6 per hard drive per quarter for each unit in inventory at the beginning of a quarter.

- Yacama Shades supplies sun-blocking shades to home remodeling supply stores such as Home Depot and Lowes as well as discounters such as Walmart. The CFO is worried about Inflation and the effect on Yacama Shades financial results. The variable production costs are $150, and fixed costs amount to $2 million. Production engineers have advised management that they expect unit labor costs to rise by 10 percent and unit materials costs to rise by 25 percent in the coming year. Of the $150 variable costs, 50 percent are from labor and 20 percent are from materials. Variable overhead costs are expected to Increase by 20 percent. Sales prices cannot Increase more than 6 percent. It is also expected that fixed costs will rise by 13.0 percent as a result of Increased taxes and other miscellaneous fixed charges. Presently, the company sells 30,000 units for $400 per unit. The company wishes to maintain the same level of profit in real dollar terms. It is expected that to accomplish this…arrow_forwardEgress, Inc., is a small company that designs, produces, and sells ski jackets and other coats. The creative design team has labored for weeks over its new design for the coming winter season. It is now time to decide how many ski jackets to produce in this production run. Because of the lead times involved, no other production runs will be possible during the season. Predicting ski jacket sales months in advance of the selling season can be quite tricky. Egress has been in operation for only three years, and its ski jacket designs were quite successful intwo of those years. Based on realized sales from the last three years, current economic conditions, and professional judgment, 12 Egress employees have independently estimated demand for their new design for the upcoming season. Their estimates are listed in Table 15.2.

Each unit uses one direct labor hour for production. The president of Kimball Company has recently implemented a policy that any special orders will be accepted if they cover the costs that the orders cause. This policy was implemented because Kimballs industry is in a recession and the company is producing well below capacity (and expects to continue doing so for the coming year). The president is willing to accept orders that minimally cover their variable costs so that the company can keep its employees and avoid layoffs. Also, any orders above variable costs will increase overall profitability of the company. Required: 1. Compute the total unit variable cost. Suppose that Kimball has an opportunity to accept an order for 20,000 units at 220 per unit. Should Kimball accept the order? (The order would not displace any of Kimballs regular orders.) 2. Explain the significance of the coefficient of correlation measures for the cost formulas. Did these measures have a bearing on your answer in Requirement 1? Should they have a bearing? Why or why not? 3. Suppose that a multiple regression equation is developed for overhead costs: Y = 100,000 + 100X1 + 5,000X2 + 300X3, where X1 = direct labor hours, X2 = number of setups, and X3 = engineering hours. The coefficient of determination for the equation is 0.94. Assume that the order of 20,000 units requires 12 setups and 600 engineering hours. Given this new information, should the company accept the special order referred to in Requirement 1? Is there any other information about cost behavior that you would like to have? Explain.arrow_forward
- Cash is running low, and Patience is working against the clock to purchase DM for the final month's production push. Each unit requires 7 pounds of material, with each pound costing $0.40. The company's target ending inventory for DM is 20% of the next month's production needs, and it expects to hold just that amount of inventory on November 30. Planned production in December and January is expected to be 1,000 units and 1,200 units, respectively. Prepare the DM purchases budget for December, determining both the quantity to be purchased and the total cost of purchases for the company. (Round DM cost per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.)
