Andretti Company has a single product called a Dak. The company normally produces and sells 84,000 Daks each year at a selling price of $58 per unit. The company’s unit costs at this level of activity are given below:
Direct materials | $ | 9.50 | |
Direct labor | 10.00 | ||
Variable manufacturing overhead | 2.70 | ||
Fixed manufacturing overhead | 5.00 | ($420,000 total) | |
Variable selling expenses | 1.70 | ||
Fixed selling expenses | 3.50 | ($294,000 total) | |
Total cost per unit | $ | 32.40 | |
Due to a strike in its supplier’s plant, Andretti Company is
unable to purchase more material for the production of Daks. The
strike is expected to last for two months. Andretti Company has
enough material on hand to operate at 25% of normal levels for the
two-month period. As an alternative, Andretti could close its plant
down entirely for the two months. If the plant were closed, fixed
manufacturing overhead costs would continue at 40% of their normal
level during the two-month period and the fixed selling expenses
would be reduced by 20% during the two-month period. (Round number
of units produced to the nearest whole number. Round your
intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.
Any losses/reductions should be indicated by a minus sign.) THANK YOU :) Please show work so I can learn. |
