Lotus Fixtures, Inc, manufactures steel fittings. Each fitting needs both steel and an alloy that allows the fitting to be used under extreme conditions. The subsequent data apply to the production of the fittings:
Direct materials per unit
2 pounds of steel at $0.40 per pound
0.5 pounds of alloy at $3.00 per pound
Direct labor per unit
0.01 hours at $30 per hour
Overhead per unit
Indirect materials . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $0.50
Indirect labor . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.80
Utilities . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.40
Plant and equipment depreciation . . . . . . 1.00
Miscellaneous . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.70
Total overhead per unit . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $3.40
The equipment and plant depreciation and miscellaneous costs are fixed and are based on production of 500,000 units annually. All other costs are variable. Plant capacity is 600,000 units annually.
All other overhead costs are variable.
The subsequent are forecast for year. Contract negotiations with the union are predictable to lead to an increase in hourly direct labor costs of 10 %, mostly in form of additional benefits. Commodity prices, including steel, are expected to decline by 20 percent due to the economic slowdown. Alloy prices are predictable to remain constant. Plant and equipment depreciation costs are predictable to increase by 5 percent. All other unit overhead costs are expected to remain constant.
LFI expects to sell 420,000 units in year 2. The present inventory of fittings is 40,000 units and management would like to observe a reduction of inventory of 20,000 units by the end of the year 2.
Alloy and Steel inventories will not change. Sales are roughly uniform over the year.
