Orchid Ltd. is a small furniture manufacturer. It was established as a family-owned business 30 years ago and prides itself on high-quality products. Most of its products are made to order as a result of direct orders from Internet-based sales. Typically the company has been profitable, operating at the top end of the market; recently, however, costs appear to have been increasing and the company has also seen a decline in its sales. The workforce is highly skilled and recently several of the experienced craftspeople who make the products have retired, and the company has had problems recruiting, training and retaining suitably skilled employees. One of its products, a table, has the following standard costs:

	£
Direct materials (8m @ £30/m)	240.00
Direct labour (10 hours @ £25/hr)	250.00
Fixed overheads	160.00
	650.00
Selling price	950.00
Standard profit margin	300.00

The table is made from solid oak and the above materials reflect the size of the table in square metres. The labour required to make the table is highly skilled.

The monthly production and sales are planned to be 800 units. The actual results for March were as follows:

		£
Sales revenue		753,300
