Machine Setups | 23 setups | 27 setups |
product advertising | 5 | 9 |

product inspection | $30000 (2500 units*$12) | $90000 (7500 units*12) |
Machine Setups | $34500 ($1500*23 setups) | $40500 ($1500*27 setups) |
product advertising | $75000 ($15000*5) | $135000 ($1500*9) |
facility depreciation | $202500 ($40.5*5000 hrs) | $202500 ($40.5*5000 hrs) |

A. Calculation of cost per unit for each product :
Particulars | Elegance(E) | Comfort(C) |
Direct labor | $150000 (2500*60) | $247500 (33*7500) |
Direct labor | $131250 (35*1.5*2500) | $270000 ($36*1*7500) |
Total overhead | $342000 | $468000 |
Total cost | $623250 | $985500 |
Number of units | 2500 | 7500 |
Cost per unit | $249.3 | $131.4 |
B. If management wants to make 30 percent of cost as a profit
margin for Elegance,
Then price is cost (1+ margin) = 249.3*1.3 = $324.09.
C. If Market price for Elegance is set at $300 by competition and if profit margin is set at 30% of cost then the profit will be X * 1.30 = 300
there fore the cost of the elegance shall be = 300/1.3 = 230.77
then the company must cut cost of 249.3-230.77 = $18.53
cut cost through reducing production costs, modernize your
marketing efforts, use efficient time strategies, etc.,
