The operating results of the current year Product Sales Quantity 1.000 5,000 Target Price $285.50 297.60 Actual Price $286.00 255.60 310.00 Difference $ 1.00 (42.00) $107.50 500 202.50 The firm sets the target price of each product at 150% of the products total manufacturing cost. Recognizing that the firm was able to sell Product Cat a much higher price than the target price of the product and lost money on Product B, Tom Watson, CEO, wants to promote Product C much more aggressively and phase out Product B. He believes that the information suggests that product C has the greatest potential among the firm's three products since the actual selling price of Product C was almost 50% higher than the target price while the firm was forced to sell Product B at a price below the target price. Both the budgeted and actual factory overheads for the current year are $510,000. The actual units sold for each product also are the same as the budgeted units. The firm uses direct labor dollars to assign manufacturing overhead costs. The direct materials and direct labor costs per unit for cach product are: Product A Direct materials $50.00 Direct labor 20.00 Total prime cost 70.00 Product $114.40 12.00 $126.40 Product C $65.00 10.00 $75.00 The controller noticed that not all products consumed factory overhead similarly.
