Miller computer co. will manufacture 28,000 laptops in a year during one shift. there are fixed manufacturing costs of $2,000,000 per year and labor costs $9,200,000. miller computer co. would like to be able to manufacture 56,000 laptops next year and is considering adding a second shift. the unit labor cost for the second shift would be 25% higher than the day shift, but the total fixed manufacturing costs would increase only to $2,400,000.
a) what is the manufacturing cost per unit of the single shift model?
b) what is the average manufacturing cost per unit if miller computer co. runs 2 shifts?
Answer a) Miller computer co. will manufacture = 28,000 laptops in a year during one shift.
Fixed manufacturing costs = $2,000,000 per year
labor costs = $9,200,000.
So, Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost
= $2,000,000 + $9,200,000
= $11,200,000
So, manufacturing cost per unit of the single shift model = Total Cost / Total number of units produced in the single shift
= 11,200,000 / 28,000
= $400
b) For the second shift:
Total fixed manufacturing costs = $2,400,000
Unit labor cost for the second shift =25% higher than the day shift
= $9,200,000 + ($9,200,000 * 25/100)
= $9,200,000 + $2,300,000
= $11,500,000
Total Cost only for the second shift = $2,400,000 + $11,500,000
= 13,900,000
Manufacturing cost per unit of the second shift model = Total cost for the second shift / Number of units produced in the second shift
= 13,900,000 / (56,000 - 28,000)
= 13,900,000 / 28,000
= $496.43 (rounding off to two decimal places)
Hence, the average manufacturing cost per unit if miller computer co. runs 2 shifts = (manufacturing cost per unit of the single shift model + Manufacturing cost per unit of the second shift model) / 2
= ($400 + $496.43) / 2
= $896.43 / 2
= $ 448.22 (rounding off to two decimal places)
