Each desk-and-chair set requires 10 board feet of pine planks and 1.5 hours of direct labor. Each set sells for $50. Pine planks cost $.50 per board foot, and the division ends each month with enough wood to cover 10percent of the next month’s production requirements. The division incurs a cost of S20 per hour for direct-labor wages and fringe benefits. The division ends each month with enough finished-goods inventory to cover 20 percent of the next month’s sales.
