(a)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: The annual capacity with a single eight hour shift is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The annual capacityis the maximum level of output that a company is able to make a product or provide a service in a year.

Output per day is calculated by,

  Outputperday=TotaltimeavailableTimetomakeoneunit

The capacity is given by,

  Capacity = Numberofmachines ×Workingdays ×Outputperday

(a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Fixed cost for one shift is $60,000.

Unit variable cost is $7.

Selling price is $12.

Number of machines is 6.

Number of working days in year is 340.

Processing time per unit is 40 minutes.

The annual capacity with a single eight hour shift calculation is shown below:

  Outputperday=TotaltimeavailableTimetomakeoneunit=8hour×60minutes40minutes=12units

The capacity is calculated as follows:

  Capacity=Numberofmachines×Workingdays×Outputperday=6×340×12=24480units

Thus, the capacity of plant is 24480 units per year.

(b)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: The capacity with two shifts is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The annual capacityis the maximum level of output that a company is able to make a product or provide a service in a year.

The formula to calculate the output per day is given by,

  Outputperday=TotaltimeavailableTimetomakeoneunit

(b)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The annual capacity with a single eight hour shift is calculated as shown below:

  Outputperday=TotaltimeavailableTimetomakeoneunit=8hour×2×60minutes40minutes=24units

Determine the capacity as follows.

  Capacity=Numberofmachines×Workingdays×Outputperday=6×340×24=48960units

Thus, the capacity of plant is 48960 unit per year.

(c)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: The break-even volume with a single shift operation is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Break-even point is the no profit no loss situation.

Breakevenvolumeis the amount of product that needs to be produced and sold to cover total costs of production.

(c)

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

Calculate the break-even volume with one shiftas shown below.

  Breakevenpoint=FixedcostSellingpriceVariablecost=$60000$12$7=12,000units

Thus, the break-even volume with one shift is $12000 units.

(d)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: The maximum revenue with a single shift is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Revenueis defined as the income of a company that is generated from its normal business activities, such as the sale of goods and services to customers.

(d)

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

The maximum revenue per shift is calculated by using the following formula:

  Revenue=Capacitywithsingleshift×Salesperunit=$24,800×$12=$297,600

Thus, the revenue is $297,600 units.

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: The break-even volume with a two shift operation is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Break-even point is the no profit, no loss situation.

Breakevenvolumeis the amount of product that needs to be produced and sold to cover total costs of production.

Summertime Products makes outdoor shirts. Data relating to the coming year’s planned operations follows: Sales (200,000 shirts) P 5,000,000 Cost of good sold 3,500,000 Gross profit P 1,500,000 Selling and administrative expenses 1,100,000 Income P 400,000 The factory has capacity to make 240,000 shirts per year. Fixed cost included in cost of goods sold was P 1,000,000. The only variable selling, general, and administrative expenses are a 10% sales commission and a P 2.00 per shirt licensing fee paid to the designer. A chain store manager has approached the sales manager of Summertime Products offering to buy 30,000 shirts at P18 per shirt. These shirts would be sold in areas where Summertime’ shirts are not now sold. The sales manager believes that the accepting the offer would result in a loss because the average total cost of a shirt is P 23 ([3,500,000+P 1,100,000]/200,000). He feels that even though sales commissions would not be paid on the order, a loss would still result.…
