Requirement - 1:
Answer to Problem 25P
Solution:
For Debbie;
For Trish;
For Sarah;
For Mike;
For Sewing kit;
Thus total direct labor hours used to manufacture one unit of each of the company’s five products will be;
(0.40 + 0.25 + 0.70 + 0.50 + 0.20) = 2.05 hours
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Following information are given in the question:
Direct labor rate = $16 per hour
Debbie direct labor cost per unit = $6.40
Trish direct labor cost per unit = $4
Sarah direct labor cost per unit = $11.20
Mike direct labor cost per unit = $8
Sewing kit direct labor cost per unit = $3.20
Formula used:
Following formula will be used;
Calculation:
For Debbie;
Direct labor rate = $16 per hour
Direct labor cost per unit = $6.40
Now let’s put the values in given formula;
For Trish;
Direct labor rate = $16 per hour
Direct labor cost per unit = $4
Now let’s put the values in given formula;
For Sarah;
Direct labor rate = $16 per hour
Direct labor cost per unit = $11.20
Now let’s put the values in given formula;
For Mike;
Direct labor rate = $16 per hour
Direct labor cost per unit = $8
Now let’s put the values in given formula;
For Sewing kit;
Direct labor rate = $16 per hour
Direct labor cost per unit = $3.20
Now let’s put the values in given formula;
Thus total direct labor hours used to manufacture one unit of each of the company’s five products will be;
(0.40 + 0.25 + 0.70 + 0.50 + 0.20) = 2.05 hours
Thus above calculated direct labor hours used to manufacture one unit of each product.
Requirement - 2:
Variable
To identify: How muchvariable overhead cost is incurred to manufacture one unit of the each of the company’s five products?
Requirement - 2:
Answer to Problem 25P
Solution:
For Debbie;
Variable cost incurred (0.40 * $2) = $0.80
For Trish;
Variable cost incurred (0.25 * $2) = $0.50
For Sarah;
Variable cost incurred (0.70 * $2) = $1.40
For Mike;
Variable cost incurred (0.50 * $2) = $1
For Sewing kit;
Variable cost incurred (0.20 * $2) = $0.40
Thus total variable cost incurred to manufacture one unit of each of the company’s five products will be;
($0.80 + $0.50 + $1.40 + $1 + $0.40) = $4.10
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Following information are given in the question:
Variable overhead rate per direct labor hour = $2
Direct labor hour used for one unit of Debbie = 0.40
Direct labor hour used for one unit of Trish = 0.25
Direct labor hour used for one unit of Sarah = 0.70
Direct labor hour used for one unit of Mike = 0.50
Direct labor hour used for one unit of Sewing kit = 0.20
Formula used:
Following formula will be used;
Calculation:
For Debbie;
Variable overhead rate per direct labor hour = $2
Direct labor hour used for one unit of Debbie = 0.40
Now let’s put the values in given formula;
Variable cost incurred (0.40 * $2) = $0.80
For Trish;
Variable overhead rate per direct labor hour = $2
Direct labor hour used for one unit of Trish = 0.25
Now let’s put the values in given formula;
Variable cost incurred (0.25 * $2) = $0.50
For Sarah;
Variable overhead rate per direct labor hour = $2
Direct labor hour used for one unit of Sarah = 0.70
Now let’s put the values in given formula;
Variable cost incurred (0.70 * $2) = $1.40
For Mike;
Variable overhead rate per direct labor hour = $2
Direct labor hour used for one unit of Mike = 0.50
Now let’s put the values in given formula;
Variable cost incurred (0.50 * $2) = $1
For Sewing kit;
Variable overhead rate per direct labor hour = $2
Direct labor hour used for one unit of Sewing kit = 0.20
Now let’s put the values in given formula;
Variable cost incurred (0.20 * $2) = $0.40
Thus total variable cost incurred to manufacture one unit of each of the company’s five products will be;
($0.80 + $0.50 + $1.40 + $1 + $0.40) = $4.10
Thus above calculated is the variable cost incurred to manufacture one unit of each of the company’s five products.

Contribution margin per unit is calculated as follow;
For Debbie;
($16.70 − $10.70) = $6.00
For Trish;
($7.50 − $5.10) = $2.40
For Sarah;
($26.60 − $17.64) = $8.96

Answer to Problem 25P
Solution:
For getting maximum contribution margin company will use direct labor hours to the products those have higher contribution margin. So let’s calculate highest contribution margin;
Debbie | Trish | Sarah | Mike | Sewing Kit | |
Total direct labor hours used | 20000 | 10500 | 24500 | 20000 | 65000 |
Contribution margin per direct labor hour | $15 | $9.60 | $12.80 | $8 | $16 |
Total contribution margin | $300000 | $100800 | $313600 | $80000 | $1040000 |
Thus total highest contrubution margin will be;
($300000 + $100800 + $313600 + $80000 + $1040000) = $1834400
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Following information are given in the question:
Total direct labor hours available = 130000
Contribution margin per direct labor hour of Debbie = $15
Contribution margin per direct labor hour of Trish = $9.60
Contribution margin per direct labor hour of Sarah = $12.80
Contribution margin per direct labor hour of Mike = $8.00
Contribution margin per direct labor hour of Sewing kit = $16.00
Total unitsof Debbie = 50000
Totalunits of Trish = 42000
Total units of Sarah = 35000
Total units of Mike = 40000
Total units of Sewing kit = 325000
Direct labor hour used for one unit of Debbie = 0.40
Direct labor hour used for one unit of Trish = 0.25
Direct labor hour used for one unit of Sarah = 0.70
Direct labor hour used for one unit of Mike = 0.50
Direct labor hour used for one unit of Sewing kit = 0.20
Formula used:
Following formula will be used;
Calculation:
First of all let’s calculate total direct labor hours used for each product
Debbie | Trish | Sarah | Mike | Sewing Kit | |
Direct labor hour used for one unit | 0.40 | 0.25 | 0.70 | 0.50 | 0.20 |
Number of units | 50000 | 42000 | 35000 | 40000 | 325000 |
Total direct labor hours | 20000 | 10500 | 24500 | 20000 | 65000 |
As per above table total direct labor hours are (20000 + 10500 + 24500 + 20000 + 65000) = 140000
But total direct labor hours that can be used are 130000, so company will use direct labor hours to the products those have higher contribution margin.
For getting maximum contribution margin company will use direct labor hours to the products those have higher contribution margin. So let’s calculate highest contribution margin;
Debbie | Trish | Sarah | Mike | Sewing Kit | |
Total direct labor hours used | 20000 | 10500 | 24500 | 20000 | 65000 |
Contribution margin per direct labor hour | $15 | $9.60 | $12.80 | $8 | $16 |
Total contribution margin | $300000 | $100800 | $313600 | $80000 | $1040000 |
Thus total highest contrubution margin will be;
($300000 + $100800 + $313600 + $80000 + $1040000) = $1834400
Thus above calculated is the Highest contribution margin that the company can earn if it makes optimal use of its’ constrained resources.

- Decision on accepting additional business A manager of Varden Sporting Goods Company is considering accepting an order from an overseas customer. This customer has requested an order for 20,000 dozen golf balls at a price of 22 per dozen. The variable cost to manufacture a dozen golf balls is 18 per dozen. The full cost is 25 per dozen. Varden has a normal selling price of 35 per dozen. Vardens plant has just enough excess capacity on the second shift to make the overseas order. What are some considerations in accepting or rejecting this order?arrow_forwardBreak-even sales under present and proposed conditions Portmann Company, operating at full capacity, sold 1,000,000 units at a price of 188 per unit during the current year. Its income statement is as follows: The division of costs between variable and fixed is as follows: Management is considering a plant expansion program for the following year that will permit an increase of 11,280,000 in yearly sales.
