Projected sales in units for the coming five months follow: January 40,000 February 50,000 March 60,000 April 60,000 May 62,000 The following data pertains to production policies and manufacturing specifications followed by Allison Manufacturing: a. The finished goods inventory on January 1 is 32,000 units, each costing $166.06. The desired ending inventory for each month is 80% of the next month s sales. b. The data on materials used are as follows: Direct material Usage Per-Unit of Cost of direct material Production Metal 10 lbs $8/lbs s 6 units $5/unit Inventory policy dictates that sufficient materials be on hand at the end of the month to produce 50% of the next month s production needs. This is exactly the amount of material on hand on December 31 of the prior year. c. The direct labour used per unit of output is three hours. The average direct labour cost per hour is $14.25. d. Manufacturing overhead each month is budgeted using direct labour hours. Manufacturing overhead Fixed-Cost ($) Variable-Cost ($/direct labour hour) Supplies - 1.00 Power - 0.50 Maintenance 30,000 0.40 Supervision 16,000 - Depreciation 200,000 - Taxes 12,000 - Others 80,000 0.50
Page 5 of 7 e. Monthly variable selling and administrative expenses are budgeted using units sold. Fixed-Cost ($) Variable-Cost ($/unit sold) Salaries 50,000 - Commissions - 2.00 Depreciation 40,000 - Shipping - 1.00 Other 20,000 0.60 f. The unit selling price of the subassembly is $205. g. All sales and purchases are for cash in the same month. All expenses including direct labour, overhead and selling and administrative except for depreciation, are paid in the same month. The cash balance on January 1 equals $400,000. The firm requires a minimum ending balance of $50,000.
