Chad Davis, vice president for operations at C&C Sports, is considering different strategies for managing the company's inventory. Earlier in the year, the company implemented a more systematic production schedule so that at the end of each month Finished Goods Inventory is 25% of the next month's anticipated sales. That strategy freed a lot of inventory space and improved the company's cash flow. However, Chad noticed that because of the seasonal nature of the purchases of all of the products, especially award jackets, the need for direct labor hours fluctuated widely from one month to the next. Even though Chad is able to hire workers as needed, he is concerned that eventually he won't be able to find skilled workers unless they are promised a more consistent schedule. For C&C Sports, labor and sewing machines are constrained resources. The company can produce as many of their products as they have people to make them. Chad gathered the following unit sales and cost information about each product. Sales price Direct materials Direct labor Variable overhead Fixed overhead Total cost Pants $19.00 $6.00 4.00 2.20 Jerseys $22.00 $10.00 3.20 1.76 2.24 Jackets $175.00 $58.00 24.00 13.20 16.80 2.80 $15.00 $4.00 $17.20 $4.80 $112.00 $63.00 Gross profit Direct labor hours .25 .20 1.50 EXHIBIT 5.5 C&C Sports' sales forecast.
