Eastern Chemical Company produces three products. The operating results of the current year are: Sales Target Actual ProductQuantity Price Price Difference A 1,000 B 5,000 C $ $ $ 1.00 285.00 286.00 297.60 255.60 (42.00) 500 202.50 310.00 $ 107.50 The firm sets the target price of each product at 150% of the product's total manufacturing cost. It appears that the firm was able to sell Product C at a much higher price than the target price of the product and lost money on Product B. Tom Watson, CEO, wants to promote Product C much more aggressively and phase out Product B. He believes that the information suggests that Product C has the greatest potential among the firm's three products because the actual selling price of Product C was almost 50% higher than the target price, while the firm was forced to sell Product B at a price below the target price. Both the budgeted and actual factory overhead for the current year are $510,000. The actual units sold for each product also are the same as the budgeted units. The firm uses direct labor dollars to assign manufacturing overhead costs. The direct materials and direct labor costs per unit for each product are: Product A Product B Product C Direct materials $ $ $ 50.00 Direct labor 20.00 114.40 12.00 65.00 10.00 Total prime $ $ $ cost 70.00 126.40 75.00 The controller noticed that not all products consumed factory overhead similarly. Upon further investigation, she identified the following usage of factory overhead during the year: Total Product AProduct BProduct C Overhead Number of setups 2 5 3 $ 9,000 Weight of direct materials 400 250 350 110,000 (pounds) Waste and hazardous disposals 25 45 30 250,000 Quality inspections 30 35 35 75,000 Utilities (machine hours) 2,000 7,000 1,000 66,000 $ Total 510,000 Required: 1. Determine the manufacturing cost per unit for each of the products using the volume-based method. 2. What are the least profitable and the most profitable products under both the current and the ABC systems? 3. What is the new target price for each product based on 150% of the new costs under the ABC system? Compare this price with the actual selling price.
