The company's current sales revenue is $2,400,000. Currently, the company's gross profit is 35% of sales, but the company's target gross profit percentage is 40%. The company's current monthly cost of production is $1,560,000. Of this cost, 40% is for labor, 20% is for materials, and 40% is for overhead. The strategic initiative being tested at Get Hitched is a redesign of its production process that splits the process into two sequential procedures. The make up of the costs of production for Procedure 1 is currently 50% direct labor, 45% direct materials, and 5% overhead. The makeup of the costs of production for Procedure 2 is currently 50% direct labor, 20% direct materials, and 30% overhead. Company management estimates that Procedure I costs twice as much as Procedure 2. 1. Determine what the cost of labor, materials, and overhead for both Procedures 1 and 2 would need to be for the company to meet its target gross profit at the current level of sales.

The company is planning a CSR initiative to reuse some of the indirect materials used in production during Procedure 2. These indirect materials normally make up 70% of the overhead cost for Procedure 2, but the CSR initiative would reduce the usage of indirect materials. Determine what the maximum new cost of these indirect materials could be for Procedure 2 if this CSR initiative is expected to enable the company to meet its target gross profit percentage (holding all other costs constant).
