Exercise 8-3 a1, b-c (Video)

Leno Company makes swimsuits and sells these suits directly to retailers. Although Leno has a variety of suits, it does not make the All-Body suit used by highly skilled swimmers. The market research department believes that a strong market exists for this type of suit. The department indicates that the All-Body suit would sell for approximately $100. Given its experience, Leno believes the All-Body suit would have the following manufacturing costs.

	Direct materials		$23
	Direct labor		32
	Manufacturing overhead		45
	Total costs		$100
