Following a strategy of product differentiation, calculate Inc. makes a hand held calculator, SPX 1000. Calculate Inc. presents the following data for the years 1 and 2:

Units of SPX 1000 produced & Sold 50000 55000

Selling Price $40 $46

Direct Materials (Kilograms) 150,000 151,625

Direct Materials costs per kilograms $6 $6.50

Manufacturing Capacity for SPX 1000(units) 70,000 70,000

Total manufacturing Conversion Costs $560,000 $630,000

Manufacturing Conversion Cost per unit of capacity $8 $9

Selling & customer-service capacity (Customers) 33 31

Total selling and customer service costs $297,000 $294,500

Cost per customer of selling & customer service

capacity 9000 9500

Calculate Inc. produces no defective units but it wants to reduce direct materials usage per unit of SPX 1000 in year 2. Manufacturing conversion costs in each year depend on production capacity defined in terms of SPX 1000units that can be produced . Selling and customer-service costs depend on the number of customers that the customer and service functions are designed to support. Neither conversion costs and customer service costs are affected by changes in actual volume. Calculate Inc. has 23 customers in year 1 and 25 customers in year 2. the industry market size for hand held calculators increased 5% from year 1 to year 2. of the $6 increase in unit selling price, $2 is due to a general increase in prices.
