(i) (Click the icon to view alternative dye information.) Read the requirements. Requirement 1. Given the preceding information, would NA be better off financially by switching to the environmentally friendly dye? (Assume all other costs would remain the same.) Begin by calculating the increase in costs from switching to the environmentally friendly dye. (Round all intermediary calculations and the amounts you input in the cells to the nearest cent.) Data table \begin{tabular}{lcccc} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{ Price } & Quantity & Cost per unit of output \\ \hline Fabric & $16 per yard & 0.50 yard per unit & $ & 8 per unit \\ Labor & $8 per DMLH & 0.50 DMLH per unit & $ & 4 per unit \\ Dye & $0.50 per ounce & 4 ounces per unit & $ & 2 per unit \end{tabular} *For colored T-shirts only Budgeted sales and selling price per unit are as follows: \begin{tabular}{lrcc} & Budgeted Sales & Selling Price per Unit \\ \hline White T-shirts & 14,000 units & $ & 14 per T-shirt \\ Colored T-shirts & 34,000 units & $ & 18 per T-shirt \end{tabular} More info NA has the opportunity to switch from using the dye it currently uses to using an environmentally friendly dye that costs $1.75 per ounce. The company would still need 4 ounces of dye per shirt. NA is reluctant to change because of the increase in costs (and decrease in profit), but the Environmental Protection Agency has threatened to fine the company $172,300 if it continues to use the harmful but less expensive dye. Requirement 1. Given the preceding information, would NA be better off financially by switching to the environmentally friendly dye? (Assume all other costs would remain the same.) 2. If NA chooses to be environmentally responsible and switches to the new dye, the changes in the process will allow production managers to implement Kaizen costing. If NA can reduce fabric and labor costs each by 2% per month on all the shirts it manufactures, by how much will overall costs decrease at the end of 12 months? (Round to the nearest dollar for calculating cost reductions.) 3. Refer to requirement 2. How could the reduction in material and labor costs be accomplished? Are there any problems with this plan
