Current Attempt in Progress Waterway's Nut House is a processor and distributor of a variety of different nuts. The company buys nuts from around the world and roasts, seasons, and packages them for resale. Waterway's Nut House currently offers 15 different types of nuts in one-pound bags through catalogs and gourmet shops. The company's major cost is that of the raw nuts; however, the predominantly automated roasting and packing processes consume a substantial amount of manufacturing overhead cost. The company uses relatively little direct labor. Some of Waterway's nuts are very popular and sell in large volumes, but some of the newer types selt in very low volumes. Waterway's prices its nuts at cost (including overhead) plus a markup of 50%. If the resulting prices of certain nuts are significantly higher than the market price. adjustments are made. Although the company competes primarily on the quality of its products, customers are price conscious.

Based on the sales budget and raw materials standards, purchases and use of raw materials are expected to total 59,000,000 for the year.
