Situation Two; Decision-Making for Special Order

Barney Quality Company makes blankets that it markets through a variety of department stores. It makes the blankets in batches of 400 units. The company makes 20,000 blankets during the actual accounting period. The cost of producing the blankets is summarized here:

Material cost - $10 per unit 20,000 units

Labor cost - $9 per unit 20,000 units

Manufacturing supplies - $1,50 x20,000 units

Batch - level costs per batch $1,000, 20,000 / 400 units = 5 batches, 5x $1,000 = $5,000

Product - level cost - $80,000 ($80,000 / 20,000 units = $ 4 per unit)

Facility - level cost - $145,000

Remember cost per unit = total cost / total units
