Strategic Initiatives and CSR Get Hitched Inc. is a production company that is in the process of testing a strategic initiative aimed at increasing gross profit. The company's current sales revenue is $1,200,000. Currently, the company's gross profit is 35% of sales, but the company's target gross profit percentage is 40%. The company's current monthly cost of production is $780,000. Of this cost, 40% is for labor, 30% is for materials, and 30% is for overhead. The strategic initiative being tested at Get Hitched is a redesign of its production process that splits the process into two sequential procedures. The make up of the costs of production for Procedure 1 is currently 50% direct labor, 45% direct materials, and 5% overhead. The makeup of the costs of production for Procedure 2 is currently 55% direct labor, 25% direct materials, and 20% overhead. Company management estimates that Procedure 1 costs twice as much as Procedure 2. 1. Determine what the cost of labor, materials, and overhead for both Procedures 1 and 2 would need to be for the company to meet its target gross profit at the current level of sales. Cost makeup of Procedure 1: Direct Labor Direct Materials Overhead Total 216,000 Cost makeup of Procedure 2: Direct Labor Direct Materials Overhead Check My Work Previous Next >
