Wesco Incorporated's only product is a combination fertilizer/weedkiller called GrowNWeed. GrowNWeed is sold nationwide to retall nurseries and garden stores. Zwinger Nursery plans to sell a similar fertilizer/weedkiller compound through its regional nursery. chain under its own private label. Zwinger does not have manufacturing facilities of its own, so it has asked Wesco (and several other companies) to submit a bid for manufacturing and delivering a 32,000 -pound order of the private brand compound to Zwinger. While the chemical composition of the Zwinger compound differs from that of GrowNWeed, the manufacturing processes are very similar. The Zwinger compound would be produced in 1,000-pound lots. Each lot would require 30 direct labor-hours and the following chemicals: The first three chemicals (AG-5, KL-2, and CW-7) are allised in the production of GrowNWeed. DF-6 was used in another compound that Wesco discontinued several months ago. The supply of DF-6 that Wesco had on hand when the other compound was discontinued was not discarded. Wesco could sell its supply of DF-6 at the prevailing market price less $0.10 per pound selling and handing expenses. which cannot be used in GrowNWeed, can be substituted for AG-5 on od or use in another product that is no longer produced. BH, compound. The BH3 in inventory has a salvage value of $500 Inventory and cost data for the chemicals that can be used to produce the Zwinger compound are shown below. The current direct labor wage rate is $14 per hour. The predetermined overhead rate is based on direct labor-hours (DLH). The predetermined overhead rate for the current year, based on a two-shift capacity with no overtime, is as follows: Wescos production manager reports that the present equipment and facilities are adequate to manufacture the Zwinger compound Therefore, the order would have no effect on total fixed manufacturing overhead costs. However, Wesco is within 140 hours of its twocould be produced on regular aditional hours beyond the 140 hours must be done in overtime. If need be, the Zwinger compound overtime is $21 per hour Thered time by shifting a portion of GrowNWeed production to overtime. Wesco's direct labor wage rate for overtime is $21 per hour. There is no allowance for any overtime premium in the predetermined overhead rate. Required: 1. Wesco has decided to submit a bid for the 32,000 pound order of Zwinger's new compound. The order must be delivered by the end of the current month. Zwinger has indicated that this is a one-time order that will not be repeated. Calculate the lowest price that Wesco could bid for the order and still exactly cover its incremental menufacturing costs: 2. Refer to the original data. Assume that Zwinger Nursery plans to place regular orders for 32,000-pound lots of the new compound. Wesco expects the demand for GrowNWeed to remain strong. Therefore, the recurring orders from Zwinger would put Wesco over its two-shift capacity. However, production could be scheduled so that 60% of each Zwinger order could be completed during regular hours. As anothet option, some GrowNWeed production could be shifted temporarily to overtime so that the Zwinger orders could be produced on regular time. Current market prices are the best avallable estimates of future market prices. Wesco's standard markup policy for new products is 4b% of the full manufacturing cost, including fixed manufacturing overhead Calculate the price that Wesco, incorporated, would quote Zwinger Nursery for each 32,000 pound lot of the new compound, assuming that it is to be treated as a new product and this pricing policy is followed, Calculate the price that Wesco, Incorporated, would quote Zwinger Nursery for each 32,000 pound lot of the new compound assuming that it is to be treated as a new product and this pricing policy is followed.
