Problem 2

The following data are available in a manufacturing company for a yearly period:


$
Fixed expenses:
Wages and Salaries9,50,000
Rent, Rate & Taxes6,60,000
Depreciation7,40,000
Sundry Admin Expenses6,50,000
Semi Variable Expenses at 50% Capacity:
Maintenance & Repairs3,50,000
Indirect Labor7,90,000
Sales Deptt. Salaries etc.3,80,000
Sundry Admin Salaries2,80,000
Variable Expenses:
Material21,70,000
Labor20,40,000
Other Expenses7,90,000
Total98,00,000

Assume that the fixed expenses remain constant for all levels of production, the semi-variable expenses remain constant between 45% and 65% capacity; increasing by 10% between 65 percent and 80 percent capacity; and by 20 percent between 80% and 100% capacity.

Problem 3

A factory is currently working to 50% capacity and produces 10,000 units. Estimate the profits of the company when it works at 60% and 80% capacity and offer your critical comments.

At 50% working raw material cost increases by 2% and selling price falls by 2%. At the 80% working raw material cost increases by 5% and selling price falls by 5%.

Also Check:  Q. 4. What are functional budgets? Which functional budgets are commonly used by the Management?

At 50% working the product costs $180 per unit and is sold at $200 per unit.

The unit cost of $180 is made up as follows:

Material: 100
Labor: 30
Factory overhead: 30 (40% fix)
Admn. overhead: 20 (50% fix)

Solution

Output: 10,000 unit 50% capacityOutput: 12,000 units 60% capacityOutput: 16,000 units 80% capacity
