Question

Accounting

Mercia Chocolates produces gourmet chocolate products with no preservatives. Any production must be sold within a few days, so producing for inventory is not an option. Mercias single plant has the capacity to make 92,500 packages of chocolate annually. Currently, Mercia sells to only two customers: Verns Chocolates (a specialty candy store chain) and Mega Stores (a chain of department stores). Verns orders 50,500 packages and Mega Stores orders 17,500 packages annually. Variable manufacturing costs are $15 per package, and annual fixed manufacturing costs are $555,000. The gourmet chocolate business has two seasons, holidays and non-holidays. The holiday season lasts exactly four months and the non-holiday season lasts eight months. Verns orders the same amount each month, so Verns orders 16,500 packages during the holidays and 34,000 packages in the non-holiday season. Mega Stores only carries Mercias chocolates during the holidays.

A ) Calculate the product cost for each season with excess capacity costs assigned to the season requiring it. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.)
