The first three chemicals (AG-5, KL-2, and CW-7) are all used 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 $0.11 per pound selling and handling expenses. Wesco also has on hand a chemical called BH-3, which was manufactured for use in another product that is no longer produced. BH-3, which cannot be used in GrownWeed, can be substituted for AG-5 on a one-for-one basis without affecting the quality of the Zwinger compound. The BH-3 in inventory has a salvage value of $550. Inventory and cost data for the chemicals that can be used to produce the Zwinger compound are shown below: Raw Material AG-5 KL-2 CW-7 DP-6 BH-3 Pounds in Inventory 26,000 4,700 8,700 4,540 4,700 Actual Price per Pound When Purchased $ 0.74 $0.41 $ 1.22 $ 0.54 $ 0.59 Current Market Price per Pound $ 0.84 $ 0.46 $ 1.42 $ 0.51 (Salvage) The current direct labor wage rate is $18 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: Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead Combined predetermined overhead rate $ 4.60 6.90 $11.50 per DLH per DLR per DLH Wesco's 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 130 hours of its two- shift capacity this month. Any additional hours beyond the 130 hours must be done in overtime. If need be, the Zwinger compound could be produced on regular time by shifting a portion of GrownWeed production to overtime Wesco's direct labor wage rate for overtime is $27 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 27,000 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 manufacturing costs. 2. Refer to the original data. Assume that Zwinger Nursery plans to place regular orders for 27,000 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 another 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 available estimates of future market prices. Wesco's standard markup policy for new products is 40% of the full manufacturing cost, including fixed manufacturing overhead Calculate the price that Wesco, Inc, would quote Zwinger Nursery for each 27000 pound lot of the new compound, assuming that it is to be treated as a new product and this pricing policy is followed Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below.
