Chef Gourmet, Inc., has assembled the following data pertaining to its two most popular products.
Â
| Â | Blender | Food Processor | ||||
| Â Â Direct material | $ | 26 | Â | $ | 45 | Â |
| Â Â Direct labor | Â | 20 | Â | Â | 33 | Â |
| Â Â Manufacturing overhead @ $54 per machine hour | Â | 54 | Â | Â | 108 | Â |
| Â Â Cost if purchased from an outside supplier | Â | 68 | Â | Â | 116 | Â |
| Â Â Annual demand (units) | Â | 28,000 | Â | Â | 34,000 | Â |
| Â | ||||||
Past experience has shown that the fixed manufacturing overhead component included in the cost per machine hour averages $42. Management has a policy of filling all sales orders, even if it means purchasing units from outside suppliers.
|
2. With all other things constant, if management is able to reduce the direct material for a food processor to $26 per unit, how many units of each product should be manufactured? Purchased? |
| Â | Blender | Food Processor |
| Manufactured | 0 | 30,000 |
| Purchased | 28,000 | ? |
I got the values for everything except the number of units purchased for the food processor. How do I get that?
