Given the current plant conditions, Flex can use theexcess capacity to produce and sell additional 40,000 units of USB drive #1. This proposed plan doesnot change activity cost. Termination of USB drive #2 will impose order cancellation penalty of$38,000.Plan B: Lower the selling price of USB drive #1 to $13.5, which will increase the sales volume ofUSB drive #1 by 20,000 units. Assume Plan B does not affect the production and sale of USB drive#2. Further, activity cost pools and cost driver levels are presented below under this proposed plan:Activity Cost Pool Activity Cost Activity Cost DriverMachine setup $108,000 360 setupsMaterial handling $99,000 54,000 poundsMachine operation $14,400 3,600 machine hoursTotal $221,400Plan C: Shifting the focus of advertising from USB drive #2 to USB drive #1, which will increaseadvertising costs by $5000. Further, plan C will increase the sales volume of USB drive #1 by 10,000 2units, and decrease the sales volume of USB drive #2 by 10,000 units.
