At the end of October, Elizabeth lamented the company's situation: in the middle of production of Metlock-T's most popular long- sleeve T-shirt, the company ran out of its usual collars, purchased from one main supplier. That supplier was also sold out. Metlock-T could get a slightly different premade collar, from a new supplier, at the same cost. So Elizabeth went ahead with the order, hoping it wouldn't delay production or affect the quality of the shirts. As it turned out, the new collars failed Metlock-T's quality control testing. Stuck with unwearable T-shirt, the company was also in a bind with its retail outlets, which wanted more shirts to sell! The costs to produce this most recent batch of shirts is as follows. Direct material Direct labor Manufacturing overhead Total costs Volume in batch $85,000 30,000 15,000 $130,000 20,000

Feinan Sports, Inc., manufactures sporting equipment, including weight-lifting gloves. A national sporting goods chain recently submitted a special order for 4,600 pairs of weight-lifting gloves. Feinan Sports was not operating at capacity and could use the extra business. Unfortunately, the order’s offering price of $12.80 per pair was below the cost to produce them. The controller was opposed to taking a loss on the deal.

Two machines had broken down,and some factory production workers (all on salary) were idled for part of the month.Materials prices increased, and insurance premiums on the factory increased.
