Chapter 11, Problem 11.41BE

1.

To determine

To calculate: The standard cost per batch of 10,000 bottles using the current data (before the company makes any changes) including direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead in the standard cost per unit.

2.

To determine

To calculate: The standard cost per batch of 10,000 bottles if the company makes the changes to the bottle design and production process so that less plastic is used including direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead in the standard cost per unit.

3.

To determine

To calculate: The cost savings per batch by comparing the standard cost per batch under each scenario (current versus proposed change).

To find: The number of batches of bottles which would need to be produced after the change to have the cost savings total equal the cost to make the changes.

4.

To determine

The benefits which might arise from making this change to using less plastic in the manufacture of the bottles.

Green Manufacturing is a traditional manufacturing company located in the midwestern United States. The company’s operations manager is developing a strategy to become more CSR-oriented. In an effort to evaluate possible areas where CSR initiatives can be implemented, the manager has gathered the following data regarding three potential CSR activities:   Initialadded cost Variable cost  Variable savings  Recycle and reuse production material $5,000        $0.10   per lb. of recycled material $0.15   per lb. of recycled material Add solar panels as a source of power 700,000        $1,000   per year $33,000   per year Replace assembly room light fixtures with natural light 120,000        $180   per month $220   per month The recycling activity would carry on indefinitely. The solar panels would have a useful life of 30 years. The replacement of assembly room light fixtures with natural light is assumed to have an 80-year effect. a. Determine if it is viable to recycle and use…
