Healthfirst (HF) Ltd has recently started to produce a face shield and product's standard cost data
are as follows:
Cost per unit
Direct materials Perspex (0.5 meters @ $15 per meter)
$ 7.50
Direct materials Hardened Plastic (0.25 meters at $20.00 per meter) 5.00
Direct manufacturing labour (0.5 hr @ $30.00 per hr)
Manufacturing overhead
Total Cost
15.00
Required
Should HF accept the offer. Show all computations.
30.00
$57.50
Additional information
45% of the Manufacturing overhead changes with the number of units produced. Additionally, if
production of face shields is discontinued, 20% of the remaining fixed cost will be avoided. The
budgeted production used to compute overheads is 10,000 units per quarter. HF has been
approached by another company who is willing to supply the face shields at $50. Per unit. The
space used to manufacture face shields can be used to Generate $ 120,000 in contribution margin
per quarter.
