$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.
