Chapter 9, Problem 9.3AP

Hill Industries had sales in 2016 of $6,800,000 and gross profit of $1,100,000. Management is considering two alternative budget plans to increase its gross profit in 2017.

Plan A would increase the selling price per unit from $8, 00 to $8, 40. Sales volume would decrease by 10% from its 2016 level. Plan B would decrease the selling price per unit by $0, 50. The marketing department expects that the sales volume would increase by 100,000 units.

At the end of 2016, Hill has 40,000 units of inventory on hand. If Plan A is accepted, the 2017 ending inventory should be equal to 5% of the 2017 sales. If Plan B is accepted, the ending inventory should be equal to 60,000 units. Each unit produced will cost $1, 80 in direct labor, $1, 40 in direct materials, and $, 20 in variable overhead. The fixed overhead for 2017 should be $1,895,000.
