question 49

Multiple Choice

In 1998 a council-owned factory began selling replacement windows to outside customers for the first time. At the time the factory was making losses and the council needed to make severe budget cuts. The new customers have helped to reduce the losses in 1999 and a return to profits is required in 2000.
An order for a special type of window has been received. The factory manufactures this type of window very occasionally and there is some partially completed stock from last year. The stock relates to an order from the council that was cancelled to save costs. The special windows are typically 30% complete and some of the material can be used for the new order. The accountant still has detailed records of the work done last year.
The accountant has provided the following information for the factory managers.
Costs incurred last year on special windows now held in stock
PVC material = £5,000
Labour = £3,000
(i) The factory was planning to sell the stock of special windows to a company in Wales for £2,000. The factory would incur delivery costs of £200.
(ii) Special locks required for the new order are already in stock and were purchased in 1998 at a cost of £500. The locks could be sold for £100. The factory manager believes the locks could be used on another order if they were modified. The modifications would cost £80. The locks after modification would currently cost £400 to purchase.
(iii) 500 handles are required for the order. There are 600 handles in stock and they cost £3 each from supplier X. Supplier X typically supplies over 1000 handles a month. A new supplier has been found who will supply the handles for £2.50 each.
(iv) Three hundred labour hours will be required for the order. The average cost per hour is £5. As the factory is busy it is expected that one hundred of the three hundred hours will be paid at the overtime rate of £8 per hour.
(v) The supervisor's cost will be £1,000. No additional supervisors will be required if the order is accepted. The £1,000 does include £100 of overtime costs that will have to be paid if the order is accepted.
(vi) Specialist equipment will be required for this order. This equipment is rarely used and so it is hired out to a local company. The equipment will be required for 2 weeks. Currently this specialist equipment is hired out at £300 per week.
(vii) Administrative costs have been estimated at £1,000. This is a fixed cost and is included in all estimated costs
(viii) The original design costs for this type of window was £5,000 in 1998.
