The total fixed overheads at current capacity level
are Rs. 40,000 per annum. The company has various alternatives for improving
profitability as given below:
(a) To stop the production of Jelly and use the
released capacity for producing pomades. The machines for both the products are
common. However, cream is produced on a special purpose machine.
(b) To export the total production of Jelly at current
price. On export the following additional revenue is expected.
(i)
8% duly drawback on export price
(ii)
12% cash compensatory support against an export scheme of government.
(iii)
5% replenishment license which can be sold in market at a premium of 80%.
(c) To replace the conventional machine used for Jelly
by a special purpose machine, which will reduce the production time from 4
hours to 3 hours per unit. Due to this change the variable cost of Jelly will
be reduced by Re.0.50 per unit. The released machine will be used for producing
pomade. This proposal will entail an additional burden of fixed cost to the
tune of Rs. 32,000 per annum.
Please advise the management about the right choice of
an alternative so as to maximize profits.
