Hi Guys,
Could anyone tell me why the beginning inventory is being ignored in this question? I really don’t understand the logic in reaching the correct answer (D):
Daffy Tunes manufactures an animated rabbit with moving parts and a built-in voice box. Projected sales in units are as follows.
Each rabbit requires basic materials that Daffy purchases from a single supplier at $3.50 per rabbit. Voice boxes are purchased from another supplier at $1.00 each. Assembly labor cost is $2.00 per rabbit and variable overhead cost is $.50 per rabbit. Fixed manufacturing overhead applicable to rabbit production is $12,000 per month.
Daffy’s policy is to manufacture 1.5 times the coming month’s projected sales every other month starting with January (i.e., odd-numbered months) for February sales, and to manufacture 0.5 times the coming month’s projected sales in alternate months (i.e., even-numbered months). This allows Daffy to allocate limited manufacturing resources to other products as needed during the even-numbered months.
The dollar production budget for animated rabbits for February is
$327,000.
$113,500.
$390,000.
$127,500.
