| LGI’s production managers recently attended a course at UMGC where they learned about ABC costing. They propose allocating the total fixed costs between Standard and Deluxe boxes based on this method . They collected information about the cost drivers and the break up of the total costs in Table 1 below. How much overhead would be allocated to Standard and Deluxe Boxes ( in total and per unit) using this method? Show all supporting calculations. Complete the grey spaces | ||||||||

| Question 1 | |||
| The sustainability manager is concerned about the long term sustainability implications of Deluxe boxes on the environment and suggest changing to sustainable materials for the production of a Sustainable Deluxe Box. | |||
| If the company switches to their current quantity of Deluxe Boxes sold to Sustainable Deluxe Boxes there will be some cost implications. | |||
| The Sustainable Deluxe Boxes could be made cheaper, and the sustianability manager believes that the company could bring down the selling price to $15 per box which would entice current Deluxe Box customers to accept the switch over. The new Sustainable Deluxe Boxes will attract 60% of total fixed costs calculated for the Deluxe Boxes under the ABC method. The number of boxes sold will not be affected by this new selling price, as the company will in future have to do marketing to sell more boxes at the lower price. Calculate the new Gross profit and profit percentage. Complete the grey spaces | |||

| Question 2 | |||
| The manager is concerned about the massive reduction in profit from the Sustainable Deluxe Boxes but realizes that because of the change in materials, they will no longer be able to charge the price of $18 per box. The manager wants to achieve at least the same profit percentage for the deluxe boxes as they have on standard boxes. How much additional profit are they requiring? Complete the grey spaces. | |||
