Production Requirements Cost per metre Flags Bunting Material Cer €/£4.00 0.5m 4m Material Bac €/£2.00 1m 3m
Finished Inventory Flags Bunting 1st July 200 0 31st July 950 1,325
There is no opening or closing work in progress, however due to inefficiencies in the production process, management expect that 5% of output will not pass quality control and therefore cannot be sold.
Materials Inventory Cer Bac 1st July 6,000m 20,000m 31st July 10,200m 14,000m
Labour & Overhead The standard direct labour required to produce each Flag unit is 30 minutes and a Bunting unit takes 1 hour to produce. Labour is paid at €/£10 per hour. Variable overheads (which will be incurred evenly over the year) are projected at €/£360,000 per annum and these are to be absorbed into production on the basis of direct labour hours.
