21. The Westbourne food company Limited produces crisps which it sells in standard packets of 25 grams and supersize packets of 250 grams. These are supplied to their customers – mainly small shops, but also to one supermarket – in boxes containing either 100 standard packets or 8 supersize packets.
Sales for the year are budgeted as follows:
Boxes of Boxes of
Standard supersize
Shops 7,000 10,000
Supermarket 3,000 5,000
Currently the company calculates its basic selling price on the basis of the cost of producing crisps (which is 40 pence per 100 grams). All other costs are treated as overhead and allocated on the basis of product weight, with a mark-up on full cost of 35% on standard and 25% on supersize. The costs absorbed in this way amount to £153,400. The prices are rounded to the nearest pence to arrive at the exact price per packet. The supermarket obtains a discount of 5p per standard packet and 32p per supersize packet.
Required:
a) Calculate the basic price, charged to shops, and the discounted supermarket price of both the standard packet and the supersize packet. (6 Marks)
b) A new management accountant is concerned that the overhead includes the cost of packaging. He therefore recalculates the cost of the product, treating the packaging costs as direct costs, on the basis of the following information:
Each packet has a wrapper, costing 4 pence for standard or 12 pence for supersize.
The boxes used for delivery cost £1.50 each
Calculate the unit cost of each type of pack on the new basis. (6 Marks)
