Maritime Ltd manufactures toy boats. The selling price of each finished product is £28. Each finished product requires £10 of materials and half an hour of labour (at £10 per hour). Variable overheads are £2 per labour hour and fixed overheads are £60,000 per month. Labour is in short supply and Maritime Ltd
is currently running at full capacity.
Maritime Ltd has been asked to produce a unique one-off product. They have calculated that to produce this product would need 100 labour hours, materials costing £500 and an additional component that could be purchased for £230 or be made internally for a material cost of £100 and labour time of 4 hours.
