000 ML OF THIS CHEMICAL. CHEM 4 WAS USED BY THE COMPANY IN ONE OF...

60,000 ml of this chemical. Chem 4 was used by the company in one of its brands that it

decided to eliminate. The remaining inventory of Chem 4 was not sold or discarded

because it does not deteriorate and the company has adequate space for its storage.

Schundel Company can sell Chem 4 at the prevailing market price of P0.40 per ml less

P0.10/ml selling and handling costs. Clever’s order would require 5 ml of Chem 4 per

bottle.

The company has a stock of Chem 5. This was used by Schundel Hair Care for its

manufacture of another product that is no longer being produced. Chem. 5, which cannot

be used in Shamcon, can be substituted for Chem 1 on a one-for-one basis without

affecting the quality of the Clever order. There is no problem about the supply of Chem 1.

At present, the company has 20,000 ml of Chem 5 in its inventory, which has a salvage

value of P6,000.

The production of the Clever’s order would require the same direct labor hours per bottle as

in the regular Shamcon. However, at present, the company has only 20,000 direct labor

hours available. The Clever order can be produced if the workers would work overtime,

although an overtime premium of 30% of the regular rate should be paid.

Schundel Hair Care Company’s policy is to price new products at 130% of full manufacturing

cost.
