Problem 1-16A (continued)

3. In preparing the income statement for August, Sam failed to
distinguish between product costs and period costs, and he also
failed to recognize the changes in inventories between the
beginning and end of the month. Once these errors have been
corrected, the financial condition of the company looks much
better and selling the company may not be advisable.

3. The average product cost per set would increase if the

production drops. This is because the fixed costs would be
spread over fewer units, causing the average cost per unit to
rise.
4. a. Yes, the president may expect a minimum price of $153,
which is the average cost to manufacture one set. He might
expect a price even higher than this to cover a portion of the
administrative costs as well. The brother-in-law probably is
thinking of cost as including only direct materials, or, at most,
direct materials and direct labor. Direct materials alone
would be only $47 per set, and direct materials and direct
labor would be only $106.
b. The term is opportunity cost. The full, regular price of a set
might be appropriate here, because the company is
operating at full capacity, and this is the amount that must
be given up (benefit forgone) to sell a set to the brother-inlaw.
