COMFYCHAIRS LIMITED
Comfychairs Limited commenced business on 01 November 2021. It
manufactures a special type of chair designed to alleviate back
pain. During the first month of operations 500 chairs were produced
of which 300 were sold. The selling price was R1 500 per chair. The
manufacturing costs for November 2021 included direct materials of
R240 per unit, direct labour of R150 per unit, variable
manufacturing overheads of R90 per unit and fixed manufacturing
overheads of R120 000 per month. Fixed administration costs
amounted to R60 000 per month. Marketing costs included a sales
commission of 5% of the sales revenue and advertising costs of 4%
of the sales revenue.
During December 2021, 1 000 chairs were produced whilst 800 were
sold. During this month the variable manufacturing costs per unit
increased by 10% but all other costs remained the same or were
determined in the same way as for November 2021. The selling price
for chairs sold during December 2021 was increased by 5% because of
the increase in some costs.
