Q.8 Pink Ltd. is considering proposals for design changes in one of a range of soft toys.
The proposals are as follows:
(a) Eliminate some of the decorative stitching from the toy.(b) Use plastic eyes instead of glass eyes in the toys.(c) Change the filling material used. It is proposed that scrap fabric left over from
the body manufacture be used instead of synthetic material which is currentlybeing used.
On above proposals following information has been gathered by management:
(1) Plastic eyes will cost Rs.30 per hundred whereas the existing glass eyes costRs.40 per hundred. The eyes will be more liable to damage during insertion. Itis estimated that scrap plastic eyes will be 10% of the quantity issued from
stores as compared to 5% in case of glass eyes.(2) The synthetic filling materials costs Rs.1,600 per ton. One ton of filling is
sufficient for 2,000 soft toys.(3) Scrap fabric to be used as filling material will need to be cut into smaller
pieces before use and will cost Re.1 per soft toy. Scrap fabric is sufficiently
available for this purpose.(4) The elimination of decorative stitching is expected to reduce the appeal of the
product, with an estimated fall in sales by 10% from the current level. It is notfelt that the change in eyes or filling material will adversely affect salesvolume. The elimination of the stitching will reduce production costs by Rs.6
per soft toy.(5) Current sales level of the soft toy is 300,000 units per annum. Apportioned
fixed costs per annum are Rs.4,500,000. The net profit per soft toy at thecurrent sales level is Rs.30.
Required:
Prepare an analysis which shows the estimated effect on annual profit if all threeproposals are implemented and which enables management to evaluate eachproposal. The proposals for plastic eyes and the use of scrap fabric should be
evaluated after the stitching elimination proposal has been evaluated. (11)

costs. The attributable fixed cost is avoidable if the related product is not
produced.

(a) Sales are influenced by advertising and can be increased upto 40% by
extensive advertising. However each 10% increase in sale would require a
75% increase in advertising expenditure.
(b) The sale of Caps or Crowns can be increased by reducing the production/sale
of the product Ring. However a reduction in sale of Ring by Re.1 would
generate a sale of 45 paisas of Caps or 50 paisas of Crowns sales. Thissubstitution will not entail any extra advertising expenditure.
The management is considering the following three options:
(i) To discontinue the product Ring and Pallets.(ii) To launch an advertising campaign which will increase the sale of each
product by 40%.
(iii) To substitute the sale of Rings with the sale of Caps or Crowns.Required:
Calculate the effect of each of the above options on the profitability of the
company. (25)
