Hill industries had sales in 2019 of $6,800,000 and gross profit of $1,100,000. management is considering two alternative budget plans to increase its gross profit in 2020. prepare sales and production budgets and compute cost per unit under two plans. plan a would increase the selling price per unit from $8.00 to $8.40. sales volume would decrease by 10% from its 2019 level. plan b would decrease the selling price per unit by $0.50. the marketing department expects that the sales volume would increase by 100,000 units. at the end of 2019, hill has 40,000 units of inventory on hand. if plan a is accepted, the 2020 ending inventory should be equal to 5% of the 2020 sales. if plan b is accepted, the ending inventory should be equal to 60,000 units. each unit produced will cost $1.80 in direct labor, $1.40 in direct materials, and $1.20 in variable overhead. the fixed overhead for 2020 should be $1,895,000. instructions
a. prepare a sales budget for 2020 under each plan.
b. prepare a production budget for 2020 under each plan.
