Hill Industries had sales in 2019 of $7,600,000 and gross profit of $1,199,000. Management is considering two alternative budget plans to increase its gross profit in 2020. 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 107,000 units. At the end of 2019, Hill has 48,000 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 64,000 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 $1,767,480. Prepare a sales budget for 2020 under each plan.

The plastic flowerpots company has two manufacturing departments, molding and packaging. at the beginning of the month, the molding department has 2,100 units in inventory, 70% complete as to materials. during the month, the molding department started 18,500 units. at the end of the month, the molding department had 3,150 units in ending inventory, 80% complete as to materials. units completed in the molding department are transferred into the packaging department. cost information for the molding department for the month follows: beginning work in process inventory (direct materials) $ 1,300 direct materials added during the month 28,900 using the weighted-average method, compute the molding department's (a) equivalent units of production for materials and (b) cost per equivalent unit of production for materials for the month. (round "cost per equivalent unit of production" to 2 decimal places.)
