Bubbles Hot Tubs

Bubbles Hot Tubs are a business that manufactures and sells hot tubs to the UK market. At present the business manufactures three different types of hot tubs:

The selling prices for each of the hot tubs are priced competitively. Selling prices per hot tub are:

	Selling price
DUO	£1000.00
SQUARE	£2000.00
ROUND	£1500.00

The manufacturing cost is based on the materials used, labour costs and expenses incurred to produce each different type of hot tub.

Bubbles Hot Tubs manufactures the three different hot tubs in separate areas of the production facility as this saves on set up costs and idle time.

The manufacturing costs for the different types of hot tub are provided below:

	DUO	SQUARE	ROUND
Variable Costs:
Material cost per unit	£115	£400	£250
Labour cost per unit	£200	£400	£300
Expense cost per unit	£150	£250	£200
Fixed Costs:
Production overheads	£115000	£172500	£143000
Other overheads	£20500	£34000	29000
Budgeted capacity	2000	1000	1500

If actual production exceeds 70% of current budgeted capacity for any tub type, the material cost per tub will reduce by 10% due to supplier discounts. Production overheads cover the costs of the production supervisor, warehouse storage, rent, rates, utility bills and insurance, depreciation of machinery. The other overhead charge is to cover the advertising, selling and distribution costs and the product and public liability insurance.
