Acme pickle account manager
write a 2-3 page supporting report.
Scenario
The Acme Pickle Company has distributed pickles under the "Florida's
Best" brand for eight years from its production facility in
Jacksonville, Florida. It sells the pickles to stores in the
southeastern United States. Acme normally produces between 8,000 and
10,000 cases of pickles a month but has the capacity to produce 12,000
cases without adding equipment or personnel.
Requirements
Your analysis for the Controller and Sales Manager is needed to suggest
a different way of calculating the pricing of the pickles that may be
lower. As part of your analysis, address the following items:
Explain why some production costs are variable and some are fixed.
Recommend a plan of action to management regarding Super Deals’ offer.
Below is the cost report for a recent month. In this month, Acme produced 9,000 cases and sold them at $20 per case, which is Acme's normal selling price. Nine thousand cases are well beyond Acme's break-even point, enabling Acme to record a substantial profit at the nine-thousand-case level.
