Trusted Products Company

Was Trusted Products Company's strategy successful in 2019?

B) No, because operating income decreased

Explanation:

a) Trusted Products Company's Income Statements for 2018 and 2019:

2018 2019

Sales $9,610,000 $9,169,800

Direct Materials costs (3,332,000) (3,474,000)

Conversion Costs (1,162,500) (1,120,500)

Operating net income $5,115,500 $4,575,300

b) Sales:

2018 = 31,000 x $310 = $9,610,000

2019 = 31,620 x $290 = $9,169,800

c) Direct Materials Costs:

2018 = 98,000 x $34 = $3,332,000

2019 = 96,500 x $36 = $3,474,000

d) Conversion Costs:

2018 = $1,162,500; per capacity unit = $1,162,500/38,750 = $30

2019 = $1,120,500; per capacity unit = $1,120,500/37,350 = $30

e) Goal for 2019: Reduce direct materials usage per unit.

Direct materials usage per unit:

2018 = 98,000/31,000 = 3.16 square feet

2019 = 96,500/31,620 = 3.05 square feet

f) The goal of a reduction in direct materials usage per unit was achieved, as 2019's usage reduced to 3.05 square feet as against 2018's 3.16 square feet. However, this did not translate to success because of the reduced selling price and the increased cost of direct materials. These resulted in reduced net operating income from $5,115,500 in 2018 to $4,575,300 in 2019.
