Chart Hills Company makes customized golf shirts for sale to golf courses. Each shirt requires 3 hours to produce because of the customized logo for each golf course. Chart Hills uses direct labor-hours to allocate the overhead cost to production. Fixed overhead costs, including rent, depreciation, supervisory salaries, and other production expenses, are budgeted at $28,500 per month. The facility currently used is large enough to produce 5,000 shirts per month. During March, Chart Hills produced 4,200 shirts and actual fixed costs were $28,000.
Q.An unfavorable production-volume variance could be interpreted as the economic cost of unused capacity. Why would Chart Hills be willing to incur this cost?
