| Hello, I am writing to you concerning the changes that your company is likely to face by changing the type of raw materials used in the production of goods. I have noted that whenever the company changes the type of raw materials used, there is a lot of expenses that are incurred in the process. The company suffers additional costs when they decide to change the raw materials. from the contribution income statement, the number of sales were reorded to be high whereas fixed costs saw an increase by $25,000. one advantsge of using a different raw material is that it can lead to more sales. i realise that there was a reduction in sales whenever, the variable material cost were reduced. the operational income of the company was found to be $217,000 per month which is lower. moreover the change of of suppliers can lead to operational complications. |
