Question 1)
Computate Inc. produces microprocessors for laptops. Last year, the company recognized revenues of $4,000,000. Total costs for the period were $2,000,000, of which $500,000 were fixed.
If sales were to increase by $150,000, by how much would Computate’s operating income increase?
The Operating Income would increase by $93,750
Total Revenue = $4,000,000
Total costs = $2,000,000
Fixed costs = $500,000
Increase in sales = $150,000
Variable Costs:
= Total costs – Fixed costs
= 2,000,000 – 500,000
= 1,500,000
Variable Cost per Unit of Sales:
= Variable Costs / Total Revenue
= 2,000,000 / 4,000,000
= 0.375
= 37.5%
Additional Variable Costs Incurred:
= Variable Cost per Unit of Sales x Sales Increase
= 37.5% x 150,000
= $56,250
Operating Income:
= Increase in Sales – Additional Variable Costs
= 150,000 – 56,250
= 93,750
Question 2)
Premier Printing produces custom labels and stationary for companies. In conducting CVP analysis of its Personalized Package, management decided to determine how many of the
packages would need to be sold in order to justify continuing the product line. Management determined that fixed costs direct related to this particular product amounted to $27,000 annually. Premier reported $120,000 of gross sales related to this product and variable product costs of $90,000.
Assuming that each Personalized Package sells for $12 per unit, what is the minimum number of Personalized Packages that Premier needs to sell to break even and therefore justify the product line?
Fixed costs = $27,000
Gross sales = $120,000
Variable costs = $90,000
Selling price per unit = $12
Variable Cost per Unit of Sales:
= Variable costs / Gross sales
= $90,000 / $120,000
= $0.75
Contribution Margin per Unit:
= Selling price per unit – Variable cost per unit of sale
= $12 – $0.75
= $11.25
Break-Even Point in Units:
= Fixed costs / Contribution Margin per Unit
= $27,000 / $11.25
= 2,400
Premier needs to sell approximately 2,400 personalized packages to break even and therefore justify the product line. This is the minimum number of units that need to be sold to cover the fixed costs. After selling these units, the company would start making a profit. Question 3)
Jaroni Inc. produces specialty quilts and blankets using a partly manual, partly automated manufacturing process. Total sales for the previous period were $60,000. Wages, materials, and variable manufacturing overhead totaled $10,200. Salaries, depreciation, rent, and other fixed expenses amounted to $14,940. Jaroni charges $500 per customized blanket.
What is Jaroni's break-even point in Sales Dollars?
Sales = $60,000
Total Variable Costs = $10,200
Contribution Margin:
= Sales - Total Variable Costs = $60,000 - $10,200
= $49,800
CM Ratio:
= (Contribution Margin / Sales) x 100
= ($49,800 / $60,000) x 100
= 0.83 x 100
= 83%
Fixed Costs = $14,940
Break-Even Point in Sales Dollars:
= Fixed Costs / CM Ratio
= $14,940 / 83%
= $18,000
Jaroni Inc. would need to make $18,000 in sales to cover all their fixed and variable costs and to start making a profit.
Question 4)
Rough N' Tough (RNT) manufactures outdoors accessories. Management is considering producing the poles for their tents rather than continuing to purchase from their current supplier. The supplier charges $60 per set of poles.
The cost accounting team has estimated that RNT would incur the following costs if they were to produce the poles instead: $40 per set for direct materials, $10 per set for direct labor, $7 per set for variable overhead, and $20 per set for fixed overhead application.
RNT currently has unused production capacity and manufacturing equipment that could be used to manufacture the poles. RNT has planned to sell 5,000 tents this year.
What would the change in overall cost be for the company if RNT produced the poles rather than purchasing them?
The cost of manufacturing a set of poles:

= direct materials cost + direct labor cost + variable overhead cost + fixed overhead application cost
= 40 + 10 + 7 + 20 = $77
The cost of buying a set of poles from supplier = $60
The total cost if the poles are purchased from the supplier would be:
= $60 * 5,000
= $300,000
The total cost if the poles are produced in house would be:
= $77 * 50 = $385,000
The change in overall cost if RNT produced the poles rather than purchasing them would be:
= $385,000 - $300,000 = $85,000
If RNT decides to produce the poles in-house instead of purchasing them from the
supplier, it would result in an increase in overall cost by $85,000. Question 5)
Scholar Suppliers manufactures backpacks for students. The backpacks come in two sizes: Small, and Large. Scholar Suppliers anticipates the following sales volumes and prices for the coming period:
Size
Sales Volume
Selling Price
Small
3,000 backpacks
$25 each
Large
6,000 backpacks
$75 each
What is the budgeted level of revenue for the coming period?
Total revenue of small backpacks:
= sales volume * selling price
= 3,000 * $25
= $75,000
Total revenue of large backpacks:
= sales volume * selling price
= 6,000 * $75
= $450,000
Total Budgeted Level of Revenue:
= total revenue of small backpacks + total revenue of large backpacks
= $75,000 + $450,000
= $525,000
The total budgeted level of revenue for the coming period would be $525,000. Question 6)
Public Manufacturing Company (PMC) is preparing their budgeted financial statements for the coming year, and has accumulated the following data:
Beginning-of-period balances:

Direct Labor Wages
$340,000
Manufacturing Overhead
$1,400,000
Selling and Administrative Expenses
$1,300,000
What is the budgeted cash received from customers?
Beginning Accounts Receivable = $50,000
Sales = 12,000 units * $300/unit = $3,600,000
Ending Accounts Receivable = $55,000
Cash Received from Customers:
= Beginning Accounts Receivable + Sales – Ending Accounts Receivable
= $50,000 + $3,600,000 – $55,000
= $3,595,000
The budgeted cash that PMC expects to receive from its customers in the coming year is $3,595,000. Question 7) Assume the following information for Jenkins Inc.:
Total flexible budget direct materials costs:
$5,000
Standard quantity of direct materials per unit:
40 items
Budgeted production:
300 units
Total actual direct materials costs:
$4,500
Actual quantity of direct materials per unit:
42 items
Actual production:
250 units
What is Jenkins’ direct materials efficiency variance? (do not round intermediate calculations, round final answer to the nearest cent)
Standard Quantity:
= 40 items/unit * 250 units
= 10,000 items

= Total flexible budget direct materials costs / (Standard quantity of direct materials per unit
* budgeted production)
= 5,000 / (40 * 300)
= 0.416667 Direct Materials Efficiency Variance:
= (Actual Quantity Used * Standard Price) – (Standard Quantity * Standard Price)
= (10,500 * 0.416667) – (10,000 * 0.416667)
= 4375.04 – 4166.67
= $208.37 Unfavorable
Question 8)
Assume the following information for Webster Company:
Beginning Raw Materials Inventory (Quantity):
200 items
Budgeted Ending Raw Materials Inventory (Quantity):
200 items
Budgeted direct materials (Purchased):
$7,000
Standard quantity of direct materials per unit:
20 items
Budgeted production:
100 units
Actual Ending Raw Materials Inventory (Quantity):
175 items
Actual direct materials costs (Purchased):
$7,500
Actual quantity of direct materials used per unit:
19 items
Actual production:
150 units
What is Webster’s direct materials price variance? (do not round intermediate calculations, round final answer to the nearest cent)
Budget:
Budgeted quantity used in production = Budgeted production x Standard quantity of direct materials per unit
= 100 units * 20 items
= 2,000 items
Budgeting quantity purchased = Budgeted quantity used in production + Budgeted ending raw materials inventory – Beginning raw materials inventory
= 2,000 + 200 – 200
= 2,000 items
Standard price per item = Budgeted direct materials (purchased) / (Standard quantity of direct materials per unit * Budgeted production)
= 7,000 / (20 * 100)
= $3.50
Actual:
Actual quantity used in production = Actual production x Actual quantity of direct materials used per unit = 150 units x 19 items = 2850 items
Actual quantity purchased = Actual quantity used in production + Actual ending raw materials inventory – Beginning raw materials inventory = 2850 + 175 – 200 = 2825 items
Actual price (purchased) per item = Actual direct materials cost (purchased)/Actual quantity purchases = $7500/2825 items = $2.654867256
Direct Materials Price Variance = (Actual quantity purchased x Actual price) – (Actual quantity purchased x Standard price) = $7500 - (2825 x $3.50) = $7500 - $9887.50 = $2387.50 Favorable
Webster’s direct materials price variance is $2,562.50 Favorable.
Question 9) The following information is provided for Dexter, Inc.:
Standard direct labor wage rate:
$10/hour
Standard direct labor hours per unit of output:
5 hours/unit
Budgeted Production:
5,000 units
Actual direct labor hours per unit of output:
5 hours/unit
Actual direct labor wage rate:
$11.50/hour
Actual Production:
4,900 units
What is the direct labor rate variance?
Actual Hours Worked:
= Actual direct labor hours per unit of output * Actual Production
= 5 * 4,900
= 24,500 hours
Standard cost of direct labor:
= Standard direct labor wage rate * Standard direct labor hours per unit
= $10/hour * 5 hours/unit = $50/unit
Direct Labor Rate Variance:
= (Actual Hours Worked * Standard Wage Rate) - (Actual Hours Worked * Actual Wage Rate)
= (24,500 * $10) - (24,500 * $11.50) = $245,000 - $281,750 = $36,750 Unfavorable
The direct labor rate variance for Dexter, Inc. is $36,750 Unfavorable.

Question 10)
The following information is provided for Dexter, Inc.:
Standard direct labor wage rate:
$10/hour
Standard direct labor hours per unit of output:
5 hours/unit
Budgeted Production:
5,000 units
Actual direct labor hours per unit of output:
5 hours/unit
Actual direct labor wage rate:
$11.50/hour
Actual Production:
4,900 units
What is
the direct labor efficiency variance
?
Actual hours:
= Actual production * Actual direct labor hours per unit of output = 4900 * 5
= 24,500 hours Standard hours:
= Actual production * Standard direct labor hours per unit of output
= 4900 * 5
= 24,500 hours
Direct labor efficiency variance:
= Standard direct labor wage rate * (Actual hours – Standard hours)
= $10 * (24,500 – 24,500)
= $0
The direct labor efficiency variance for Dexter Company is $0.
