. Planet Light First (PLF), a producer of energy-efficient light bulbs, expects unat demand will increase markedly over the next decade. Due to the high fixed costs involved in the business, PLF has decided to evaluate its financial performance using absorption costing income. The production-volume variance is written off to cost of goods sold. The variable cost of production is $2.40 per bulb. Fixed manufacturing costs are $1,170,000 per year. Variable and fixed selling and administrative expenses are $0.20 per bulb sold and $220,000, respec- tively. Because its light bulbs are currently popular with environmentally conscious customers, PLF can sell the bulbs for $9.80 each. PLF is deciding among various concepts of capacity for calculating the cost of each unit produced. Its choices are as follows: Theoretical capacity Practical capacity Normal capacity Master-budget capacity 900,000 bulbs 520,000 bulbs 260,000 bulbs (average expected output for the next three years) 225,000 bulbs expected production this year

Show the comparison of cost between Activity-based-costing and traditional costing system and percentage of variation in manufacturing cost for each product.
Discuss the difference between cost accumulation, tracing and allocation. Since all manufacturing cost are eventually included in the unit cost of a product, what difference does it make? Discuss why the distinction matter in the calculation of CVP or other metrics.
The direct costs of materials that change with the number of units produced is an example of a fixed production cost. True or false
With respect to cost classifications for manufacturers:a. What is the total manufacturing cost?b. What is the total nonmanufacturing cost?c. What is the total conversion cost and prime cost?
What information is contained in a production report? What are equivalent units and how would a company calculate them? How does the production report and equivalent units relate to unit costs?
Required: Compute the unit product cost under absorption costing. Compute the unit product cost under variable costing.
Please organize the list (picture) into the corresponding categories: Product Cost: Direct Materials Product Cost: Direct Labor Product Cost: Manufacturing Overhead Period Cost: Selling Expense Period Cost: Administrative Expense
1. Determine the equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion. 2.Compute both the direct material cost and the conversion cost per equivalent unit.
Classify each cost element as either fixed, variable or mixed Calculate: the variable production cost per unit and the total fixed production overhead Calculate the total variable cost per unit and the total fixed costs
Use the cost per equivalent unit to assign costs to the work completed during the period.
When computing the cost per equivalent unit under the wighted-average method of process costing, the cost per equivalent unit for direct material is computed by dividing the total direct-material cost by the total equivalent units. True or False?
A direct material standard cost is? The cost of direct materials that should be incurred to produce one unit of output or product. The cost of all materials and supplies used to produce one unit of output or product. The price that should be spent to purchase each unit of direct material for production. The amount of direct materials that should be used to produce one unit of output or product.
