2) Minnesota Office Products (MOP) produces three different paper products at its Vaasa lumber plant: Supreme, Deluxe, and Regular. Each product has its own dedicated production line at the plant. It currently uses the following three-part classification for its manufacturing costs: direct materials, direct manufacturing labor, and manufacturing overhead costs. Total manufacturing overhead costs of the plant in July 2011 are $150 million ($15 million of which are fixed). This total amount is allocated to each product line on the basis of the direct manufacturing labor costs of each line. Summary data (in millions) for July 2011 are as follows: Supreme Deluxe Regular Direct material costs $89 $ 57 $ 60 Direct manufacturing labor costs $ 16 $ 26 $ 8 Manufacturing overhead costs $ 48 $ 78 $ 24 Units produced 125 150 140 a. Compute the manufacturing cost per unit for each product produced in July 2011. b. Suppose that in August 2011, production was 150 million units of Supreme, 190 million units of Deluxe, and 220 million units of Regular. Why might the July 2011 information on manufacturing cost per unit be misleading when predicting total manufacturing costs in August 2011?

Lawn Products produces two products (X and Y) and a by-product (Z) from a joint process using a raw material (Alpha). The company chooses to allocate the costs on the basis of the physical quantities method. Last month, it processed 23,000 pounds of Alpha at a total cost of $99,000. The output of the process consisted of 28,800 units of product X, 35,200 units of product Y, and 7,100 units of by-product Z. By-product Z can be sold for $12,000. This is considered to be its net realizable value, which is deducted from the processing costs of the main products. Required: What amount of joint costs should be assigned to each of product X and product Y? Product X Product Y Joint Costs

Supler Corporation produces a part used in the manufacture of one of its products. The unit product cost is $21, computed as follows: Direct materials $ 8 Direct labor 7 Variable manufacturing overhead 1 Fixed manufacturing overhead 5 Unit product cost $ 21 An outside supplier has offered to provide the annual requirement of 5,500 of the parts for only $13 each. The company estimates that 60% of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost above could be eliminated if the parts are purchased from the outside supplier. Assume that direct labor is an avoidable cost in this decision. Based on these data, the costs saved by purchasing the units of purchasing the parts from the outside supplier would be: Multiple Choice $1 per unit on average ($8) per unit on average $6 per unit on average ($1) per unit on average
