Box Springs. Inc., makes two sizes of box springs: queen and king. The direct material for the queen is $35 per unit and $55 is used in direct labor, while the direct material for the king is $55 per unit, and the labor cost is $70 per unit. Box Springs estimates it will make 4,300 queens and 3,000 kings in the next year. It estimates the overhead for each cost pool and cost driver activities as follows: How much does each unit cost to manufacture?
The following product Costs are available for Haworth Company on the production of chairs: direct materials, $15,500; direct labor, $22.000; manufacturing overhead, $16.500; selling expenses, $6,900; and administrative expenses, $15,200. What are the prime costs? What are the conversion costs? What is the total product cost? What is the total period cost? If 7,750 equivalent units are produced, what is the equivalent material cost per unit? If 22,000 equivalent units are produced, what is the equivalent conversion cost per unit?
Bobcat uses a traditional cost system and estimates next years overhead will be $800.000, as driven by the estimated 25,000 direct labor hours. It manufactures three products and estimates the following costs: If the labor rate is $30 per hour, what is the per-unit cost of each product?

Colonels uses a traditional cost system and estimates next years overhead will be $480,000, with the estimated cost driver of 240,000 direct labor hours. It manufactures three products and estimates these costs: If the labor rate is $25 per hour, what is the per-unit cost of each product?
Natur-Gro, Inc., manufactures composters. Based on past experience, Natur-Gro has found that its total annual overhead costs can be represented by the following formula: Overhead cost = 264,000 + 1.42X, where X equals number of composters. Last year, Natur-Gro produced 30,000 composters. Actual overhead costs for the year were as expected. Total overhead for per unit was a. 1.42 b. 8.80 c. 11.63 d. 10.22
Wyandotte Company provided the following information for the last calendar year: During the year, direct materials purchases amounted to 256,900, direct labor cost was 176,000, and overhead cost was 308,400. There were 40,000 units produced. Required: 1. Calculate the total cost of direct materials used in production. 2. Calculate the cost of goods manufactured. Calculate the unit manufacturing cost. 3.

SmokeCity, Inc., manufactures barbeque smokers. Based on past experience, SmokeCity has found that its total annual overhead costs can be represented by the following formula: Overhead cost = 543,000 + 1.34X, where X equals number of smokers.

RampUp Storage Containers produces a 1,000-cubic-foot metal storage unit that is used by storage companies and other businesses needing low-cost, mobile storage units. The units sell for $3,000 per unit. The company uses a standard costing system. At the start of 2016, standard costs were set as follows: Standard cost per unit: $1,200 Material cost (6 prefabricated metal sheets × $200) Direct labor (10 hours × $20) 200 Overhead ($500 per unit) 500 Total $1,900 The overhead rate was calculated as follows: At the start of 2016, the company estimated that it would produce and sell 5,000 units and incur $500,000 of variable overhead costs and $2,000,000 of fixed overhead costs: Variable overhead Fixed overhead $ 500,000 2,000,000 2,500,000 5,000 Total Divided by estimated production Overhead cost per unit $ 500 Based on estimated sales, standard costs, and other information, the following budget was pre- pared: 2016 Budget (Expected Production and Sales of 5,000 Units) Sales $15,000,000…

Connected Technologies, Inc. has been purchasing carrying cases for its portable tablets at a delivered cost of $26.00 per unit. The company, which is currently operating below full capacity, charges factory overhead to production at a rate of 55% of direct labor cost. The total unit costs to produce comparable carrying cases are expected to be as follows: Direct materials $ 8.00 Direct Labor $ 13.00 Factory overhead (55% of direct labor) $ 7.15 Total cost per unit $ 28.15 If Connected Technologies manufactures the carrying cases, fixed factory overhead costs will not increase and variable factory overhead costs associated with the cases are expected to be 25% of the direct labor costs. Prepare a differential analysis report for the make-or-buy decision. On the basis of the data presented, would it be advisable to make the carrying cases or to continue…
Sardi Inc. is considering whether to continue to make a component or to buy it from an outside supplier. The company uses 13,100 of the components each year. The unit product cost of the component according to the company's cost accounting system is given as follows: Direct materials $ 8.90 Direct labor 5.90 Variable manufacturing overhead 1.70 Fixed manufacturing overhead 3.70 Unit product cost $ 20.20 Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. Of the fixed manufacturing overhead, 20% is avoidable if the component were bought from the outside supplier. In addition, making the component uses 2 minutes on the machine that is the company's current constraint. If the component were bought, time would be freed up for use on another product that requires 4 minutes on this machine and that has a contribution margin of $5.30 per unit. When deciding whether to make or buy the component, what cost of making the component should be compared to the…
