Activity-Based Supplier Costing Clearsound uses Alpha Electronics and La Paz Company to buy two electronic components used in the manufacture of its cell phones: Component 125X and Component 30Y. Consider two activities: testing components and reordering components. After the two components are inserted, testing is done to ensure that the two components in the phones are working properly. Reordering occurs because one or both of the components have failed the test and it is necessary to replenish component inventories Activity cost information and other data needed for supplier costing are as follows: I. Activity Costs Caused by Suppliers (testing failures and reordering as a result) Activity Costs Testing components $1,200,000 Reordering components 300,000 II.

Joint cost allocation — physical units method Board-It, Inc., produces the following types of 2 × 4 × 10 wood boards: washed, stained, and pressure treated. These products are produced jointly until they are cut. One batch produces 50 washed boards, 40 stained boards, and 10 pressure treated boards. The joint production process costs a total of $800 per batch. This information has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file. Open the spreadsheet, perform the required analysis, and input your answers in the question below.

Joint Cost Allocation-Weighted Average Method Konami Code Gaming produces two types of high-end gaming controllers, one with a casing made of a polymer that looks like walnut wood and another with a casing made with a polymer that looks like red oak. The casings are made through a joint production molding process that produces 294 red oak casings and 252 walnut casings at the split-off point. The polymer for the red oak casings requires twice as much cooling time as the polymer for the walnut casings, although all casings are removed from the joint molding process at the same time (i.e., once the cooling for the red oak casings is complete). The joint production process costs a total of $5,000. Assuming the company allocates joint costs using the weighted average method based on the required cooling time of the two joint products, determine the amount of joint production costs allocated to each type of casing using the weighted average method. Joint Product Red oak casing Walnut casing…
Julio produces two types of calculator, standard and deluxe. The company is currently using a traditional costing system with machine hours as the cost driver but is considering a move to activity-based costing. In preparing for the possible switch, Julio has identified two cost pools: materials handling and setup. The collected data follow: Standard Model Deluxe Model Number of machine hours 25,800 30,800 Number of material moves Number of setups 590 890 70 540 Total estimated overhead costs are $347,100, of which $170,200 is assigned to the material handling cost pool and $176,900 is assigned to the setup cost pool. Required: 1. Calculate the overhead assigned to each product using the traditional cost system. 2. Calculate the overhead assigned to each product using ABC.

The jarvis corporation produces bucket loader assemblies for the tractor industry. The product has a long term life expectancy. Jarvis has a traditional manufacturing and inventory system. Jarvis is considering the installation of a just-in-time inventory system to improve its cost structure. In doing a full study using its manufacturing engineering team as well as consulting with industry JIT experts and the main vendors and suppliers of the components Jarvis uses to manufacture the bucket loader assemblies, the following incremental cost-benefit relevant information is available for analysis: The Jarvis cost of investment capital hurdle rate is 15%. One time cost to rearrange the shop floor to create the manufacturing cell workstations is $275,000. One time cost to retrain the existing workforce for the JIT required skills is $60,000. Anticipated defect reduction is 40%. Currently there is a cost of quality defect assessment listed as $150,000 per year. The setup time for…

Target costs, effect of process-design changes on service costs. Solar Energy Systems (SES) sells solar heating systems in residential areas of eastern Pennsylvania. A successful sale results in the homeowner purchasing a solar heating system and obtaining rebates, tax credits, and nancing for which SES completes all the paperwork. The company has identied three major activities that drive the cost of selling heating systems: identifying new contacts (varies with the number of new contacts); traveling to and between appointments (varies with the number of miles driven); and preparing and ling rebates and tax forms (varies with the number of solar systems sold). Actual costs for each of these activities in 2016 and 2017 are:
