Body Time, Inc., produces two basic types of weight-lifting equipment, Model 9 and Model 14. Pertinent data are as follows: (Click the icon to view the data.) The weight-lifting craze suggests that Body Time can sell enough of either Model 9 or Model 14 to keep the plant operating at full capacity. Both products are processed through the same production departments. Read the requirements. Before determining which products to produce, let's calculate the contribution margin per unit and the contribution margin per machine hour for each machine. (Reduce the fixed manufacturing overhead to the lowest possible ratio of machine hours in order to calculate the contribution margin per machine hour. Example: 8:4 would be 2:1. Enter the amounts to the nearest cent.) Model 9 Model 14 Contribution margin per unit *** = Contribution margin per machine hour

The background info is provided in the image attached. Solve the following: a) Classify each cost element as either fixed, variable, or mixed. b) Calculate:i) the variable production cost per unit and the total fixed production overhead. ii) The total variable cost per unit and the total fixed costsHint: Use the high-low method to separate mixed costs into their fixed and variable components.
Lloyd Gettys, a client of Kevin Lomax, is considering two different processes to make his product—process 1 and process 2. Process 1 requires Lloyd to manufacture subcomponents of the product in-house. As a result, materials are less expensive, but fixed overhead is higher. Process 2 involves purchasing all subcomponents from outside suppliers. The direct materials costs are higher, but fixed factory overhead is considerably lower. Relevant data for a sales level of 30,000 units follow: Process 1 Process 2 Sales $8,010,000 $8,010,000 Variable expenses 2,700,000 4,200,000 Contribution margin $5,310,000 $3,810,000 Less total fixed expenses 3,650,625 1,428,750 Operating income $1,659,375 $2,381,250 Unit selling price $267 $267 Unit variable cost $90 $140 Unit contribution margin $177 $127 a.

Bonita, Inc. produces two types of gas grills: a family model and a deluxe model. Bonita's controller has decided to use a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor costs. The president of the company recently heard of activity-based costing and wants to see how the results would differ if this system were used. Two activity cost pools were developed: machining and machine setup. Presented below is information related to the company's operations: Direct labor costs Machine hours Setup hours (a) Family Model $76,800 2,000 200 Total estimated overhead costs are $460,800. Overhead cost allocated to the machining activity cost pool is $276,480 and $184,320 is allocated to the machine setup activity cost pool. Overhead rate Deluxe Model $153,600 2,000 800 Compute the overhead rate using the traditional (plantwide) approach. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.) $
Mary Jones and Jack Smart have joined forces to start M&J Food Products, a processor of packaged shredded lettuce for institutional use. Jack has years of food processing experience, and Mary has extensive commercial food preparation experience. The process will consist of opening crates of lettuce and then sorting, washing, slicing, preserving, and finally packaging the prepared lettuce. Together, with help from vendors, they think they can adequately estimate demand, fixed costs, revenues, and variable cost per 5-pound bag of lettuce. They think a largely manual process will have monthly fixed cost of $50,000 and a variable cost of $2.50 per bag. They expect to sell 75,000 bags of lettuce per month. They expect to sell the shredded lettuce for $3.25 per 5-pound bag. Jack and Mary has been contacted by a vendor to consider a more mechanized process. This new process will have monthly fixed cost of $125,000 per month with a variable cost of $1.75 per bag. Based on the above…
Paste Corporation has established new plant for the production of new product called “Diazinon”. There are two different manufacturing methods available to produce Diazinon. Either by using a process or an order base method. The assembling technique won't influence the quality or deals of the item. The evaluated manufacturing expenses of the two strategies are as per the following: Process base Order base Variable manufacturing cost per unit..................... Rs14.00 Rs.17.60 Fixed manufacturing cost per year ......................Rs. 2,440,000 Rs. 1,320,000 The organization's statistical surveying office has suggested an initial selling cost of Rs.35 per unit for Diazinon. The yearly fixed selling and admin costs of the Diazinon are Rs.500, 000. The variable selling and regulatory costs are Rs. 2 per unit. Required: CM ratio and variable expenses ratio.

A machine project is tasked to you, as shown below. Figure 1: Garbage Collection Robot Using Wireless Communication Technology (nevonprojects.com) 1. The actual machine will be mass-produced based on the machine in Figure 1. The tooling (fixtures, moulds & dies) is estimated at RM100,000 with expected product lifespan of 10,000 sets. Material cost is RM200 per set. Administration and overhead cost are at RM250,000 per year. Production planning per month for the machine is at 300 sets. Determine the machine cost per set.
Lelime Precision Tools makes cutting tools for metalworking operations. It makes two types of tools: A6, a regular cutting tool, and EX4, a high-precision cutting tool. A6 is manufactured on a regular machine, but EX4 must be manufactured on both the regular machine and a high-precision machine. The following information is available: (Click to view the information.) Read the requirements. Requirement 1. What product mix - that is, how many units of A6 and EX4 - will maximize Lelime's operating income? Show your calculations. (Enter an amount in each input cell including zero balances.)

ABC Company produces two products, Nifty and So-So, and uses a costing system in which all overhead is accumulated in a single cost pool and allocated based on machine hours. Blaine's management has decided to implement ABC because a cost study has revealed significant amounts of overhead cost related to setup activity and design activity. The number of setups and the number of design hours will be the activity drivers for the two new cost pools, and machine hours will continue as the base for allocating the remaining overhead. Selected information follows for ABC Company's most recent year of operations: A В ТОТAL UNITS PRODUCED 500 15,500 16,000 DIRECT MATERIAL COST PER UNIT $ 200.00 $ 20.00 ТОTAL 100,000.00 310,000.00 $ 410,000.00 MACHINE HOURS 3,000 47,000 50,000 DIRECT LABOR COST 2$ 50,000 $ 350,000 $ 400,000 SETUP 120 80 200 DESIGN HOURS 6,000 4,000 10,000 OVERHEAD SETUP RELATED $ 250,000 DESIGN RELATED 350,000 OTHERS 900,000 Calculate the total and per unit reported cost for the…
Green Shade manufactures insulated windows. The firm’s repair and maintenance (R&M) cost is mixed and varies most directly with machine hours worked. The following data (on the attached picture) have been gathered from recent operations: a. Use the high–low method to estimate a cost formula for repairs and maintenance. b. Use least squares regression to estimate a cost formula for repairs and maintenance. c. Does the answer to part (a) or to part (b) provide the better estimate of the relation ship between repairs and maintenance costs and machine hours? Why?
