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

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…

Please help me set this equation up. Kearney, Inc., makes kitchen tools. Company management believes that a new model of coffee grinder would sell well at a price of $66. The company estimates unit materials costs to be $16 for the model, and overhead costs would average $18 per unit. The local wage rate for direct labor is $28 per hour. Kearney has a goal of earning an operating profit of 20 percent of manufacturing costs for each of its products. Required: What direct labor-hour input (hours per unit) could Kearney allow and still achieve its profit goal?
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.
Nutterco, Inc., produces two types of nut butter: peanut butter and cashew butter. Of the two,peanut butter is the more popular. Cashew butter is a specialty line using smaller jars and fewerjars per case. Data concerning the two products follow: Annual overhead costs are listed below. These costs are classified as fixed or variable with respect to the appropriate activity driver. Required:1. Prepare a traditional segmented income statement, using a unit-level overhead rate based ondirect labor hours. Using this approach, determine whether the cashew butter product lineshould be kept or dropped.2. Prepare an activity-based segmented income statement. Repeat the keep-or-drop analysisusing an ABC approach.
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…
