Futura Company purchases the 73,000 starters that it installs in its standard line of farm tractors from a supplier for the price of $11.00 per unit. Due to a reduction in output, the company now has idle capacity that could be used to produce the starters rather than buying them from an outside supplier. However, the company's chief engineer is opposed to making the starters because the production cost per unit is $11.90 as shown below: Per Unit Total Direct materials Direct labor Supervision Depreciation Variable manufacturing overhead 3.00 1.90 $138, 700 1.20 $ 87,600 0.50 0.30 $ 21,900 $11.90 Rent Total product cost If Futura decides to make the starters, a supervisor would have to be hired (at a salary of $138,700) to oversee production. However, the company has sufficient idle tools and machinery such that no new equipment would have to be purchased. The rent charge above is based on space utilized in the plant. The total rent on the plant is $80,000 per period. Depreciation is…
Eastern Auto Parts Company manufactures replacement parts for automobile repair. The company recently installed a flexible manufacturing system, which has significantly changed the production pro-cess. The installation of the new FMS was not anticipated when the current year’s budget and cost struc-ture were developed. The installation of the new equipment was hastened by several major breakdowns in the company’s old production machinery. The new equipment was very expensive, but management expects it to cut the labor time required by a substantial amount. Management also expects the new equipment to allow a reduction in direct-material waste. On the negative side, the FMS requires a more highly skilled labor force to operate it than the company’s old equipment. The following cost variance report was prepared for the month of July, the first full month after the equipment was installed.

Asbury Coffee Enterprises (ACE) manufactures two models of coffee grinders: Personal and Commercial. The Personal grinders have a smaller capacity and are less durable than the Commercial grinders. ACE only recently began producing the Commercial model. Since the introduction of the new product, profits have been steadily declining, although sales have been increasing. The management at ACE believes that the problem might be in how the accounting system allocates costs to products. The current system at ACE allocates manufacturing overhead to products based on direct labor costs. For the most recent year, which is representative, manufacturing overhead totaled $2,037,000 based on production of 30,000 Personal grinders and 10,000 Commercial grinders. Direct costs were as follows: Personal Commercial Total Direct materials $ 1,445,000 $ 620,000 $ 2,065,000 Direct labor 1,030,000 667,500 1,697,500 Management has determined that overhead costs are caused by three cost…
For many years, Thomson Company manufactured a single product called LEC 40. Then three years ago, the company automated a portion of its plant and at the same time introduced a second product called LEC 90 that has become increasingly popular. The LEC 90 is a more complex product, requiring 0.60 hours of direct labor time per unit to manufacture and extensive machining in the automated portion of the plant. The LEC 40 requires only 0.20 hours of direct labor time per unit and only a small amount of machining. Manufacturing overhead costs are currently assigned to products on the basis of direct labor-hours. Despite the growing popularity of the company’s new LEC 90, profits have been declining steadily. Management is beginning to believe that there may be a problem with the company’s costing system. Direct material and direct labor costs per unit are as follows: LEC 40 LEC 90 Direct materials $ 28.00 $ 46.00 Direct labor (0.20 hours and 0.60 hours @ $20.00 per hour) $…

Goshford Company produces a single product and has capacity to produce 100,000 units per month. Costs to produce its current sales of 80,000 units follow. The regular selling price of the product is $100 per unit. Management is approached by a new customer who wants to purchase 20,000 units of the product for $75 per unit. If the order is accepted, there will be no additional fixed manufacturing overhead and no additional fixed selling and administrative expenses. The customer is not in the company’sregular selling territory, so there will be a $5 per unit shipping expense in addition to the regular variable selling and administrative expenses. Determine whether management should accept or reject the new business.
Carrie Construction (CC) is a company specializing in building airport runways and major highways. As a part of its business, it receives supplies of aggregate (stone, sand, gravel, and so on) from two suppliers: Austin Aggregate and Granger Materials. The CC purchasing department has a preference for buying from Granger based on price but occasionally has to order from Austin when Granger cannot fill the order. Carrie Construction has recently had problems with the quality and the timeliness of deliveries. When a supplier delivers a load to CC, it goes through an initial inspection to assure it meets specification. If the load fails the initial inspection, it goes through a secondary inspection to determine the exact issue. Almost always, the issue can be resolved and the load can be used. The initial inspection costs $3,000 per load. A secondary inspection, which is more thorough, costs $15,000 per load. If a delivery is delayed, Carrie has to hire temporary workers or pay overtime…
Michelin is considering going “lights out” in the mixing area of the business that operates 24/7. Currently, personnel with a loaded cost of $600,000 per year are used to manually weigh real rubber, synthetic rubber, carbon black, oils, and other components prior to manual insertion in a Banbary mixer that provides a homogeneous blend of rubber for making tires (rubber products). New technology is available that has the reliability and consistency desired to equal or exceed the quality of blend now achieved manually. It requires an investment of $2.5 million, with $110,000 per year operational costs and will replace all of the manual effort described above. The planning horizon is 8 years and there will be a $300,000 salvage value at that time for the new technology. The income-tax rate is 25% and the after-tax MARR is 10%. Determine the annual cost of purchasing the new technology and the EUAC of the two scenarios
Intercontinental Chemical Company, located in Buenos Aires, Argentina, recently received an order for a product it does not normally produce. Since the company has excess production capacity, management is considering accepting the order. In analyzing the decision, the assistant controller is compiling the relevant costs of producing the order. Production of the special order would require 8,000 kilograms of theolite. Intercontinental does not use theolite for its regular product, but the firm has 8,000 kilograms of the chemical on hand from the days when it used theolite regularly. The theolite could be sold to a chemical wholesaler for 14,500 p. The book value of the theolite is 2.00 p per kilogram. Intercontinental could buy theolite for 2.40 p per kilogram. ( p denotes the peso, Argentina’s national monetary unit. Many countries use the peso as their unit of currency. On the day this exercise was written, Argentina’speso was worth .104 U.S. dollar.)

Alexandria Ltd. manufactures high-quality pens. For many years the company manufactured only one type of pen (namely, ballpoint pens) but last year the company also began to manufacture fountain pens. The decision to begin manufacturing fountain pens was taken only after the company’s marketing manager confirmed that there was a significant niche market for fountain pens and the company’s cost accountant estimated that the cost of production for such pens would be much less than the selling price predicted by the marketing manager. When the fountain pen was introduced, sales (in terms of both quantity and price) were higher than expected. Nevertheless the overall profits of Alexandria Ltd. have declined steadily. As a result, the cost accountant decided that he should re-examine his estimate of the cost of producing the fountain pen, with particular reference to overhead costs. In his original analysis, he allocated all manufacturing overhead costs to products in proportion to direct…
