Question

Comprehensive operating budget. Skulas, Inc., manufactures and sells snowboards. Skulas manufactures a single model, the Pipex. In late 2017, Skulas’s management accountant gathered the following data to prepare budgets for January 2018:

Materials and Labor Requirement

Direct Materials

Wood                                           9 Boards Feet (b.f.) per snowboard

Fiberglass                                    10 Yards per snowboard

Direct manufacturing labor          5 hours per snowboard

Skulas’s CEO expects to sell 2,900 snowboards during January 2018 at an estimated retail price of $650 per board. Further, the CEO expects 2018 beginning inventory of 500 snowboards and would like to end January 2018 with 200 snowboards in stock.

Direct Materials Inventories

            Begining Inventory 1/1/2018    Ending Inventory 1/31/2018

Wood                2,040 b.f.                                 1,540 b.f.

Fiberglass          1,040 yards                              2,040 yards

Alternative Text Variable manufacturing overhead is $7 per direct manufacturing labor-hour. There are also $81,000 in fixed manufacturing overhead costs budgeted for January 2018. Skulas combines both variable and fixed manufacturing overhead into a single rate based on direct manufacturing labor-hours. Variable marketing costs are allocated at the rate of $250 per sales visit. The marketing plan calls for 38 sales visits during January 2018. Finally, there are $35,000 in fixed nonmanufacturing costs budgeted for January 2018.

Other data include:

                                     2017 Unit Price                      2018 Unit Price

Wood                           $32.00 per b.f.                         $34.00 per b.f.

Fiberglass                    $8.00 per yard                        $9.00 per yar

Direct manu. labor        $28.00 per hour                   $29.00 per hour

The inventoriable unit cost for ending finished-goods inventory on December 31, 2017, is $374.80. Assume Skulas uses a FIFO inventory method for both direct materials and finished goods. Ignore work in process in your calculations.
