Sanford, Inc., has developed value-added standards for four activities: purchasing parts, receiving parts, moving parts, and setting up equipment. The activities, the activity drivers, the standard and actual quantities, and the price standards for 20x1 are as follows: The actual prices paid per unit of each activity driver were equal to the standard prices. Required: 1. Prepare a cost report that lists the value-added, non-value-added, and actual costs for each activity. 2. Which activities are non-value-added? Explain why. Also, explain why value-added activities can have non-value-added costs.
Larsen, Inc., produces two types of electronic parts and has provided the following data: There are four activities: machining, setting up, testing, and purchasing. Required: 1. Calculate the activity consumption ratios for each product. 2. Calculate the consumption ratios for the plantwide rate (direct labor hours). When compared with the activity ratios, what can you say about the relative accuracy of a plantwide rate? Which product is undercosted? 3. What if the machine hours were used for the plantwide rate? Would this remove the cost distortion of a plantwide rate?
The management of Wheeler Company has decided to develop cost formulas for its major overhead activities. Wheeler uses a highly automated manufacturing process, and power costs are a significant manufacturing cost. Cost analysts have decided that power costs are mixed; thus, they must be broken into their fixed and variable elements so that the cost behavior of the power usage activity can be properly described. Machine hours have been selected as the activity driver for power costs. The following data for the past eight quarters have been collected: Required: 1. Prepare a scattergraph by plotting power costs against machine hours. Does the scatter-graph show a linear relationship between machine hours and power cost? 2. Using the high and low points, compute a power cost formula. 3. Use the method of least squares to compute a power cost formula. Evaluate the coefficient of determination. 4. Rerun the regression and drop the point (20,000; 26,000) as an outlier. Compare the results from this regression to those for the regression in Requirement 3. Which is better?
Rex Industries has identified three different activities as cost drivers: machine setups, machine hours, and inspections. The overhead and estimated usage are: Compute the overhead rate for each activity.

Metroid Electric manufactures power distribution equipment for commercial customers, such as hospitals and manufacturers. Activity-based costing was used to determine customer profitability. Customer service activities were assigned to individual customers, using the following assumed customer service activities, activity base, and activity rate: Customer Service Activity Activity Base Activity Rate Bid preparation Number of bid requests $420 per request Shipment Number of shipments $90 per shipment Support standard items Number of standard items ordered $30 per std. item Support nonstandard items Number of nonstandard items ordered $180 per nonstd. item Assume that the company had the following gross profit information for three representative customers: Customer 1 Customer 2 Customer 3 Revenues $130,000 $210,000 $180,000 Cost of goods sold (81,900) (113,400) (90,000) Gross profit $48,100 $96,600 $90,000 Gross profit…
Schell Company manufactures automobile floor mats. It currently has two product lines, the Standard and the Deluxe. Suppose that Schell has conducted further research into its overhead and potential cost drivers. As a result, the company has compiled the following detailed information, breaking total overhead into three activity pools: Activity Pools Material handling Quality control Machine maintenance Req 1 Cost Driver Number of moves Number of inspections Number of machine hours Req 2 and 3 Required: 1. Calculate the activity rates for each activity pool assuming Schell uses an ABC system. 2. Calculate the amount of overhead that Schell will assign to the Standard floor mat line. 3. Determine the amount of overhead Schell will assign to the Deluxe product line. Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below.
