John's Weed-B-Gone yard service sprays lawns to rid them of weeds. John mixes the two chemicals, Weed-X and Pest-O, in proportions depending on the climate and the particular weed problems of the season. A standard mix calls for a gallon of the mixtur to combine equal parts of Weed-X and Pest-o. Weed-X has a standard cost of $10.00 per gallon and Pesto-O has a standard cost of $24.80 per gallon. Each gallon can treat 100 square yards of lawn. John expects to treat 534,000 square yards of lawn. For the past season, John treated 649,000 square yards. He used 4,200 gallons of Weed-X and 4,000 gallons of Pest-O. He paid a total of $35,000 for the Weed-X and $97,200 for the Pest-O. Required: a. Compute the materials price and efficiency variances for the season. b. Compute the materials mlx and yield variances for the season.

Alter's Home Center (AHC) sells renovation and remodeling products to both contractors and individual home owners. One of the services AHC offers is delivery of the purchased products to the customer's work site. Because not all customers take advantage of the delivery service option, ACH adds 10 percent to the cost of the products purchased to cover the delivery cost. A business intern spent the summer at ACH. The intern's assignment was to analyze the delivery service and recommend a better way to charge customers for using it.

Activity-Based Supplier CostingLevy Inc. manufactures tractors for agricultural usage. Levy purchases the engines neededfor its tractors from two sources: Johnson Engines and Watson Company. The Johnsonengine has a price of $1,000. The Watson engine is $900 per unit. Levy produces andsells 22,000 tractors. Of the 22,000 engines needed for the tractors, 4,000 are purchasedfrom Johnson Engines, and 18,000 are purchased from Watson Company. The production manager, Jamie Murray, prefers the Johnson engine. However, Jan Booth, purchasingmanager, maintains that the price difference is too great to buy more than the 4,000units currently purchased. Booth also wants to maintain a significant connection withthe Johnson source just in case the less expensive source cannot supply the needed quantities. Jamie, however, is convinced that the quality of the Johnson engine is worth theprice difference.Frank Wallace, the controller, has decided to use activity costing to resolve the issue. Thefollowing…

Iraq Inc. makes recyclable pots for plants and uses JIT to manage inventories and production. The following are standards for a typical 1-gallon pot: Annual Material Standards 32 ounces of Component X* $0.02 2 ounces of Component Y * $0.05 $0.64 0.10 $0.74 Current Material Standards 27 ounces of Component X* $0.02 . 4 ounces of Component Y* $0.05 $0.54 0.20 $0.74 In-house experiments indicated that changing the material standard would make the pots stronger, so the company issued an engineering change order for the product in February; this ECO established the current material standards. March production was 8,000 pots. Usage of raw material (all purchased at standard price) in March was 220,000 ounces of Component X and 31,000 ounces of Component Y. Required: a. Calculate the material quantity variance. b. Calculate the ECO variance. c. Summarize the company's effectiveness in managing March production costs. d.

Combat Fire, Inc. manufactures steel cylinders and nozzles for two models of fire extinguishers: (1) a home fire extinguisher and (2) a commercial fire extinguisher. The home model is a high-volume (54,000 units), half-gallon cylinder that holds 2 1/2 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 480 PSI. The commercial model is a low-volume (10,200 units), two-gallon cylinder that holds 10 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 390 PSI. Both products require 1.5 hours of direct labor for completion. Therefore, total annual direct labor hours are 96,300 or [1.5 hours × (54,000 + 10,200)]. Estimated annual manufacturing overhead is $ 1,585,316. Thus, the predetermined overhead rate is $ 16.46 or ($ 1,585,316 ÷ 96,300) per direct labor hour. The direct materials cost per unit is $18.50 for the home model and $26.50 for the commercial model. The direct labor cost is $19 per unit for both the home and the commercial models.The company’s managers identified six activity cost pools and related…

Let's start with the joint cleaning and separation process, which allows for the cotton seed and the lint to be separately identifiable. The following quantities of cotton seed and lint were produced for a total cost (including the raw cotton and processing costs) of $232,000. 435,000 pounds of cotton seed 315,000 pounds of lint (fiber) Both of these products can be sold at this point, or they can be processed further. In their present state, they're worth: $0.13 per pound for cotton seed $0.75 per pound for lint This particular company presses the cotton seed to make oil and uses the lint to make thread. The additional costs and processes generate higher sales values for the final products, as follows. Seed/Oil Lint/Thread Additional cost $21,000 Final sales value $84,000 $79,200 $335,000 (b) Allocate the joint process costs using the physical quantities method. (Round proportion to 2 decimal places, e.g. 0.25 and final answers to O decimal places, e.g. 5,125.) Share of joint cost $…
