Koontz Company manufactures a number of products. The standards relating to one of these products are shown below, along with actual cost data for May. Direct materials: Standard: 1.90 feet at $4.00 per foot Actual: 1.85 feet at $4.40 per foot Direct labor: Standard: 1.10 hour at $16.00 per hour Actual: 1.15 hour at $15.40 per hour Variable overhead: Standard: 1.10 hour at $9.00 per hour Actual: 1.15 hour at $8.60 per hour Total cost per unit Excess of actual cost over standard cost per unit Standard Cost per Unit $ 7.60 Actual Cost per Unit 17.60 $ 8.14 9.90 17.71 9.89 $ 35.10 $ 35.74 $ 0.64 The production superintendent was pleased when he saw this report and commented: "This $0.64 excess cost is well within the 4 percent limit management has set for acceptable variances. It's obvious there's not much to worry about with this product." Actual production for the month was 17,500 units. Variable overhead cost is assigned to products based on direct labor-hours. There were no beginning…
Ellerson Company provided the following information for the last calendar year: During the year, direct materials purchases amounted to 278,000, direct labor cost was 189,000, and overhead cost was 523,000. During the year, 100,000 units were completed. Required: 1. Calculate the total cost of direct materials used in production. 2. Calculate the cost of goods manufactured. Calculate the unit manufacturing cost. 3. Of the unit manufacturing cost calculated in Requirement 2, 2.70 is direct materials and 5.30 is overhead. What is the prime cost per unit? Conversion cost per unit?

Rocks Industries has two products. They manufactured 12,539 units of product A and 8.254 units of product B. The data are: Â What is the activity rate for each cost pool?
During the week of May 10, Hyrum Manufacturing produced and shipped 16,000 units of its aluminum wheels: 4,000 units of Model A and 12,000 units of Model B. The cycle time for Model A is 1.09 hours and for Model B is 0.47 hour. The following costs and production hours were incurred: Required: 1. Assume that the value-stream costs and total units shipped apply only to one model (a single-product value stream). Calculate the unit cost, and comment on its accuracy. 2. Assume that Model A is responsible for 40% of the materials cost. Calculate the unit cost for Models A and B, and comment on its accuracy. Explain the rationale for using units shipped instead of units produced in the calculation. 3. Calculate the unit cost for the two models, using DBC. Explain when and why this cost is more accurate than the unit cost calculated in Requirement 2.
