Healthfirst (HF) Ltd has recently started to produce a face shield and product's standard cost data are as follows: Cost per unit Direct materials Perspex (0.5 meters @ $15 per meter) $ 7.50 Direct materials Hardened Plastic (0.25 meters at $20.00 per meter) 5.00 Direct manufacturing labour (0.5 hr @ $30.00 per hr) Manufacturing overhead Total Cost 15.00 Required Should HF accept the offer. Show all computations. 30.00 $57.50 Additional information 45% of the Manufacturing overhead changes with the number of units produced. Additionally, if production of face shields is discontinued, 20% of the remaining fixed cost will be avoided. The budgeted production used to compute overheads is 10,000 units per quarter. HF has been approached by another company who is willing to supply the face shields at $50. Per unit. The space used to manufacture face shields can be used to Generate $ 120,000 in contribution margin per quarter.
Patz Company produces two types of machine parts: Part A and Part B, with unit contribution margins of 300 and 600, respectively. Assume initially that Patz can sell all that is produced of either component. Part A requires two hours of assembly, and B requires five hours of assembly. The firm has 300 assembly hours per week. Required: 1. Express the objective of maximizing the total contribution margin subject to the assembly-hour constraint. 2. Identify the optimal amount that should be produced of each machine part and the total contribution margin associated with this mix. 3. What if market conditions are such that Patz can sell at most 75 units of Part A and 60 units of Part B? Express the objective function with its associated constraints for this case and identify the optimal mix and its associated total contribution margin.
Use the information provided to create a standard cost card for production of one glove box switch. To make one switch it takes 16 feet of plastic-coated copper wire and 0.5 pounds of plastic material. The plastic material can usually be purchased for $20.00 per pound, and the wire costs $2.50 per foot. The labor necessary to assemble a switch consists of two types. The first type of labor is assembly, which takes 3.5 hours. These workers are paid $27.00 per hour. The second type of labor is finishing, which takes 2 hours. These workers are paid $29.00 per hour. Overhead is applied using labor hours. The variable overhead rate is $14.90 per labor hour. The fixed overhead rate is $15.60 per hour.
Use the following information to create a standard cost card for production of one photography drone from Drone Experts. To make one drone it takes 2 pounds of plastic material. The material can usually be purchased for $25.00 per pound. The labor necessary to build a drone consists of two types. The first type of labor is assembly, which takes 10.5 hours. These workers are paid $21.00 per hour. The second type of labor is finishing, which takes 7 hours. These workers are paid $25.00 per hour. Overhead is applied using labor hours. The variable overhead rate is $14.00 per labor hour. The fixed overhead rate is $16.00 per hour.
Box Springs, Inc., makes two sizes of box springs: twin and double. The direct material for the twin is $25 per unit and $40 s used in direct labor, while the direct material for the double is $40 per unit, and the labor cost is $50 per unit. Box Springs estimates it will make 5,000 twins and 9,000 doubles in the next year. It estimates the overhead for each cost pool and cost driver activities as follows: How much does each unit cost to manufacture?
Box Springs. Inc., makes two sizes of box springs: queen and king. The direct material for the queen is $35 per unit and $55 is used in direct labor, while the direct material for the king is $55 per unit, and the labor cost is $70 per unit. Box Springs estimates it will make 4,300 queens and 3,000 kings in the next year. It estimates the overhead for each cost pool and cost driver activities as follows: How much does each unit cost to manufacture?
Tucariz Company processes Duo into two joint products, Big and Mini. Duo is purchased in 1,000-gallon drums for 2.000. Processing costs are 3,000 to process the 1,000 gallons of Duointo 800 gallons of Big and 200 gallons of Mini. The selling price is 9 per gallon for Big and4 per gallon for Mini. If the physical units method is used to allocate joint costs to the finalproducts, the total cost allocated to produce Mini is: a. 500. b. 4,000. c. 1,000. d. 4,500.
Bountiful Manufacturing produces two types of bike frames (Frame X and Frame Y). Frame X passes through four processes: cutting, welding, polishing, and painting. Frame Y uses three of the same processes: cutting, welding, and painting. Each of the four processes employs 10 workers who work eight hours each day. Frame X sells for 40 per unit, and Frame Y sells for 55 per unit. Materials is the only unit-level variable expense. The materials cost for Frame X is 20 per unit, and the materials cost for Frame Y is 25 per unit. Bountifuls accounting system has provided the following additional information about its operations and products: Bountifuls management has determined that any production interruptions can be corrected within two days. Required: 1. Assuming that Bountiful can meet daily market demand, compute the potential daily profit. Now, compute the minutes needed for each process to meet the daily market demand. Can Bountiful meet daily market demand? If not, where is the bottleneck? Can you derive an optimal mix without using a graphical solution? If so, explain how. 2. Identify the objective function and the constraints. Then, graph the constraints facing Bountiful. Determine the optimal mix and the maximum daily contribution margin (throughput). 3. Explain how a drum-buffer-rope system would work for Bountiful. 4. Suppose that the Engineering Department has proposed a process design change that will increase the polishing time for Frame X from 15 to 23 minutes per unit and decrease the welding time from 15 minutes to 10 minutes per unit (for Frame X). The cost of process redesign would be 10,000. Evaluate this proposed change. What step in the TOC process does this proposal represent?
