Required information (The following information applies to the questions displayed below.) Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $185 and $120, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $5 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 112,000 units of each product. Its average cost per unit for each product at this level of activity are given below: Alpha Beta Direct materials $ 30 $ 10 Direct labor 22 29 Variable manufacturing overhead 20 13 Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead 24 26 Variable selling expenses 20 16 Common fixed expenses 23 18 Total cost per unit $ 139 $ 112 The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars. 7. Assume that Cane normally produces and sells 48,000 Betas per year. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of discontinuing the Beta product line?

Colonels uses a traditional cost system and estimates next years overhead will be $480,000, with the estimated cost driver of 240,000 direct labor hours. It manufactures three products and estimates these costs: If the labor rate is $25 per hour, what is the per-unit cost of each product?
Carltons Kitchens makes two types of pasta makers: Strands and Shapes. The company expects to manufacture 70,000 units of Strands, which has a per-unit direct material cost of $10 and a per-unit direct labor cost of $60. It also expects to manufacture 30.000 units of Shapes, which has a per-unit material cost of $15 and a per-unit direct labor cost of $40. It is estimated that Strands will use 140,000 machine hours and Shapes will require 60,000 machine hours. Historically, the company has used the traditional allocation method and applied overhead at a rate of $21 per machine hour. It was determined that there were three cost pools, and the overhead for each cost pool is shown: The cost driver for each cost pool and its expected activity is shown: A. What is the per-unit cost for each product under the traditional allocation method? B. What is the per-unit cost for each product under ABC costing?
Bobcat uses a traditional cost system and estimates next years overhead will be $800.000, as driven by the estimated 25,000 direct labor hours. It manufactures three products and estimates the following costs: If the labor rate is $30 per hour, what is the per-unit cost of each product?

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.

If 18,000 units are produced, what is the variable cost per unit? If 21,000 units are produced, what are the total variable costs? If 11,000 units are produced, what are the total variable costs? If 19,000 units are produced, what are the total manufacturing overhead costs incurred? If 23,000 units are produced, what are the total manufacturing overhead costs incurred? If 19,000 units are produced, what are the per unit manufacturing overhead costs incurred? If 25,000 units are produced, what are the per unit manufacturing overhead costs incurred?
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?
