Rico Company produces custom-made machine parts. Rico recently has implemented an activity-based management (ABM) system with the objective of reducing costs. Rico has begun analyzing each activity to determine ways to increase its efficiency. Setting up equipment was among the first group of activities to be carefully studied. The study revealed that setup hours was a good driver for the activity. During the last year, the company incurred fixed setup costs of $860,200 (salaries of 17 employees). The fixed costs provide a capacity of 39,100 hours (2,300 per employee at practical capacity). The setup activity was viewed as necessary, and the value- added standard was set at 2,300 hours. Actual setup hours used in the most recent period were 37,110. Required: 1. Calculate the volume and unused capacity variances for the setup activity. Enter all amounts as positive values. Volume Variance 22 Unused Capacity Variance Show Me How 2. Prepare a report that presents value-added, non varue c, and actual costs for setup.

Learning Curves Hat Tricks Company (HTC) is a Buffalo, New York, manufacturer of hats andgloves. Recently, the company purchased a new machine to aid in producing the hat product lines.Production efficiency on the new machine increases with the workforce experience. It has beenshown that as cumulative output on the new machine increases, average labor time per unit decreasesup to the production of at least 3,200 units. As HTC’s cumulative output doubles from a base of 100units produced, the cumulative average labor time per unit declines by a learning rate of 80%.HTC has developed a new style of men’s hat to be produced on the new machine. One hundredof these hats can be produced in a total of 40 labor hours. All other direct costs to produce eachhat are $12 per hat, excluding direct labor cost. Direct labor cost per hour is $25. Fixed costs are$8,000 per month, and HTC has the capacity to produce 3,200 hats per month.Required HTC plans to set the selling price for the new men’s hat at…

Horton Manufacturing Incorporated produces blinds and other window treatments for residential homes and offices. The owner is concerned about the maintenance costs for the production machinery because maintenance costs for the previous fiscal year were higher than he expected. The owner has asked you to assist in estimating future maintenance costs to better predict the firm's profitability. Together, you have determined that the best cost driver for maintenance costs is machine hours. The data from the previous fiscal year for maintenance costs and machine hours follow: Month Maintenance Costs Machine Hours $ 2,695 2,740 2,790 2,890 2,925 3,025 2,935 1 2 3 4 56789012 10 11 2,975 2,850 2,640 2,660 2,960 Maintenance cost 1,620 1,730 1,745 1,795 1,790 1,890 1,810 1,845 1,835 1,480 1,690 1,495 Required: 1.

At the start of the year, Vencor Company estimated manufacturing overhead to be $2,000,000. Eighty percent of the overhead is fixed and relates to depreciation of equipment. The remaining 20 percent is variable. The company estimated machine hours to be 100,000 and thus used a predetermined overhead rate of $20 per machine hour. During the year, the company devised a new way to sequence movements of material among the machines, which resulted in a savings of 30,000 machine hours. Estimate the amount of manufacturing overhead that the company would save related to the reduction in machine hours. Why is the savings less than $20 per machine hour?

Barbara, the manager of Metlock, is analyzing the company's MOH costs from last year. Metlock had always followed an actual costing system when determining the costs of its customizable telescopes. Barbara wondered if it would be better to switch to a normal costing system, as she had heard a number of people talking about that at an industry conference she attended the previous month. Since Metlock has a highly machine-intensive operation, machine hours are used as its MOH cost driver. Here are the costs and other MOH information Barbara is analyzing: Budgeted MOH cost Actual MOH cost Budgeted machine hours Actual machine hours $426,240 Actual MOH rate $ 419,040 Determine the actual MOH rate and the budgeted MOH rate Metlock would have used last year under actual costing and normal costing, respectively. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 52.75.) Budgeted MOH rate $ 96,000 108,000 /machine hour /machine hour
