Skilled labour at a manufacturing plant is in short supply, and all available skilled labour time is fully utilised. A customer has asked for a special job that will cost $400 in direct materials and will require 15 hours of skilled labour time. Skilled labour costs $8 per hour and variable production overhead is $2 per hour. Fixed production overheads are absorbed at a rate of $20 per skilled labour hour. If the job is undertaken the skilled labour will be withdrawn from work on making items that earn a contribution of $25 per skilled labour hour. What is the minimum price that should be charged if this special job is undertaken? O $775 O $895 O $925 O $1,225

Kofi Abebrese runs a small industrial company that specialized in the production of high standard windows for housing estates. A worker is paid GH¢0.9 per hour and can produce two window s with an hour. Each window uses a frame costing GH¢1 and incur a variable overheads of GH¢0.7. Each window sells for GH¢3. Currently, due to the economic condition, work is rather slack and three employees are occupied in carrying out extensive repairs to Kofi Abebrese's own house. Kofi owns a warehouse next to the factory, which had been used as a factory store, in the past. It is now let out on a renewable annual lease of GH¢600. A new building company, Allied Consult, which specializes in the production of prefabricated houses has asked Kofi if he would be interested in accepting a contract for GH¢30,000 which will be for a year initially, to produce molded internal building sections. Kofi estimates that, the contract will take 13,200 hours of works, or the work of five men for a year, and that…

“Blast it!” said David Wilson, president of Teledex Company. “We’ve just lost the bid on the Koopers job by $3,000. It seems we’re either too high to get the job or too low to make any money on half the jobs we bid.” Teledex Company manufactures products to customers’ specifications and uses a job-order costing system. The company uses a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor cost to apply its manufacturing overhead (assumed to be all fixed) to jobs. The following estimates were made at the beginning of the year: Department Total Plant Fabricating Machining Assembly Manufacturing overhead $ 355,250 $ 406,000 $ 91,350 $ 852,600 Direct labor $ 203,000 $ 101,500 $ 304,500 $ 609,000 Jobs require varying amounts of work in the three departments. The Koopers job, for example, would have required manufacturing costs in the three departments as follows: Department Total Plant Fabricating Machining Assembly Direct materials $ 3,300 $ 200 $…

Kelso Manufacturing allocates manufacturing overhead using a single predetermined rate based on a planned use of 15,000 direct labour hours per year. Company leadership recently learned that its costing system may be too simple for its operations, and that job cost fairly inaccurate. A consultant was hired to study overhead costs, and the following information reflects the cost pools and activity rates that were determined: Cost Pool Total Cost Activity Rate Purchasing $90,000 $30/purchase order Assembly $150,000 $?/direct labour hour Inspection $60,000 $15/inspection Production $150,000 $3/unit produced $450,000 Total Based on the information presented in the introduction and table above, Kelso's single predetermined manufacturing overhead cost rate is __________ and its rate for the Assembly cost pool is __________ Question 8 a. $30/direct labour hour; $30/direct labour hour b. $30/direct labour hour; $10/direct labour hour C. $30/direct labour hour; $15/direct labour hour d.…

Nichols Inc. manufactures remote controls. Currently the company uses a plant- wide rate for allocating manufacturing overhead. The plant manager believes it is time to refine the method of cost allocation and has the accounting department identify the primary production activities and their cost drivers: Activities Material handling Assembly Inspection Cost driver Number of parts Labour hours Time at inspection station The current traditional cost method allocates overhead based on direct manufacturing abour hours using a rate of £200 per labour hour. a. b. Allocation Rate £2 per part £20 per hour £3 per minute What are the indirect manufacturing costs per remote control assuming an activity- based-costing method is used and a batch of 50 remote controls are produced? The batch requires 100 parts, 6 direct manufacturing labour hours, and 2.5 minutes of inspection time. £4.00 per remote control £6.55 per remote control £24.00 per remote control £327.50 per remote control C. d.
