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 If the job is undertaken the skilled labour will be withdrawn from work on making items that earn a contribution of $25 per skilled labour hour.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

Copy Center pays an average wage of $12 per hour to employees for printing and copying jobs, and allocates $18 of overhead for each employee hour worked. Direct materials are assigned to each job according to actual cost. Jobs are marked up 20% above total manufacturing cost to determine the selling price. If Job M-47 used $335 of direct materials and took 20 direct hours of labor to complete, what is the selling price of the job?
An advertising agency is estimating costs for promoting a music festival. The job will require 380 direct labor hours at a cost of $86 per hour. Overhead costs are applied at a rate of $83 per direct labor hour. 1. What is the total estimated cost for this job? 2. If the company applies a markup of 20% of total costs (price quote is 120% of total costs), what price should it quote for this job? 1. Total estimated job cost 2. Price quote

Supler Corporation produces a part used in the manufacture of one of its products. The unit product cost is $21, computed as follows: Direct materials $ 8 Direct labor 7 Variable manufacturing overhead 1 Fixed manufacturing overhead 5 Unit product cost $ 21 An outside supplier has offered to provide the annual requirement of 5,500 of the parts for only $13 each. The company estimates that 60% of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost above could be eliminated if the parts are purchased from the outside supplier. Assume that direct labor is an avoidable cost in this decision. Based on these data, the costs saved by purchasing the units of purchasing the parts from the outside supplier would be: Multiple Choice $1 per unit on average ($8) per unit on average $6 per unit on average ($1) per unit on average
“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 $…
Factor Company estimates that producing a unit of product would require $7.80 per unit of direct materials and $23.80 per unit of direct labor. Factor Company normally applies overhead using a predetermined overhead rate of 150% of direct labor cost. Factor Company estimates incremental overhead of $15.60 per unit of product. An outside supplier offers to provide Factor Company with all the units it needs at a price of $45.20 per unit. Factor Company should choose to:

Keene Company allocates overhead based on direct labor hours. It allocates overhead costs of $8,000 to two different jobs as follows: Job 1 (10 hours) = $4,000, Job 2 (10 hours) = $4.000 The production process for Job 2 was then automated. Now Job 2 requires only two hours of direct labor but four hours of mechanical processing. As a result, total overhead increased to $12,000 How much overhead cost will be assigned to Job 1 after automation? Multiple Choice O O $2,000 $4,000 $6,000 $10,000
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.
