Gent Designs requires three units of part A for every unit of Al that it produces. Currently, part A is made by Gent, with these per-unit costs in a month when 4.000 units were produced: Variable manufacturing overhead is applied at $1.00 per unit. The other $0.30 of overhead consists of allocated fixed costs. Gent will need 6,000 units of part A for the next years production. Cory Corporation has offered to supply 6,000 units of part A at a price of $7.00 per unit. It Gent accepts the offer, all of the variable costs and $1,200 of the fixed costs will be avoided. Should Gent Designs accept the offer from Cory Corporation?
Natur-Gro, Inc., manufactures composters. Based on past experience, Natur-Gro has found that its total annual overhead costs can be represented by the following formula: Overhead cost = 264,000 + 1.42X, where X equals number of composters. Last year, Natur-Gro produced 30,000 composters. Actual overhead costs for the year were as expected. Total overhead for per unit was a. 1.42 b. 8.80 c. 11.63 d. 10.22
On April 30, the end of the first month of operations, Joplin Company prepared the following income statement, based on the absorption costing concept: If the fixed manufacturing costs were 450,000 and the fixed selling and administrative expenses were 165,000, prepare an income statement according to the variable costing concept.
During the week of August 21, Parley Manufacturing produced and shipped 4,000 units of its machine tools: 1,500 units of Tool SK1 and 2,500 units of Tool SK3. The cycle time for SK1 is 0.73 hour, and the cycle time for SK3 is 0.56 hour. The following costs were incurred: Required: 1. Assume that the value-stream costs and total units shipped apply only to one model (a single-product value stream). Calculate the unit cost, and comment on its accuracy. 2. Assume that Tool SK1 is responsible for 60% of the materials cost. Calculate the unit cost for Tool SK 1 and Tool SK3, and comment on its accuracy. Explain the rationale for using units shipped instead of units produced in the calculation. 3. Calculate the unit cost for the two models, using DBC. Explain when and why this cost is more accurate than the unit cost calculated in Requirement 2.
During the week of May 10, Hyrum Manufacturing produced and shipped 16,000 units of its aluminum wheels: 4,000 units of Model A and 12,000 units of Model B. The cycle time for Model A is 1.09 hours and for Model B is 0.47 hour. The following costs and production hours were incurred: Required: 1. Assume that the value-stream costs and total units shipped apply only to one model (a single-product value stream). Calculate the unit cost, and comment on its accuracy. 2. Assume that Model A is responsible for 40% of the materials cost. Calculate the unit cost for Models A and B, and comment on its accuracy. Explain the rationale for using units shipped instead of units produced in the calculation. 3. Calculate the unit cost for the two models, using DBC. Explain when and why this cost is more accurate than the unit cost calculated in Requirement 2.
Ellerson Company provided the following information for the last calendar year: During the year, direct materials purchases amounted to 278,000, direct labor cost was 189,000, and overhead cost was 523,000. During the year, 100,000 units were completed. Required: 1. Calculate the total cost of direct materials used in production. 2. Calculate the cost of goods manufactured. Calculate the unit manufacturing cost. 3. Of the unit manufacturing cost calculated in Requirement 2, 2.70 is direct materials and 5.30 is overhead. What is the prime cost per unit? Conversion cost per unit?
