The following information relates to a product produced by Eddie Company: • Direct materials: $15 Direct labor: $12 Variable overhead: $9 Fixed overhead: $14 Unit cost: $50 Fixed selling costs are $1,200,000 per year. Variable selling costs of $4 per unit sold are added to cover the transportation cost. Although production capacity is 600,000 units per year, Eddie expects to produce only 450,000 units next year. The product normally sells for $62 each. A customer has offered to buy 80,000 units for $45 each. The customer will pay the transportation charge on the units purchased. If Eddie accepts the special order, the effect on income would be an increase of $200,000.

Remarkable Enterprises requires four units of part A for every unit of Al that it produces. Currently, part A is made by Remarkable, with these per-unit costs in a month when 4,000 units were produced: Variable manufacturing overhead is applied at $1.60 per unit. The other $0.50 of overhead consists of allocated fixed costs. Remarkable will need 8,000 units of part A for the next years production. Altoona Corporation has offered to supply 8,000 units of part A at a price of $8.00 per unit. If Remarkable accepts the offer, all of the variable costs and $2,000 of the fixed costs will be avoided. Should Remarkable accept the offer from Altoona Corporation?
The expected costs for the Maintenance Department of Stazler, Inc., for the coming year include: Fixed costs (salaries, tools): 64,900 per year Variable costs (supplies): 1.35 per maintenance hour Estimated usage by: Actual usage by: Required: 1. Calculate a single charging rate for the Maintenance Department. 2. Use this rate to assign the costs of the Maintenance Department to the user departments based on actual usage. Calculate the total amount charged for maintenance for the year. 3. What if the Assembly Department used 4,000 maintenance hours in the year? How much would have been charged out to the three departments?
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?
Lander Parts, Inc., produces various automobile parts. In one plant, Lander has a manufacturing cell with the theoretical capability to produce 450,000 fuel pumps per quarter. The conversion cost per quarter is 9,000,000. There are 150,000 production hours available within the cell per quarter. Required: 1. Compute the theoretical velocity (per hour) and the theoretical cycle time (minutes per unit produced). 2. Compute the ideal amount of conversion cost that will be assigned per subassembly. 3. Suppose the actual time required to produce a fuel pump is 40 minutes. Compute the amount of conversion cost actually assigned to each unit produced. What happens to product cost if the time to produce a unit is decreased to 25 minutes? How can a firm encourage managers to reduce cycle time? Finally, discuss how this approach to assigning conversion cost can improve delivery time. 4. Assuming the actual time to produce one fuel pump is 40 minutes, calculate MCE. How much non-value-added time is being used? How much is it costing per unit? 5. Cycle time, velocity, MCE, conversion cost per unit (theoretical conversion rate actual conversion time), and non-value-added costs are all measures of performance for the cell process. Discuss the incentives provided by these measures.
Aril Industries is a multiproduct company that currently manufactures 30,000 units of Part 730 each month for use in production. The facilities now being used to produce Part 730 have fixed monthly overhead costs of 150,000 and a theoretical capacity to produce 60,000 units per month. If Aril were to buy Part 730 from an outside supplier, the facilities would be idle, and 40% of fixed costs would continue to be incurred. There are no alternative uses for the facilities. The variable production costs of Part 730 are 11 per unit. Fixed overhead is allocated based on planned production levels. If Aril Industries continues to use 30,000 units of Part 730 each month, it would realize a net benefit by purchasing Part 730 from an outside supplier only if the suppliers unit price is less than: a. 12.00. b. 12.50. c. 13.00. d. 14.00.
Suppose that a company is spending 60,000 per year for inspecting, 30,000 for purchasing, and 40,000 for reworking products. A good estimate of nonvalue-added costs would be a. 70,000. b. 130,000. c. 40,000. d. 90,000. e. 100,000.
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?
A firm has 100,000 in direct materials costs, 50,000 in direct labor costs, and 80,000 in overhead. Which of the following is true? a. Prime costs are 150,000; conversion costs are 180,000. b. Prime costs are 130,000; conversion costs are 150,000. c. Prime costs are 150,000; conversion costs are 130,000. d. Prime costs are 180,000; conversion costs are 150,000.
Cashion Company produces chemical mixtures for veterinary pharmaceutical companies. Its factory has four mixing lines that mix various powdered chemicals together according to specified formulas. Each line can produce up to 5,000 barrels per year. Each line has one supervisor who is paid 34,000 per year. Depreciation on equipment averages 16,000 per year. Direct materials and power cost about 4.50 per unit. Required: 1. Prepare a graph for each of these three costs: equipment depreciation, supervisors wages, and direct materials and power. Use the vertical axis for cost and the horizontal axis for units (barrels). Assume that sales range from 0 to 20,000 units. 2. Assume that the normal operating range for the company is 16,000 to 19,000 units per year. How would you classify each of the three types of cost?
AlphaBrona Industries manufactures 50,000 components per year. The manufacturing cost of the components was determined as follows: Direct materials $ 80,000 Direct labor 100,000 Variable overhead 30,000 Fixed overhead 60,000 Total $270,000 An outside supplier has offered to sell the component to AlphaBrona for $10 per unit. Fixed costs will remain the same if the component is purchased from an outside supplier. What will be the effect on income if AlphaBrona Industries purchases the component from the outside supplier? a. $290,000 decrease b. $290,000 increase c. $45,000 decrease d. $45,000 increase
Let's say that ABC company manufactures and sells 20,000 units of its product yearly. A single product includes these costs: Direct materials: $3 per unit Direct labor: $5 per unit Variable manufacturing overhead: $2 per unit Fixed manufacturing overhead: $35,000 per year, which computes to a $1.75 per unit cost ($35,000/20,000 annual units) Can you explain what the per unit cost of the product would be under the Absorption and Variable costing methods?
Your Company has the capacity to produce 80,000 units. It produces and sells 70,000 units of a product each year. At this level of activity, Clark Company incurs the following unit costs:Direct materials $18Direct labor 25Variable overhead 9Fixed overhead 10Variable S&A 7Fixed S&A 12A special order for 9,000 units under consideration would require the one-time rental of a special machine. The rental is for $36,000. If the order is accepted, $5 of the variable S&A can be avoided. What is the least amount the company can charge per unit in this special pricing decision? (Think breakeven.) a) $61 b) $56 c) $58 d) $59 e) $57
