Box Springs. Inc., makes two sizes of box springs: queen and king. The direct material for the queen is $35 per unit and $55 is used in direct labor, while the direct material for the king is $55 per unit, and the labor cost is $70 per unit. Box Springs estimates it will make 4,300 queens and 3,000 kings in the next year. It estimates the overhead for each cost pool and cost driver activities as follows: How much does each unit cost to manufacture?
Crystal Pools estimates overhead will utilize 250,000 machine hours and cost $750,000. It takes 2 machine hours per unit, direct material cost of $14 per unit, and direct labor of $20 per unit. What is the cost of each unit produced?
Boarders estimates overhead will utilize 160,000 machine hours and cost $80,000. It takes 4 machine hours per unit, direct material cost of $5 per unit, and direct labor of $5 per unit. What is the cost of each unit produced?
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?
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?
Colonels uses a traditional cost system and estimates next years overhead will be $480,000, with the estimated cost driver of 240,000 direct labor hours. It manufactures three products and estimates these costs: If the labor rate is $25 per hour, what is the per-unit cost of each product?
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.
To make a batch of 1,000 units of a certain item, it is estimated that 120 direct labor hours are required at a cost of $10/hour. Direct material costs are estimated at $1,500 per batch. The overhead costs are calculated based on an overhead rate of $7.50 per direct labor hour. The item can be readily purchased from a local vendor for $4 per unit. a. Should the item be made or purchased? b. Over what range of overhead rate is your answer in part a valid?
Davis Company currently buys a component part for $8.00 per unit. Davis estimates that making the part would require $6.50 per unit of direct mate: labor. Davis normally applies overhead using a predetermined overhead rate of 125% of direct labor cost. Davis estimates Incremental overhead of net Incremental cost or savings of making the component Is: Multiple Cholce $2.00 cost per unit. $6.00 cost per unit. $7.00 savings per unit. $6.00 savings per unit. $7.00 cost per unit.
Products A, B, and C are produced from a single raw material input. The raw material costs $90,000, from which 5,000 units of A, 10,000 units of B, and 15,000 units of C can be produced each period. Product A can be sold at the split-off point for $2 per unit, or it can be processed further at a cost of $12,500 and then sold for $5 per unit. If Product A is processed further, what is the change in the company's overall net operating income? It the change is a decrease, enter your number with a – in front. Otherwise, just enter the number. ENTER YOUR ANSWER WITHOUT DOLLAR SIGNS OR OTHER DISCRIPTIONS.
Fall Industries has set the following standards for one unit: Direct material Quantity: 45 yards Price per yard: $2.70 per yard Direct labor Quantity: 9 hours per unit Rate per hour: $16 per hour Actual costs incurred in the production of 1,200 units were as follows: Direct material: $99,000 ($2.75 per yard) Direct labor: $129,560 ($15.80 per hour) All materials purchased were consumed during the period. Required: 1. Calculate the direct-material price and quantity variances. Indicate whether each variance is favorable or unfavorable. 2. Calculate the direct-labor rate and efficiency variances. Indicate whether each variance is favorable or unfavorable. 3. Write a memo to your manager with the results of your findings. a. What do each of the variances mean (describe what each variance measures)? b. How is Fall performing based on each of these variances? c. What variances suggest improvement is needed, and how can the company improve that specific variance (give two specific ways per…
