The manufacturing overhead budget at Pendley Corporation is based on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct labor budget indicates that 8,900 direct labor-hours will be required in August. The variable overhead rate is $5.50 per direct labor-hour. The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $133,500 per month, which includes depreciation of $30,260. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The company recomputes its predetermined overhead rate every month. The predetermined overhead rate for August should be: A. $5.50 B. $17.10 C. $20.50 D. $15.00

At the beginning of the period, the Fabricating Department budgeted direct labor of 72,000 and equipment depreciation of 18,500 for 2,400 hours of production. The department actually completed 2,350 hours of production. Determine the budget for the department, assuming that it uses flexible budgeting.
Nashler Company has the following budgeted variable costs per unit produced: Budgeted fixed overhead costs per month include supervision of 98,000, depreciation of 76,000, and other overhead of 245,000. Required: 1. Prepare a flexible budget for all costs of production for the following levels of production: 160,000 units, 170,000 units, and 175,000 units. 2. What is the per-unit total product cost for each of the production levels from Requirement 1? (Round each unit cost to the nearest cent.) 3. What if Nashler Companys cost of maintenance rose to 0.22 per unit? How would that affect the unit product costs calculated in Requirement 2?

Taylor Corporation is analyzing the cost behavior of three cost items, A, B, and C, to budget for the upcoming year. Past trends have indicated the following dollars were spent at three different levels of output: In establishing a budget for 14,000 units, Taylor should treat A, B, and C costs as: a. semivariable, fixed, and variable, respectively. b. variable, fixed, and variable, respectively. c. semivariable, semivariable, and semivariable, respectively. d. variable, semivariable, and semivariable, respectively.
The fixed overhead budgeted for Ranier Industries at an expected capacity of 500,000 units is 1,500,000. Variable costing is used internally, and the net income is adjusted to an absorption costing net income at year-end. Data collected over the last three years show the following: Determine the adjustment each year to convert the variable costing income to absorption costing net income. Compute the absorption costing net income for each year.
Douglas Davis, controller for Marston, Inc., prepared the following budget for manufacturing costs at two different levels of activity for 20X1: During 20X1, Marston worked a total of 80,000 direct labor hours, used 250,000 machine hours, made 32,000 moves, and performed 120 batch inspections. The following actual costs were incurred: Marston applies overhead using rates based on direct labor hours, machine hours, number of moves, and number of batches. The second level of activity (the right column in the preceding table) is the practical level of activity (the available activity for resources acquired in advance of usage) and is used to compute predetermined overhead pool rates. Required: 1. Prepare a performance report for Marstons manufacturing costs in the current year. 2. Assume that one of the products produced by Marston is budgeted to use 10,000 direct labor hours, 15,000 machine hours, and 500 moves and will be produced in five batches. A total of 10,000 units will be produced during the year. Calculate the budgeted unit manufacturing cost. 3. One of Marstons managers said the following: Budgeting at the activity level makes a lot of sense. It really helps us manage costs better. But the previous budget really needs to provide more detailed information. For example, I know that the moving materials activity involves the use of forklifts and operators, and this information is lost when only the total cost of the activity for various levels of output is reported. We have four forklifts, each capable of providing 10,000 moves per year. We lease these forklifts for five years, at 10,000 per year. Furthermore, for our two shifts, we need up to eight operators if we run all four forklifts. Each operator is paid a salary of 30,000 per year. Also, I know that fuel costs about 0.25 per move. Assuming that these are the only three items, expand the detail of the flexible budget for moving materials to reveal the cost of these three resource items for 20,000 moves and 40,000 moves, respectively. Based on these comments, explain how this additional information can help Marston better manage its costs. (Especially consider how activity-based budgeting may provide useful information for non-value-added activities.)
Pilsner Inc. purchases raw materials on account for use in production. The direct materials purchases budget shows the following expected purchases on account: Pilsner typically pays 25% on account in the month of billing and 75% the next month. Required: 1. How much cash is required for payments on account in May? 2. How much cash is expected for payments on account in June?
Coral Seas Jewelry Company makes and sells costume jewelry. For the coming year, Coral Seas expects sales of 15.9 million and cost of goods sold of 8.75 million. Advertising is a key part of Coral Seas business strategy, and total marketing expense for the year is budgeted at 2.8 million. Total administrative expenses are expected to be 675,000. Coral Seas has no interest expense. Income taxes are paid at the rate of 40 percent of operating income. Required: 1. Construct a budgeted income statement for Coral Seas Jewelry Company for the coming year. 2. What if Coral Seas had interest payments of 500,000 during the year? What effect would that have on operating income? On income before taxes? On net income?
Shalimar Company manufactures and sells industrial products. For next year, Shalimar has budgeted the follow sales: In Shalimars experience, 10 percent of sales are paid in cash. Of the sales on account, 65 percent are collected in the quarter of sale, 25 percent are collected in the quarter following the sale, and 7 percent are collected in the second quarter after the sale. The remaining 3 percent are never collected. Total sales for the third quarter of the current year are 4,900,000 and for the fourth quarter of the current year are 6,850,000. Required: 1. Calculate cash sales and credit sales expected in the last two quarters of the current year, and in each quarter of next year. 2. Construct a cash receipts budget for Shalimar Company for each quarter of the next year, showing the cash sales and the cash collections from credit sales. 3. What if the recession led Shalimars top management to assume that in the next year 10 percent of credit sales would never be collected? The expected payment percentages in the quarter of sale and the quarter after sale are assumed to be the same. How would that affect cash received in each quarter? Construct a revised cash budget using the new assumption.
