Waterway Fire, Inc. manufactures steel cylinders and nozzles for two models of fire extinguishers: (1) a home fire extinguisher and (2) a commercial fire extinguisher. The home model is a high-volume (54,000 units), half-gallon cylinder that holds 2 1/2 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 480 PSI. The commercial model is a low-volume (10,200 units), two-gallon cylinder that holds 10 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 390 PSI. Both products require 1.5 hours of direct labor for completion. Therefore, total annual direct labor hours are 96,300 or [1.5 hours x (54,000 + 10,200)]. Estimated annual manufacturing overhead is $1,573,108. Thus, the predetermined overhead rate is $16.34 or ($1,573,108 +96,300) per direct labor hour. The direct materials cost per unit is $18.50 for the home model and $26.50 for the commercial model. The direct labor cost is $19 per unit for both the home and the commercial models. The company's managers identified six activity cost pools and related…
Mohave Corp. is considering outsourcing production of ht eumbrella tote bag included with some of its products. The company has received a bid from a supplier in Vietnam to produce 9600 units per year for 7.00 each. Mohave has the following information about the cost of producing tote bags:Directs materials 3.00Direct Labor 2.00Variable manufacturing overhead 1.00Fixed manufacturing overhead 2.50Total cost per unit 8.50Mohave has deteremined that all variable costs could be eliminated by outsourcing the tote bads, while 75 percent of the fixed overhead cost is unavoidable. At this time, Mohave has no specifif use in mind for the space currently dedicated to producing the tote bags.1.) Compute the difference in cost between making and buying the umbrella tote bag. 2.) Based strictly on the incremental analysis should mohave buy the tote bags or contiunue to make them? 3-a.) Suppose that the space mohave currently uses to make the bags could be utilized by a new product line that would…
Sarasota Company makes swimsuits and sells these suits directly to retailers. Although Sarasota has a variety of suits, it does not make the Performance suit used by highly skilled swimmers. The market research department believes that a strong market exists for this type of suit. The department indicates that the Performance suit would sell for approximately $100. Given its experience, Sarasota believes the Performance suit would have the following manufacturing costs. Direct materials Direct labor Manufacturing overhead Total costs (a1) $29 Selling price 35 36 $100 Assume that Sarasota uses cost-plus pricing, setting the selling price 25% above its costs. What would be the price charged for the Performance swimsuit?
Brandon Technology makes two models of a specialized sensor for the aerospace industry. The difference in the two models relates to the required accuracy of the sensor. The Standard model is used for most normal operations while the High-Performance model is used for high-altitude and specialized missions. Before shipment, the two models are passed through a machine that, among other things, certifies the accuracy of the sensor. The company only has one testing machine. The price and costs of the two sensor models are shown here: Standard High-Performance Price per sensor $ 52 $ 96 Variable cost per sensor $ 34 $ 41 Testing hours per sensor 0.04 0.11 The testing machine used for both models has a capacity of 8,250 hours annually. Fixed manufacturing costs are $2,400,000 annually. Required: a. Suppose that the maximum annual unit sales that is possible for Brandon Technology is 250,000 units of the Standard model and 80,000 of the High-Performance model. How many…
Albedo Incorporated manufactures high-end replacement telescope lenses for amateur and professional astronomers who are seeking to upgrade the performance of their telescopes. You have just become employed as a staff accountant at Albedo, and Jordan Coleman, the controller, has asked you to help with maintenance cost estimation for the lens manufacturing process. You review the manufacturing process and decide that the best cost driver for maintenance costs is machine hours. The data below are from the previous fiscal year for maintenance costs and machine hours: Month Maintenance Costs Machine Hours $ 3,210 4,650 5,175 3,350 3,100 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 2,950 2,900 2,900 4,120 4,350 3,500 3,775 2,750 3,900 4,050 2,690 2,500 2,580 2,300 2,500 3,160 3,325 2,780 3,000 Required: 1. What is the cost equation for maintenance costs using the high-low method? (Round "slope (unit variable cost)" to 2 decimal places. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)
The Becton Enterprises (BE) produces a gasoline additive, Charger Power. This product increases engine efficiency and improves gasoline mileage by creating a more complete burn in the combustion process. Careful controls are required during the production process to ensure that the proper mix of input chemicals is achieved and that evaporation is controlled. Loss of output and efficiency may result if the controls are not effective. The standard cost of producing a 500-liter batch of Charger Power is $135. The standard materials mix and related standard cost of each chemical used in a 500-liter batch are: Chemical Std input quantity Std cost per liter Total cost Echol 200 $ 0.200 $ 40.00 Protex 100 0.425 42.50 Benz 250 0.150 37.50 CT-40 50 0.300 15.00 600 $ 135.00 The quantities of chemicals purchased and used during the current production period are shown in the schedule below.

The Pittsburgh division of Vermont Machinery, Inc., manufactures drill bits.One of the production processes for a drill bit requires tipping, whereby carbide tips are inserted into the bit to make it stronger and more durable. This tipping process usually requires four or five operators, depending on the weekly workload. The same operators are also assigned to the stamping operation, where the size of the drill bit and the company's logo is imprinted on the bit. Vermont is considering acquiring three automatic tipping machines to replace the manual tipping and stamping operations. If the tipping process is automated, the division's engineers will have to redesign the shapes of the carbide tips to be used in the machine. The new design requires less carbide, resulting in savings on materials. The following financial data have been compiled: Project life: six years. Expected annual savings: reduced labor, $56,000; reduced material, $75,000; other benefits (reduced carpal tunnel syndrome…

California Circuits Company (3C) manufactures a variety of components. Its Valley plant specializes in two electronic components used in circuit boards. These components serve the same function and perform equally well. The difference in the two products is the raw material. The XL-D chip is the older of the two components and is made with a metal that requires a wash prior to assembly. Originally, the plant released the wastewater directly into a local river. Several years ago, the company was ordered to treat the wastewater before its release, and it installed relatively expensive equipment. While the equipment is fully depreciated, annual operating expenses of $260,000 are still incurred for wastewater treatment. Two years ago, company scientists developed an alloy with all of the properties of the raw materials used in XL-D that generates no wastewater. Some prototype components using the new material were produced and tested and found to be indistinguishable from the old…
