Lacy, Inc., produces a subassembly used in the production of hydraulic cylinders. The subassemblies are produced in three departments: Plate Cutting, Rod Cutting, and Welding. Materials are added at the beginning of the process. Overhead is applied using the following drivers and activity rates: Other data for the Plate Cutting Department are as follows: Required: 1. Prepare a physical flow schedule. 2. Calculate equivalent units of production for: a. Direct materials b. Conversion costs 3. Calculate unit costs for: a. Direct materials b. Conversion costs c. Total manufacturing 4. Provide the following information: a. The total cost of units transferred out b. The journal entry for transferring costs from Plate Cutting to Welding c. The cost assigned to units in ending inventory
Larsen, Inc., produces two types of electronic parts and has provided the following data: There are four activities: machining, setting up, testing, and purchasing. Required: 1. Calculate the activity consumption ratios for each product. 2. Calculate the consumption ratios for the plantwide rate (direct labor hours). When compared with the activity ratios, what can you say about the relative accuracy of a plantwide rate? Which product is undercosted? 3. What if the machine hours were used for the plantwide rate? Would this remove the cost distortion of a plantwide rate?
Rex Industries has identified three different activities as cost drivers: machine setups, machine hours, and inspections. The overhead and estimated usage are: Compute the overhead rate for each activity.
Nonunit-level drivers are prominent in activity-based coting systems. Which of the following is a nonunit-level driver? a. Machine hours b. Direct materials c. Assembly hours d. Setup hours
Rocks Industries has identified three different activities as cost drivers: machine setups, machine hours, and inspections. The overhead and estimated usage are: Compute the overhead rate for each activity.
The management of Wheeler Company has decided to develop cost formulas for its major overhead activities. Wheeler uses a highly automated manufacturing process, and power costs are a significant manufacturing cost. Cost analysts have decided that power costs are mixed; thus, they must be broken into their fixed and variable elements so that the cost behavior of the power usage activity can be properly described. Machine hours have been selected as the activity driver for power costs. The following data for the past eight quarters have been collected: Required: 1. Prepare a scattergraph by plotting power costs against machine hours. Does the scatter-graph show a linear relationship between machine hours and power cost? 2. Using the high and low points, compute a power cost formula. 3. Use the method of least squares to compute a power cost formula. Evaluate the coefficient of determination. 4. Rerun the regression and drop the point (20,000; 26,000) as an outlier. Compare the results from this regression to those for the regression in Requirement 3. Which is better?

For each cost system, classify the relevant items into one of the following categories: a. Interrelated parts b. Processes c. Objectives d. Inputs e. Outputs f. User actions 2. Explain the choices that differ between the two systems. Which system will provide the best support for the user actions? Explain. 3. Draw an operational model that illustrates each cost accounting systemwith the items that belong to the system used as examples for each component of the model. 4. Based on the operational models, comment on the relative costs and benefits of the two systems. Which system should be chosen?

Warren Furniture produces three models of desk chairs: Basic, Ergo, and Exec. The cost system at the Warren production facility allocates overhead cost on the basis of direct labor hours. The company is considering updating its cost system to an activity-based costing system and is interested in understanding the effects. A study team composed of the production facility's finance and operations groups has identified three overhead cost pools along with appropriate cost drivers for each pool. Cost Pools Assembly Setup Quality assurance Costs $ 2,925,000 1,023,000 642,000 Activity Drivers Direct labor-hours Number of setups Number of tests The plans for production for the next year and the budgeted direct costs and activity by product line are as follows: Direct costs (material and labor) Basic $ 1,006,800 Direct labor-hours 25,200 Products Ergo $ 1,143,000 12,000 Exec $ 868,800 Machine-hours 29,200 17,200 Number of setups Number of tests Number of units produced 48 140 7,200 72 100…
