Tracy is unsure how much to charge for the cupcakes. When she was making the cupcakes by herself and only rented a small storefront that was only open on weekends, she calculated the cost per cupcake based on the cost of ingredients and she added 50% to that cost to cover all of her other expenses. She is not sure if that was accurate. Tracy has asked you to help her determine the cost per cupcake. She has given you her estimated total for each expense. She does not know how to allocate her overhead costs. She also knows that some of her costs are product costs and some are period costs. She has given you a list of costs and needs you to, first, determine which costs are period costs and which costs are product costs and, secondly, determine which are direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead.

Your friend, Julia, owns a corner store in your neighborhood. She purchases fresh milk from a nearby farm and sells them in her store. Cost of the milk is $5 per case, and each case can be sold for $6 per case. Since the milk does not go through rigorous treatment, it should be sold within a week. Any milk that is not sold during the week can be sold back to the farm for $2 per case. Based on the historical, she identified the following probability distribution of the demand. Weekly Demand (cases) Probability 16 0.05 17 0.15 18 0.35 19 0.25 20 0.2 One of the reasons why people come to her store is the availability of fresh milk, and those customers typically make other purchases along with fresh milk. She believes there will be a loss of such sales if she is not able to have enough fresh milk in the store, and estimates this loss to be $2 per case. Julia needs some help to determine how many cases of fresh milk she needs to order for the coming…
Mel Cheek is a fishing guide on the Chenega River. The fish are usually found 20 to 50 miles upriver. Once the fish are located, Mel slows the boat to trolling speed and fishes for about 6 hours before returning to dock. Mel has noted that overall fuel costs vary based on "miles upriver" and he is considering changing his guide fee to separately charge customers for estimated fuel costs. Below is Mel's log for 15 typical days showing "miles upriver to locate fish" and "total fuel cost".

What alternative formula might you suggest?
