- Classify the following environmental activities as prevention costs, detection costs, internal failure costs, or external failure costs. For external failure costs, classify the costs as societal or private. Also, label those activities that are compatible with sustainable development (SD). 1. A company takes actions to reduce the amount of material in its packages. 2. After the activated carbons useful life, a soft-drink producer returns this material used for purifying water for its beverages to the supplier. The supplier reactivates the carbon for a second use in nonfood applications. As a consequence, many tons of material are prevented from entering landfills. 3. An evaporator system is installed to treat wastewater and collect usable solids for other uses. 4. The inks used to print snack packages (for chips) contain heavy metals. 5. Processes are inspected to ensure compliance with environmental standards. 6. Delivery boxes are used five times and then recycled. This prevents 112 million pounds of cardboard from entering landfills and saves 2 million trees per year. 7. Scrubber equipment is installed to ensure that air emissions are less than the level permitted by law. 8. Local residents are incurring medical costs from illnesses caused by air pollution from automobile exhaust pollution. 9. As part of implementing an environmental perspective for the Balanced Scorecard, environmental performance measures are developed. 10. Because of liquid and solid residues being discharged into a local lake, the lake is no longer fit for swimming, fishing, and other recreational activities. 11. To reduce energy consumption, magnetic ballasts are replaced with electronic ballasts, and more efficient light bulbs and lighting sensors are installed. As a result, 2.3 million kilowatt-hours of electricity are saved per year. 12. Due to a legal settlement, a chemicals company must spend 20,000,000 to clean up contaminated soil. 13. A soft-drink company uses the following practice: In all bottling plants, packages damaged during filling are collected and recycled (glass, plastic, and aluminum). 14. Products are inspected to ensure that the gaseous emissions produced during operation follow legal and company guidelines. 15. Operating pollution control equipment incurs costs. 16. An internal audit is conducted to verify that environmental policies are being followed.arrow_forwardHow much of the total material handling cost should be allocated to the specialty windows?arrow_forwardRelevant Cost Analysis—Conversion to JIT; Spreadsheet Application As part of its commitment to quality, the J.

The appropriate cost reduction measure: activity elimination, activity reduction, activity sharing, or activity selection provide the following information: 1. It takes 1 hour and six pounds of material to produce a product using a traditional manufacturing process. A process reengineering study provided a new manufacturing process design (using existing technology) that would take 30 minutes and four pounds of material. The cost per labor hour is $12, and the cost per pound of material is $10 2. With its original design, a product requires 10 hours of setup time. Redesigning the product could replace the setup time to an absolute minimum of 30 minutes. The cost per hour of setup time is $250.arrow_forward
- In detail discuss what are the advantages and disadvantages of using FIFO for process costing. In periods when costs are increasing how will FIFO affect reported net income? What about in periods of declining costs? Explain.arrow_forwardCan you provide step by step solution for every requirement?arrow_forwardWhat is a good response to? Activity-based costing (ABC) has transformed how organizations measure and manage costs by breaking overhead costs into cost pools based on activity (Kenton, 2024). ABC allocates overhead costs based on a particular activity instead of spreading it out evenly. This gives management clear information to determine which activities benefit the company and which may need to be altered or discontinued. An example of a company using ABC could be electrical costs. If the electrical costs fluctuate based on labor hours, management could use the labor hours as a cost driver. They could determine the cost driver rate by dividing the electric costs for the year by the annual labor hours. Once they determine the cost rate, they can multiply that by the electrical hours used for an activity to calculate the cost. In the example given, it would be pretty easy to implement; however, there are several overhead costs to calculate, which would require a lot of record-keeping,…arrow_forward

It can also be usefulto extend the cost life cycle to the service department. In Chapter 7, we were interested in theallocation of service department costs to product lines. Here we are interested in managing the costsof a service department over its life cycle. The information technology department (IT) is a goodexample. The costs incurred in IT have the following phases:1. Acquire IT assets, including computers, hubs, cables, and other assets.2. Acquire software and deploy IT for the desired application and functionality.3. Maintain management and operations of the IT assets.4. Provide user support.5. Retire the assets on a planned schedule and replace as needed.Required How can life-cycle costing help in the management of the IT department?arrow_forwardsaarrow_forward
