Case Construction Company, a three-year-old business, provides contracting and construction services to a variety of clients. Given
that each construction job is different from any other, company accountant Susan Kalagnanam decided that it was best to use a job-

- San Mateo Optics, Inc., specializes in manufacturing lenses for large telescopes and cameras used in space exploration. As the specifications for the lenses are determined by the customer and vary considerably, the company uses a job-order costing system. Manufacturing overhead is applied to jobs on the basis of direct labor hours, utilizing the absorption- or full-costing method. San Mateos predetermined overhead rates for 20x1 and 20x2 were based on the following estimates. Jim Cimino, San Mateos controller, would like to use variable (direct) costing for internal reporting purposes as he believes statements prepared using variable costing are more appropriate for making product decisions. In order to explain the benefits of variable costing to the other members of San Mateos management team, Cimino plans to convert the companys income statement from absorption costing to variable costing. He has gathered the following information for this purpose, along with a copy of San Mateos 20x1 and 20x2 comparative income statement. San Mateo Optics, Inc. Comparative Income Statement For the Years 20x1 and 20x2 San Mateos actual manufacturing data for the two years are as follows: The companys actual inventory balances were as follows: For both years, all administrative expenses were fixed, while a portion of the selling expenses resulting from an 8 percent commission on net sales was variable. San Mateo reports any over-or underapplied overhead as an adjustment to the cost of goods sold. Required: 1. For the year ended December 31, 20x2, prepare the revised income statement for San Mateo Optics, Inc., utilizing the variable-costing method. Be sure to include the contribution margin on the revised income statement. 2. Describe two advantages of using variable costing rather than absorption costing.

Ventana works with the customer to design the appropriate window treatment, places the order, and installs the finished product. Direct materials and direct labor costs are easy to trace to the jobs. Ventanas income statement for last year is as follows: Ventana wants to find a markup on cost of goods sold that will allow them to earn about the same amount of profit on each job as was earned last year. Required: 1. What is the markup on cost of goods sold (COGS) that will maintain the same profit as last year? (Round the percentage to two significant digits.) 2. A customer orders draperies and shades for a remodeling job. The job will have the following costs: What is the price that Ventana will quote given the markup percentage calculated in Requirement 1? (Round the price to the nearest dollar.) 3. What if Ventana wants to calculate a markup on direct materials cost, since it is the largest cost of doing business? What is the markup on direct materials cost that will maintain the same profit as last year? (Round the percentage to two significant digits.) What is the bid price Ventana will use for the job given in Requirement 2 if the markup percentage is calculated on the basis of direct materials cost? (Round to the nearest dollar.)arrow_forwardNutts management is very concerned about the cost of overhead on its jobs. When jobs are complete, overhead costs should be between 15% and 20% of total costs. For example, the labor cost on Job 8958 is 25% of total costs, higher than the norm. Open Job 8961 and click the Chart sheet tab. A pie chart appears showing the cost components on that job. Record the labor cost percentage in the space provided. Repeat this for each of the jobs worked on in August. Did Nutt maintain good cost control on all its jobs? Explain. Worksheet. During September, Job 8963 required two additional material requisitions to complete the job. Open JOB8963 and modify the job cost sheet to include an area for four direct material requisition entries instead of three. Then enter the following two materials requisitions onto the worksheet: Preview the printout to make sure it will print neatly on one page, and then print the worksheet. Save the completed worksheet as JOBT. Chart. Open JOB8964 and click the Chart sheet tab. Prepare a bar chart for JOB8964 showing the amount of material, labor, and overhead required to complete the job. Use the Chart Data Table found in rows 4246 as a basis for preparing the chart.

- RIRA Company makes attachments such as backhoes and grader and bulldozer blades for construction equipment. The company uses a job order cost system.

To facilitate a comparison, the job cost sheets for Job 206 (for 50 backhoe buckets completed in October) and Job 228 (for 75 backhoe buckets completed in December) were pulled and presented as follows: Management is concerned about the increase in unit costs over the months from October to December. To understand what has occurred, management interviewed the purchasing manager and quality manager. Purchasing Manager: Prices have been holding steady for our raw materials during the first half of the year. I found a new supplier for our bulk steel that was willing to offer a better price than we received in the past. I saw these lower steel prices and jumped on them, knowing that a reduction in steel prices would have a very favorable impact on our costs. Quality Manager: Something happened around mid-year. All of a sudden, we were experiencing problems with respect to the quality of our steel. As a result, weve been having all sorts of problems on the shop floor in our foundry and welding operation. a.
