Comprehensive problem on unit costs, product costs. Atlanta Office Equipment manufactures and sells metal shelving. It began operations on January 1, 2017. Costs incurred for 2017 are as follows (V stands for variable; F stands for fixed):
Direct materials used | $140,000 V |
Direct manufacturing labor costs | 22,000 V |
Plant energy costs | 5,000 V |
Indirect manufacturing labor costs | 18,000 V |
Indirect manufacturing labor costs | 14,000 F |
Other indirect |
8,000 V |
Other indirect manufacturing costs | 26,000 F |
Marketing, distribution, and customer-service costs | 120,000 V |
Marketing, distribution, and customer-service costs | 43,000 F |
Administrative costs | 54,000 F |
Variable manufacturing costs are variable with respect to units produced. Variable marketing, distribution, and customer-service costs are variable with respect to units sold.
Inventory data are as follows:
Beginning: January 1, 2017 | Ending: December 31, 2017 | |
Direct materials | 0 lb | 2,300 lbs |
Work in process | 0 units | 0 units |
Finished goods | 0 units | ? units |
Production in 2017 was 100,000 units. Two pounds of direct materials are used to make one unit of finished product.
Revenues in 2017 were $473,200. The selling price per unit and the purchase price per pound of direct materials were stable throughout the year. The company’s ending inventory of finished goods is carried at the average unit manufacturing cost for 2017. Finished-goods inventory at December 31, 2017, was $20,970.
- 1. Calculate direct materials inventory, total cost, December 31, 2017.
- 2. Calculate finished-goods inventory, total units, December 31, 2017.
- 3. Calculate selling price in 2017.
- 4. Calculate operating income for 2017.

- SmokeCity, Inc., manufactures barbeque smokers. Based on past experience, SmokeCity has found that its total annual overhead costs can be represented by the following formula: Overhead cost = 543,000 + 1.34X, where X equals number of smokers. Last year, SmokeCity produced 20,000 smokers. Actual overhead costs for the year were as expected. Required: 1. What is the driver for the overhead activity? 2. What is the total overhead cost incurred by SmokeCity last year? 3. What is the total fixed overhead cost incurred by SmokeCity last year? 4. What is the total variable overhead cost incurred by SmokeCity last year? 5. What is the overhead cost per unit produced? 6. What is the fixed overhead cost per unit? 7. What is the variable overhead cost per unit? 8. Recalculate Requirements 5, 6, and 7 for the following levels of production: (a) 19,500 units and (b) 21,600 units.
