Miller Company sells several products, Sales reports show that the sales volume of its most popular product has increased the past three quarters while overall profits have decreased.
How might production cost reports assist management in making decisions about this product?
OA They can either find a way to lower costs or determine if they need to raise the price
OB. The production report will help them see how much the product is costing to make.
OC. They can determine if there has been an increase in the direct material or the conversion costs
OD. All of the above.
OE None of the above.
Marshall Company is a large manufacturer of office furniture. The company has recently adopted lean accounting and has identified
two value streams-office chairs and office tables. Total sales in the most recent period for the two streams are $245 and $310 million,
respectively.
In the most recent accounting period, Marshall had the following operating costs, which were traced to the two value streams as
follows (in thousands):
Operating costs:
Materials
Labor
Equipment-related costs
Occupancy costs
Sales
Operating costs:
Total operating costs
Value-stream profit before inventory change
In addition to the traceable operating costs, the company had manufacturing costs of $116.750 million, and selling and administrative
costs of $25 million that could not be traced to either value stream. Due to the implementation of lean methods, the firm has been able
to reduce Inventory In both value streams significantly. Marshall has calculated the fixed cost of prior-period Inventory that is…

- Kimball Company has developed the following cost formulas: Materialusage:Ym=80X;r=0.95Laborusage(direct):Yl=20X;r=0.96Overheadactivity:Yo=350,000+100X;r=0.75Sellingactivity:Ys=50,000+10X;r=0.93 where X=Directlaborhours The company has a policy of producing on demand and keeps very little, if any, finished goods inventory (thus, units produced equals units sold). Each unit uses one direct labor hour for production. The president of Kimball Company has recently implemented a policy that any special orders will be accepted if they cover the costs that the orders cause. This policy was implemented because Kimballs industry is in a recession and the company is producing well below capacity (and expects to continue doing so for the coming year). The president is willing to accept orders that minimally cover their variable costs so that the company can keep its employees and avoid layoffs. Also, any orders above variable costs will increase overall profitability of the company. Required: 1. Compute the total unit variable cost. Suppose that Kimball has an opportunity to accept an order for 20,000 units at 220 per unit. Should Kimball accept the order? (The order would not displace any of Kimballs regular orders.) 2. Explain the significance of the coefficient of correlation measures for the cost formulas. Did these measures have a bearing on your answer in Requirement 1? Should they have a bearing? Why or why not? 3. Suppose that a multiple regression equation is developed for overhead costs: Y = 100,000 + 100X1 + 5,000X2 + 300X3, where X1 = direct labor hours, X2 = number of setups, and X3 = engineering hours. The coefficient of determination for the equation is 0.94. Assume that the order of 20,000 units requires 12 setups and 600 engineering hours. Given this new information, should the company accept the special order referred to in Requirement 1? Is there any other information about cost behavior that you would like to have? Explain.arrow_forwardMaximin currently manufactures and sells two types of a product, the Max and the Min. Both of these products use the same raw materials but in different quantities. The Max is a superior version of the Min and uses more materials and labour. However, due to superior quality, the retail price for the Max is double than that of the Min. You have been provided with details of last year's sales and costs below, when the company operated at 80% capacity. It is assumed all units produced are sold, i.e., there is no stock.

- Most businesses sell several products at varying prices. The products often have different unit variable costs. Thus, the total profit and the breakeven point depend on the proportions in which the products are sold. Sales mix is the relative contribution of sales among various products sold by a firm. Assume that the sales of Jordan Incorporated for a typical year are as follows: Product Units Sold Sales Mix A 18,320 80% B 4,580 20 Total 22,900 100% Assume the following unit selling prices and unit variable costs: Product Selling Price Variable Cost Contribution Margin A $ 90 $ 75 $ 15 B 150 110 40 Fixed costs are $420,000 per year. Assume that the sales mix, expressed in terms of relative physical units sold, is constant as sales volume changes. Determine the breakeven point in total units and, for this breakeven point, calculate the number of units of A and B that must be sold. Use the weighted-average contribution margin approach.arrow_forwardMost businesses sell several products at varying prices. The products often have different unit variable costs.

- AZChen Company manufactures one particular type of washing machine and has two divisions, the Compressor Division, and the Fabrication Division. The Compressor Division manufactures compressors for the Fabrication Division, which completes the washing machine and sells it to retailers. The Compressor Division "sells" compressors to the Fabrication Division. The market price for the Fabrication Division to purchase a compressor is $40.00. (Ignore changes in inventory.) The fixed costs for the Compressor and Fabrication Divisions are assumed to be the same over the range of 1,000 - 5,000 units. Compressor's costs per compressor are: Direct materials $15 Direct labour $7.30 Variable overhead $2.69 Division fixed costs $7.48 Fabrication's costs per completed washing machine are: Direct materials $140.00 (excluding the transfer price of the compressor) Direct labour $57.50 Variable overhead $23.00 Division fixed costs $8.00 Assume the transfer price for a compressor is 149% of total costs…arrow_forwardThe Carlsbad Corporation produces and markets two types of electronic calculators: Model 4A and Model 5A.
