Warren’s Sporting Goods Store sells a variety of sporting goods and clothing. In a back room, Warren’s has set up heat transfer equipment to personalize T-shirts for Little League teams. Typically, each team has the name of the individual player put on the back of the T-shirt. Last week, Shona Kohlmia, coach of the Terrors, brought in a list of names for her team. Her team consisted of 12 players with the following names: Mary Kate, Kayla, Katie, Tara, Heather, Emma, Kimberleigh, Jennifer, Dayna, Elizabeth, Kyle, and Wendy. Shona was quoted a price of $0.60 per letter.
Chip Russell, Warren’s newest employee, took Shona’s order and worked on the job. He selected the appropriate letters, arranged the letters in each name carefully on a shirt, and heat-pressed them on. When Shona returned, she was appalled to see that the names were on the front of the shirts. Jim Warren, owner of the sporting goods store, assured Shona that the letters could easily be removed by applying more heat and lifting them off. This process ruins the old letters, so new letters must then be placed correctly on the shirt backs. He promised to correct the job immediately and have it ready in an hour and a half.
Costs for heat transferring are as follows:
Shona’s job originally took one hour and 12 minutes of direct labor time. The removal process goes more quickly and should take only 30 minutes.
Required:
- 1. What was the original cost of Shona’s job?
- 2. What is the cost of rework on Shona’s job? Assume that Chip failed to ask whether the names should be placed on the back or the front of the shirts. How should the rework cost be treated?
- 3. Now assume that Shona had mistakenly told Chip to put the names on the front of the shirts. In an effort to keep his customer happy, Jim suggested that Shona pay only for the new letters and the firm would pay for the labor cost. How much did Jim charge Shona in addition to the orginal price of the job?

- Please answer all questions in their entirety. Please remember to use exact terminology and make the answers clear. The Shirt Works sells a large variety of tee shirts and sweatshirts. Steve Hooper, the owner, is thinking of expanding his sales by hiring high school students, on a commission basis, to sell sweatshirts bearing the name and mascot of the local high school. These sweatshirts would have to be ordered from the manufacturer six weeks in advance, and they could not be returned because of the unique printing required. The sweatshirts would cost Hooper $19.00 each with a minimum order of 180 sweatshirts. Any additional sweatshirts would have to be ordered in increments of 180. Since Hooper’s plan would not require any additional facilities, the only costs associated with the project would be the costs of the sweatshirts and the costs of the sales commissions. The selling price of the sweatshirts would be $38.00 each. Hooper would pay the students a commission of $5.00 for…arrow_forwardimmy Pace has recently been hired as the manager of Jittery Jon’s Coffee Shop.

- During their senior year at Clarkson College, two business students, Gerry Keating and Louise Lamont, began a part-time business making personal computers. They bought the various components from a local supplier and assembled the machines in the basement of a friend's house. Their only cost was $363 for parts; they sold each computer for $638. They were able to make three machines per week and to sell them to fellow students. The activity was appropriately called Keating & Lamont Computers (KLC). The product quality was good, and as graduation approached, orders were coming in much faster than KLC could fill them. A national CPA firm made Ms. Lamont an attractive offer of employment, and a large electronics company was ready to hire Mr. Keating. Students and faculty at Clarkson College, however, encouraged the two to make KLC a full-time venture. The college administration had decided to require all students in the schools of business and engineering to buy their own computers…arrow_forwardDuring their senior year at Clarkson College, two business students, Gerry Keating and Louise Lamont, began a part-time business making personal computers.
