Chapter 5, Problem 31P
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?

At Cleveland Hopkins International Airport in northeastern Ohio, a vending machine that dispenses socks was recently installed. Located in the C concourse, the Stance sock vending machine offers a variety of what Stance refers to as “uncommon” socks. The designs on the socks in the Cleveland airport vending machine include Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Indians, patriotic flag designs, Hawaiian tropical flowers, and others.
The machine is stocked with an assortment of socks. The airport traveler inserts a credit card, makes a sock selection in the keypad, and the socks are dispensed to the purchaser.
Stance sells its socks through retailers, at its own stores, via vending machines, and through monthly subscriptions.
Are Stance’s costs mostly variable or fixed? What impact does this cost structure have on the break-even volume for Stance’s operation of that vending machine?

Sally works as a manager in the gardening section of her local Bunnings
Store. Recently, Sally was approached by a customer asking questions
about the store's range of built-in kitchens. Although she knew nothing
about the products, Sally recommended the deluxe kitchen package
which came with free installation. After completing the sale, Sally handed
the customer her Bunnings business card (which identified her as a
manager), explained that the customer should get his new kitchen
professionally installed and to forward her the 3 party's invoice- which
Bunnings would pay. A few weeks later, the customer is shocked to learn
that Bunnings is refusing to pay his carpenter's $10,000 invoice and that
Sally failed to mention that the offer was capped at $500.

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_forwardThe Irwin Batting Company manufactures wood baseball bats.
