- The inventory footnote from Deere & Company's 2010 10-K follows ($ millions). 15. INVENTORIES Most inventories owned by Deere & Company and its US equipment subsidiaries are valued at cost, on the "last-in, first- out" (LIFO) basis. Remaining inventories are generally valued at the lower of cost, on the "first-in, first-out" (FIFO) basis. Remaining inventories are generally valued at the lower of cost, on the "first-in, first-out" (FIFO) basis, or market. The value of gross inventories on the LIFO basis represented 59 percent of worldwide gross inventories at FIFO value on October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. If all inventories had been valued on a FIFO basis, estimated inventories by major classification at October 31 in millions of dollars would have been as follows: 2013 2012 Raw materials and supplies $2,402 $1,880 Work-in-process 966 774 Finished goods and parts 5,554 4,874 Total FIFO value 8,922 7,528 Less adjustment to LIFO value (2,796) (2,734) Inventories $6,126 $4,794 We…arrow_forwardThe management of a manufacturing company has the following information: Revenue function: R = 2700Q %3D | - 15Q² Profit-maximizing price is 1500 units. 1\ Using the above information, determine the following: i.

The figure below shows the cost structure of this utility for various levels of water service. Quantity of water consumption is measured in 1,000-gallon units per month. AQFC is the average quasi-fixed cost curve, and LAC is long-run average cost. Long-run marginal cost, LMC, is constant and equal to $4 per 1,000-gallon unit.

- Refer to (Total Time = 20 minutes (VA time) + 10 minutes (NVA time) = 30 minutes; Total Cost = $11.67 (VA cost) + $5.417 (NVA cost) = $17.087) the restaurant value stream map, and recompute the total value-added and non-value-added time and cost given the following new information. The chef's time is valued at $30 per hour, oven operation at $10 per hour, precooking order waiting time at $5 per hour, and postcooking order waiting time at $60 per hour. The $60 estimate reflects the cost of poor quality for a dinner waiting too long that might be delivered to the customer late (and cold). If a restaurant uses iPads to place orders and notify waiters when the customer's order is ready, the time on the order board (now an electronic order board) decreases from five to four minutes, and the prepared order wait time decreases from five to two minutes.

- ENGINEERING ECONOMY RATE WILL BE GIVEN. WRITE THE COMPLETE SOLUTIONS/EXPLANATION LEGIBLY OR TYPEWRITTEN. GIVE STRAIGHT TO THE POINT EXPLANATION. A company is analyzing a make-versus-purchase situation for a component used in several products, and the engineering department has developed these data: Option A: Purchase 10,000 items per year at a fixed price of $8.50 per item. The cost of placing the order is negligible according to the present cost accounting procedure. Option B: Manufacture 10,000 items per year, using available capacity in the factory. Cost estimates are direct materials = $5.00 per item and direct labor = $1.50 per item. Manufacturing overhead is allocated at 200% of direct labor (= $3.00 per item). Based on these data, should the item be purchased or manufactured?arrow_forwardYou are the marketing manager of the Business Unit (BU) that produces polystyrene (which is an input to making lightweight rigid foam). The current Demand/Supply balance, as measured by the ICIS price, is $800 per ton of polystyrene. The BU has 2 plants and can produce a total of 1800 tons. At full capacity utilization, the BU’s average variable cost equals $1300/t and its average total cost equals $1700/t.Plant 1 has a capacity of 600 tons and a marginal cost of $900/t. Plant 2 has capacity of 1200 tons and a marginal cost of $1500/t. Due to exit of one competitor, you expect next year’s polystyrene ICIS price to increase to $1200. 1. How much volume of polystyrene do you expect to produce next year, if any? 2. What is your expected contribution margin for next year? 3. What is your expected profit for next year?arrow_forwardYou are the marketing manager of the Business Unit (BU) that produces polystyrene (which is an input to making lightweight rigid foam).
