Martin, Inc. manufactures bookcases and uses an activity-based costing system. Martin鈥檚 activity areas and related data follow:
Activity | Budgeted Cost of Activity | Allocation Base | Predetermined Overhead Allocation Rate |
Materials handling | \( 230,000 | Number of parts | \)1.50 |
Assembly | 3,200,000 | Number of assembling direct labor hours | 16.00 |
Finishing | 150,000 | Number of finished units* | 3.00 |
*Refers to the number of units receiving the finishing activity, not the number of units transferred to Finished Goods Inventory
Martin produced two styles of bookcases in April: the standard bookcase and an unfinished bookcase, which has fewer parts and requires no finishing. The totals for quantities, direct materials costs, and other data follow:
Product | Total Units Produced | Total Direct materials Costs | Total Direct Labor Costs | Total Number of Parts | Total Assembling Direct Labor Hours |
Standard bookcase | 3,000 | \(54,000 | \)67,500 | 9,000 | 4,500 |
Unfinished bookcase | 3,500 | 56,000 | 52,500 | 7,000 | 3,500 |
Requirements
4. What price should Martin鈥檚 managers set for unfinished bookcases to earn a net profit of $19 per bookcase?
Franklin, Inc. uses activity-based costing to account for its chrome bumper manufacturing process. Company managers have identified four manufacturing activities:
materials handling, machine setup, insertion of parts, and finishing. The budgeted activity costs for 2018 and their allocation bases are as follows:
Activity Total Budgeted Cost Allocation Base
Materials handling \( 12,000 Number of parts
Machine setup 3,100 Number of setups
Insertion of parts 42,000 Number of parts
Finishing 86,000 Finishing direct labor hours
Total \) 143,100
Franklin expects to produce 500 chrome bumpers during the year. The bumpers are expected to use 4,000 parts, require 10 setups, and consume 1,000 hours of finishing time.
Requirements
1. Compute the predetermined overhead allocation rate for each activity.
Question:Blanchette Plant Service completed a special landscaping job for Kerry Company. Blanchette uses ABC and has the following predetermined overhead allocation rates:
Activity Predetermined
Allocation Base Overhead Allocation Rate
Designing Number of designs \( 290 per design
Planting Number of plants \) 20 per plant
The Kerry job included \(750 in plants; \)1,300 in direct labor; one design; and 30 plants.
Requirements
1. What is the total cost of the Kerry job?
Question:Low Range produces fleece jackets. The company uses JIT costing for its JIT production system.
Low Range has two inventory accounts: Raw and In-Process Inventory and
Finished Goods Inventory. On March 1, 2018, the account balances were Raw and In-Process Inventory, \(9,000; Finished Goods Inventory, \)1,700.
The standard cost of a jacket is \(40, composed of \)12 direct materials plus \(28 conversion costs. Data for March鈥檚 activities follow:
Number of jackets completed 15,000
Number of jackets sold (on account, for \)50 each) 14,600
Direct materials purchased (on account) \( 177,500
Conversion costs incurred \) 521,000
Requirements
1. What are the major features of a JIT production system such as that of Low Range?
Stegall, Inc. manufactures motor scooters. For each of the following examples of quality costs, indicate which of the following quality cost categories each example represents: prevention costs, appraisal costs, internal failure costs, or external failure costs.
1. Preventive maintenance on machinery
2. Direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead incurred to rework a defective scooter that is detected in-house through inspection
3. Lost profits from lost sales if the company鈥檚 reputation is hurt because customers previously purchased a poor-quality scooter
4. Cost of inspecting raw materials, such as chassis and wheels
5. Working with suppliers to achieve on-time delivery of defect-free raw materials
6. Cost of warranty repairs on a scooter that malfunctions at a customer鈥檚 location
7. Costs of testing durability of vinyl
8. Cost to reinspect reworked scooters
