How is the Conversion Costs account used in JIT costing?
Refer to Exercises E19-20 and E19-21. Controller Michael Bender is surprised by the increase in cost of the deluxe model under ABC. Market research shows that for the deluxe rim to provide a reasonable profit, Eason will have to meet a target manufacturing cost of \(625.00 per rim. A value engineering study by Eason’s employees suggests that modifications to the finishing process could cut finishing cost from \)90.00 to \(60.00 per hour and reduce the finishing direct labor hours per deluxe rim from 5.50 hours to 5.0 hours. Direct materials would remain unchanged at \)48.00 per rim, as would direct labor at $52.00 per rim. The materials handling, machine setup, and insertion of parts activity costs also would remain the same.
Would implementing the value engineering recommendation enable Eason to achieve its target cost for the deluxe rim?
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?
Refer to Short Exercise S19-10. Haworth desires a 20% target operating income after covering all costs. Considering the total costs assigned to the Client 76 job in Short Exercise S19-10, what would Haworth have to charge the customer to achieve that operating income? Round to two decimal places.
