Signatron Corporation
Producer of rectifiers (electronic 'resistors')
1 Basic facts: Helen Barnes, a recent graduate from B-school is assigned as assistant to Jim Jacoby, Signatron's Sales Manager for rectifiers Order is received for 6,000 units of number 401 rectifiers; not sufficient units (only 3,000) exist in the inventory. Order can be filled with units that met or exceeded the specifications of product ordered (402 or above). Customer will not pay extra for extra quality. 2 Production process: 60% of the total chips are first-class; 40% are seconds < 20% of the total chips are eventually sold as part of the regular product line 3 Accounting Methodology: Direct costs are allocated directly Manufacturing costs are "joint" with

In order to maximize the total profit, the monthly production plan should be 1900 unit/month for Model S and 650 unit/month
Martinez Company’s relevant range of Production is 7,500 to 12,500 units. When it produces and sells 10,000 units, its unit costs are as follows:

blending labor). If you divide the total cost of $68,094 by the volume produced from a batch, 169,088oz, you
There are four products you produce at the studio: Patterned glasses, Paperweights, Wrapped tumblers and Vases. Based on amount of a batch mix and average number of units produced, I calculated Direct Materials per Unit as following:
Company Wide Overhead Rate equal Forecast Overhead divided by Expected Machine Hours Overhead Rate equal $480,000 equal $6 per machine hour 80,000. Company Wide Rate: Direct Material Costs x Batch Size plus Direct Labor Costs x Batch Size Maxiflow: Alaska: 135 x 20 equal 2700 110 x 20 equal 2200 75 x 20 equal 1500 95 x 20 equal 1900 equal $4200 per batch equal $4100 per batch Departmental Rate. Direct Materials Costs plus Direct Labor Costs divided by Each Department Hour Maxiflow: 135 plus 75 equal $210 Radiator Parts Fabrication: 210 divided by 28 equal $7.50 per batch Radiator Assembly, Weld, and Test equal 210 divided by 30 equal $7 per batch Compressor Parts Fabrication: 210 divided by 32 equal $6.60 per batch Compressor Assembly and Test: 210 divided by 26 equal $8.10 per batch Alaska: 110 plus 95 equal 205 Radiator Parts Fabrication: 205 divided by 16 equal $12.80 per batch Radiator Assembly, Weld, and Test: 205 divided by 74 equal $2.70 per batch Compressor Parts Fabrication: 205 divided by 8 equal $25.60 per batch Compressor Assembly and Test: 205 divided by 66 equal $3.10 per batch. There was only a $100 difference between Maxiflow and Alaska when it came to company-wide rates per batch.
Thirdly, at the product activity level, the two Operations costs are likely to vary mainly with the Number of Units Produced and the three Sales costs are also likely to vary mainly with the Number of Units Produced.
In the current situation, the order is set to every Monday which means a total number of 50 orders for the whole period, and the average Inventory calculated from the given data is 5 units. Therefore, total cost of the current situation calculation will be as follows:
