14. The definitely-not-Russian Olympic team committee manufactures clean urine samples for their definitely-not-doped-up athletes, to be used for totally innocent reasons – definitely not whatever you’re thinking. Anyways, the committee estimates that they will incur $140,000 of direct materials costs, $180,000 of direct labor costs, and $270,000 of overhead costs. They plan to allocate overhead costs based on direct labor costs. During the production period, it is found that they actually incurred $125,000 of direct materials costs, $175,000 of direct labor costs, and $285,000 of overhead costs. Before correcting for mis-applied overhead costs, the committee determines that they have an ending work-in-process inventory valued at $228,000. If they started the production period with $97,000 worth of unfinished product, how much COGM was recognized during this production period?

Intercontinental Chemical Company, located in Buenos Aires, Argentina, recently received an order for a product it does not normally produce. Since the company has excess production capacity, management is considering accepting the order. In analyzing the decision, the assistant controller is compiling the relevant costs of producing the order. Production of the special order would require 8,000 kilograms of theolite. Intercontinental does not use theolite for its regular product, but the firm has 8,000 kilograms of the chemical on hand from the days when it used theolite regularly. The theolite could be sold to a chemical wholesaler for 14,500 p. The book value of the theolite is 2.00 p per kilogram. Intercontinental could buy theolite for 2.40 p per kilogram. (p denotes the peso, Argentina’s national monetary unit. Many countries use the peso as their unit of currency. On the day this exercise was written, Argentina’s peso was worth 0.104 U.S. dollar.)

The Haven Machine Company makes 40,000 screws to be used in the production of its washing machines. The cost per screw at this level of activity is: Direct materials £3.50 Direct labour £3.60 Variable manufacturing overhead £2.75 Fixed manufacturing overhead £4.45 An outside supplier has offered to supply all the screws the company needs for £14 each. If O.T. Company decided not to make the screws, none of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost could be avoided. If Haven Machine Company decides to continue making the motor, how much higher or lower would operating profit be than if the motors are purchased from the outside supplier?
ABC Manufacturing Corp. is using 10,000 units of part no. 300 as a component to assemble one of its products.

Sunland Fiber Company is the creator of Y-Go, a technology that weaves silver into its fabrics to kill bacteria and odor on clothing while managing heat. Y-Go has become very popular in undergarments for sports activities. Operating at capacity, the company can produce 1,099,000 Y-Go undergarments a year. The per unit and the total costs for an individual garment when the company operates at a full capacity are as follows: The U.S Army has approached Sunland Fiber and expressed an interest in purchasing 250,200 Y-GO undergarments for soldiers in extremely warm climates. The Army would pay the unit cost for direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead costs. In addition, the Army has agreed to pay an additional $1.00 per undergarment to cover all other costs and provide a profit. Presently, Sunland Fiber is operating at 70% capacity and does not have any other potential buyers for Y-GO. If Sundland Fiber accepts the Army’s offer, it will not incite any variable selling…

Dinoco manufactures racing products in a manufacturing facility with a total of 25,000 square feet of theoretically usable space. However, they can only practically use 80% of that space for production. During 2021, the company incurred $120,000 in direct materials and $80,000 in direct labor. Total overhead costs associated with the manufacturing facility were $321,000. If Dinoco only actually used 15,000 square feet of space during the year, what was their cost of unused capacity? (round to the nearest dollar) ***CORRECT ANSWER IS 80,250. PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW STEP-BY-STEP***

Algonac Moldings produces a product made from a metal alloy. Two suppliers, Liebold Metal and Cecil Distributors, supply the alloy. Neither supplier can meet Algonac's typical demand, because of capacity constraints. The material from Liebold is less expensive to buy but more difficult to use, resulting in greater waste. The metal alloy is highly toxic and any waste requires costly handling to avoid environmental accidents. Last year the cost of handling the waste totaled $1,200,000. Additional data from last year’s operations are shown as follows: Liebold Metals Cecil Distributors Amount of material purchased (tons) 64.8 115.2 Amount of waste (tons) 9.0 11.0 Cost of purchases $ 1,488,000 $ 3,312,000 Required: Allocate the cost of the waste handling to the two suppliers based on: Amount of material purchased. Amount of waste. Cost of material purchased. Amount of material purchased. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. A.)…
There are four factories in the city of Gotham that are polluting the waterways. Each firm is currently producing 4 pounds of pollution; Managers will continue to pollute unless the local government intervenes. Managers will prefer to maximize economic profit by avoiding paying any costs to reduce or prevent pollution created by their business. The table below shows the marginal cost of cleaning up each pound of pollution. For example, the Gamma’s cost of cleaning up the third-pound of pollution is $180. Beta’s cost of cleaning up the first pound of pollution is $30. If Alpha cleaned up all four pounds of pollution, the total cost will be $320 (=40+40+80+160) i.e. add up the marginal cost.
