Electan Company produces two types of printers. The company uses ABC, and all activity drivers are duration drivers. Electan Company is considering using DBC and has gathered the following data to help with its decision. A. Activities with duration drivers: B. Activities with consumption ratios and costs: C. Products with cycle time and practical capacity: Required: 1. Using cycle time and practical capacity for each product, calculate the total time for all primary activities. Comment on the relationship to ABC. 2. Calculate the overhead rate that DBC uses to assign costs. Comment on the relationship to a unit-based plantwide overhead rate. 3. Use the overhead rate calculated in Requirement 2 to calculate (a) the overhead cost per unit for each product, and (b) the total overhead assigned to each product. How does this compare to the ABC assignments shown in Part B of the Information set? 4. What if the units actually produced were 10,000 for Printer A and 18,000 for Printer B. Using DBC, calculate the cost of unused capacity.
Lean manufacturing uses value streams to produce a family of products that require the same manufacturing sequence. Value-stream costing is an approach often used to determine the unit product costs in a lean manufacturing environment. Which of the following best describes how unit costs are calculated using value-stream costing? a. Value stream costs divided by units shipped b. Value stream costs divided by units produced c. (Total prime costs + overhead costs assigned to the value stream using a plantwide rate) divided by units produced d. Activity-based costing assignments within the value stream
Classify the following costs of activity inputs as variable, fixed, or mixed. Identify the activity and the associated activity driver that allow you to define the cost behavior. For example, assume that the resource input is cloth in a shirt. The activity would be sewing shirts, the cost behavior variable, and the activity driver units produced. Prepare your answers in the following format: a. Flu vaccine b. Salaries, equipment, and materials used for moving materials in a factory c. Forms used to file insurance claims d.

Carolina Yachts builds custom yachts in its production factory in South Carolina. Once complete, these yachts must be shipped to the dealership. They have collected this shipping cost data: Prepare a scatter graph of the shipping data. Plot cost on the vertical axis and yachts shipped on the horizontal axis. Is the relationship between shipping costs and unit shipped approximately linear? Draw a straight line through the scatter graph. Using the high-low method, create the cost formula for Carolina Yachts shipping costs. The least-squares regression method was used and the analysis resulted in this cost equation: Y= 4,000+ 1,275x. Comment on the accuracy of your high-low method estimation. What would you estimate shipping costs to be if Carolina Yachts shipped 10 yachts in a single month? Use the cost formula you obtained in part B. Comment on how accurately this is reflected by the scatter graph you constructed. What factors other than number of yachts shipped do you think could affect Carolina Yachts shipping expense? Explain.

Coca-Cola uses process costing. And, products that are customizable should use job costing. However, sometimes a large amount of the product is similar and then there are some small differences (or customization) at the end. Can anyone give me any examples of these types of products? Note that when that occurs, we don't have to use use just process costing or just job costing. We can use a combination of both systems, then adding them together to help us get to a final cost of the product. Examples of good candidates for this process?
A owner of a bike shop specializes in custom-built bikes. The Sales Manager & CFO want to talk to the owner about switching product costing allocation methods. The Sales Manager recommends switching from a single plant-wide factory overhead rate to multiple production department overhead rate. The CFO recommends activity-based costing with 4 cost pools. What are the possible product cost distortions under each cost allocation method? And what recommendation should be implement and why?
