- As part of its cost control program, Tracer Company uses a standard costing system for all manufactured items. The standard cost for each item is established at the beginning of the fiscal year, and the standards are not revised until the beginning of the next fiscal year. Changes in costs, caused during the year by changes in direct materials or direct labor inputs or by changes in the manufacturing process, are recognized as they occur by the inclusion of planned variances in Tracers monthly operating budgets. The following direct labor standard was established for one of Tracers products, effective June 1, 2012, the beginning of the fiscal year: The standard was based on the direct labor being performed by a team consisting of five persons with Assembler A skills, three persons with Assembler B skills, and two persons with machinist skills; this team represents the most efficient use of the companys skilled employees. The standard also assumed that the quality of direct materials that had been used in prior years would be available for the coming year. For the first seven months of the fiscal year, actual manufacturing costs at Tracer have been within the standards established. However, the company has received a significant increase in orders, and there is an insufficient number of skilled workers to meet the increased production. Therefore, beginning in January, the production teams will consist of eight persons with Assembler A skills, one person with Assembler B skills, and one person with machinist skills. The reorganized teams will work more slowly than the normal teams, and as a result, only 80 units will be produced in the same time period in which 100 units would normally be produced. Faulty work has never been a cause for units to be rejected in the final inspection process, and it is not expected to be a cause for rejection with the reorganized teams. Furthermore, Tracer has been notified by its direct materials supplier that lower-quality direct materials will be supplied beginning January 1. Normally, one unit of direct materials is required for each good unit produced, and no units are lost due to defective direct materials. Tracer estimates that 6 percent of the units manufactured after January 1 will be rejected in the final inspection process due to defective direct materials. Required: 1. Determine the number of units of lower quality direct materials that Tracer Company must enter into production in order to produce 47,000 good finished units. 2. How many hours of each class of direct labor must be used to manufacture 47,000 good finished units? 3. Determine the amount that should be included in Tracers January operating budget for the planned direct labor variance caused by the reorganization of the direct labor teams and the lower quality direct materials. (CMA adapted)Flaherty, Inc., has just completed its first year of operations. The unit costs on a normal costing basis are as follows: During the year, the company had the following activity: Actual fixed overhead was 12,000 less than budgeted fixed overhead. Budgeted variable overhead was 5,000 less than the actual variable overhead. The company used an expected actual activity level of 12,000 direct labor hours to compute the predetermined overhead rates. Any overhead variances are closed to Cost of Goods Sold. Required: 1. Compute the unit cost using (a) absorption costing and (b) variable costing. 2. Prepare an absorption-costing income statement. 3. Prepare a variable-costing income statement. 4. Reconcile the difference between the two income statements.The fixed overhead budgeted for Ranier Industries at an expected capacity of 500,000 units is 1,500,000. Variable costing is used internally, and the net income is adjusted to an absorption costing net income at year-end. Data collected over the last three years show the following: Determine the adjustment each year to convert the variable costing income to absorption costing net income. Compute the absorption costing net income for each year.
- At the end of the current fiscal year, the trial balance of Big Apple Inc. revealed the following debit (unfavorable) balances: Flexible-Budget Variance — $2,000 Production–Volume Variance — $75,000 What conclusions can be drawn from these two variances?Listed below are the budgeted factory overhead costs for 2011 for Moss Industries at a projected level of 2,000 units: Required: Prepare flexible budgets for factory overhead at the 1,000, 2,000, and 4,000 unit levels. (Hint: You must first decide which of the listed costs should be considered variable and which should be fixed.)Adam Corporation manufactures computer tables and has the following budgeted indirect manufacturing cost information for the next year: If Adam uses the step-down (sequential) method, beginning with the Maintenance Department, to allocate support department costs to production departments, the total overhead (rounded to the nearest dollar) for the Machining Department to allocate to its products would be: a. 407,500. b. 422,750. c. 442,053. d. 445,000.
- The controller for Muir Companys Salem plant is analyzing overhead in order to determine appropriate drivers for use in flexible budgeting. She decided to concentrate on the past 12 months since that time period was one in which there was little important change in technology, product lines, and so on. Data on overhead costs, number of machine hours, number of setups, and number of purchase orders are in the following table. Required: 1. Calculate an overhead rate based on machine hours using the total overhead cost and total machine hours. (Round the overhead rate to the nearest cent and predicted overhead to the nearest dollar.) Use this rate to predict overhead for each of the 12 months. 2. Run a regression equation using only machine hours as the independent variable. Prepare a flexible budget for overhead for the 12 months using the results of this regression equation. (Round the intercept and x-coefficient to the nearest cent and predicted overhead to the nearest dollar.) Is this flexible budget better than the budget in Requirement 1? Why or why not?Using High-Low to Calculate Predicted Total Variable Cost and Total Cost for Budgeted Output Refer to the information for Speedy Petes above. Assume that this information was used to construct the following formula for monthly delivery cost. TotalDeliveryCost=41,850+(12.00NumberofDeliveries) Required: Assume that 3,000 deliveries are budgeted for the following month of January. Use the total delivery cost formula for the following calculations: 1. Calculate total variable delivery cost for January. 2. Calculate total delivery cost for January.Carmichael Corporation is in the process of preparing next years budget. The pro forma income statement for the current year is as follows: Required: 1. What is the break-even sales revenue (rounded to the nearest dollar) for Carmichael Corporation for the current year? 2. For the coming year, the management of Carmichael Corporation anticipates an 8 percent increase in variable costs and a 60,000 increase in fixed expenses. What is the break-even point in dollars for next year? (CMA adapted)
- Uchdorf Manufacturing just completed a study of its purchasing activity with the objective of improving its efficiency. The driver for the activity is number of purchase orders. The following data pertain to the activity for the most recent year: Activity supply: five purchasing agents capable of processing 2,400 orders per year (12,000 orders) Purchasing agent cost (salary): 45,600 per year Actual usage: 10,600 orders per year Value-added quantity: 7,000 orders per year Required: 1. Calculate the volume variance and explain its significance. 2. Calculate the unused capacity variance and explain its use. 3. What if the actual usage drops to 9,000 orders? What effect will this have on capacity management? What will be the level of spending reduction if the value-added standard is met?Factory overhead cost variance report Tannin Products Inc. prepared the following factory overhead cost budget for the Trim Department for July of the current year, during which it expected to use 20,000 hours for production: Tannin has available 25,000 hours of monthly productive capacity in the Trim Department under normal business conditions. During July, the Trim Department actually used 22,000 hours for production. The actual fixed costs were as budgeted. The actual variable overhead for July was as follows: Construct a factory overhead cost variance report for the Trim Department for July.Lowell Manufacturing Inc. has a normal selling price of 20 per unit and has been selling 125,000 units per month. In November, Lowell Manufacturing decided to lower its price to 19 per unit expecting it can increase the units sold by 16%. a. Compute the normal revenue with a 20 selling price. b. Compute the planned revenue with a 19 selling price. c. Compute the actual revenue for November, assuming 135,000 units were sold in November at 19 per unit. d.
