(Appendix 3A) Separating Fixed and Variable Costs, Service Setting Louise McDermott, controller for the Galvin plant of Veromar Inc., wanted to determine the cost behavior of moving materials throughout the plant. She accumulated the following data on the number of moves (from 100 to 800 in increments of 100) and the total cost of moving materials at those levels of moves: Required: 1. Prepare a scattergraph based on these data. Use cost for the vertical axis and number of moves for the horizontal axis. Based on an examination of the scattergraph, does there appear to be a linear relationship between the total cost of moving materials and the number of moves? 2. Compute the cost formula for moving materials by using the high-low method. Calculate the predicted cost for a month with 550 moves by using the high-low formula. (Note: Round the answer for the variable rate to three decimal places and the answer for total fixed cost and total cost to the nearest dollar.) 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Compute the cost formula for moving materials using the method of least squares. (Note: For the method of least squares, round the variable rate to two decimal places and total fixed cost and total cost to the nearest dollar.) Using the regression cost formula, what is the predicted cost for a month with 550 moves? What does the coefficient of determination tell you about the cost formula computed by regression? 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Evaluate the cost formula using the least squares coefficients. Could it be improved? Try dropping the third data point (300, 3,400), and rerun the regression.
Production run size and activity improvement Littlejohn, Inc. manufactures machined parts for the automotive industry. The activity cost associated with Part XX-10 is as follows: Activity Activity-Base Usage Activity Rate = Activity Cost Fabrication 250 dlh 80per dlh 20,000 Setup 10 setups 80 per setup 800 Production control 10 prod, runs 30 per prod, run 300 Moving 10 moves 25 per move 250 Total activity cost per unit 21,350 Estimated units of production 500 Activity cost per unit 42.70 Each unit requires 30 minutes of fabrication direct labor. Moreover, part XX-10 is manufactured in production run sizes of 50 units. Each production run is set up, scheduled (production control), and moved as a batch of 50 units. Management is considering improvements in the setup, production control, and moving activities in order to cut the production run sizes by half. As a result, the number of setups, production runs, and mows will double from 10 to 20. Such improvements are expected to speed the companys ability to respond to customer orders. Setup is reengineered so that it takes 60% of the original cost per setup. Production control software will allow production control effort and cost per production run to decline by 60%. Moving distance was reduced by 40%, thus reducing the cost per mow by the same amount. A. Determine the revised activity cost per unit under the proposed changes. B. Did these improvements reduce the activity cost per unit? C. What cost per unit for setup would be required for the solution in (A) to equal the base solution?
