Problem 4-37 Operation Costing; Unit Costs (LO 4-7) [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] (Contributed by Roland Minch.) Glass Glow Company manufactures a variety of glass windows in its Egalton plant. In Department I, clear glass sheets are produced, and some of these sheets are sold as finished goods. Other sheets made in Department I have metallic oxides added in Department II to form colored glass sheets. Some of these colored sheets are sold; others are moved to Department III for etching and then are sold. The company uses operation costing. Glass Glow Company's production costs applied to products in May are given in the following table. There was no beginning or ending inventory of work in process for May. Cost Category Direct material Direct labor Manufacturing overhead Dept. I $450,000 38,000 230,000 Products Clear glass, sold after Dept. I Unetched colored glass, sold after Dept.

Reducir, Inc., produces two different types of hydraulic cylinders. Reducir produces a major subassembly for the cylinders in the Cutting and Welding Department. Other parts and the subassembly are then assembled in the Assembly Department. The activities, expected costs, and drivers associated with these two manufacturing processes are given below. Note: In the assembly process, the materials-handling activity is a function of product characteristics rather than batch activity. Other overhead activities, their costs, and drivers are listed below. Other production information concerning the two hydraulic cylinders is also provided: Required: 1. Using a plantwide rate based on machine hours, calculate the total overhead cost assigned to each product and the unit overhead cost. 2. Using activity rates, calculate the total overhead cost assigned to each product and the unit overhead cost. Comment on the accuracy of the plantwide rate. 3. Calculate the global consumption ratios. 4. Calculate the consumption ratios for welding and materials handling (Assembly) and show that two drivers, welding hours and number of parts, can be used to achieve the same ABC product costs calculated in Requirement 2. Explain the value of this simplification. 5. Calculate the consumption ratios for inspection and engineering, and show that the drivers for these two activities also duplicate the ABC product costs calculated in Requirement 2.
Required information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Celestial Products, Inc., has decided to introduce a new product, which can be manufactured by either a computer- assisted manufacturing system or a labor-intensive production system.
