- The following product Costs are available for Haworth Company on the production of chairs: direct materials, $15,500; direct labor, $22.000; manufacturing overhead, $16.500; selling expenses, $6,900; and administrative expenses, $15,200. What are the prime costs? What are the conversion costs? What is the total product cost? What is the total period cost? If 7,750 equivalent units are produced, what is the equivalent material cost per unit? If 22,000 equivalent units are produced, what is the equivalent conversion cost per unit?Oakes Inc. manufactured 40,000 gallons of Mononate and 60,000 gallons of Beracyl in a joint production process, incurring 250,000 of joint costs. Oakes allocates joint costs based on the physical volume of each product produced. Mononate and Beracyl can each be sold at the split-off point in a semifinished state or, alternatively, processed further. Additional data about the two products are as follows: An assistant in the companys cost accounting department was overheard saying ...that when both joint and separable costs are considered, the firm has no business processing either product beyond the split-off point. The extra revenue is simply not worth the effort. Which of the following strategies should be recommended for Oakes?Hawkins Manufacturing Company produces connecting rods for 4- and 6-cylindcr automobile engines using the same production line. The cost required to set up the production line to produce the 4-cylinder connecting rods is 2,000, and the cost required to set up the production line for the 6-cylinder connecting rods is 3,500. Manufacturing costs are 15 for each 4-cylinder connecting rod and 18 for each 6-cylinder connecting rod. There is no production on weekends, so on Friday the line is disassembled and cleaned. On Monday, the line must be set up to run whichever product will be produced that week. Once the line has been set up, the weekly production capacities are 6,000 6-cylinder connecting rods and 8,000 4-cylinder connecting rods. Let x4 = the number of 4-cylinder connecting rods produced next week x6 = the number of 6-cylinder connecting rods produced next week s4 = 1 if the production line is set up to produce the 4-cylinder connecting rods; 0 if otherwise s6 = 1 if the production line is set up to produce the 6-cylinder connecting rods; 0 if otherwise a. Using the decision variables x4 and s4, write a constraint that sets next weeks maximum production of the 4-cylinder connecting rods to either 0 or 8,000 units. b. Using the decision variables x6 and s6, write a constraint that sets next weeks maximum production of the 6-cylinder connecting rods to either 0 or 6,000 units. c. Write a constraint that requires that production be set up for exactly one of the two rods. d. Write the cost function to be minimized.
- Walloon Company produced 150 defective units last month at a unit manufacturing cost of 30. The defective units were discovered before leaving the plant. Walloon can sell them as is for 20 or can rework them at a cost of 15 and sell them at the regular price of 50. What is the total relevant cost of reworking the defective units? a. 2,250 b. 3,000 c. 4,500 d. 6,750Zena Technology sells arc computer printers for $55 per unit. Unit product costs are: A special order to purchase 15,000 arc printers has recently been received from another company and Zena has idle capacity to fill the order. Zena will incur an additional $2 per printer for additional labor costs due to a slight modification the buyer wants made to the original product. One-third of the manufacturing overhead costs is fixed and will be incurred no matter how many units are produced. When negotiating the price, what is the minimum selling price that Zena should accept for this special order?Otero Fibers, Inc., specializes in the manufacture of synthetic fibers that the company uses in many products such as blankets, coats, and uniforms for police and firefighters. Otero has been in business since 1985 and has been profitable every year since 1993. The company uses a standard cost system and applies overhead on the basis of direct labor hours. Otero has recently received a request to bid on the manufacture of 800,000 blankets scheduled for delivery to several military bases. The bid must be stated at full cost per unit plus a return on full cost of no more than 10 percent after income taxes. Full cost has been defined as including all variable costs of manufacturing the product, a reasonable amount of fixed overhead, and reasonable incremental administrative costs associated with the manufacture and sale of the product. The contractor has indicated that bids in excess of 30 per blanket are not likely to be considered. In order to prepare the bid for the 800,000 blankets, Andrea Lightner, cost accountant, has gathered the following information about the costs associated with the production of the blankets. Direct machine costs consist of items such as special lubricants, replacement of needles used in stitching, and maintenance costs. These costs are not included in the normal overhead rates. Otero recently developed a new blanket fiber at a cost of 750,000. In an effort to recover this cost, Otero has instituted a policy of adding a 0.50 fee to the cost of each blanket using the new fiber. To date, the company has recovered 125,000. Lightner knows that this fee does not fit within the definition of full cost, as it is not a cost of manufacturing the product. Required: 1. Calculate the minimum price per blanket that Otero Fibers could bid without reducing the companys operating income. 2. Using the full-cost criteria and the maximum allowable return specified, calculate Otero Fibers bid price per blanket. 3. Without prejudice to your answer to Requirement 2, assume that the price per blanket that Otero Fibers calculated using the cost-plus criteria specified is greater than the maximum bid of 30 per blanket allowed. Discuss the factors that Otero Fibers should consider before deciding whether or not to submit a bid at the maximum acceptable price of 30 per blanket. (CMA adapted)
