Appendix Absorption costing income statement On June 30, the end of the first month of operations, Tudor Manufacturing Co. prepared the following income statement, based on the variable existing concept: Sales (420,000 units) 7,450,000 Variable cost of goods sold: Variable cost of goods manufactured (500,000 units x 14 per unit) 7,000,000 Less ending inventory (80,000 units x 14 per unit) 1,120,000 Variable cost of goods sold 5,880,000 Manufacturing margin 1,570,000 Variable selling and administrative expenses 80,000 Contribution margin 1,490,000 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing costs 160,000 Fixed selling and administrative expenses 75,000 235,000 Income from operations 1,255,000 a. Prepare an absorption costing income statement. b. Reconcile the variable costing income from operations of 1,255,000 with the absorption costing income from operations determined in (a).
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?
Communication The controller of New Wave Sounds Inc. prepared the following product profitability report for management, using activity-based costing methods for allocating both the factory overhead and the marketing expenses. As such, the controller has confidence in the accuracy of this report. Home Theater Speakers Wireless Speakers Wireless Headphones Total Sales 1,500,000 1,200,000 900,000 3,600,000 Cost of goods sold 1,050,000 720,000 810,000 2,580,000 Gross profit 450,000 480,000 90,000 1,020,000 Marketing expenses 600,000 120,000 72,000 792,000 Income from operations (150,000) 360,000 18,000 228,000 In addition, the controller interviewed the vice president of marketing, who provided the following insight into the company's three products: The home theater speakers are an older product that is highly recognized in the marketplace. The wireless speakers are a new product that was just recently bunched. The wireless headphones are a new technology that has no competition in the marketplace, and it is hoped that they will become an important future addition to the companys product portfolio. Initial indications are that the product is well received by customers. The controller believes that the manufacturing costs for all three products are in line with expectations. Based on the information provided: 1. Calculate the ratio of gross profit to sales and the ratio of income from operations to sales for each product. 2. Write a brief (one page) memo using the product profitability report and the calculations in (1) to make recommendations to management with respect to strategies for the three products.
Construct and interpret a product profitability report, allocating selling and administrative expenses Naper Inc. manufactures power equipment. Naper has two primary productsgenerators and air compressors. The following report was prepared by the controller for Napers senior marketing management for the year ended December 31: Generators Air Compressors Total Revenue 4,200,000 3,000,000 7,200,000 Cost of goods sold 2,940,000 2,100,000 5,040,000 Gross profit 1,260,000 900,000 2,160,000 Selling and administrative expenses 610,000 Income from operations 1,550,000 The marketing management team was concerned that the selling and administrative expenses were not traced to the products. Marketing management believed that some products consumed larger amounts of selling and administrative expense than did other products. To verify this, the controller was asked to prepare a complete product profitability report, using activity-based costing. The controller determined that selling and administrative expenses consisted of two activities: sales order processing and post-sale customer service. The controller was able to determine the activity base and activity rate for each activity, as follows: Activity Activity Base Activity Rate Sales order processing Sales orders 65 per sales order Post-sale customer service Service requests 200 per customer service request The controller determined the following activity-base usage information about each product: Generators Air Compressors Number of sales orders 3,000 4,000 Number of service requests 225 550 A. Determine the activity cost of each product for sales order processing and post-sale customer service activities. B. Use the information in (A) to prepare a complete product profitability report dated for the year ended December 31. Compute the gross profit to sales and the income from operations to sales percentages for each product. (Round to two decimal places.) C. Interpret the product profitability report. How should management respond to the report?
Activity-based department rate product costing and product cost distortions Big Sound Inc. manufactures two products: receivers and loud-speakers. The factory overhead incurred is as follows: Indirect labor 400,400 Cutting Department 198,800 Finishing Department 114,800 Total 714,000 The activity base associated with the two production departments is direct labor hours. The indirect labor can be assigned to two different activities as follows: Activity Budgeted Activity Cost Activity Base Setup 138,600 Number of setup Quality Control 261,800 Number of inspections Total 400,400 The activity-base usage quantities and units produced for the two products follow: Number o Setup Number of Inspections Direct Labor HoursSubassembly Direct Labor HoursFinal Assembly Units Produced Snowboards 430 5,000 4,000 2,000 6,000 Skis _70 2,500 2,000 4,000 6,000 Total 500 7,500 6,000 6,000 12,000 Instructions 1. Determine the factory overhead rates under the multiple production department rate method. Assume that indirect labor is associated with the production departments, so that the total factory overhead is 5420,000 and 294,000 for the Subassembly and Final Assembly departments, respectively. 2. Determine the total and per-unit factory overhead costs allocated to each product, using the multiple production department overhead rates in (1). 3. Determine the activity rates, assuming that the indirect labor is associated with activities rather than with the production departments. 4. Determine the total and per-unit cost assigned to each product under activity-based costing. 5. Explain the difference in the per-unit overhead allocated to each product under the multiple production department factory overhead rate and activity-based costing methods.
Single plantwide rate and activity-based costing Whirlpool Corporation conducted an activity-based costing study of its Evansville, Indiana, plant in order to identify its most profitable products. Assume that we select three representative refrigerators (out of 333): one low-, one medium-, and one high-volume refrigerator. Additionally, we assume the following activity-base information for each of the three refrigerators: Prior to conducting the study, the factory overhead allocation was based on a single machine hour rate. The machine hour rate was 200 per hour. After conducting the activity-based costing study, assume that three activities were used to allocate the factory overhead. The new activity rate information is assumed to be as follows: Machining Activity Setup Activity Sales order Processing Activity Activity rate 160 240 55 A. Complete the following table, using the single machine hour rate to determine the per-unit factory overhead for each refrigerator (Column A) and the three activity-based rates to determine the activity-based factory overhead per unit (Column B). Finally, compute the percent change in per-unit allocation from the single to activity-based rate methods (Column C). (Round per-unit overhead to two decimal places and percents to one decimal place.) Product Volume Class Column A Single Rate Overhead Allocation per Unit Column B ABC Overhead Allocation per Unit Column C Percent Change in Allocation (Col. B - Col. A)/Col. A Low Medium High B. Why is the traditional overhead rate per machine hour greater under the single rate method than under the activity-based method? C. Interpret Column C in your table from part (A).
