Caseys Kitchens makes two types of food smokers: Gas and Electric. The company expects to manufacture 20,000 units of Gas smokers, which have a per-unit direct material cost of $15 and a per-unit direct labor cost of $25. k also expects to manufacture 50,000 units of Electric smokers, which have a per-unit material cost of $20 and a per-unit direct labor cost of $45. Historically, it has used the traditional allocation method and applied overhead at a rate of $125 per machine hour. It was determined that there were three cost pools, and the overhead for each cost pool is as follows: The cost driver for each cost pool and its expected activity is as follows: A. What is the per-unit cost for each product under the traditional allocation method? B. What is the per-unit cost for each product under ABC costing? C. Compared to ABC costing, was each products overhead under- or over applied? D. How much was overhead under- or over applied for each product?
TyeDye Lights makes two products: Party and Holiday. It takes 80,900 direct labor hours to manufacture the Party Line and 93,500 direct labor hours to manufacture the Holiday Line. Overhead consists of $225,000 in the machine setup cost pool and $149,960 in the packaging cost pool. The machine setup pool has 52,000 setups for the Party product and 98,000 setups for the Holiday product. The packaging cost pool has 26,000 parts in the Party product and 39,200 parts for the Holiday product. Using the traditional cost method of direct labor hours, what is the predetermined overhead rate? A. $1.50 per direct labor hour B. $2.15 per direct labor hour C. $2.30 per direct labor hour D. $3.80 per direct labor hour
Bountiful Manufacturing produces two types of bike frames (Frame X and Frame Y). Frame X passes through four processes: cutting, welding, polishing, and painting. Frame Y uses three of the same processes: cutting, welding, and painting. Each of the four processes employs 10 workers who work eight hours each day. Frame X sells for 40 per unit, and Frame Y sells for 55 per unit. Materials is the only unit-level variable expense. The materials cost for Frame X is 20 per unit, and the materials cost for Frame Y is 25 per unit. Bountifuls accounting system has provided the following additional information about its operations and products: Bountifuls management has determined that any production interruptions can be corrected within two days. Required: 1. Assuming that Bountiful can meet daily market demand, compute the potential daily profit. Now, compute the minutes needed for each process to meet the daily market demand. Can Bountiful meet daily market demand? If not, where is the bottleneck? Can you derive an optimal mix without using a graphical solution? If so, explain how. 2. Identify the objective function and the constraints. Then, graph the constraints facing Bountiful. Determine the optimal mix and the maximum daily contribution margin (throughput). 3. Explain how a drum-buffer-rope system would work for Bountiful. 4. Suppose that the Engineering Department has proposed a process design change that will increase the polishing time for Frame X from 15 to 23 minutes per unit and decrease the welding time from 15 minutes to 10 minutes per unit (for Frame X). The cost of process redesign would be 10,000. Evaluate this proposed change. What step in the TOC process does this proposal represent?
Activity-based costing and product cost distortion The management of Four Finger Appliance Company in Exercise 14 has asked you to use activity-based costing instead of direct labor hours to allocate factory overhead costs to the two products. You have determined that 81,000 of factory overhead from each of the production departments can be associated with setup activity (162,000 in total). Company records indicate that blenders required 135 setups, while the toaster ovens required only 45 setups. Each product has a production volume of 7,500 units. Determine the three activity rates (assembly, test and pack, and setup). Determine the total factory overhead and factory overhead per unit allocated to each product using the activity rates in (A).
Customs makes two types of hats: polyester (poly) and silk. There are two cost pools: setup, with an estimated $100,000 in overhead, and inspection, with $25,000 in overhead. Poly is estimated to have 750,000 setups and 170,000 inspections, while silk has 250,000 setups and 80,000 inspections. How much overhead is applied to each product?
Multiple production department factory overhead rates The management of Spotted Cow Dairy Company, described in Problem 1B, now plans to use the multiple production department factory overhead rate method. The total factory overhead associated with each department is as follows: Instructions Determine the multiple production department factory overhead rates, using machine hours for the Blending Department and direct labor hours for the Packing Department. Determine the product factory overhead costs, using the multiple production department rates in (1).

During August, Gardner produced 250,000 boxes with the following costs: Required: 1. Calculate the costs transferred out of each department. 2. Prepare journal entries that reflect these cost transfers.
Activity-based product costing Sweet Sugar Company manufactures three products (white sugar, brown sugar, and powdered sugar) in a continuous production process. Senior management has asked the controller to conduct an activity-based costing study. The controller identified the amount of factory overhead required by the critical activities of the organization as follows: The activity bases identified for each activity are as follows: The activity-base usage quantities and units produced for the three products were determined from corporate records and are as follows: Each product requires 0.5 machine hour per unit. Instructions Determine the activity rate for each activity. Determine the total and per-unit activity cost for all three products. Round to nearest cent. Why arent the activity unit costs equal across all three products since they require the same machine time per unit?
Basic Cost Flows Hardy Company produces 18-ounce boxes of a rolled oat cereal in three departments: mixing, cooking, and packaging. During September, Hardy produced 200,000 boxes with the following costs: Required: 1. Calculate the costs transferred out of each department. 2. Prepare journal entries that reflect these cost transfers.
Multiple production department factory overhead rates The total factory overhead for Bardot Marine Company is budgeted for the year at 600,000 divided into two departments: Fabrication, 420,000, and Assembly, 180,000. Bardot Marine manufactures two types of boats: speedboats and bass boats. The speedboats require 8 direct labor hours in Fabrication and 4 direct labor hours in Assembly.
