Southward Company has implemented a JIT flexible manufacturing system. John Richins, controller of the company, has decided to reduce the accounting requirements given the expectation of lower inventories. For one thing, he has decided to treat direct labor cost as a part of overhead and to discontinue the detailed direct labor accounting of the past. The company has created two manufacturing cells, each capable of producing a family of products: the radiator cell and the water pump cell. The output of both cells is sold to a sister division and to customers who use the radiators and water pumps for repair activity. Product-level overhead costs outside the cells are assigned to each cell using appropriate drivers. Facility-level costs are allocated to each cell on the basis of square footage. The budgeted direct labor and overhead costs are as follows: The predetermined conversion cost rate is based on available production hours in each cell. The radiator cell has 45,000 hours available for production, and the water pump cell has 27,000 hours. Conversion costs are applied to the units produced by multiplying the conversion rate by the actual time required to produce the units. The radiator cell produced 81,000 units, taking 0.5 hour to produce one unit of product (on average). The water pump cell produced 90,000 units, taking 0.25 hour to produce one unit of product (on average). Other actual results for the year are as follows: All units produced were sold. Any conversion cost variance is closed to Cost of Goods Sold. Required: 1. Calculate the predetermined conversion cost rates for each cell. 2. Prepare journal entries using backflush accounting. Assume two trigger points, with completion of goods as the second trigger point. 3. Repeat Requirement 2, assuming that the second trigger point is the sale of the goods. 4. Explain why there is no need to have a work-in-process inventory account. 5. Two variants of backflush costing were presented in which each used two trigger points, with the second trigger point differing. Suppose that the only trigger point for recognizing manufacturing costs occurs when the goods are sold. How would the entries be listed here? When would this backflush variant be considered appropriate?
Oat Treats manufactures various types of cereal bars featuring oats. Simmons Cereal Company has approached Oat Treats with a proposal to sell the company its top selling oat cereal bar at a price of $27,500 for 20,000 bars. The costs shown are associated with production of 20,000 oat bars currently. The manufacturing overhead consists of $3,000 of variable costs with the balance being allocated to fixed costs. Should Oat Treats make or buy the oat bars?
Jim Salters, the COO of CryoDerm, has asked his cost management team for a product-line profitability analysis for his firm’s two products, Zderm and Bderm. The two skincare products require a large amount of research and development and advertising. After receiving the following statement fromCryoDerm’s costing team, Jim concludes that Zderm is the more profitable product and that perhaps cost-cutting measures should be applied to Bderm. Zderm Bderm Total Sales $3,000,000 $2,000,000 $5,000,000 Cost of Goods Sold ($1,900,000) ($1,600,000) ($3,500,000) Gross Profit $1,100,000 $ 400,000 $1,500,000 R&D (900,000) Selling expenses (100,000) Profit before taxes $ 500,000 Required:(i) Briefly explain why Jim may be wrong in his assessment of the relative performance of the twoproducts. (ii) Suppose that 80% of the R&D and selling expenses are traceable to Zderm. Prepare life-cycle income statements for each product. What does this indicate…
Ledfords is a chain of home improvement stores. Suppose Ledfords is trying to decide whether to produce its own line of Formica countertops, cabinets, and picnic tables. Assume Ledford would incur the following unit costs in producing its own product lines: Rather than making these products, assume that Ledfords could buy them from outside suppliers. Suppliers would charge Ledfords $40 per countertop, $25 per cabinet, and $65 per picnic table. Whether Ledfords makes or buys these products, assume that the company expects the following annual sales: • Countertops—487,200 at $130 each • Cabinets—150,000 at $75 each • Picnic tables—100,000 at $225 each Assume that Ledfords has a production facility with excess capacity that could be used to produce these products with no additional fixed costs. If making is sufficiently more profitable than outsourcing, Ledfords will start production of the new line of products. The president of Ledfords has asked your consulting group for a…
Looking for the break-even point from the information provided. The Smiths need to develop an analysis of their breakeven point for the plastic display case based on sales of the product directly to the consumer as well as through retailers. If the product were sold to retailers, the price would have to provide retailers with an adequate markup. Exhibit C7.4 presents the expected cost structure for the Unique Display Cases display case developed by their accountant. Based on competitive prices, the Smiths expected to offer their product in direct to consumer sales for $24.99 plus $2.99 for shipping and handling. The price to retailers would have to be negotiated but would be 30–40% less to allow an adequate markup for the retail firms. The production cost of $7.50 was based on a production run of 5000 units in one color. At 10,000 or more units, production cost would drop to $5.75 per unit. The company that would produce the plastic unit had production capacity of 25,000 units a year.…

Consider the following situation. Tricon Piping Systems manufactures small diameter potable polyethylene water pipe and achieves distribution primarily through plumbing wholesalers. The firm also sells directly to large construction companies, often creating friction with the plumbing wholesalers. Because there are several manufacturers who produce to the same specifications, price competition is often intense. The salesperson for Tricon recently offered a price concession to capture an order. Here are the specifics. The salesperson bid a job at $14,275 (list price). Tricon endeavors to sell at list price, and enjoys a 42% gross margin on the pipe in question at list price. In order to gain the "business" and to secure her commission, the salesperson offered the customer a 14% price discount. Calculate the percent change (+/-) in gross margin. Report your answer as a percentage and round to the nearest percent.
