Ottis, Inc., uses 640,000 plastic housing units each year in its production of paper shredders. The cost of placing an order is 30. The cost of holding one unit of inventory for one year is 15.00. Currently, Ottis places 160 orders of 4,000 plastic housing units per year. Required: 1. Compute the annual ordering cost. 2. Compute the annual carrying cost. 3. Compute the cost of Ottiss current inventory policy. Is this the minimum cost? Why or why not?
One of the tennis rackets that Ace Sporting Goods manufactures is a titanium model (Slam) that sells for 149. The cost of each Slam consists of: Job 100 produced 100 Slams, of which six were spoiled and classified as seconds. Seconds are sold to discount stores for 50 each. Required: 1. Under the assumption that the loss from spoilage will be distributed to all jobs produced during the current period, use general journal entries to (a) record the costs of production, (b) put spoiled goods into inventory, and (c) record the cash sale of spoiled units. 2. Under the assumption that the loss due to spoilage will be charged to Job 100, use general journal entries to (a) record the costs of production, (b) put spoiled goods into inventory, and (c) record the cash sale of spoiled units.
Pietro expects to produce 50,000 units and sell 49,300 units. Beginning inventory of finished goods is 42,500, and ending inventory of finished goods is expected to be 34,000. Required: 1. Prepare a statement of cost of goods sold in good form. 2. What if the beginning inventory of finished goods decreased by 5,000? What would be the effect on the cost of goods sold?
Denali Company manufactures household products such as windows, light fixtures, ladders, and work tables. During the year it produced 10,000 Model 10X windows but only sold 5,000 units at $40 each. The remaining units cannot be sold through normal channels. Cost for inventory purposes on December 31 included the following data on the unsold units: Denali can sell the 5,000 windows at a liquidation price of $20.00 per window, but it will incur a packaging and shipping charge of $7.50 per window. Required: Identify the relevant costs and revenues for the liquidation sale alternative. Is Denali better off accepting the liquidation price rather than doing nothing? Assume that Model 10X can be reprocessed to another size window, Model 20X, which will require the same amount of labor and overhead as was required to initially produce, but sells for only $33. Determine the most profitable course of action—liquidate or reprocess.
For each of the following independent situations, calculate the missing values: 1. The Belen plant purchased 78,300 of direct materials during June. Beginning direct materials inventory was 2,500, and direct materials used in production were 73,500. What is ending direct materials inventory? 2. Forster Company produced 14,000 units at an average cost of 5.90 each. The beginning inventory of finished goods was 3,422. (The average unit cost was 5.90.) Forster sold 14,120 units. How many units remain in ending finished goods inventory? 3. Beginning work in process (WIP) was 116,000, and ending WIP was 117,300. If total manufacturing costs were 349,000, what was the cost of goods manufactured? 4. If the conversion cost is 84 per unit, the prime cost is 55, and the manufacturing cost per unit is 105, what is the direct materials cost per unit? 5. Total manufacturing costs for August were 412,000. Prime cost was 64,000, and beginning WIP was 76,000. The cost of goods manufactured was 434,000. Calculate the cost of overhead for August and the cost of ending WIP.

Sterling Corporation has an EOQ of 5,000 units. The company uses an average of 500 units per day. An order to replenish the part requires a lead time of five days. Required: 1. Calculate the reorder point, using Equation 20.3. 2. Graphically display the reorder point, where the vertical axis is inventory (units) and the horizontal axis is time (days). Show two replenishments, beginning at time zero with the economic order quantity in inventory. 3. What if the average usage per day of the part is 500 units but a daily maximum usage of 575 units is possible? What is the reorder point when this demand uncertainty exists?

Rugged Outfitters purchases one model of mountain bike at a wholesale cost of $520 per unit and resells it to end consumers. The annual demand for the company’s product is 49,000 units. Ordering costs are $500 per order and carrying costs are $100 per bike per year, including $40 in the opportunity cost of holding inventory. Q. Assume that when evaluating the manager, the company excludes the opportunity cost of carrying inventory. If the manager makes the EOQ decision excluding the opportunity cost of carrying inventory, the relevant carrying cost would be $60, not $100. How would this affect the EOQ amount and the actual annual relevant cost of ordering and carrying inventory?
The F Inc.’s materials manager is considering the installation of a just-in-time (JIT) inventory system for L-20, one of the chemicals used in the production process. Currently, the chemical is purchased for $30 each pound. The firm uses 4,800 pounds L-20 per year. The controller estimates that it costs $150 to place and receive a typical order of L-20. The annual cost of storing L-20 is $1 per pound. F Inc.’s manufacturing engineering team identifies the following effects of adopting a JIT inventory system: 1) F Inc. will order 100 pounds L-20 each time. 2) The cost of placing an order for L-20 will be reduced to $20. 3) Suppliers would add $4 to the price per pound for frequent deliveries. 4) Currently there is a defect-assessment cost of $120,000 per year. This cost is expected a reduction of 20% under the JIT system. F Inc. requires a 10% annual rate of return on investment Required: From a financial perspective, determine whether it is in the best interest of F to…
