In 2020, the actual variable manufacturing overhead is $280,000. RC's simple costing system allocates variable manufacturing overhead to its three customers based on machine hours and prices its contracts based on full costs. One of its customers has regularly complained of being charged noncompetitive prices, so RC's controller Matthew Draper realizes that it is time to examine the consumption of overhead resources more closely. He knows that there are three main departments that consume overhead resources: design, production, and engineering.

This will help determine proper product pricing and is important for control purposes. Using the data from January, the managers can determine the costs associated with material and labor. However, fixed indirect costs must still be determined. Management intends to use the prior year’s data to determine overhead costs. It is assumed that management will allocate an equal amount of estimated costs each month. Is this an appropriate decision by management? Should January be used as the reference point for the whole year?arrow_forwardRyan: Kaylin, this also sounds good to me. Go ahead and include the carrying cost in your computation. To help in the analysis, Kaylin gathered the following data for LLHC for 2011: Tons sold: 10 Average cartons per shipment: 2 Average shipments per ton: 7 1)After receiving the analysis of LLHC, Ryan decided to expand the analysis to all products. He also had Kaylin reevaluate the way in which mill overhead was assigned to products. After the restructuring was completed, Ryan took the following actions: (a) the prices of most low-volume products were increased, (b) the prices of several high-volume products were decreased, and (c) some low-volume products were dropped. Explain why his strategy changed so dramatically.arrow_forward
