- Corazon Manufacturing Company has a purchasing department staffed by five purchasing agents. Each agent is paid 28,000 per year and is able to process 4,000 purchase orders. Last year, 17,800 purchase orders were processed by the five agents. Required: 1. Calculate the activity rate per purchase order. 2. Calculate, in terms of purchase orders, the: a. total activity availability b. unused capacity 3. Calculate the dollar cost of: a. total activity availability b. unused capacity 4. Express total activity availability in terms of activity capacity used and unused capacity. 5. What if one of the purchasing agents agreed to work half time for 14,000? How many purchase orders could be processed by four and a half purchasing agents? What would unused capacity be in purchase orders?arrow_forwardUse the following information for Exercises 8-47 and 8-48: Billings Company produces two products, Product Reno and Product Tahoe. Each product goes through its own assembly and finishing departments. However, both of them must go through the painting department. The painting department has capacity of 2,460 hours per year. Product Reno has a unit contribution margin of 120 and requires 5 hours of painting department time. Product Tahoe has a unit contribution margin of 75 and requires 3 hours of painting department time. There are no other constraints. 8-47 Choosing the Optimal Product Mix with One Constrained Resource Refer to the information for Billings Company above. Required: 1. What is the contribution margin per hour of painting department time for each product? 2. What is the optimal mix of products? 3. What is the total contribution margin earned for the optimal mix?arrow_forwardJacson Company produces two brands of a popular pain medication: regular strength and extra strength. Regular strength is produced in tablet form, and extra strength is produced in capsule form. All direct materials needed for each batch are requisitioned at the start. The work orders for two batches of the products are shown below, along with some associated cost information: In the Mixing Department, conversion costs are applied on the basis of direct labor hours. Budgeted conversion costs for the department for the year were 60,000 for direct labor and 190,000 for overhead. Budgeted direct labor hours were 5,000. It takes one minute of labor time to mix the ingredients needed for a 100-unit bottle (for either product). In the Bottling Department, conversion costs are applied on the basis of machine hours. Budgeted conversion costs for the department for the year were 400,000. Budgeted machine hours were 20,000. It takes one-half minute of machine time to fill a bottle of 100 units. Required: 1. What are the conversion costs applied in the Mixing Department for each batch? The Bottling Department? 2. Calculate the cost per bottle for the regular and extra strength pain medications. 3. Prepare the journal entries that record the costs of the 12,000 regular strength batch as it moves through the various operations. 4. Suppose that the direct materials are requisitioned by each department as needed for a batch. For the 12,000 regular strength batch, direct materials are requisitioned for the Mixing and Bottling departments. Assume that the amount of cost is split evenly between the two departments. How will this change the journal entries made in Requirement 3?arrow_forward
- 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: 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 moves 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 move 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?arrow_forwardKaune Food Products Company manufactures canned mixed nuts with an average manufacturing cost of 52 per case (a case contains 24 cans of nuts). Kaune sold 150,000 cases last year to the following three classes of customer: The supermarkets require special labeling on each can costing 0.04 per can. They order through electronic data interchange (EDI), which costs Kaune about 61,000 annually in operating expenses and depreciation. Kaune delivers the nuts to the stores and stocks them on the shelves. This distribution costs 45,000 per year. The small grocers order in smaller lots that require special picking and packing in the factory; the special handling adds 25 to the cost of each case sold. Sales commissions to the independent jobbers who sell Kaune products to the grocers average 8 percent of sales. Bad debts expense amounts to 9 percent of sales. Convenience stores also require special handling that costs 30 per case. In addition, Kaune is required to co-pay advertising costs with the convenience stores at a cost of 15,000 per year. Frequent stops are made to each convenience store by Kaune delivery trucks at a cost of 30,000 per year. Required: 1. Calculate the total cost per case for each of the three customer classes. (Round unit costs to four significant digits.) 2. Using the costs from Requirement 1, calculate the profit per case per customer class. Does the cost analysis support the charging of different prices? Why or why not? 3. What if Kaune charged the average price per case to all customer classes? How would that affect the profit percentages?arrow_forwardKrouse Company produces two products, forged putter heads and laminated putter heads, which are sold through specialty golf shops. The company is in the process of developing itsoperating budget for the coming year. Selected data regarding the companys two products areas follows: Manufacturing overhead is applied to units using direct labor hours. Variable manufacturing overhead Ls projected to be 25,000, and fixed manufacturing overhead is expected to be15,000. The estimated cost to produce one unit of the laminated putter head is: a. 42. b. 46. c. 52. d. 62.arrow_forward
- Charlies Wood Works produces wood products (e.g., cabinets, tables, picture frames, and so on). Production departments include Cutting and Assembly. The Janitorial and Security departments support the Cutting and Assembly departments. The Assembly Department spans about 46,400 square feet and holds assets valued at about 60,000. The Cutting Department spans about 33,600 square feet and holds assets valued at about 140,000. Charlies Wood Works allocates support department costs using the direct method. If costs from the Janitorial Department are allocated based on square feet and costs from the Security Department are allocated based on asset value, determine (a) the percentage of Janitorial costs that should be allocated to the Assembly Department and (b) the percentage of Security costs that should be allocated to the Cutting Department.arrow_forwardAssume that at the beginning of 20x2, Cicleta trained the 2 assembly workers in a new approach that had the objective of increasing the efficiency of the assembly process. Cicleta also began moving toward a JIT purchasing and manufacturing system. When JIT is fully implemented, the demand for expediting is expected to be virtually eliminated. It is expected to take two to three years for full implementation. Assume that receiving cost is a step-fixed cost with steps of 1,500 orders. The other three activities employ resources that are acquired as used and needed. At the end of 20x2, the following results were reported for the four activities: Required: 1. Prepare a trend report that shows the non-value-added costs for each activity for 20x1 and 20x2 and the change in costs for the two periods. Discuss the reports implications. 2. Explain the role of activity reduction for receiving and for expediting. What is the expected value of SQ for each activity after JIT is fully implemented? 3. What if at the end of 20x2, the selling price of a competing product is reduced by 27 per unit? Assume that the firm produces and sells 20,000 units of its product and that its product is associated only with the four activities being considered. By virtue of the waste-reduction savings, can the competitors price reduction be matched without reducing the unit profit margin of the product that prevailed at the beginning of the year? If not, how much more waste reduction is needed to achieve this outcome? In this case, what price decision would you recommend?arrow_forwardCarsen Company produces handcrafted pottery that uses two inputs: materials and labor. During the past quarter, 24,000 units were produced, requiring 96,000 pounds of materials and 48,000 hours of labor. An engineering efficiency study commissioned by the local university revealed that Carsen can produce the same 24,000 units of output using either of the following two combinations of inputs: The cost of materials is 8 per pound; the cost of labor is 12 per hour. Required: 1. Compute the output-input ratio for each input of Combination F1. Does this represent a productivity improvement over the current use of inputs? What is the total dollar value of the improvement? Classify this as a technical or an allocative efficiency improvement. 2. Compute the output-input ratio for each input of Combination F2. Does this represent a productivity improvement over the current use of inputs? Now, compare these ratios to those of Combination F1. What has happened? 3. Compute the cost of producing 24,000 units of output using Combination F1. Compare this cost to the cost using Combination F2. Does moving from Combination F1 to Combination F2 represent a productivity improvement? Explain.arrow_forward
- Olin Company manufactures and distributes carpentry tools. Production of the tools is in the mature portion of the product life cycle. Olin has a sales force of 20. Salespeople are paid a commission of 7 percent of sales, plus expenses of 35 per day for days spent on the road away from home, plus 0.50 per mile. They deliver products in addition to making the sales, and each salesperson is required to own a truck suitable for making deliveries. For the coming quarter, Olin estimates the following: On average, a salesperson travels 6,000 miles per quarter and spends 38 days on the road. The fixed marketing and administrative expenses total 400,000 per quarter. Required: 1. Prepare an income statement for Olin Company for the next quarter. 2. Suppose that a large hardware chain, MegaHardware, Inc., wants Olin Company to produce its new SuperTool line. This would require Olin Company to sell 80 percent of total output to the chain. The tools will be imprinted with the SuperTool brand, requiring Olin to purchase new equipment, use somewhat different materials, and reconfigure the production line. Olins industrial engineers estimate that cost of goods sold for the SuperTool line would increase by 15 percent. No sales commission would be incurred, and MegaHardware would link Olin to its EDI system. This would require an annual cost of 100,000 on the part of Olin. MegaHardware would pay shipping. As a result, the sales force would shrink by 80 percent. Should Olin accept MegaHardwares offer? Support your answer with appropriate calculations.arrow_forwardThe Calhoun Textile Mill is in the process of deciding on a production schedule. It wishes to know how to weave the various fabrics it will produce during the coming quarter. The sales department has continued orders for each of the 15 fabrics produced by Calhoun. These demands are given in the following table. Also given in this table is the variable cost for each fabric. The mill operates continuously during the quarter: 13 weeks, 7 days a week, and 24 hours a day. There are two types of looms: dobbie and regular. Dobbie looms can be used to make all fabrics and are the only looms that can weave certain fabrics, such as plaids. The rate of production for each fabric on each type of loom is also given in the table. Note that if the production rate is zero, the fabric cannot be woven on that type of loom. Also, if a fabric can be woven on each type of loom, then the production rates are equal. Calhoun has 90 regular looms and 15 dobbie looms. For this problem, assume that the time requirement to change over a loom from one fabric to another is negligible. Management would like to know how to allocate the looms to the fabrics and which fabrics to buy on the market so as to minimize the cost of meeting demand.arrow_forwardVollmer Manufacturing makes three components for sale to refrigeration companies. The components are processed on two machines: a shaper and a grinder. The times (in minutes) required on each machine are as follows: The shaper is available for 120 hours, and the grinder for 110 hours. No more than 200 units of component 3 can be sold, but up to 1,000 units of each of the other components can be sold. In fact, the company already has orders for 600 units of component 1 that must be satisfied. The profit contributions for components 1, 2, and 3 are 8, 6, and 9, respectively. a. Formulate and solve for the recommended production quantities. b. What are the objective coefficient ranges for the three components? Interpret these ranges for company management. c. What are the right-hand-side ranges? Interpret these ranges for company management. d. If more time could be made available on the grinder, how much would it be worth? e. If more units of component 3 can be sold by reducing the sales price by 4, should the company reduce the price?arrow_forward
