LearnCo manufactures and sells one product, an abacus for classroom use, with two models, the Basic model and the Deluxe model. The company began operations on January 1, 20Y1, and is planning for 20Y2, its second year of operations, by preparing budgets from its master budget.
The company is trying to decide how many units to manufacture, how much it might spend on direct materials and direct labor, and what their factory overhead expenses might be. In addition, the company is interested in budgeting for selling and administrative costs, and in creating a budgeted income statement showing a prediction of net income for 20Y2.
You have been asked to assist the controller of LearnCo in preparing the 20Y2 budgets.
The sales budget often uses the prior year’s sales as a starting point, and then sales quantities are revised for various factors such as planned advertising and promotion, projected pricing changes, and expected industry and general economic conditions. LearnCo has…
Your company has received an order for 20 units of aproduct. Th e labor cost to produce the item is $9.50 per hour. Th esetup cost for the item is $60 and material costs are $25 per unit. Th e item is sold for $92. Th e learning rate is 80 percent. Overheadis assessed at a rate of 55 percent of unit labor cost.(a) Determine the average unit cost for the 20 units if the fi rstunit takes four hours.(b) Determine the minimum number of units that need to bemade before the selling price meets or exceeds the averageunit cost.
Sharon Glessing, controller for Janson Company, has noticed that the company faces a 80 percent learning rate for its specialty design line. In planning the cost of the latest design, Sharon assumed that the first set of units would take 1,100 direct labor hours. She decided to use this information in budgeting for the cost of the total project, which would involve the manufacture of 16 sets. Direct labor is paid $40 per hour.
1. Complete the table below showing results by row for total production of: one unit, two units, four units, eight units, and sixteen units. (Round hour answers to two significant digits.) (Round Cumulative Total Time answers to the nearest whole number.)
2. What is the total labor cost if Janson Company makes eight sets? Sixteen sets? (Use the rounded answers in the subsequent computations).

- Refer to Cornerstone Exercise 8.2 for the production budgets for practice balls and match balls. Every practice ball requires 0.7 square yard of polyvinyl chloride panels, one bladder with valve (to fill with air), and 3 ounces of glue. FlashKicks policy is that 20 percent of the following months production needs for raw materials be in ending inventory. Beginning inventory in January for all raw materials met this requirement. Required: 1. Construct a direct materials purchases budget for each type of raw materials for the practice ball line for January and February of the coming year. 2. What if FlashKick decreased the ending inventory percentage to 15 percent of the next months production needs? What impact would that have on the direct materials purchases budgets prepared in Requirement 1? Refer to Cornerstone Exercise 8.1, through Requirement 1.
