During May, Jeff and Arabella Oliver machined and assembled Job 557. Jeff worked a total of 10 hours on the job, while Arabella worked 4 hours on the job. Jeff is paid a $25 per hour wage rate, while Arabella is paid $28 per hour because of her additional experience level. Direct materials requisitioned for Job 557 totaled $1,250. The following additional information was collected on Job 557: the job required 2 machine setups, 6 machine hours, and 3 quality control tests.

- Use ABC to allocate manufacturing overhead (Learning Objective 2)Several years after reengineering its production process, King Corporation hired a new controller, Christine Erickson . She developed an ABC system very similar to the one used by King's chief rival. Part of the reason Erickson developed the ABC system was because King's profits had been declining, even though the company had shifted its product mix toward the product that had appeared most profitable under the old system . Before adopting the new ABC system, the company had used a plantwide overhead rate, based on direct labor hours developed years ago .For the upcoming year, King's budgeted ABC manufacturing overhead allocation rates are as follows :ActivityMaterials handling .......................... Machine setup ................................ Insertion of parts ............................

For each new design, Bordner faces a 90 percent learning rate. On average, the first unit of a new design takes 600 hours. Direct labor is paid 25 per hour. Required: 1. Set up a table with columns showing: the cumulative number of units, cumulative average time per unit in hours, and cumulative total time in hours. Show 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.) 2. What is the total labor cost if Bordner makes the following number of units: one, four, sixteen? What is the average cost per system for the following number of systems: one, four, or sixteen? (Round your answers to the nearest dollar.) 3. Using the logarithmic function, set up a table with columns showing: the cumulative number of units, cumulative average time per unit in hours, cumulative total time in hours, and the time for the last unit. Show results by row for each of units one through eight.

- Cost Identification Following is a list of cost terms described in the chapter as well as a list of brief descriptive settings for each item. Cost terms: a. Opportunity cost b. Period cost c. Product cost d. Direct labor cost e. Selling cost f. Conversion cost g. Prime cost h. Direct materials cost i. Manufacturing overhead cost j. Administrative cost Settings: 1. Marcus Armstrong, manager of Timmins Optical, estimated that the cost of plastic, wages of the technician producing the lenses, and overhead totaled 30 per pair of single-vision lenses. 2. Linda was having a hard time deciding whether to return to school. She was concerned about the salary she would have to give up for the next 4 years. 3. Randy Harris is the finished goods warehouse manager for a medium-sized manufacturing firm. He is paid a salary of 90,000 per year. As he studied the financial statements prepared by the local certified public accounting firm, he wondered how his salary was treated. 4. Jamie Young is in charge of the legal department at company headquarters. Her salary is 95,000 per year. She reports to the chief executive officer. 5. All factory costs that are not classified as direct materials or direct labor. 6. The new product required machining, assembly, and painting. The design engineer asked the accounting department to estimate the labor cost of each of the three operations. The engineer supplied the estimated labor hours for each operation. 7. After obtaining the estimate of direct labor cost, the design engineer estimated the cost of the materials that would be used for the new product. 8. The design engineer totaled the costs of materials and direct labor for the new product. 9. The design engineer also estimated the cost of converting the raw materials into their final form. 10. The auditor for a soft drink bottling plant pointed out that the depreciation on the delivery trucks had been incorrectly assigned to product cost (through overhead). Accordingly, the depreciation charge was reallocated on the income statement. Required: Match the cost terms with the settings. More than one cost classification may be associated with each setting; however, select the setting that seems to fit the item best. When you are done, each cost term will be used just once.arrow_forwardLEARNING UNIT 1 REVISION EXERCISE 2 Rainbow Ltd produces two products known as Bubbles and Candy.
