- Cost Classification Loring Company incurred the following costs last year: Required: 1. Classify each of the costs using the following table format. Be sure to total the amounts in each column. Example: Direct materials, 216,000. 2. What was the total product cost for last year? 3. What was the total period cost for last year? 4. If 30,000 units were produced last year, what was the unit product cost?arrow_forwardStep Costs, Relevant Range Bellati Inc. produces large industrial machinery. Bellati has a machining department and a group of direct laborers called machinists. Each machinist can machine up to 500 units per year. Bellati also hires supervisors to develop machine specification plans and oversee production within the machining department. Given the planning and supervisory work, a supervisor can oversee, at most, three machinists. Bellatis accounting and production history shows the following relationships between number of units produced and the annual costs of supervision and materials handling (by machinists): Required: 1. Prepare a graph that illustrates the relationship between direct labor cost and number of units produced in the machining department. (Let cost of direct labor be the vertical axis and number of units be the horizontal axis.) Would you classify this cost as a strictly variable cost, a fixed cost, or a step cost? 2. Prepare a graph that illustrates the relationship between the cost of supervision and the number of units produced. (Let cost of supervision be the vertical axis and number of units be the horizontal axis.) Would you classify this cost as a strictly variable cost, a fixed cost, or a step cost? 3. Suppose that the normal range of production is between 1,400 and 1,500 units and that the exact number of machinists is currently hired to support this level of activity. Further suppose that production for the next year is expected to increase by an additional 500 units. What is the increase in the cost of direct labor? Cost of supervision?arrow_forwardHart Manufacturing makes three products. Each product requires manufacturing operations in three departments: A, B, and C. The labor-hour requirements, by department, are as follows: During the next production period the labor-hours available are 450 in department A, 350 in department B, and 50 in department C. The profit contributions per unit are 25 for product 1, 28 for product 2, and 30 for product 3. a. Formulate a linear programming model for maximizing total profit contribution. b. Solve the linear program formulated in part (a). How much of each product should be produced, and what is the projected total profit contribution? c. After evaluating the solution obtained in part (b), one of the production supervisors noted that production setup costs had not been taken into account. She noted that setup costs are 400 for product 1, 550 for product 2, and 600 for product 3. If the solution developed in part (b) is to be used, what is the total profit contribution after taking into account the setup costs? d. Management realized that the optimal product mix, taking setup costs into account, might be different from the one recommended in part (b). Formulate a mixed-integer linear program that takes setup costs provided in part (c) into account. Management also stated that we should not consider making more than 175 units of product 1, 150 units of product 2, or 140 units of product 3. e. Solve the mixed-integer linear program formulated in part (d). How much of each product should be produced and what is the projected total profit contribution? Compare this profit contribution to that obtained in part (c).arrow_forward
- Income Statements under Absorption and Variable Costing In the coming year, Kalling Company expects to sell 28,700 units at 32 each. Kallings controller provided the following information for the coming year: Required: 1. Calculate the cost of one unit of product under absorption costing. 2. Calculate the cost of one unit of product under variable costing. 3. Calculate operating income under absorption costing for next year. 4. Calculate operating income under variable costing for next year.arrow_forwardUsing High-Low to Calculate Predicted Total Variable Cost and Total Cost for a Time Period That Differs from the Data Period Refer to the information for Pizza Vesuvio on the previous page. Assume that this information was used to construct the following formula for monthly labor cost. TotalLaborCost=5,237+(7.40EmployeeHours) Required: Assume that 4,000 employee hours are budgeted for the coming year. Use the total labor cost formula to make the following calculations: 1. Calculate total variable labor cost for the year. 2. Calculate total fixed labor cost for the year. 3. Calculate total labor cost for the coming year. Use the following information for Brief Exercises 3-17 through 3-20: Pizza Vesuvio makes specialty pizzas. Data for the past 8 months were collected:arrow_forwardScattergraph, High-Low Method, and Predicting Cost for a Different Time Period from the One Used to Develop a Cost Formula Refer to the information for Farnsworth Company on the previous page. Required: 1. Prepare a scattergraph based on the 10 months of data. Does the relationship appear to be linear? 2. Using the high-low method, prepare a cost formula for the receiving activity. Using this formula, what is the predicted cost of receiving for a month in which 1,450 receiving orders are processed? 3. Prepare a cost formula for the receiving activity for a quarter. Based on this formula, what is the predicted cost of receiving for a quarter in which 4,650 receiving orders are anticipated? Prepare a cost formula for the receiving activity for a year. Based on this formula, what is the predicted cost of receiving for a year in which 18,000 receiving orders are anticipated? Use the following information for Problems 3-60 and 3-61: Farnsworth Company has gathered data on its overhead activities and associated costs for the past 10 months. Tracy Heppler, a member of the controllers department, has convinced management that overhead costs can be better estimated and controlled if the fixed and variable components of each overhead activity are known. One such activity is receiving raw materials (unloading incoming goods, counting goods, and inspecting goods), which she believes is driven by the number of receiving orders. Ten months of data have been gathered for the receiving activity and are as follows:arrow_forward
