Chapter 6, Problem 6SP
(This serial problem began in Chapter 1 and continues through most of the book. If previous chapter segments ware not completed, the serial problem can begin on this point it is helpful, but not necessary, to use the Working Papers that accompany the book. )
Santana Rey expects sales of her line of computer workstation furniture to equal 300 workstations (at a sales price of $3,000) for 2016. The workstations’
| Direct materials……………………………….. | $800 per unit |
| Direct labor……………………………………… | $ 400 per unit |
| Variable overhead……………………………. | $100 per unit |
| Fixed overhead……………………………….. | $24,000 per year |
The selling expenses related to these workstations follow.
| Variable selling expense……………………… | $50 per unit |
| Fixed selling expense…………………………... | $4,000 per year |
Santana is considering how many workstations to produce in 2016. She is confident that she will be able to sell any workstation in her 2016 ending inventory during 2017. However, Santana does not want to overproduce as she does not have sufficient storage space for many more workstations.
Required
- Compute Business Solutions’ absorption costing income assuming
- 300 workstations are produced.
- 329 workstations are produced.
- Compute Business Solutions’s variable costing income assuming
- 300 workstations are produced.
- 320 workstations are produced.
- Explain to Santana any difference in the income figures determined in parts 1 and 2. How should Santana use the information from parts 1 and 2 help make production decisions?

- Your manufacturing company is interested in developing a cost model to price a AM part that will be manufactured for production. Based on data that they have collected: Machine and ancillary equipment cost : $1,000,000 Equipment depreciation cost per year: $130,000 Machine Maintenance cost per year: $50,000 Machine operator cost per hour : $40/hr Set up and prep time for each build : 30 min Post processing time per build: 1 hr Material Cost per Kg: $275/kg Amount of material needed per part: 100mgs/part They estimate the following: a. Number of parts made per year: 60,000 b. Each build can build 200 parts simultaneously on a single platform c. Build time for each platform of 200 parts: 25 hrs d.
