Chapter 7, Problem 16P
Determine the total estimated cost at completion and estimated cost to complete for the project in Problem 14, assuming the CPI remains the same through the remainder of the job.
The ACWP at the end of the second week for the project in Problem 12 is $37,900. Determine the CPI for the project.
A project consists of three tasks. Task A is scheduled to begin at the start of Week 1 and finish at the end of Week 3. Task B is scheduled to begin at the start of Week 1 and finish at the end of Week 2. Task C is scheduled to begin at the start of Week 2 and end at the end of Week 3. The budgeted cost for Task A is $22,000, for Task B is $17,000, and for Task C is $15,000. At the end of the second week, Task A is 65% complete, Task B is 95% complete, and Task C is 60% complete. What is the SPI for the project at the end of the second week?

- Naranjo Company designs industrial prototypes for outside companies. Budgeted overhead for the year was 260,000, and budgeted direct labor hours were 20,000. The average wage rate for direct labor is expected to be 25 per hour. During June, Naranjo Company worked on four jobs. Data relating to these four jobs follow: Overhead is assigned as a percentage of direct labor cost. During June, Jobs 39 and 40 were completed; Job 39 was sold at 130 percent of cost. (Naranjo had originally developed Job 40 to order for a customer; however, that customer was near bankruptcy and the chance of Naranjo being paid was growing dimmer. Naranjo decided to hold Job 40 in inventory while the customer worked out its financial difficulties. Job 40 is the only job in Finished Goods Inventory.) Jobs 41 and 42 remain unfinished at the end of the month. Required: 1. Calculate the balance in Work in Process as of June 30. 2. Calculate the balance in Finished Goods as of June 30. 3. Calculate the cost of goods sold for June. 4. Calculate the price charged for Job 39. 5. What if the customer for Job 40 was able to pay for the job by June 30? What would happen to the balance in Finished Goods? What would happen to the balance of Cost of Goods Sold?arrow_forwardAdam Corporation manufactures computer tables and has the following budgeted indirect manufacturing cost information for the next year: If Adam uses the step-down (sequential) method, beginning with the Maintenance Department, to allocate support department costs to production departments, the total overhead (rounded to the nearest dollar) for the Machining Department to allocate to its products would be: a. 407,500. b. 422,750. c. 442,053. d. 445,000.arrow_forwardDouglas Davis, controller for Marston, Inc., prepared the following budget for manufacturing costs at two different levels of activity for 20X1: During 20X1, Marston worked a total of 80,000 direct labor hours, used 250,000 machine hours, made 32,000 moves, and performed 120 batch inspections. The following actual costs were incurred: Marston applies overhead using rates based on direct labor hours, machine hours, number of moves, and number of batches. The second level of activity (the right column in the preceding table) is the practical level of activity (the available activity for resources acquired in advance of usage) and is used to compute predetermined overhead pool rates. Required: 1. Prepare a performance report for Marstons manufacturing costs in the current year. 2. Assume that one of the products produced by Marston is budgeted to use 10,000 direct labor hours, 15,000 machine hours, and 500 moves and will be produced in five batches. A total of 10,000 units will be produced during the year. Calculate the budgeted unit manufacturing cost. 3. One of Marstons managers said the following: Budgeting at the activity level makes a lot of sense. It really helps us manage costs better. But the previous budget really needs to provide more detailed information. For example, I know that the moving materials activity involves the use of forklifts and operators, and this information is lost when only the total cost of the activity for various levels of output is reported. We have four forklifts, each capable of providing 10,000 moves per year. We lease these forklifts for five years, at 10,000 per year. Furthermore, for our two shifts, we need up to eight operators if we run all four forklifts. Each operator is paid a salary of 30,000 per year. Also, I know that fuel costs about 0.25 per move. Assuming that these are the only three items, expand the detail of the flexible budget for moving materials to reveal the cost of these three resource items for 20,000 moves and 40,000 moves, respectively. Based on these comments, explain how this additional information can help Marston better manage its costs. (Especially consider how activity-based budgeting may provide useful information for non-value-added activities.)arrow_forward
