Chapter 9, Problem 9CE
Mangia Pizza Company makes frozen pizzas that are sold through grocery stores. Mangia developed the following standard mix for spreading on premade pizza shells to produce 16 giant-size sausage pizzas.
Mangia put a batch of 2,000 pounds of direct materials (enough for 800 frozen sausage pizzas) into process. Of the total, 700 pounds were tomato sauce, 840 pounds were cheese, and the remaining 460 pounds were sausage. The actual yield was 780 pizzas.
Required:
- 1. Calculate the standard mix (SM) in pounds for tomato sauce, for cheese, and for sausage.
- 2. Calculate the mix variance.
- 3. Calculate the actual proportion used of tomato sauce, cheese, and sausage. Use these results to explain the direction (favorable or unfavorable) of the mix variance.
- 4. What if of the total 2,000 pounds of ingredients put into process, 700 pounds were tomato sauce, 700 pounds were cheese, and 600 pounds were sausage? How would that affect the mix variance?

Mangia Pizza Company makes frozen pizzas that are sold through grocery stores. Mangia uses two types of direct labor: machine operators and packers. Mangia developed the following standard mix for spreading on premade pizza shells to produce 16 giant-size sausage pizzas. Mangias recent batch (designed to produce 400 pizzas) used 400 direct labor hours. Of the total, 160 were for machine operators, and the remaining 240 hours were for packers. The actual yield was 780 pizzas. Required: 1. Calculate the standard mix (SM) in hours for machine operators and for packers. 2. Calculate the mix variance. 3. Calculate the actual proportion of hours worked by machine operators and by packers. Use these results to explain the direction (favorable or unfavorable) of the mix variance. 4. What if of the total 400 direct labor hours worked, 200 were worked by each type of direct labor? How would that affect the mix variance?

Gordons Smoothie Stand makes three types of smoothies: blueberry lemon, orange swirl, and triple berry. Before all flavors are added, the smoothies go through a joint mixing process that costs a total of 43 per batch. One batch produces 21.75 cups of blueberry lemon smoothies, 29 cups of orange swirl smoothies, and 36.25 cups of triple berry smoothies. In addition, Gordon has studiously noted that the mixing process necessary for triple berry and blueberry lemon smoothies takes twice as long as it does for orange swirl smoothies. Allocate the joint costs of production to each product using the weighted average method.

Coronado's Bakery makes a variety of home-style cookies for upscale restaurants in the Atlanta metropolitan area. The company's best-selling cookie is the double chocolate almond supreme. Coronado's recipe requires 10 ounces of a commercial cookie mix, 5 ounces of milk chocolate, and 1 ounce of almonds per pound of cookies. The standard direct materials costs are $0.80 per pound of cookie mix, $4 per pound of milk chocolate, and $12 per pound of almonds. Each pound of cookies requires 1 minute of direct labor in the mixing department and 2 minutes of direct labor in the baking department. The standard labor rates in those departments are $17.60 per direct labor hour (DLH) and $28 per DLH, respectively. Variable overhead is applied at a rate of $34.20 per DLH; fixed overhead is applied at a rate of $60 per DLH.Calculate the standard cost for a pound of Coronado's double chocolate almond supreme cookies.

Atlas Foods produces three supplemental food products simultaneously through a refining process costing $93,000. The joint products, Alfa and Betters, have a final selling price of $4 per pound and $10 per pound, respectively, after additional processing costs of $2 per pound of each product are incurred after the split-off point. Morefeed, a by-product, is sold at the split- off point for $3 per pound. Additional information are as follows:
Alfa - 10,000 pounds of Alfa, a popular but relatively rare grain supplement of having a caloric value of 4,400 calories/pound.
Betters - 5,000 pounds of Betters, a flavouring material high in carbohydrates with a caloric value of 11,200 calories/pound.
Morefeed - 1,000 pounds of Morefeed, used as a cattle feed supplement with a caloric value of 1,000 calories/pound.

A variety of productschicken wings, drumsticks, thighs, and so on-are the result of a joint production process of butchering a chicken that costs $0.25 per pound. The wings can be sold at the splitoff point for 0.35 per pound, or they can be processed further by cooking them in barbecue sauces and selling them as buffalo wings for $ 0.46 per pound. The cooking process can accommodate 1,300 pounds of wings at a time and costs $90 for sauce, cooking time, and labor. Should the wings be processed further to make buffalo wings?

McKenzie’s Soap Sensations, Inc., produces hand soaps with three different scents: morning glory, snowflake sparkle, and sea breeze. The soap is produced through a joint production process that costs $30,000 per batch. Each batch produces 14,800 bottles of morning glory hand soap, 12,000 bottles of snowflake sparkle hand soap, and 10,000 bottles of sea breeze hand soap at the split-off point. Each product is processed further after the split-off point, but the market value of a bottle of any of the flavors at this point is estimated to be $1.25 per bottle. The additional processing costs of morning glory, snowflake sparkle, and sea breeze hand soap are $0.50, $0.55, and $0.60 per bottle, respectively. Morning glory, snowflake sparkle, and sea breeze hand soap are then sold for $2.00, $2.20, and $2.40 per bottle, respectively.Instructions1.
