For situations 1 trough 6, provide the following information:a. An estimate of the non-value-added cost caused by each activityb. The root caused of the activity cost (such as plant layout, process design, and product design)c. The appropriate cost reduction measure: activity elimination, activity reduction, activity sharing,or activity selection
1. It takes 1 hour and six pounds of material to produce a product using a traditional manufacturing process. A process reengineering study provided a new manufacturing process design (using existing technology) that would take 30 minutes and four pounds of material. The cost per labor hour is $12, and the cost per pound of material is $102. With its original design, a product requires 10 hours of setup time. Redesigning the product could replace the setup time to an absolute minimum of 30 minutes. The cost per hour of setup time is $250. 3. A product currently requires eight moves. By redesigning the manufacturing layout, the number of moves…

Compute the new throughput time and MCE.
3-b. Refer to the inspection time, process time, and so forth, given for month 4. Assume that in month 6 the inspection time, process time, and so forth, are the same as in month 4, except that the company is able to eliminate both the queue time during production and the inspection time using Lean Production.

- As a start-up / ‘new’ manufacturer, one of your tasks as the Operations Manager is to identify the behaviour of manufacturing costs to develop a production cost budget. You know three methods can be used to identify cost behaviour from past data, but past data are not available because this is a start-up. Identify and compare the three known methods of measuring cost behaviour.arrow_forwardActivity-Based Life-Cycle Costing Kagle design engineers are in the process of developing a new “green” product, one that will significantly reduce impact on the environment and yet still provide the desired customer functionality. Currently, two designs are being considered. The manager of Kagle has told the engineers that the cost for the new product cannot exceed $600 per unit (target cost). In the past, the Cost Accounting Department has given estimated costs using a unit-based system. At the request of the Engineering Department, Cost Accounting is providing both unit- and activity-based accounting information (made possible by a recent pilot study producing the activity-based data). Unit-based system:Variable conversion activity rate: $110 per direct labor hourMaterial usage rate: $15 per partABC system:Labor usage: $20 per direct labor hourMaterial usage (direct materials): $25 per partMachining: $80 per machine hourPurchasing activity: $150 per purchase orderSetup activity:…arrow_forwardUsing ABC product cost information when considering reducing cost, which of the following would not be a way to reduce activity costs? a.Improve operations so that the activity-base usage per unit is eliminated. b.Switch to a plantwide allocation rate. c.Improve operations so that the activity-base usage per unit is reduced. d.Change the classification of employees doing an activity to decrease the activity rate.arrow_forward

- please answer C1 and C2 Chocolate Bars, Inc. (CBI), manufactures creamy deluxe chocolate candy bars. The firm has developed three distinct products: Almond Dream, Krispy Krackle, and Creamy Crunch. CBI is profitable, but management is quite concerned about the profitability of each product and the product costing methods currently employed. In particular, management questions whether the overhead allocation base of direct labor-hours accurately reflects the costs incurred during the production process of each product. In reviewing cost reports with the marketing manager, Steve Hoffman, who is the cost accountant, notices that Creamy Crunch appears exceptionally profitable and that Almond Dream appears to be produced at a loss. This surprises both him and the manager, and after much discussion, they are convinced that the cost accounting system is at fault and that Almond Dream is performing very well at the current market price. Steve decides to hire Jean Sharpe, a management…arrow_forwardCost Classification Match each cost to the appropriate cost behavior pattern shown in graphs (a) through (l).

The luxury watches are famous for the high-end design materials while the sports watches are popular for their utilities. The company uses a traditional costing system in assigning overhead costs to the products on the basis of direct labour hours. However, the Production Manager seeks to replace the existing system with the Activity-based Costing (ABC) system to keep control over costs and offer more competitive pricing. After reviewing the existing costing system and interviewing the company’s personnel in relevant departments, the accountant compiled a report highlighting resources and costs involved in manufacturing watches per month: The following table lists out the overhead cost: Activity cost pool Overhead cost (£) Additional Notes Job-order set up 33,000 Procurement and placement 360,000 Installation of winding system 195,000 An…arrow_forward
- In a manufacturing company, overhead allocations are made for three reasons: (1) to determine the full cost of a product; (2) to encourage efficient resource usage; and (3) to compare alternative courses of action for management purposes. 1. Why must overhead be considered a product cost under generally accepted accounting principles? 2. Ayam Company makes plastic dog carriers. The manufacturing process is highly automated and the machine time needed to make any size crate is approximately the same. Ayam’s management decides to begin producing plastic lawn furniture and, to do so, two additional pieces of automated equipment are acquired. Annual depreciation on the new pieces of equipment is P38,000. Should the new overhead cost be allocated over all products manufactured by Ayam? Explain.arrow_forwardJoint Cost Allocation: Managerial Incentives Cameron Manufacturing produces auto parts forauto manufacturers and parts wholesalers. The business is very competitive, and productivity measuresare used throughout its eight manufacturing plants. Jill Owens, the manufacturing vice president,explains to her plant managers the importance of reducing cycle time, improving throughput, andreducing waste. One type of waste she keeps close track of is waste due to accidents and injuries onthe job. Jill believes that a safe workplace also contributes to productivity. A reduction in accidents andinjuries can also lead to a reduction in the insurance the firm pays to cover its liability in these incidents.The premium for this insurance coverage is a single policy and is a joint cost shared by all eight plants.One of the plant managers, Mike Griffin, notes that the current procedure for allocating the cost of insurance, which is based on total plant output, does not provide plant managers with the…arrow_forwardMatch the terms a through d with their correct definition 1 through 4. a.
