1. Jim Bowie owns a lot in Starr County and wants to build a house according to a certain set of plans and specifications. He solicits bids from three building contractors as follows: George Kimbell bids $ 175,000; Green Jameson bids $170,000; and, Davy Crockett bids $ 166,000. Bowie accepts Crockett’s bid and construction begins. A month into the work, Crockett advises Bowie that due to an unexpected rise in fuel and materials costs, he will need $ 15,000 more to complete the project. Bowie raises a fuss, but after discussing the situation with the out-bid contractors who indicate that they cannot finish the contract for less, he agrees. When the house is finished, he refuses to pay the extra money. Discuss whether Bowie is legally required to pay the additional amount.

Exercise 7-15 Manufacturing: Direct materials, direct labor, and overhead budgets LO P1
MCO Leather Goods manufactures leather purses. Each purse requires 3 pounds of direct materials at a cost of $4 per pound and 0.7 direct labor hours at a rate of $10 per hour. Variable manufacturing overhead is charged at a rate of $2 per direct labor hour. Fixed manufacturing overhead is $11,000 per month. The company’s policy is to end each month with direct materials inventory equal to 20% of the next month’s materials requirement. At the end of August the company had 4,580 pounds of direct materials in inventory. The company’s production budget reports the following.
| Production Budget | September | October | November | |||
| Units to be produced | 4,800 | 7,200 | 6,500 | |||
(1) Prepare direct materials budgets for September and
October.
(2) Prepare direct labor budgets for September and
October.
(3) Prepare factory overhead budgets for September
and October.
