Hi-Tek Manufacturing, Inc., makes two types of industrial component parts—the B300 and the T500. An absorption costing income statement for the most recent period is shown:

Hi-Tek Manufacturing Inc.
Income Statement
Sales $ 1,706,000
Cost of goods sold 1,267,012
Gross margin 438,988
Selling and administrative expenses 560,000
Net operating loss $ (121,012

)

Hi-Tek produced and sold 60,300 units of B300 at a price of $20 per unit and 12,500 units of T500 at a price of $40 per unit. The company’s traditional cost system allocates manufacturing overhead to products using a plantwide overhead rate and direct labor dollars as the allocation base. Additional information relating to the company’s two product lines is shown below:

B300 T500 Total
Direct materials $ 400,400 $ 162,500 $ 562,900
Direct labor $ 120,700 $ 42,600 163,300
Manufacturing overhead 540,812
Cost of goods sold $ 1,267,012

The company has created an activity-based costing system to evaluate the profitability of its products. Hi-Tek’s ABC implementation team concluded that $53,000 and $101,000 of the company’s advertising expenses could be directly traced to B300 and T500, respectively. The remainder of the selling and administrative expenses was organization-sustaining in nature. The ABC team also distributed the company’s manufacturing overhead to four activities as shown below:

Product-sustaining (number of products) 101,400 1 1 2
Other (organization-sustaining costs) 60,700 NA NA NA
Total manufacturing overhead cost $ 540,812

Required:

1. Compute the product margins for the B300 and T500 under the company’s traditional costing system.

2. Compute the product margins for B300 and T500 under the activity-based costing system.

Fastraq Inc. is in the business of design and manufacture of bike chains for both professional and amateur cyclists. Two new titanium chain sets were introduced during the year – the Smooth and Extreme. They are currently selling for $110 and $155 respectively. The following data summarise the cost structure for the two chain sets:

The company adopts an absorption costing system. Overhead is applied to the two products based on direct labour hours using a flexible budget to calculate the overhead rate prior the commencement of the financial year.

Fastraq budgeted (and produced) 43,000 Smooth and 55,000 Extreme chain sets. Fixed manufacturing overhead was budgeted at $1,650,000 and variable manufacturing overhead was estimated to be $1.75 per direct labour hour. Actual overhead incurred for the year amounted to $2,100,000. Any over- or under-absorbed overhead is written off to cost of goods sold.

(e) Calculate how much of manufacturing overhead will be charged to the income statement if in the following year, Fastraq incurs total manufacturing overhead of $2,300,000 and sells off all of the brought forward inventory from the current year, under (i) absorption costing and (ii) variable costing.

The city of Belle collects property taxes for other local governments—Beau County and the Landis Independent School District (LISD). The city uses a Property Tax Collection Custodial Fund to account for its collection of property taxes for itself, Beau County, and LISD. Prepare journal entries to record the following transactions and events for Belle’s Custodial Fund during calendar year 2019.

1. During 2019, property taxes were levied for Belle ($2,000,000), Beau County ($1,000,000) and LISD ($3,000,000). Assume taxes collected by the Custodial Fund will be paid to Belle’s General Fund.

2. Property taxes in the amount of $4,500,000 are collected. The percentage collected for each entity is in the same proportion as the original levy.

3. The amount owed to the city of Belle, Beau County, and LISD is recognized. The city of Belle charges an administrative fee to Beau County ($20,000) and LISD ($60,000) to collect the taxes, which reduces the amount owed to Beau County and LISD.

4. The Custodial Fund distributes the amount owed to the three governments.

On January 1, 2017, Corgan Company acquired 70 percent of the outstanding voting stock of Smashing, Inc., for a total of $1,015,000 in cash and other consideration. At the acquisition date, Smashing had common stock of $800,000, retained earnings of $350,000, and a noncontrolling interest fair value of $435,000. Corgan attributed the excess of fair value over Smashing's book value to various covenants with a 20-year remaining life. Corgan uses the equity method to account for its investment in Smashing.

During the next two years, Smashing reported the following:

Net Income Dividends Declared Inventory Purchases from Corgan
2017 $ 250,000 $ 45,000 $ 200,000
2018 230,000 55,000 220,000

Corgan sells inventory to Smashing using a 60 percent markup on cost. At the end of 2017 and 2018, 30 percent of the current year purchases remain in Smashing's inventory.

Troy Engines, Ltd., manufactures a variety of engines for use in heavy equipment. The company has always produced all of the necessary parts for its engines, including all of the carburetors. An outside supplier has offered to sell one type of carburetor to Troy Engines, Ltd., for a cost of $32 per unit. To evaluate this offer, Troy Engines, Ltd., has gathered the following information relating to its own cost of producing the carburetor internally:

Per Unit 17,000 Units
Per Year
Direct materials $ 14 $ 238,000
Direct labor 8 136,000
Variable manufacturing overhead 3 51,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead, traceable 3 * 51,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead, allocated 6 102,000
Total cost $ 34 $ 578,000

*One-third supervisory salaries; two-thirds depreciation of special equipment (no resale value).

Required:

1. Assuming the company has no alternative use for the facilities that are now being used to produce the carburetors, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 17,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?

2. Should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted?

3. Suppose that if the carburetors were purchased, Troy Engines, Ltd., could use the freed capacity to launch a new product. The segment margin of the new product would be $170,000 per year. Given this new assumption, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 17,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?

4. Given the new assumption in requirement 3, should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted?

a) What would the major costs of your business be? Try to classify the costs into the areas of direct materials; direct labor; manufacturing overhead; and selling, general, and administrative expenses. (Hint: Not all businesses will have all of these cost classifications.)

b) Why would you need to determine the cost of providing your product or service to individual customers? In other words, what types of decisions would you expect to make based on job order cost information?

c) In general, would you expect your company’s indirect (overhead) costs to be less or more than the direct costs (direct labor and materials)? What allocation base do you think you would use to charge overhead costs to individual customers? How much do you think the overhead rate would need to be?
