Gitano Products operates a job-order costing system and applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of direct materials used in production (not on the basis of raw materials purchased). Its predetermined overhead rate was based on a cost formula that estimated $127,400 of manufacturing overhead for an estimated allocation base of $91,000 direct material dollars to be used in production. The company has provided the following data for the just completed year:

Purchase of raw materials $ 140,000
Direct labor cost $ 87,000
Manufacturing overhead costs:
Indirect labor $ 132,400
Property taxes $ 8,200
Depreciation of equipment $ 17,000
Maintenance $ 13,000
Insurance $ 10,400
Rent, building $ 38,000
Beginning Ending
Raw Materials $ 29,000 $ 15,000
Work in Process $ 48,000 $ 37,000
Finished Goods $ 69,000 $ 61,000

Required:

1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate for the year.

2. Compute the amount of underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year.

3. Prepare a schedule of cost of goods manufactured for the year. Assume all raw materials are used in production as direct materials.

4. Compute the unadjusted cost of goods sold for the year. Do not include any underapplied or overapplied overhead in your answer.

5. Assume that the $37,000 ending balance in Work in Process includes $8,000 of direct materials. Given this assumption, supply the information missing below:

1. Hockley Brewing has produced a new craft lager beer that will be branded Hockley Classic Lager. The market for craft beer is about $20 million retail per year and the average retail price across all craft beer producers is $2.50. The following information applies to Hockley’s new craft lager beer.

Factory production costs                                                $1.05 / can

Beer ingredients                                                            $0.35 / can

Packaging                                                                     $0.20 / can

Advertising and promotion                                            $60,000

Channel listing fees                                                       $30,000

Hockley’s wholesale price to retailers                             $2.40 / can

(Hockley’s) manufacturer’s suggested retail price           $2.55 / can

a. What is Hockley’s unit contribution (measured in $ per can) and contribution margin (measured in percentage)?

b. What is the break-even point in cans? in dollars?

c. What is the necessary sales volume in cans to achieve a $150,000 (target) profit?

d. What will Hockley’s net profit be if 100,000 cans of the new lager are sold?

e. What will Hockley’s market share of craft beer be if they sell 100,000 cans? [Hint: to calculate the total number of cans sold in the market, use the total retail value of the market and industry average retail price given above.]

f. Their largest competitor is Mill Street Brewery whose Original Organic Lager has 2.5% market share of the craft beer market. Given Hockley’s market share calculated in part (e), what will Hockley’s relative market share (RMS) be for their Classic Lager?

g. The craft beer market is growing at 10% annually, higher than any other type of beer. With the RMS for Hockley Classic Lager calculated in part (f), at the end of their first year, where in Hockley’s portfolio will Classic Lager be positioned and what recommendation would follow?

h. Calculate the price elasticity of demand if they raise the MSRP from $2.55 to $2.75 and demand falls from 100,000 cans to 95,000 cans. Is demand for this product price elastic or inelastic?

Based on the following:

  • The estimated purchase price for the equipment required to move the operation in-house would be $500,000. Additional net working capital to support production (in the form of cash used in Inventory, AR net of AP) would be needed in the amount of $25,000 per year starting in year 0 and through all 5 years of the project to support production.
  • The current spending on this component (i.e. annual spend pool) is $875,000. The estimated cash flow savings of bringing the process in-house is 20% or annual savings of $175,000. This includes the additional labor and overhead costs required.
  • Your company has access to a credit line and could borrow the funds at a rate of 6%.
  • Finally, the equipment required is anticipated to have a somewhat short useful life, as a new wave of technology is on the horizon. Therefore, it is anticipated that the equipment will be sold after five years for $25,000. (i.e. the terminal value).

Your colleague from Sales is convinced that this capability would allow new revenue stream that could significantly offset operating expenses. He recommends savings that grow each year: 5-year project life, 10% discount rate, and a 10% compounded annual savings growth in years 2 through 5. In other words, instead of assuming savings stay flat, assume that they will grow by 10% in year 2, and then grow another 10% over year 2 in year 3, and so on.

Using the data presented above (and ignoring the extraneous information), for this profit and supply chain improvement project, calculate each of the following (where applicable): Show Calculations
