8. Wright Lighting Fixtures forecasts its sales in units for the next four months as follows:
March $25,000
April $27,000
May $24,500
June $23,000

Wright maintains an ending inventory for each month in the amount of two and one-half times the expected sales in the following month. The ending inventory for February (March’s beginning inventory) reflects this policy. Materials cost $7 per unit and are paid for in the month after production. Labor cost is $11 per unit and is paid for in the month incurred. Fixed overhead is $21,500 per month. Dividends of $21,900 are to be paid in May. The firm produced 24,000 units in February.
Complete a production schedule and a summary of cash payments for March, April, and May. Remember that production in any one month is equal to sales plus desired ending inventory minus beginning inventory.

Worley Company buys surgical supplies from a variety of manufacturers and then resells and delivers these supplies to hundreds of hospitals. Worley sets its prices for all hospitals by marking up its cost of goods sold to those hospitals by 9%. For example, if a hospital buys supplies from Worley that cost Worley $100 to buy from manufacturers, Worley would charge the hospital $109 to purchase these supplies.

For years, Worley believed that the 9% markup covered its selling and administrative expenses and provided a reasonable profit. However, in the face of declining profits, Worley decided to implement an activity-based costing system to help improve its understanding of customer profitability. The company broke its selling and administrative expenses into five activities as shown:

Activity Cost Pool (Activity Measure) Total Cost Total Activity
Customer deliveries (Number of deliveries) $ 672,000 8,000 deliveries
Manual order processing (Number of manual orders) 365,000 5,000 orders
Electronic order processing (Number of electronic orders) 231,000 11,000 orders
Line item picking (Number of line items picked) 989,000 460,000 line items
Other organization-sustaining costs (None) 630,000
Total selling and administrative expenses $ 2,887,000

Worley gathered the data below for two of the many hospitals that it serves—University and Memorial (each hospital purchased medical supplies that had cost Worley $32,000 to buy from manufacturers):

Activity

Activity Measure University Memorial
Number of deliveries 16 23
Number of manual orders 0 41
Number of electronic orders 20 0
Number of line items picked 140 210

Required:

1. Compute the total revenue that Worley would receive from University and Memorial.

2. Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool.

3. Compute the total activity costs that would be assigned to University and Memorial.

4. Compute Worley’s customer margin for University and Memorial. (Hint: Do not overlook the $32,000 cost of goods sold that Worley incurred serving each hospital.)

aroque Beverages (BB) produces and sells fruit drinks. Production is done in two stages: (1) fresh fruit is processed into juice concentrate and (2) juice concentrate is processed into the final beverage. Currently, BB has one factory that can process 7,500 units of juice concentrate and 10,000 units of the final beverage (one unit of juice concentrate is required to make one unit of the final beverage). Expected per unit manufacturing costs, based on production of 7,500 units, in the two stages are as follows:
​Stage One​Stage Two
​Direct Material​ £80​ £90
​Direct Labor​ £40​ £20
​Variable OH​ £60​ £30
​Fixed OH​ £50​ £30
For the upcoming fiscal year, Ferenc Deák (the divisional manager of BB) expects demand to be for 10,000 units of the final beverage at a price of £750/unit; however he is constrained to selling only 7,500 units (and therefore only expects to produce 7,500 units of both the juice concentrate and the final beverage). Additionally, he expects to incur £1,175,000 in fixed non-manufacturing costs and £750,000 in corporate overhead charges. This charge is meant to ensure that Ferenc's division pays for its usage of corporate services (including general marketing, legal and R&D). When Ferenc enquired as to the rationale for the amount of the allocation, he was told that it was because his division was one of the largest divisions of the company.
Ferenc is paid a bonus of 3% of BB residual income (but before bonus payment) and 1% of the corporate residual income (but before bonus payments); corporate profit is forecasted to be £1,890,000. The capital invested in BB is equal to £3,000,000 and the capital invested in the company as a whole is equal to £12,000,000. The corporate wide cost of capital is 10%.
Required:
a. Calculate Ferenc's expected bonus for the next fiscal year.
Ferenc has been approached by Irina Spalko - manager of Mamadou (another division within the same company) - who wants to supply BB with 10,000 units of juice concentrate (in an all-or-nothing transaction). Ferenc knows that the decentralized structure of the organisation means that he can decide whether to accept the offer, without interference from the head office. Ferenc also knows that if he accepts the offer, then the factory space dedicated to producing juice concentrate will sit idle.
b. Calculate the maximum transfer price that Ferenc would be willing to pay per unit to Mamadou for 10,000 units of juice concentrate to ensure that BB profit remains unchanged. (Note: the budgeted corporate charge will remain at £750,000).
