P12-2 The management of Shatner Manufacturing Company is trying to decide whether to continue manufacturing a part or to buy it from an outside supplier. The part, called CISCO, is a component of the company’s fi nished product The following information was collected from the accounting records and production data for the year ending December 31, 2017.1. 8,000 units of CISCO were produced in the Machining Department.2. Variable manufacturing costs applicable to the production of each CISCO unit were: direct materials $4.80, direct labor $4.30, indirect labor $0.43, utilities $0.40.All variable manufacturing and direct fixed costs will be eliminated if CISCO is pur-chased. Allocated costs will have to be absorbed by other production departments.3. Fixed manufacturing costs applicable to the production of CISCO were: Cost Item Direct Allocated Depreciation $2,100 $ 900 Property taxes 500 200 Insurance 900 600 $3,500 $1,700 4. The lowest quotation for 8,000 CISCO units from a supplier is $80,000.5. If CISCO units are purchased, freight and inspection costs would be $0.35 per unit, and receiving costs totaling $1,300 per year would be incurred by the Machining Department.Instructions(a) Prepare an incremental analysis for CISCO. Your analysis should have columns for (1) Make CISCO, (2) Buy CISCO, and (3) Net Income Increase/(Decrease).(b) Based on your analysis, what decision should management make?(c) Would the decision be different if Shatner Company has the opportunity to produce $3,000 of net income with the facilities currently being used to manufacture CISCO?

Genuine Spice Inc. began operations on January 1 of the current year. The company produces eight- ounce bottles of hand and body lotion called Eternal Beauty. The lotion is sold wholesale in 12-bottle cases for $100 per case. There is a selling commission of $20 per case. The January direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead costs are as follows:

DIRECT MATERIALS
Cost Behavior Units per Case Cost per Unit Cost per Case
Cream base Variable 100 oz. $0.02 $ 2.00
Natural oils Variable 30 oz. 0.30 9.00
Bottle (8-oz.) Variable 12 bottles 0.50 6.00
$17.00
DIRECT LABOR
Department Cost Behavior Time per Case Labor Rate per Hour Cost per Case
Mixing Variable 20 min. $18.00 $6.00
Filling Variable 5 14.40 1.20
25 min. $7.20
FACTORY OVERHEAD
Cost Behavior Total Cost
Utilities Mixed $600
Facility lease Fixed 14,000
Equipment depreciation Fixed 4,300
Supplies Fixed 660
$19,560

Part A—Break-Even Analysis

The management of Genuine Spice Inc. wants to determine the number of cases required to break even per month. The utilities cost, which is part of factory overhead, is a mixed cost. The following information was gathered from the first six months of operation regarding this cost:

Case Production Utility Total Cost
January 500 $600
February 800 660
March 1,200 740
April 1,100 720
May 950 690
June 1,025 705
Required-Part A:
1. Determine the fixed and variable portion of the utility cost using the high-low method.
2. Determine the contribution margin per case.
3. Determine the fixed costs per month, including the utility fixed cost from part (1).
4. Determine the break-even number of cases per month.

Part B—August Budgets

During July of the current year, the management of Genuine Spice Inc. asked the controller to prepare August manufacturing and income statement budgets. Demand was expected to be 1,500 cases at $100 per case for August. Inventory planning information is provided as follows:

Finished Goods Inventory:

Cases Cost
Estimated finished goods inventory, August 1 300 $12,000
Desired finished goods inventory, August 31 175 7,000

Materials Inventory:

Cream Base Oils Bottles
(oz.) (oz.) (bottles)
Estimated materials inventory, August 1 250 290 600
Desired materials inventory, August 31 1,000 360 240

There was negligible work in process inventory assumed for either the beginning or end of the month; thus, none was assumed. In addition, there was no change in the cost per unit or estimated units per case operating data from January.

Required-Part B:
5. Prepare the August production budget.*
6. Prepare the August direct materials purchases budget.*
7. Prepare the August direct labor cost budget. Round the hours required for production to the nearest hour.*
8. Prepare the August factory overhead cost budget. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank. (Entries of zero (0) will be cleared automatically by CNOW.)*
9. Prepare the August budgeted income statement, including selling expenses. NOTE: Because you are not required to prepare a cost of goods sold budget, the cost of goods sold calculations will be part of the budgeted income statement.*
*Enter all amounts as positive numbers.

Part C—August Variance Analysis

During September of the current year, the controller was asked to perform variance analyses for August. The January operating data provided the standard prices, rates, times, and quantities per case. There were 1,500 actual cases produced during August, which was 250 more cases than planned at the beginning of the month. Actual data for August were as follows:

Actual Direct Materials

Price per Unit Quantity per Case
Cream base $0.016 per oz. 102 oz.
Natural oils $0.32 per oz. 31 oz.
Bottle (8-oz.) $0.42 per bottle 12.5 bottles
Actual Direct Actual Direct Labor
Labor Rate Time per Case
Mixing $18.20 19.50 min.
Filling 14.00 5.60 min.
Actual variable overhead $305.00
Normal volume 1,600 cases

The prices of the materials were different from standard due to fluctuations in market prices. The standard quantity of materials used per case was an ideal standard. The Mixing Department used a higher grade labor classification during the month, thus causing the actual labor rate to exceed standard. The Filling Department used a lower grade labor classification during the month, thus causing the actual labor rate to be less than standard

Required-Part C:
10. Determine and interpret the direct materials price and quantity variances for the three materials.
11. Determine and interpret the direct labor rate and time variances for the two departments. Round hours to the nearest tenth of an hour.
12. Determine and interpret the factory overhead controllable variance.
13. Determine and interpret the factory overhead volume variance.
14. Why are the standard direct labor and direct materials costs in the calculations for parts (10) and (11) based on the actual 1,500-case production volume rather than the planned 1,375 cases of production used in the budgets for parts (6) and (7)?

Decision on Accepting Additional Business Brightstone Tire and Rubber Company has capacity to produce 128,000 tires....

Decision on Accepting Additional Business

Brightstone Tire and Rubber Company has capacity to produce 128,000 tires. Brightstone presently produces and sells 98,000 tires for the North American market at a price of $109 per tire. Brightstone is evaluating a special order from a European automobile company, Euro Motors. Euro is offering to buy 15,000 tires for $92.55 per tire. Brightstone's accounting system indicates that the total cost per tire is as follows:

Direct materials $41
Direct labor 15
Factory overhead (70% variable) 25
Selling and administrative expenses (40% variable) 22
Total $103

Brightstone pays a selling commission equal to 5% of the selling price on North American orders, which is included in the variable portion of the selling and administrative expenses. However, this special order would not have a sales commission. If the order was accepted, the tires would be shipped overseas for an additional shipping cost of $6 per tire. In addition, Euro has made the order conditional on receiving European safety certification. Brightstone estimates that this certification would cost $87,000.

a. Prepare a differential analysis dated January 21 on whether to reject (Alternative 1) or accept (Alternative 2) the special order from Euro Motors. If an amount is zero, enter zero "0". If required, round interim calculations to two decimal places.

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 below:

Hi-Tek Manufacturing Inc Income Statement:
SALES $ 1,693,500
COST OF GOODS SOLD 1,243,934
GROSS MARGIN 449,566
SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES 580,000
NET OPERATING LOSS $ (130,434)

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 $39 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 $ 400,100 $ 162,100 $ 562,200
DIRECT LABOR $ 120,300 $ 43,000 163,300
MANUFACTURING OVERHEAD 518,434
COST OF GOODS SOLD $ 1,243,934

The company has created an activity-based costing system to evaluate the profitability of its products. Hi-Tek’s ABC implementation team concluded that $56,000 and $107,000 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:
