4. Italiano Manufacturing Company produces one type of pasta. For the coming quarter, it estimates that it will sell 25,000 kg of finished product. It currently has 1,000 kg in stock and expects to increase this to 2,000 kg at the end of the quarter.

The main ingredients to make 1 kilogram of pasta are 900 grams of durum wheat and two eggs. Prices for these items are budgeted at $2,100 per tonne of wheat and $3 per dozen eggs.

The company is holding 2.5 tonnes of wheat but wants to reduce this to 2.2 tonnes by the end of the quarter. It holds no stock of eggs, buying them in as needed.

a) Prepare the production budget for the quarter.

b) Prepare the direct materials budget for the quarter.

Pittman Company is a small but growing manufacturer of telecommunications equipment. The company has no sales force of its own; rather, it relies completely on independent sales agents to market its products. These agents are paid a sales commission of 15% for all items sold.

Barbara Cheney, Pittman’s controller, has just prepared the company’s budgeted income statement for next year as follows:

*Primarily depreciation on storage facilities.

As Barbara handed the statement to Karl Vecci, Pittman’s president, she commented, “I went ahead and used the agents’ 15% commission rate in completing these statements, but we’ve just learned that they refuse to handle our products next year unless we increase the commission rate to 20%.”

“That’s the last straw,” Karl replied angrily. “Those agents have been demanding more and more, and this time they’ve gone too far. How can they possibly defend a 20% commission rate?”

“They claim that after paying for advertising, travel, and the other costs of promotion, there’s nothing left over for profit,” replied Barbara.

“I say it’s just plain robbery,” retorted Karl. “And I also say it’s time we dumped those guys and got our own sales force. Can you get your people to work up some cost figures for us to look at?”

“We’ve already worked them up,” said Barbara. “Several companies we know about pay a 7.5% commission to their own salespeople, along with a small salary. Of course, we would have to handle all promotion costs, too. We figure our fixed expenses would increase by $3,525,000 per year, but that would be more than offset by the $4,700,000 (20% × $23,500,000) that we would avoid on agents’ commissions.”

The breakdown of the $3,525,000 cost follows:

“Super,” replied Karl. “And I noticed that the $3,525,000 equals what we’re paying the agents under the old 15% commission rate.”

“It’s even better than that,” explained Barbara. “We can actually save $108,100 a year because that’s what we’re paying our auditors to check out the agents’ reports. So our overall administrative expenses would be less.”

“Pull all of these numbers together and we’ll show them to the executive committee tomorrow,” said Karl. “With the approval of the committee, we can move on the matter immediately.”

3. Determine the dollar sales at which net income would be equal regardless of whether Pittman Company sells through agents (at a 20% commission rate) or employs its own sales force.

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:

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 $35,000 to buy from manufacturers):

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 $35,000 cost of goods sold that Worley incurred serving each hospital.)

How is depreciation different from what you thought before reading and working with this chapter?

Someone else (lets get a lot of short responses - no one person needs to answer all questions, although I would like to hear your questions that arise from this discussion): What is book value? How is it different from market value?

Someone else - what is salvage value?

Someone else - what is depreciable cost?

Let me hear your questions on the different methods of depreciation. Why would you maybe choose to use "units of production" instead of straight-line? Lets try to get some short responses that you may use to follow up with questions for one another. Each student can focus on one of these questions. I think that works better than getting all questions answered by each student responding. I want to ensure that we are reading each other's work as it will generate questions and get us to a better understanding.

3. Prepare a quantitative comparison of the traditional and activity-based cost assignments.
