Pareto Chart and Cost of Quality Report for a Manufacturing Company The president of Mission Inc. has been concerned about the growth in costs over the last several years. The president asked the controller to perform an activity analysis to gain a better insight into these costs. The result of the activity analysis is summarized as follows: Required: 1. Classify the activities into prevention, appraisal, internal failure, external failure, and not costs of quality (producing product). Classify the activities into value-added and non-value added activities. Activity Activity Cost Cost of Quality Classification VA/NVA Correcting invoice errors $22,600 External failure Non-value-added Disposing of incoming materials with poor quality 18,080 Internal failure Non-value-added Disposing of scrap 54,240 Internal failure Non-value-added Expediting late production 45,200 Internal failure Non-value-added Final inspection 40,680 Appraisal Value-added Inspecting incoming materials 9,040 Appraisal Value-added Inspecting work in process 40,680 Appraisal Value-added Preventive machine maintenance 31,640 Prevention Value-added Producing product 162,720 Not a quality cost Value-added Responding to customer quality complaints 27,120 External failure Non-value-added Total $452,000 2. On paper or in a spreadsheet program, prepare a Pareto chart for each of the activities listed above. Answer the following: What type of chart is a Pareto chart? Bar chart Which activity appears first, in order from left to right? Producing product 3. Use the activity cost information to determine the percentages of total department costs that are prevention, appraisal, internal failure, external failure, and not costs of quality. If required, round percentages to one decimal place. Quality Cost Classification Activity Cost Percent of Total Department Cost Prevention $ % Appraisal % Internal failure % External failure % Not a cost of quality % Total $ % 4. Determine the percentages of total department costs that are value-added and non-value-added. If required, round percentages to one decimal place. Activity Cost Percent of Total Department Cost Value-added $ % Non-value-added % Total $ % 5. The department has 37% of its total costs as non-value-added . Internal failure costs represent 26% of the total costs. This means there is significant opportunity for cost savings. External failure costs represent 11% of the total department costs.

EMD Corporation manufactures two products, Product S and Product W. Product W is of fairly recent origin, having been developed as an attempt to enter a market closely related to that of Product W. Product W is the more complex of the two products, requiring 3 hours of direct labor time per unit to manufacture compared to 2 hour of direct labor time for Product S. Product W is produced on an automated production line.

Overhead is currently assigned to the products on the basis of direct-labor-hours. The company estimated it would incur $912,811 in manufacturing overhead costs and produce 19,000 units of Product W and 76,000 units of Product S during the current year. Unit cost for materials and direct labor are:

Required:

a-1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate under the current method of allocation.

It is estimated that direct labor hours worked each month will range from 5,000 to 20,000 hours. During June, 15,000 direct labor hours were worked and the following overhead costs were incurred (shown in the chart below):

Instructions:

1. Prepare a monthly flexible manufacturing overhead budget for the Mixing Department for each increment of 5,000 direct labor hours over the relevant range for the year ending December 31, 2018.
2. Prepare a manufacturing overhead budget report for June.

Assume that Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. has decided to surface and maintain for 10 years a vacant lot next to one of its stores to serve as a parking lot for customers. Management is considering the following bids involving two different qualities of surfacing for a parking area of 11,600 square yards.

Bid A: A surface that costs $6.25 per square yard to install. This surface will have to be replaced at the end of 5 years. The annual maintenance cost on this surface is estimated at 25 cents per square yard for each year except the last year of its service. The replacement surface will be similar to the initial surface.

Bid B: A surface that costs $10.25 per square yard to install. This surface has a probable useful life of 10 years and will require annual maintenance in each year except the last year, at an estimated cost of 11 cents per square yard.

Compute present value of the bids. You may assume that the cost of capital is 11%, that the annual maintenance expenditures are incurred at the end of each year, and that prices are not expected to change during the next 10 years.

Koontz Company manufactures a number of products. The standards relating to one of these products are shown below, along with actual cost data for May.

The production superintendent was pleased when he saw this report and commented: “This $0.83 excess cost is well within the 5 percent limit management has set for acceptable variances. It's obvious that there's not much to worry about with this product."

Actual production for the month was 11,000 units. Variable overhead cost is assigned to products on the basis of direct labor-hours. There were no beginning or ending inventories of materials.

Required:

2. How much of the $0.83 excess unit cost is traceable to each of the variances computed in (1) above.

3. How much of the $0.83 excess unit cost is traceable to apparent inefficient use of labor time?
