Marvel Parts, Inc., manufactures auto accessories. One of the company’s products is a set of seat covers that can be adjusted to fit nearly any small car. The company has a standard cost system in use for all of its products. According to the standards that have been set for the seat covers, the factory should work 990 hours each month to produce 1,980 sets of covers. The standard costs associated with this level of production are:
| Total | Per Set of Covers |
||||
| Direct materials | $ | 39,798 | $ | 20.10 | |
| Direct labor | $ | 5,940 | 3.00 | ||
| Variable manufacturing overhead (based on direct labor-hours) | $ | 3,168 | 1.60 | ||
| $ | 24.70 | ||||
During August, the factory worked only 1,000 direct labor-hours and produced 2,200 sets of covers. The following actual costs were recorded during the month:
| Total | Per Set of Covers |
||||
| Direct materials (7,400 yards) | $ | 40,700 | $ | 18.50 | |
| Direct labor | $ | 8,140 | 3.70 | ||
| Variable manufacturing overhead | $ | 3,960 | 1.80 | ||
| $ | 24.00 | ||||
At standard, each set of covers should require 3.0 yards of material. All of the materials purchased during the month were used in production.
Required:
1. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for August.
2. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for August.
3. Compute the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances for August.
(Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.)

Blossom Corporation, a private corporation, was formed on July
1, 2018. On July 31, Guy Gélinas, the company’s president, prepared
the following statement of financial position:

|||||||
| Assets | Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity | ||||||
| Cash | $25,000 | Accounts payable | $46,000 | ||||

| $137,000 | $137,000 | ||||||
Guy admits that his knowledge of accounting is somewhat limited and
is concerned that his statement of financial position might not be
correct. He gives you the following additional
information:
| 1. | The boat actually belongs to Guy Gélinas, not to Blossom Corporation. However, because Guy thinks he might take customers out on the boat occasionally, he decided to list it as an asset of the company. To be consistent, he also included as a liability of the company the personal bank loan that he took out to buy the boat. | |
| 2. | Included in the accounts receivable balance is $10,000 that Guy personally loaned to his brother 5 years ago. Guy included this in the receivables of Blossom Corporation so that he wouldn’t forget that his brother owes him money. | |
| 3. | Guy’s statements didn’t balance. To make them balance, he adjusted the Common Shares account until assets equalled liabilities and shareholders’ equity. |
Prepare a corrected statement of financial position.
(Hint: To get the balance sheet to balance, adjust Common
Shares). (List Assets in order of
liquidity.)

Case 11A-7 Transfer Pricing; Divisional Performance [LO11-5] Weller Industries is a decentralized organization with six divisions. The company’s Electrical Division produces a variety of electrical items, including an X52 electrical fitting. The Electrical Division (which is operating at capacity) sells this fitting to its regular customers for $8.10 each; the fitting has a variable manufacturing cost of $4.58. The company’s Brake Division has asked the Electrical Division to supply it with a large quantity of X52 fittings for only $6.10 each. The Brake Division, which is operating at 50% of capacity, will put the fitting into a brake unit that it will produce and sell to a large commercial airline manufacturer. The cost of the brake unit being built by the Brake Division follows: Purchased parts (from outside vendors) $ 23.20 Electrical fitting X52 6.10 Other variable costs 14.32 Fixed overhead and administration 8.30 Total cost per brake unit $ 51.92 Although the $6.10 price for the X52 fitting represents a substantial discount from the regular $8.10 price, the manager of the Brake Division believes the price concession is necessary if his division is to get the contract for the airplane brake units. He has heard “through the grapevine” that the airplane manufacturer plans to reject his bid if it is more than $53 per brake unit. Thus, if the Brake Division is forced to pay the regular $8.10 price for the X52 fitting, it will either not get the contract or it will suffer a substantial loss at a time when it is already operating at only 50% of capacity. The manager of the Brake Division argues that the price concession is imperative to the well-being of both his division and the company as a whole. Weller Industries uses return on investment (ROI) to measure divisional performance. Required: 1. Assume that you are the manager of the Electrical Division. a. What is the lowest acceptable transfer price for the Electrical Division? b. Would you supply the X52 fitting to the Brake Division for $6.10 each as requested? 2. Calculate the net positive effect on the company's profit per brake unit the Electrical Division to supply the fittings to the Brake Division and if the airplane brakes can be sold for $53? 3. In principle, within what range would that transfer price lie?

4. The cost of production report may be used as the basis for allocating product costs between Work in Process and Finished Goods . The report can also be used to control costs by holding each department head responsible for the units entering production and the costs incurred in the department. Any differences in unit product costs from one month to another, such as those in part (3), can be studied carefully and any significant differences investigated.
