Combat Fire, Inc. manufactures steel cylinders and nozzles for two models of fire extinguishers: (1) a home fire extinguisher and (2) a commercial fire extinguisher. The home model is a high-volume (54,000 units), half-gallon cylinder that holds 2 1/2 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 480 PSI. The commercial model is a low-volume (10,200 units), two-gallon cylinder that holds 10 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 390 PSI. Both products require 1.5 hours of direct labor for completion. Therefore, total annual direct labor hours are 96,300 or [1.5 hours × (54,000 + 10,200)]. Estimated annual manufacturing overhead is $ 1,590,008. Thus, the predetermined overhead rate is $ 16.51 or ($ 1,590,008 ÷ 96,300) per direct labor hour. The direct materials cost per unit is $18.50 for the home model and $26.50 for the commercial model. The direct labor cost is $19 per unit for both the home and the commercial models.

The company’s managers identified six activity cost pools and related cost drivers and accumulated overhead by cost pool as follows.

(a)

Under traditional product costing, compute the total unit cost of each product. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.50.)

2.)Under ABC, complete the schedule showing the computations of the activity-based overhead rates (per cost driver). (Round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.25.)

3.)Complete the schedule assigning each activity's overhead cost pool to each product based on the use of cost drivers. (Use rates from part b above and round cost assigned to 0 decimal places, e.g. 12,250. Round overhead per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.25. Note that due to rounding your total cost assigned will be slightly different than calculated above.)

The following selected data were taken from the accounting records of Metcalf Manufacturing. The company uses direct-labor hours as its cost driver for overhead costs.

March’s costs consisted of machine supplies ($219,300), depreciation ($29,500), and plant maintenance ($644,200). These costs exhibit the following respective behavior: variable, fixed, and semivariable.

The manufacturing overhead figures presented in the preceding table do not include Metcalf’s supervisory labor cost, which is step-fixed in nature. For volume levels of less than 15,000 hours, supervisory labor amounts to $74,500. The cost is $149,000 from 15,000–29,999 hours and $223,500 when activity reaches 30,000 hours or more.

Required:

1. Determine the machine supplies cost and depreciation for January.

2. Using the high-low method, analyze Metcalf’s plant maintenance cost and calculate the monthly fixed portion and the variable cost per direct-labor hour.

3. Assume that present cost behavior patterns continue into the latter half of the year. Estimate the total amount of manufacturing overhead the company can expect in November if 29,300 direct-labor hours are worked.

Lionel Corporation manufactures pharmaceutical products sold through a network of sales agents in the United States and Canada. The agents are currently paid an 18% commission on sales; that percentage was used when Lionel prepared the following budgeted income statement for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019:

Since the completion of the income statement, Lionel has learned that its sales agents are requiring a 5% increase in their commission rate (to 23%) for the upcoming year. As a result, Lionel’s president has decided to investigate the possibility of hiring its own sales staff in place of the network of sales agents and has asked Alan Chen, Lionel’s controller, to gather information on the costs associated with this change.

Alan estimates that Lionel must hire eight salespeople to cover the current market area, at an average annual payroll cost for each employee of $80,000, including fringe benefits expense. Travel and entertainment expenses is expected to total $770,000 for the year, and the annual cost of hiring a sales manager and sales secretary will be $235,000. In addition to their salaries, the eight salespeople will each earn commissions at the rate of 10% of sales. The president believes that Lionel also should increase its advertising budget by $670,000 if the eight salespeople are hired.

Required

1. Determine Lionel’s breakeven point (operating profit = 0) in sales dollars for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019, if the company hires its own sales force and increases its advertising costs. Prove this by constructing a contribution income statement.

2. If Lionel continues to sell through its network of sales agents and pays the higher commission rate, determine the estimated volume in sales dollars that would be required to generate the operating profit as projected in the budgeted income statement.

Great Lakes Distributors buys 100,000 bushels of soybean futures at $9.95 per bushel, to cover a commitment to deliver 100,000 bushels of soybeans to a customer in 60 days at a price of $10.25 per bushel. No margin deposit is required. Spot and futures prices for soybeans are equal and fluctuate between $9.50 and $10.40 per bushel. On the day of delivery to the customer, Great Lakes closes its futures position and buys soybeans in the spot market to fulfill its agreement with the customer.

a. Calculate the cost per bushel to Great Lakes if the spot price at the time of purchase is $9.50. Calculate the cost per bushel if the spot price is $10.40.

b. Prepare the entries Great Lakes makes to record the above events if the spot price is $10.20 per bushel on the day the futures contract is closed, Great Lakes buys the soybeans on the spot market, and delivers them to the customer. The futures position qualifies as a fair value hedge of the firm commitment to sell soybeans to the customer. Great Lakes records income effects of these transactions in cost of goods sold.
