Last year, a sailboard company produced two types of boards: a regular board for multi-purpose sailing; and, a special trick board used by experts for competitions. The regular board sells for $750 and the competition board sells for $1,350. The variable production costs are $250 and $400 respectively, and the company has $400,000 in fixed costs overall. Marketing staff have determined that the company should specialize in the competition boards only, and sell the regular boards, if at all, under a different brand name. Last year the company made a profit, selling twice as many regular boards as competition boards, resulting in a fixed cost allocation of $5.00 per board. It takes 6 hours of direct labour to make a regular board and 12 hours to make a competition board. The company worked at full capacity of 19,500 direct labour hours last year.

Based on the above information only, which product or mix of products, should the company choose? Assume that any and all production can be sold.

a) the competition board only, as it has a higher contribution margin

b) the regular board only, as it takes fewer direct labour hours to build

c) the regular board only, as it has the highest contribution margin per direct labour hour

d) any combination is equivalent, based on the contribution margin times the number of boards that could be sold

e) both as the company made a profit last year using this strategy

1/Lake Power Sports sells jet skis and other powered recreational equipment. Customers pay one-third of the sales price of a jet ski when they initially purchase the ski, and then pay another one-third each year for the next two years. Because Lake has little information about the ability to collect these receivables, it uses the cost recovery method to recognize revenue on these installment sales. In 2017, Lake began operations and sold jet skis with a total price of $780,000 that cost Lake $390,000. Lake collected $260,000 in 2017, $260,000 in 2018, and $260,000 in 2019 associated with those sales. In 2018, Lake sold jet skis with a total price of $1,380,000 that cost Lake $828,000. Lake collected $460,000 in 2018, $368,000 in 2019, and $368,000 in 2020 associated with those sales. In 2020, Lake also repossessed $184,000 of jet skis that were sold in 2018. Those jet skis had a fair value of $69,000 at the time they were repossessed.


In 2019, Lake would recognize realized gross profit of:

Timpco, a retailer, makes both cash and credit sales (i.e., sales on open account). Information regarding budgeted sales for the last quarter of the year is as follows: October November December Cash sales $ 105,000 $ 87,000 $ 91,000 Credit sales 105,000 104,400 100,100 Total $ 210,000 $ 191,400 $ 191,100 Past experience shows that 5% of credit sales are uncollectible. Of the credit sales that are collectible, 60% are collected in the month of sale; the remaining 40% are collected in the month following the month of sale. Customers are granted a 1.5% discount for payment within 10 days of billing. Approximately 75% of collectible credit sales take advantage of the cash discount. Inventory purchases each month are 100% of the cost of the following month’s projected sales. (The gross profit rate for Timpco is approximately 30%.) All merchandise purchases are made on credit, with 20% paid in the month of purchase and the remainder paid in the following month. No cash discounts for early payment are in effect. Required: 1. Calculate the budgeted total cash receipts for November and December. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.) 2. Calculate budgeted cash disbursements for November and December (budgeted total sales for January of the coming year equals $184,000).

We produce picture frames for stores such as Michael’s and Hobby Lobby. In the assembly department, the wooden slats are added at the beginning of the process, and the glass is added when the process is 25% complete. Conversion costs are added evenly throughout the period. Here is the data related to the assembly department for November 2018:

WIP, November 1 (40% complete) 60 frames

Started in November 500 frames

WIP, November 30 (15% complete) 100 frames

Costs included in the Beginning WIP:

DM - wooden slats $ 300

DM - glass $ 180

CC $ 168

Costs added during November:

DM - wooden slats $ 2,950

DM - glass $ 1,500

CC $ 3,580

Note: When calculating equivalent units (Step 2), total costs (Step 3), and cost per equivalent unit (Step 4), you will have 3 columns - DM slats, DM glass, and CC. Therefore, when you assign costs in Step 5, you’ll assign all 3 costs for each layer.

Using Weighted Average:

a. Prepare T-accounts for WIP in units and in $ to represent this situation.

b. Prepare the 5-step Production Cost Report.

c. Update the T-accounts to reflect the amounts transferred out and the amounts in Ending WIP.
