Pirate Seafood Company purchases lobsters and processes them into tails and flakes. It sells the lobster tails for $19.50 per pound and the flakes for $14.60 per pound. On average, 100 pounds of lobster are processed into 62 pounds of tails and 27 pounds of flakes, with 11 pounds of waste. Assume that the company purchased 3,500 pounds of lobster for $4 per pound and processed the lobsters with an additional labor cost of $7,300. No materials or labor costs are assigned to the waste. If 2,033 pounds of tails and 865 pounds of flakes are sold, calculate the allocated cost of the sold items and the allocated cost of the ending inventory. The company allocates joint costs on a value basis. (Round your answers to nearest whole number. Round cost per pound answers to 2 decimal places.)

Answer is complete but not entirely correct.

Bouwens Corporation manufactures a solvent used in airplane maintenance shops. Bouwens sells the solvent to both U.S. military services and commercial airlines. The solvent is produced in a single plant in one of two buildings. Although the solvent sold to the military is chemically identical to that sold to the airlines, the company produces solvent for the two customer types in different buildings at the plant. The solvent sold to the military is manufactured in building 155 (B-155) and is labeled M-Solv. The solvent sold to the commercial airlines is manufactured in building 159 (B-159) and is labeled C-Solv.

B-155 is much newer and is considered a model work environment with climate control and other amenities. Workers at Bouwens, who all have roughly equal skills, bid on their job locations (the buildings they will work in) and are assigned based on bids and seniority. As workers gain seniority, they also receive higher pay.

The solvent sold to the two customers is essentially identical, but the military requires Bouwens to use a base chemical with a brand name, MX. The solvent for the commercial airlines is called CX. MX is required for military applications because it is sold by vendors on a preferred vendor list.

The company sells solvent for the market price to the airlines. Solvent sold to the military is sold based on cost plus a fixed fee. That is, the government pays Bouwens for the recorded cost of the solvent plus a fixed amount of profit. The cost can be computed according to "commonly used product cost methods, including job costing or process costing methods using either FIFO or weighted-average methods". Competition for the government business is very strong and Bouwens is always looking for ways to reduce the cost and the price it quotes the government.

Currently, Bouwens uses a job costing system in which each month’s production for each customer type is considered a "job". Thus, every month, Bouwens starts and completes one job in B-155 and one job in B-159. (There is never any beginning or ending work in process at Bouwens.) Recently, a dispute arose between Jack, the product manager for the military solvent, and Jill, the product manager for the commercial solvent, over the proper costing system.

1. Jack:

It is ridiculous to use job costing for this. We are producing solvent. Everyone knows that the chemicals are the same. The fact the B-155 has high-cost labor is because all the senior employees want to work there. We could produce the same product with the employees in B-159. We should be using process costing and consider all the production, in both buildings for each month, as the batch.

2. Jill:

Jack, the fact is that the military requires us to use a special chemical and their contracts require we keep track of the costs for their business. If we don’t separate the costing, we won’t know how profitable either business is.

The following is production and cost information for a typical month, July:

Required:

a. Compute the unit costs of M-Solv and C-Solv for July using the current system (job costing) at Bouwens. (Round "Unit cost" to 2 decimal places.)

b. Compute the cost of M-Solv and C-Solv for July if Bouwens were to treat all production as the same (combining B-155 and B-159 production). (Round "Unit cost" to 2 decimal places.)

c. Recommend a costing method that best reflects the cost of producing M-Solv and C-Solv.

d. For your recommended costing system, compute the cost of both M-Solv and C-Solv for July. (Round "Unit cost" to 2 decimal places.)

Compute the unit costs for materials and conversion costs separately.

Then compute conversion costs for the factory: (Round "Unit cost" to 2 decimal places.)

Tioga Company manufactures sophisticated lenses and mirrors used in large optical telescopes. The company is now preparing its annual profit plan. As part of its analysis of the profitability of individual products, the controller estimates the amount of overhead that should be allocated to the individual product lines from the following information.

The total budgeted material-handling cost is $71,720.  

Required:

1. Under a costing system that allocates overhead on the basis of direct-labor hours, the material-handling costs allocated to one lens would be what amount?
2. Under a costing system that allocates overhead on the basis of direct-labor hours, the material-handling costs allocated to one mirror would be what amount?
3. Under activity-based costing (ABC), the material-handling costs allocated to one lens would be what amount? The cost driver for the material-handling activity is the number of material moves.
4. Under activity-based costing (ABC), the material-handling costs allocated to one mirror would be what amount? The cost driver for the material-handling activity is the number of material moves.
