The Kohler Chemical Manufacturing Company produces two primary chemical products to be used as base ingredients for a variety of products. The 2016 budget for the two products (in thousands) was as follows:
LX-4 ABC-8 Total
Level of production in litres 1,800 1,800 3,600
Direct materials $4,500 $5,625 $10,125
Direct labour 2,700 2,700 5,400
Total direct manufacturing cost $7,200 $8,325 $15,525

The following planning assumptions were used for the budget: (1) a direct materials yield of 96%, and (2) a direct labour rate of $6 per hour. The actual results for 2016 were as follows (in thousands):
LX-4 ABC-8 Total
Total litres produced 1,710 1,974 3,684
Direct materials $4,104.00 $6,415.50 $10,519.50
Direct labour 2,808.00 3,276.00 6,084.00
Total direct manufacturing cost $6,912.00 $9,691.50 $16,603.50

The actual production yield was 95% for LX-4 and 94% for ABC-8. The direct labour cost per hour for both products was $6.50.
Calculate for product LX-4: (1) the direct materials price variance, and (2) the direct materials efficiency (yield) variance. (Round answers to the nearest whole dollar, e.g. 5,275.)

The executive team at Current Designs has gathered to evaluate the company’s operations for the last...

The executive team at Current Designs has gathered to evaluate the company’s operations for the last month. One of the topics on the agenda is a special order to produce a batch of 20 kayaks for a client.

Mike Cichanowski asked the others if the special order caused any particular problems in the production process. Dave Thill, the production manager, made the following comments: “Since we wanted to complete this order quickly and make a good first impression on this new customer, we had some of our most experienced type I workers run the rotomould oven and do the trimming. They were very efficient and were able to complete that part of the manufacturing process even more quickly than the regular crew. However, the finishing on these kayaks required a different technique than what we usually use, so our type II workers took a little longer than usual for that part of the process.”

Deb Welch, who is in charge of the purchasing function, said, “We had to pay a little more for the polyethylene powder for this order because the customer wanted a colour that we don’t usually stock. We also ordered a little extra since we wanted to make sure that we had enough to allow us to calibrate the equipment. The calibration was a little tricky, and we used all of the powder that we had purchased. Since the number of kayaks in the order was fairly small, we were able to use some rope and other parts that were left over from last year’s production in the finishing kits. We’ve seen a price increase for these components in the last year, so using the parts that we already had in inventory cut our costs for the finishing kits.”

Based on the comments above, predict whether each of the following variances will be favourable or unfavourable. If you don’t have enough information to make a prediction, indicate by using “Not Enough Information.”
1. Quantity variance for polyethylene powder.

Unfavourable/Favourable/Not Enough Information

2. Price variance for polyethylene powder.

7. Quantity variance for type II workers.

Favourable/Unfavourable/Not Enough Information

8. Price variance for type II workers.

Not Enough Information/Unfavourable/Favourable

Diane Buswell examined some of the accounting records and reported that Current Designs purchased 1,190 kg of polyethylene powder for this order at a total cost of $2,023. Twenty finishing kits were assembled at a total cost of $3,220. The payroll records showed that the type I employees worked 56 hours on this project at a total cost of $784. The type II finishing employees worked 87 hours at a total cost of $978.75. A total of 20 kayaks were produced for this order.

The standards that had been developed for this model of kayak are as follows for each kayak:
52 kg of polyethylene powder at $1.5 per kilogram
1 finishing kit (rope, seat, hardware, etc.) at $168
3 hours of type I labour from people who run the oven and trim the plastic at a standard wage rate of $14 per hour
4 hours of type II labour from people who attach the hatches and seat and other hardware at a standard wage rate of $11 per hour.

Calculate the eight variances that are listed below. (Round price variance for Type II workers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25 and all other answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 25.)

Zion Electronics Company produces two products, Resistors and Transistors in a small manufacturing plant which had total manufacturing overhead of $21,000 in June. The factory has two departments, Design, which incurred $10,000 of manufacturing overhead, and Production which incurred $11,000 of manufacturing overhead. Design used 250 hours of direct labor and Production used 80 machine hours.

Assume that Resistors used 100 direct labor hours to make 100 units and Transistors used 150 direct labor hours to make 100 units in the Design Department. Also, assume that Resistors used 50 machine hours and Transistors used 30 machine hours in the Production Department.

Question 2 – Cost Allocation: Joint Products and Byproducts

Tivoli Labs produces a drug used for the treatment of hypertension. The drug is produced in batches. Chemicals costing $60,000 are mixed and heated, creating a reaction; a unique separation process then extracts the drug from the mixture. A batch yields a total of 2,500 gallons of the chemicals. The first 2,000 gallons are sold for human use while the last 500 gallons, which contain impurities, are sold to veterinarians.

The costs of mixing, heating, and extracting the drug amount to $90,000 per batch. The output sold for human use is pasteurized at a total cost of $120,000 and is sold for $585 per gallon. The product sold to veterinarians is irradiated at a cost of $10 per gallon and is sold for $410 per gallon.

In March, Tivoli, which had no opening inventory, processed one batch of chemicals. It sold 1,700 gallons of product for human use and 300 gallons of the veterinarian product. Tivoli uses the net realizable value method for allocating joint production costs.

Required:

1.   How much in joint costs does Tivoli allocate to each product?

2.   Compute the cost of ending inventory for each of Tivoli’s products.

3.   If Tivoli were to use the constant gross-margin percentage NRV method instead, how would it allocate its joint costs?

4.   Calculate the gross margin on the sale of the product for human use in March under the constant gross-margin percentage NRV method.

5.   Suppose that the separation process also yields 300 pints of a toxic byproduct. Tivoli currently pays a hauling company $5,000 to dispose of this byproduct. Tivoli is contacted by a firm interested in purchasing a modified form of this byproduct for a total price of $6,000. Tivoli estimates that it will cost about $30 per pint to do the required modification. Should Tivoli accept the offer?

PT corp makes 300 units of A per year. At this level, the cost per unit includes $360 in direct materials, $1,000 in direct labor, $240 in variable overhead, and $900 in fixed overhead. An outside supplier has offered to make all 300 units for $2,100 per unit. If PT accepts this offer, two thirds of the fixed overhead would persist, but would be defrayed by renting out the floor space for $83,000 per year.

What are the relevant costs (in total) for continuing to make this product?
