Chp 22 Test Review

Black Diamond Company produces snow skis. Each ski requires 1 pounds of carbon fiber. The company’s management predicts that 6,500 skis and 7,500 pounds of carbon fiber will be in inventory on June 30 of the current year and that 165,000 skis will be sold during the next (third) quarter. A set of two skis sells for $450. Management wants to end the third quarter with 5,000 skis and 5,500 pounds of carbon fiber in inventory. Carbon fiber can be purchased for $14 per pound. Each ski requires 0.5 hours of direct labor at $19 per hour. Variable overhead is applied at the rate of $9 per direct labor hour. The company budgets fixed overhead of $1,797,000 for the quarter.

Required:
1. Prepare the third-quarter production budget for skis.

2. Prepare the third-quarter direct materials (carbon fiber) budget; include the dollar cost of purchases.

3. Prepare the direct labor budget for the third quarter.

4. Prepare the factory overhead budget for the third quarter.

Agnew Manufacturing produces and sells three models of a single product, Standard, Superior, and DeLuxe, in a local market and in a regional market. At the end of the first quarter of the current year, the following income statement (in thousands of dollars) has been prepared.

Management has expressed special concern with the regional market because of the extremely poor return on sales. This market was entered a year ago because of excess capacity. It was originally believed that the return on sales would improve with time, but after a year, no noticeable improvement can be seen from the results as reported in the preceding quarterly statement.

In attempting to decide whether to eliminate the regional market, the following information has been gathered.

All administrative costs and fixed manufacturing costs would not be affected by eliminating the regional market. Marketing costs that are not listed as variable are fixed for the period and separable by market. Fixed marketing costs assigned to the regional market would be saved if that market were eliminated.

Required:

a. Assuming there are no alternative uses for Agnew's present capacity, would you recommend dropping the regional market?

b. Prepare the quarterly income statement showing contribution margins by products. Do not allocate fixed costs to products.

c. It is believed that a new model can be ready for sale next year if Agnew decides to go ahead with continued research. The new product would replace DeLuxe and can be produced by simply converting equipment presently used in producing the DeLuxe model. This conversion will increase fixed costs by $117,000 per quarter. What must be the minimum contribution margin per quarter for the new model to make the changeover financially feasible?
