Hi-Tek Manufacturing, Inc., makes two types of industrial component parts—the B300 and the T500. An absorption costing income statement for the most recent period is shown:

Hi-Tek produced and sold 60,400 units of B300 at a price of $20 per unit and 12,700 units of T500 at a price of $39 per unit. The company’s traditional cost system allocates manufacturing overhead to products using a plantwide overhead rate and direct labor dollars as the allocation base. Additional information relating to the company’s two product lines is shown below:

The company has created an activity-based costing system to evaluate the profitability of its products. Hi-Tek’s ABC implementation team concluded that $54,000 and $103,000 of the company’s advertising expenses could be directly traced to B300 and T500, respectively. The remainder of the selling and administrative expenses was organization-sustaining in nature. The ABC team also distributed the company’s manufacturing overhead to four activities as shown below:

Required:

1. Compute the product margins for the B300 and T500 under the company’s traditional costing system.

The management of Ethan plc is trying to decide on a cost of capital to apply to the evaluation of investment projects. The company has an issued share capital of 500,000 ordinary K1 shares, with a current market value cum-div of K1.17 per share. It has also issued K200,000 of 10% debentures, which are redeemable at par in five years’ time and have a current market value of K105.30 cum-interest, and K100,000 of K1 irredeemable 6% preference shares, currently priced at K0.40 per share ex-div. The preference dividend has just been paid, and the ordinary dividend and debenture interest are due to be paid in the near future.
Management considers the current capital structure of the company to be similar to their plans for its long-term capital structure.
The ordinary share dividend will be K60,000 this year, and the Directors have published their view that earnings and dividends will increase by 5% a year into the indefinite future. The company pays tax at 25% per year in the same year as profits.
Required:
a) Calculate the WACC.
b) Discuss the importance of the cost of capital in project appraisal and highlight the impact
that a wrong discount rate would have on decision making.

Consider a firm that has just built a plant, which cost $1,000. Each worker costs $5.00 per hour. Based on this information, fill in the table below.

Smoky Mountain Corporation makes two types of hiking boots—the Xtreme and the Pathfinder. Data concerning these two product lines appear below:

The company has a traditional costing system in which manufacturing overhead is applied to units based on direct labor-hours. Data concerning manufacturing overhead and direct labor-hours for the upcoming year appear below:

Required:

1. Compute the product margins for the Xtreme and the Pathfinder products under the company’s traditional costing system.

2. The company is considering replacing its traditional costing system with an activity-based costing system that would assign its manufacturing overhead to the following four activity cost pools (the Other cost pool includes organization-sustaining costs and idle capacity costs):

Compute the product margins for the Xtreme and the Pathfinder products under the activity-based costing system.

3. Prepare a quantitative comparison of the traditional and activity-based cost assignments.
