The following information for the past year is available from Thinnews Co., a company that uses machine hours to apply factory overhead:

1. The variable overhead spending variance is:

2. Under a three-variance breakdown (decomposition) of the total factory overhead variance, the total factory overhead spending variance is:

3. Under a two-variance breakdown (decomposition) of the total factory overhead variance, the total flexible-budget variance is:

In the early 20th century, the French Canadian microbiologist Félix d’Hérelle used a virus called a bacteriophage (“phage”) to successfully treat some diseases caused by bacteria, such as dysentery and cholera. Subsequent experiments with “phage therapy” yielded mixed results; however, and enthusiasm quickly waned—especially once antibiotics became available in the 1940s. The therapy is not currently approved in the United States.

Phage therapy involves obtaining a pure culture of a disease-causing bacterium and exposing samples of the culture to different phages to see which ones kill the bacterium. The successful phage is then administered to a patient. For skin infections, the phage is applied directly to the infected area. For systemic diseases, the phage may be given orally or delivered intravenously.

Imagine you are part of a hospital medical team conveyed to treat Jerry, a 71-year-old diabetic patient, who has been suffering from a persistent infection on his foot. His doctor has tried multiple topical antibiotics, but the infection continues to worsen, so the doctor admitted him to your hospital for a new intravenous antibiotic treatment. To Jerry’s relief, the infection cleared up; however, two weeks later, the infection returned—worse than ever. Jerry’s doctor explains that the bacterium causing the infection is a multidrug resistant strain and that Jerry’s foot will need to be amputated.

Jerry’s sister, a nurse, mentions that she studied bacteriophages and asks the doctor whether phage therapy is a treatment option.

As a member of Jerry’s medical team, answer these questions:

• How would you respond to Jerry’s sister?

• Which type of phage would be used for phage therapy: a lytic or a lysogenic phage?

• What are the drawbacks of phage therapy? What are the advantages?

   Required:

   1. Record the inventory, purchases, and cost of goods sold data in a perpetual inventory record similar to the one illustrated in Exhibit 4, using the last-in, first-out method. Under LIFO, if units are in inventory at two different costs, enter the units with the HIGHER unit cost first in the Cost of Goods Sold Unit Cost column and LOWER unit cost first in the Inventory Unit Cost column.

   1. When the perpetual inventory system is used, revenue is recorded each time a sale is made along with an entry to record the cost of the goods sold. LIFO means the last units purchased are assumed to be the first to be sold. Therefore after each sale, the remaining or ending inventory is made up of the first or earliest purchases. Think of your inventory in terms of "layers." The first sale comes from the most recent purchase layer. When deciding which layer to use for costing of each sale ask yourself: "Is there enough inventory left in the most recent purchase to cover the sale?" If not, the other units sold should be taken from the second most recent purchase layer, which then contains the most recent costs. Continue this process for each transaction. If you have done this problem correctly, the remaining units making up ending inventory will be costed at the April 3 beginning inventory and the May 28 unit purchase price.

   2. Total sales are obtained by taking the number of units sold times their sale prices for all sales and adding these amounts together. The total cost of goods sold can be obtained by adding the LIFO costs in the perpetual inventory record. Sales minus cost of goods sold equals gross profit.

   3. The ending inventory is what is left after subtracting the cost of goods sold from the goods available for sale. Multiply the units remaining after the last sale by their corresponding earliest layer cost to determine the LIFO cost of the ending inventory.

1.

A) If a company makes 100 units of product, the allocated fixed cost per unit is $5

and the variable cost per unit is $6. What will be the per-unit total cost (fixed plus

variable cost) if the company makes 200 units?

B) At a production and sales level of 1,000 units, the company’s costs are as follows:

Variable manufacturing costs per unit $20

Allocated fixed manufacturing cost per unit $10

Variable selling costs per unit $ 5

Allocated fixed selling costs per unit $ 3

How much would the company have to spend in total (total cash outlay for both

fixed and variable costs), if it makes 1,200 units and sells 200 units (so that 1,000

units are in ending inventory at the end of the period)?

2.: Describe each of the following costs as either fixed, variable, or semi-variable (i.e.,

mixed)

34

A) The cost is $500 per unit at a production level of 50 units, and $500 per unit at a

production level of 100 units.

B) The cost is $500 in total at a production level of 50 units, and $1,000 in total at a

production level of 100 units.

C) The cost is $500 in total at a production level of 5 units, and $100 per unit at a

production level of 10 units.

3.: In general, and within the relevant range, as production increases:

(A) Per unit fixed costs and per unit variable costs both stay the same.

(B) Per unit variable costs go down, and per unit fixed costs stay the same.

(C) Per unit fixed costs go down, and per unit variable costs stay the same.

(D) Per unit fixed costs and total variable costs both stay the same.

Grainy Goodness Company

Grainy Goodness Company manufactures granola cereal by a series of three processes, beginning materials such as oats, sweeteners, and nuts being introduced in the Mixing Department. From the Mixing Department, the materials pass through the Baking and Packaging departments, emerging as boxed granola cereal ready for shipment to retail outlets. Direct materials are added at the beginning of each process, and conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout production in each department.

During March, the President and sole stockholder, Jonathan Groat, reviewed the Cost of Production Report for the Mixing Department. He is concerned that the Mixing Department may not be operating efficiently, and asks for your help.

Cost of Production

Jonathan has noticed that his production manager has omitted some of the data on the Cost of Production. Determine the missing information. If there is no amount or an amount is zero, enter "0". Round your per-unit computations to the nearest cent, if required.

February Cost Analysis

Determine the cost per unit of direct materials and for conversion for the month of February using the completed data on the Cost of Production. Round your per-unit computations to the nearest cent, if required.

March Cost Analysis

Determine the cost per unit of direct materials and for conversion for the month of March using the completed data on the Cost of Production. Round your per-unit computations to the nearest cent, if required.

Mixing Dept. Evaluation

After reviewing your work on the February Cost Analysis and March Cost Analysis, assist Jonathan Groat in evaluating the Mixing Department’s performance by answering the following questions:

In March, was the Mixing Department’s total cost per unit higher or lower than in February?

For which component was the cost per unit for March higher than in February?

What is most probably your recommendation to Jonathan Groat given your computations?

Journal

On March 31, using the data provided on the Cost of Production, journalize the entry to move the appropriate amount of cost from the Mixing Department to the Baking Department. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
