Problem 9-62 and 9-63 (Algo)

PART ONE

Cain Components manufactures and distributes various plumbing products used in homes and other buildings. Over time, the production staff has noticed that products they considered easy to make were difficult to sell at margins considered reasonable, while products that seemed to take a lot of staff time were selling well despite recent price increases. A summer intern has suggested that the cost system might be providing misleading information.

The controller decided that a good summer project for the intern would be to develop, in one self-contained area of the plant, an alternative cost system with which to compare the current system. The intern identified the following cost pools and, after discussion with some plant personnel, appropriate cost drivers for each pool. There were:

Cost Pools Costs Activity Drivers
Receiving $ 600,000 Direct material cost
Manufacturing 5,500,000 Machine-hours
Machine setup 900,000 Production runs
Shipping 1,000,000 Units shipped

In this particular area, Cain produces two of its many products: Standard and Deluxe. The following are data for production for the latest full year of operations.

Products
Standard Deluxe
Total direct material costs $ 150,000 $ 250,000
Total direct labor costs $ 650,000 $ 440,000
Total machine-hours 112,000 138,000
Total number of setups 170 30
Total pounds of material 8,500 18,500
Total direct labor-hours 6,950 4,700
Number of units produced and shipped 19,000 6,000

a. The current cost accounting system charges overhead to products based on machine-hours. What unit product costs will be reported for the two products if the current cost system continues to be used? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round "Unit cost" answers to 2 decimal places.)

Standard Deluxe
Direct Costs $ $
Overhead $ $
Total Costs $ $
Number of Units
Unit Cost $ $

b. The intern suggests an ABC system using the cost drivers identified above. What unit product costs will be reported for the two products if the ABC system is used? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round "Unit cost" answers to 2 decimal places.)

Standard Deluxe
Direct Costs $ $
Overhead:
Receiving $ $
Manufacturing $ $
Machine Setup $ $
Shipping $ $
Total Costs $ $
Number of Units
Unit Cost $ $

PART TWO

The intern decides to look more closely at the manufacturing activity and determines that it can be broken down into two activities: production and engineering. Production covers the costs of ongoing manufacturing while engineering includes those activities dealing with engineering changes, design modifications, and so on.

The costs attributed to production are $10,526,400 and the costs attributed to engineering are $10,092,000. After discussion with plant engineers, the intern decides that the best cost driver for engineering is setups, because most of the work arises from changes in the way the product is run.

c. Compute the totals of the cost driver rates shown below. (Round intermediate calculations and "Manufacturing" answer to 2 decimal places.)

Receiving . % of material dollars
Production . Per Machine-Hour
Engineering . Per Setup
Machine Setup Per Setup
Shipping Per Unit

d. What unit product costs will be reported for the two products if the revised ABC system is used? (Round "Unit cost" answers to 2 decimal places.)

Direct Costs $ $
Overhead:
Receiving $ $
Production $ $
Engineering $ $

Hugle Corporation's activity-based costing system has three activity cost pools-Machining, Setting Up, and Other. The company's overhead costs have already been allocated to these cost pools as follows:

Machining $ 15, 200
  Setting up $ 44,800  
  Other $ 16,000  

Costs in the Machining cost pool are assigned to products based on machine-hours (MHs) and costs in the Setting Up cost pool are assigned to products based on the number of batches. Costs in the Other cost pool are not assigned to products. The following table shows the machine-hours and number of batches associated with each of the company's two products:

MHs Batches
  Product E8 2,000 800
  Product V8 8,000 200
  Total 10,000 1,000   

Additional data concerning the company's products appears below:

Product E8 Product V8
  Sales (total) $ 220,700 $ 165,500
  Direct materials (total) $ 78,600 $ 83,100
  Direct labor (total) $ 89,600 $ 58,000

Required:
a. Calculate activity rates for each activity cost pool using activity-based costing.(5 points)

b. Determine the amount of overhead cost that would be assigned to each product using activity-based costing. (8 points)

c. Determine the product margins for each product using activity-based costing. (7 points)

A firm in a competitive market is a price taker (recall that this is true for every firm and every customer in a perfectly competitive market). For this example, the market equilibrium price is $6. The firm’s total cost (TC) function is made up of Fixed Cost (FC, which does not vary with quantity) and Variable Cost (VC, which does vary with quantity). The TC function for this firm is: TC = 10 + 2Q – 0.2Q2 + 0.01Q3 a) Find the equation for the marginal cost curve (MC). Recall that MC = TC/Q. b) Find the equation for the Average Variable Cost (AVC). Recall that AVC = VC/Q. c) Find the equation for the Average Total Cost (ATC). Recall that ATC = TC/Q. d) Find the fixed cost. Recall that Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost. e) Find the Q at which profit is maximized. Recall that this point is where Marginal Revenue ($6, the unit price of the good) is equal to Marginal Cost (for which you found the formula in part a). f) At the profit maximizing point, find the economic revenue (TR – TC at the profit maximizing Q). g) Find the shutdown price, where the Marginal Cost curve intersects the AVC curve (MC= AVC) and the AVC curve is at its lowest point (AVC/Q = 0).

Problem 2-19 Multiple Predetermined Overhead Rates; Applying Overhead [LO2-1, LO2-2, LO2-4]

High Desert Potteryworks makes a variety of pottery products that it sells to retailers. The company uses a job-order costing system in which departmental predetermined overhead rates are used to apply manufacturing overhead cost to jobs. The predetermined overhead rate in the Molding Department is based on machine-hours, and the rate in the Painting Department is based on direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company provided the following estimates:

Department
Molding Painting
Direct labor-hours 34,500 52,600
Machine-hours 80,000 38,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 152,000 $ 473,400
Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $ 3.00 -
Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour - $ 5.00

Job 205 was started on August 1 and completed on August 10. The company's cost records show the following information concerning the job:

Department
Molding Painting
Direct labor-hours 89 127
Machine-hours 310 73
Direct materials $ 948 $ 1,160
Direct labor cost $ 740 $ 970

Required:

1. Compute the predetermined overhead rates used in the Molding Department and the Painting Department.

2. Compute the total overhead cost applied to Job 205.

3-a. What would be the total manufacturing cost recorded for Job 205?
