Suppose that class OrderList has a private attribute double cost[100] which hold the cost of all ordered items, and a private attributes int num_of_items which hold the number of items ordered. For example, if num_of_items is 5, then cost[0], cost[1], ..., cost[4] hold the cost of these 5 items. Implement the member function named total_cost which returns the total cost of this OrderList.

Willis Products Inc. uses the product cost concept of applying the cost-plus approach to product pricing. The costs of producing and selling 2,000 units of medical tablets are as follows:
| Variable costs per unit: | Fixed costs: | ||||||
| Direct materials | $83 | Factory overhead | $58,000 | ||||
| Direct labor | 30 | Selling and admin. exp. | 20,000 | ||||
| Factory overhead | 26 | ||||||

| Total | $160 | ||||||
Willis Products desires a profit equal to a 25% rate of return on invested assets of $116,560.

Edney Company employs a standard cost system for product costing. The per-unit standard cost of its product is:
| Raw materials | $ | 14.00 | |
| Direct labor (2 direct labor hours × $8.00 per hour) | 16.00 | ||
| Manufacturing overhead (2 direct labor hours × $10.00 per hour) | 20.00 | ||
| Total standard cost per unit | $ | 50.00 | |
The manufacturing overhead rate is based on a normal capacity level of 600,000 direct labor hours. (Normal capacity is defined as the level of capacity needed to satisfy average customer demand over a period of two to four years. Operationally, this level of capacity would take into consideration sales trends and both seasonal and cyclical factors affecting demand.) The firm has the following annual manufacturing overhead budget:
| Variable | $ | 3,665,000 | |
| Fixed | 3,000,000 | ||
| $ | 6,665,000 | ||
Edney incurred $435,950 in direct labor cost for 54,800 direct labor hours to manufacture 26,000 units in November. Other costs incurred in November include $338,000 for fixed manufacturing overhead and $373,500 for variable manufacturing overhead.
Required:
1. Determine each of the following for November. [Note: Indicate whether each variance is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U).]
a. The variable overhead spending variance.
b. The variable overhead efficiency variance.
c. The fixed overhead spending (budget) variance.
d. The fixed overhead production volume variance.
e. The total amount of under- or overapplied manufacturing overhead (i.e., the total manufacturing overhead cost variance for the period).

In the book Advanced Managerial Accounting, Robert P.
Magee discusses monitoring cost variances. A cost variance
is the difference between a budgeted cost and an actual cost. Magee
describes the following situation:
Michael Bitner has responsibility for control of two
manufacturing processes. Every week he receives a cost variance
report for each of the two processes, broken down by labor costs,
materials costs, and so on. One of the two processes, which we'll
call process A , involves a stable, easily controlled
production process with a little fluctuation in variances. Process
B involves more random events: the equipment is more
sensitive and prone to breakdown, the raw material prices fluctuate
more, and so on.
"It seems like I'm spending more
of my time with process B than with process A,"
says Michael Bitner. "Yet I know that the probability of an
inefficiency developing and the expected costs of inefficiencies
are the same for the two processes. It's just the magnitude of
random fluctuations that differs between the two, as you can see in
the information below."
"At present, I investigate
variances if they exceed $2,931, regardless of whether it was
process A or B. I suspect that such a policy is
not the most efficient. I should probably set a higher limit for
process B."
The means and standard deviations of the cost variances of processes A and B, when these processes are in control, are as follows: (Round final answers to 4 decimal places.):
| Process A | Process B | |
| Mean cost variance (in control) | $ 0 | $ 0 |
| Standard deviation of cost variance (in control) | $5,271 | $10,270 |
Furthermore, the means and standard deviations of the cost
variances of processes A and B, when these
processes are out of control, are as follows:
| Process A | Process B | |
| Mean cost variance (out of control) | $7,400 | $ 7,381 |
| Standard deviation of cost variance (out of control) | $5,271 | $10,270 |
(a) Recall that the current policy is to investigate a cost variance if it exceeds $2,931 for either process. Assume that cost variances are normally distributed and that both Process A and Process B cost variances are in control. Find the probability that a cost variance for Process A will be investigated. Find the probability that a cost variance for Process B will be investigated. Which in-control process will be investigated more often.

(b) Assume that cost variances are normally
distributed and that both Process A and Process B
cost variances are out of control. Find the probability that a cost
variance for Process A will be investigated. Find the
probability that a cost variance for Process B will be
investigated. Which out-of-control process will be investigated
more often.

B is investigated more often.
(c) If both Processes A and B
are almost always in control, which process will be investigated
more often.
(Click to select) Process A Process
B will be investigated more often.
(d) Suppose that we wish to reduce the probability
that Process B will be investigated (when it is in
control) to .2877. What cost variance investigation policy should
be used? That is, how large a cost variance should trigger an
investigation? Using this new policy, what is the probability that
an out-of-control cost variance for Process B will be
investigated?
