Job Costs Using a Plantwide Overhead Rate

Naranjo Company designs industrial prototypes for outside companies. Budgeted overhead for the year was $250,000, and budgeted direct labor hours were 20,000. The average wage rate for direct labor is expected to be $25 per hour. During June, Naranjo Company worked on four jobs. Data relating to these four jobs follow:

Job 39 Job 40 Job 41 Job 42
Beginning balance $22,700 $35,900 $17,500 $1,700
Materials requisitioned 20,200 21,400 11,800 12,100
Direct labor cost 11,300 18,500 6,450 3,000

Overhead is assigned as a percentage of direct labor cost. During June, Jobs 39 and 40 were completed; Job 39 was sold at 125 percent of cost. (Naranjo had originally developed Job 40 to order for a customer; however, that customer was near bankruptcy and the chance of Naranjo being paid was growing dimmer. Naranjo decided to hold Job 40 in inventory while the customer worked out its financial difficulties. Job 40 is the only job in Finished Goods Inventory.) Jobs 41 and 42 remain unfinished at the end of the month.

Required:

1. Calculate the balance in Work in Process as of June 30.

2. Calculate the balance in Finished Goods as of June 30.

3. Calculate the cost of goods sold for June.

$

4. Calculate the price charged for Job 39. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Problem 16A Payoff Tables

Based on the cost model and payoff table provided, determine the average payoff strategy, aggressive, and conservative recommendation. Remember that this payoff table is based on cost so you will want to recommend decisions under each strategy which minimize cost.

Enter your answer in the table by stating whether manufacturing or outsources would be the best choice for each strategy and the value associated with that option.

7. The short-run supply curve for a firm in a perfectly competitive market
(x) is determined, in part, by the comparison of marginal costs and marginal revenue for the firm.
(y) is reflected in that part of the marginal cost curve that lies above the average variable cost curve.
(z) will be influenced by fixed costs.

B. (x) and (y) only
C. (x) and (z) only
D. (y) and (z) only
E. (x) only


8. At the current level of output, a profit-maximizing firm in a competitive market earns average revenue of $48, and has an average total cost of $43. If the firm's marginal cost curve is equal to its average total cost curve at an output level of 40,000 units, then the firm would earn a profit of _________ at its current level of output.
A. exactly $200,000
B. less than $200,000
C. more than $200,000
D. Any of the above
E. None of the above


9. A competitive firm (price-taker) is able to sell its output for $10 per unit. The 1,000th unit of output that the firm produces has a marginal cost of $12. It follows that the production and sale of the 1,000th unit of output
(x) increases the firm’s total revenue by $10, but increases the firm’s total cost by $12.
(y) decreases the firm’s profit by $2 since price is less than marginal cost by $2.
(z) indicates that the firm should necessarily shut down in the short run since marginal cost exceeds marginal revenue at the output amount of 1,000 units.

1. An important application of regression analysis in accounting is in the estimation of cost. By collecting data on volume and cost and using the least squares method to develop an estimated regression equation relating volume and cost, an accountant can estimate the cost associated with a particular manufacturing volume. Consider the following sample of production volumes and total cost data for a manufacturing operation.

Production Volume (units) Total Cost ($)
400 5,000
450 6,000
550 6,400
600 6,900
700 7,400
750 8,000
  1. Compute b1 and b0 (to 1 decimal).

  3. Compute the coefficient of determination (to 3 decimals). Note: report r2 between 0 and 1.
    r2 =

    What percentage of the variation in total cost can be explained by the production volume (to 1 decimal)?
    %
  4. The company's production schedule shows 500 units must be produced next month. What is the estimated total cost for this operation (to the nearest whole number)?
