Angela and Bart are animal rights activists. Angela lived near a horse ranch owned by Chris. She told Bart that she suspected the horses were being abused because she saw people going in and out of the barn at all hours of the day and night, and suggested that they go there to investigate.

Unable to open the ranch gate, Angela and Bart climbed the fence, crossed the yard, opened the door to the barn, and stepped inside. There, they found healthy horses, but also a large amount of stolen electronic equipment.

Surprised to see intruders, Chris, who was carrying a rifle, pointed it at Angela and Bart and accidentally caused it to discharge. The bullet hit the side of the barn near Angela and Bart. The noise startled the horses. Angela and Bart fled, letting out the horses. A motorist, who was driving down the road, swerved to miss the stampeding horses, crashed into a tree, and died.

Production and Direct Labor Cost Budgets

Two-Leg Company manufactures slacks and jeans under a variety of brand names, such as Dockers® and 501 Jeans®. Slacks and jeans are assembled by a variety of different sewing operations. Assume that the sales budget for Dockers and 501 Jeans shows estimated sales of 37,050 and 68,510 pairs, respectively, for May. The finished goods inventory is assumed as follows:

Assume the following direct labor data per 10 pairs of Dockers and 501 Jeans for four different sewing operations:

a. Prepare a production budget for May. Prepare the budget in two columns: Dockers® and 501 Jeans®. For those boxes in which you must enter subtracted or negative numbers use a minus sign.

Feedback

Remember to take into account expected units to be sold, desired units in ending inventory and estimated units in beginning inventory when calculating total units to be produced.

Learning Objective 4.

b. Prepare the May direct labor cost budget for the four sewing operations, assuming a $13 wage per hour for the inseam and outerseam sewing operations and a $19 wage per hour for the pocket and zipper sewing operations. Prepare the direct labor cost budget in four columns: inseam, outerseam, pockets, and zipper.

Zume Pizza: Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis

Zume Pizza uses a combination of robots, artificial intelligence (AI), and GPS in its food trucks to deliver pizzas to customers’ houses just as the pizza is finished baking. Pizzas are actually prepared and baked in the Zume pizza truck by an employee assisted by robots. Zume Pizza started operations in April 2016 and is currently selling about 250 pizzas per day.

The pizza delivery process starts with a customer using Zume Pizza’s app to order pizza. The pizza combinations offered by Zume have been derived by analyzing customer data to offer several popular options. These preset combination recipes are programmed into Zume’s computers, so that its robots can build and bake the pizzas efficiently.

All pizza preparation and baking happens in the Zume pizza truck. Once the customer orders a pizza, a worker in the Zume food truck will toss the dough, cut the vegetables, and put on toppings. A robot will put on the pizza sauce. Each Zume pizza truck has 56 pizza ovens, which are each individually connected to the order system and the truck’s GPS. A robot will put the pizza into the designated oven exactly four minutes before the truck reaches the customer’s house. A worker will pull out the pizza when it is finished and place it into the cutter, where a robot will cut the pizza. The pizza is boxed and the pizza is delivered to the customer’s door, all within a few minutes of finishing baking. Eventually, Zume’s owners hope to use a robot to remove pizzas from the oven as well.

Assume that average selling price per pizza is about $18. To follow are estimates of costs that might be incurred by Zume Pizza in its pizza business.

Description and Cost estimate (in dollars)

• Ingredient cost per pizza: $6.00
• Truck fuel cost per delivery: $3.00
• Cost of pizza delivery truck (estimated useful life 5 years, no salvage value): $80,000
• Cost of initial software development (estimated useful life 3 years): $30,000
• Annual maintenance/update costs of software: $25,000
• Supplies cost per pizza (box, napkins, etc.): $1.00
• Cost to park pizza delivery truck per year (garage facility): $24,000
• Insurance and other regulatory costs per year: $36,000
• Cost of cofounders’ salaries per year: $150,000
• Cost to rent restaurant kitchen facility for testing and food prep (per year): $45,000
• Direct labor cost per pizza (driving truck and preparing pizza in truck): $5.00

Initial Question:

Please address the question(s) below. In your post, please support your response (why do you think so?)

From the list above, what costs would you classify as variable with respect to the cost of a Zume pizza? Are there any other variable costs you could envision that Zume might incur per pizza? Explain.

From the list above, what costs would you classify as fixed with respect to the cost of a Zume pizza? Are there any other fixed costs you could envision that Zume might incur in its pizza business? Explain.
