n February 2020, Oriole Construction signed a contract and commenced construction on a parking garage. The total contract price was $91.0 million and was expected to be completed in July 2022 at a total estimated cost of $82.4 million. Payment by the customer was to be made in several stages, based on significant events and dates throughout the construction timeline. Based on the terms of the contract with the customer, control over the parking garage (i.e. ownership) does not transfer to the customer until completion. Oriole’s year-end was September 30 and follows ASPE.

By the end of September, 2020, Oriole had incurred $8,240,000 in costs and had invoiced $10,600,000 in progress billings. $8,200,000 of the progress billings had been collected.

By September 30, 2021, Oriole had incurred $43,230,000 in total costs and had invoiced $45,400,000 in progress billings, including the progress billings in 2020. Of the total billings, $30,600,000 in total had been collected. Also, Oriole reviewed its cost estimates on the project, and now believed the parking garage would cost $78.6 million in total to complete.

6. If Job Q included 30 units, what was its unit product cost? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar.)

7. Assume that Sweeten Company used cost-plus pricing (and a markup percentage of 80% of total manufacturing cost) to establish selling prices for all of its jobs. What selling price would the company have established for Jobs P and Q? What are the selling prices for both jobs when stated on a per unit basis assuming 20 units were produced for Job P and 30 units were produced for Job Q? (Do not round intermediate calculations.

  1. Contribution margin is useful in determining whether a company’s fixed costs are covered.
    • Test Your Understanding: A machine for manufacturing a new lipstick product costs a makeup company $10,000. Manufacturing one tube of lipstick requires
      • $0.50 worth of raw materials like wax, shea butter, dyes, and plastic for the tube;
      • $0.20 of electricity to run the machine to produce one tube; and
      • $0.30 worth of labor to make one tube of lipstick
        1. What represents this company’s fixed costs?
        2. What is the variable cost per unit of lipstick?
      • If a total of 10,000 tubes of lipstick are manufactured using the current variable costs
        1. What are the total fixed costs for manufacturing the 10,000 tubes?
        2. What are the total variable costs for manufacturing the 10,000 tubes?

Design an Inventory class that can hold information for an item in a retail store’s inventory.

C++! Becareful following the test case.

7. Inventory Class
Design an Inventory class that can hold information for an item in a retail store’s inventory.
The class should have the following private member variables.

Variable Name   Description
itemNumber   An int that holds the item’s number.
quantity               An int that holds the quantity of the item on hand.
cost    A double that holds the wholesale per-unit cost of the item


The class should have the following public member functions


Member Function               Description
default constructor             Sets all the member variables to 0.
constructor #2                    Accepts an item’s number, quantity, and cost as arguments. Calls other class functions to copy these values into the appropriate member variables. Then calls the setTotalCost function.

setItemNumber      Accepts an int argument and copies it into the itemNumber member variable.
setQuantity             Accepts an int argument and copies it into the quantity member variable.
setCost   Accepts a double argument and copies it into the cost member variable.
getItemNumber     Returns the value in itemNumber.
getQuantity             Returns the value in quantity.
getCost                 Returns the value in cost.
getTotalCost   Computes and returns the totalCost.


Demonstrate the class by writing a simple program that uses it. This program should validate
the user inputs to ensure that negative values are not accepted for item number, quantity, or cost.


Here, your objective is to Create three objects and display their contents. See the following code segment. Here is detail explaination.

1. You create the First object which uses the default constructor. The default constructor initializes all data to 0. You can use the following code to do this.

Inventory part1; // This uses default constructor

2. Second object is created and initialized with the programmer hard coded data as follows:

int i = 1234;

int q = 10;
double p = 2.5;

Inventory part2(i, q, p);

3. To create the third object, you need to collect the data from the user. Once you collect the data from the user, insert this data into the object.

Once you create all the above three objects, all you have to do is to display the contents of the object.

Here are the test cases:

Test Case1:


Enter data for the new item
Item number: 123
Quantity: 30
Price: 20


Part Number : 0
Units On Hand : 0
Price : $0.00
Total Cost : $0.00

Total Cost : $25.00


Part Number : 123

Total Cost : $600.00


Test Case2:

Enter data for the new item
Item number: 342
Quantity: -2
Value must be greater than zero: 50
Price: -20
Value must be greater than zero: 30


Part Number : 0
Units On Hand : 0
Price : $0.00
Total Cost : $0.00


Part Number : 1234
Units On Hand : 10
Price : $2.50
Total Cost : $25.00


Part Number : 342
Units On Hand : 50
Price : $30.00
Total Cost : $1500.00

Expand Your Critical Thinking 24-02 a-d Ana Carillo and Associates is a medium-sized company located near a large metropolitan area in the Midwest. The company manufactures cabinets of mahogany, oak, and other fine woods for use in expensive homes, restaurants, and hotels. Although some of the work is custom, many of the cabinets are a standard size. One such non-custom model is called Luxury Base Frame. Normal production is 1,000 units. Each unit has a direct labor hour standard of 5 hours. Overhead is applied to production based on standard direct labor hours. During the most recent month, only 1,060 units were produced; 4,500 direct labor hours were allowed for standard production, but only 4,000 hours were used. Standard and actual overhead costs were as follows.
