Wilma Company must decide whether to make or buy some of its components. The costs of producing 60,200 switches for its generators are as follows. Direct materials $29,900 Variable overhead $45,700 Direct labor $25,990 Fixed overhead $76,000 Instead of making the switches at an average cost of $2.95 ($177,590 ÷ 60,200), the company has an opportunity to buy the switches at $2.67 per unit. If the company purchases the switches, all the variable costs and one-fourth of the fixed costs will be eliminated. Prepare an incremental analysis showing whether the company should buy the switches. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)

Mexpal Corporation manufactures two models of power drills, a standard and a deluxe model. The following activity and overhead cost information has been compiled: Number of Number of Number of Product Setups Components Direct Labor Hours Standard 15 10 800 Deluxe 35 15 400 Set-up activity Inspection Activity Overhead costs $40,000 $32,000

1. Assume a traditional costing system applies the total overhead costs (sum of set-up activity and inspection activity costs) based on direct labor hours. What is the total amount of overhead cost assigned to the Standard and Deluxe model, respectively?

2. Number of setups and number of components are identified as activity-cost drivers for the set-up activity and inspection activity, respectively. Assuming an activity-based costing system is used, what is the total amount of overhead cost assigned to the Standard and Deluxe model, respectively?

3. Mexpal hopes to reduce the overhead costs associated with the setups in the long-run keeping the production at current levels: i) By reducing the cost of performing each set up by 10% and ii) By reducing the setups for standard from 15 to 10 and for deluxe from 35 to 30. What are the expected savings in overhead costs related to setups assuming an activity-based costing system is used?

Activity-Based And Department Rate Product Costing and Product Cost Distortions

Black and Blue Sports Inc. manufactures two products: snowboards and skis. The factory overhead incurred is as follows:

Indirect labor $507,000
Cutting Department 156,000
Finishing Department 192,000
Total $855,000

The activity base associated with the two production departments is direct labor hours. The indirect labor can be assigned to two different activities as follows:

Activity Budgeted Activity Cost Activity Base
Production control $237,000 Number of production runs
Materials handling 270,000 Number of moves
Total $507,000

The activity-base usage quantities and units produced for the two products follow:

Number of Production Runs Number of Moves Direct Labor Hours-Cutting Direct Labor Hours-Finishing Units Produced
Snowboards 430 5,000 4,000 2,000 6,000
Skis 70 2,500 2,000 4,000 6,000
Total 500 7,500 6,000 6,000 12,000

Required:

1. Determine the factory overhead rates under the multiple production department rate method. Assume that indirect labor is associated with the production departments, so that the total factory overhead is $315,000 and $540,000 for the Cutting and Finishing departments, respectively. Round per unit amounts to the nearest whole cent.

Department Production Department Rate
Cutting Department $ per direct labor hour
Finishing Department $ per direct labor hour

2. Determine the total and per-unit factory overhead costs allocated to each product, using the multiple production department overhead rates in (1). Round per unit amounts to the nearest whole cent.

Product Total Factory Overhead Factory Overhead Per Unit

  1. Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) (question)

The City and County of Denver is completing a $45 million renovation of City Park Golf Course. To complete the renovation, the course has been closed to the public for 2.5 years (planned re-opening is Spring 2020). The project updated the course, built a new clubhouse that can accommodate golf and community events, resulted in a “net gain of 500 trees”, and reduced flood risk “for thousands of homes”.[1] All of these updates are expected to provide either increased revenue or reduced costs. Assume the $45 million cost was paid upfront by Denver and the following are the estimated cash receipts and disbursements associated with the project.[1] If the cost of capital is 6%, does the project make sense based on NPV and IRR over a 30-year useful life? Does your finding change if the cost of capital is actually 4%?

Feedback

Absorption costing includes all costs necessary for production. Conversely, variable costing only uses the variable costs that relate directly to the production process. Keep this in mind when calculating net income under each assumption. Depending on the cost method chosen, there will be differences due to the way fixed costs are treated under each method (absorption and variable).

Prepare a reconciliation between the two statements.
