[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

Sweeten Company had no jobs in progress at the beginning of March and no beginning inventories. The company has two manufacturing departments--Molding and Fabrication. It started, completed, and sold only two jobs during March—Job P and Job Q. The following additional information is available for the company as a whole and for Jobs P and Q (all data and questions relate to the month of March):

Sweeten Company had no underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead costs during the month.

Required:

Eire Products is a specialty lubricants company. The Lake Plant produces a single product in three departments: Filtering, Blending, and Packaging. Additional materials are added in the Blending Process when units are 50 to 55 percent complete with respect to conversion. Information for operations in June in the Blending process appear as follows.

Work in process on June 1 consisted of 9,000 barrels with the following costs.

During June, 116,000 barrels were transferred in from Filtering at a cost of $150,800. The following costs were added in Blending in June.

Blending finished 115,000 barrels in June and transferred them to Packaging. At the end of June, there were 10,000 barrels in work-in-process inventory. The units were 60 percent complete with respect to conversion costs. The Blending Department uses FIFO method of process costing.  

Required: Prepare a cost of production report for Blending department for June.

Hi-Tek Manufacturing, Inc., makes two types of industrial component parts—the B300 and the T500. An absorption costing income statement for the most recent period is shown:

Hi-Tek produced and sold 60,400 units of B300 at a price of $21 per unit and 12,500 units of T500 at a price of $39 per unit. The company’s traditional cost system allocates manufacturing overhead to products using a plantwide overhead rate and direct labor dollars as the allocation base. Additional information relating to the company’s two product lines is shown below:

The company has created an activity-based costing system to evaluate the profitability of its products. Hi-Tek’s ABC implementation team concluded that $55,000 and $102,000 of the company’s advertising expenses could be directly traced to B300 and T500, respectively. The remainder of the selling and administrative expenses was organization-sustaining in nature. The ABC team also distributed the company’s manufacturing overhead to four activities as shown below:

Required:

1. Compute the product margins for the B300 and T500 under the company’s traditional costing system.

2. Compute the product margins for B300 and T500 under the activity-based costing system.

3. Prepare a quantitative comparison of the traditional and activity-based cost assignments.

Silven Industries, which manufactures and sells a highly successful line of summer lotions and insect repellents, has decided to diversify in order to stabilize sales throughout the year. A natural area for the company to consider is the production of winter lotions and creams to prevent dry and chapped skin.

After considerable research, a winter products line has been developed. However, Silven’s president has decided to introduce only one of the new products for this coming winter. If the product is a success, further expansion in future years will be initiated.

The product selected (called Chap-Off) is a lip balm that will be sold in a lipstick-type tube. The product will be sold to wholesalers in boxes of 24 tubes for $8 per box. Because of excess capacity, no additional fixed manufacturing overhead costs will be incurred to produce the product. However, a $90,000 charge for fixed manufacturing overhead will be absorbed by the product under the company’s absorption costing system.

Using the estimated sales and production of 100,000 boxes of Chap-Off, the Accounting Department has developed the following cost per box:

The costs above include costs for producing both the lip balm and the tube that contains it. As an alternative to making the tubes, Silven has approached a supplier to discuss the possibility of purchasing the tubes for Chap-Off. The purchase price of the empty tubes from the supplier would be $1.35 per box of 24 tubes. If Silven Industries accepts the purchase proposal, direct labor and variable manufacturing overhead costs per box of Chap-Off would be reduced by 10% and direct materials costs would be reduced by 25%.

3. Instead of sales of 100,000 boxes, revised estimates show a sales volume of 120,000 boxes. At this new volume, additional equipment must be acquired to manufacture the tubes at an annual rental of $40,000. Assume that the outside supplier will not accept an order for less than 120,000 boxes.

a. Calculate the total relevant cost of making 120,000 boxes and total relevant cost of buying 120,000 boxes. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Required:

1. Prepare a table indicating contribution margin, variable cost of goods sold as a percent of sales, variable selling expenses as a percent of sales, and contribution margin ratio by salesperson. Round percents to the nearest whole number. Enter all amounts as positive numbers.

Feedback

Calculate:
Column 1: Contribution margin = Total sales – (Variable cost of goods sold + Variable selling expenses)
Column 2: Variable cost of goods sold as a percent of sales = Variable cost of goods sold/Total sales
Column 3: Variable selling expenses as a percent of sales = Variable selling expenses/Total sales
Column 4: Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin/Total sales

Your manufacturing facility produces three styles of coffee tables for its customers. All three of the tables use the same Baltic birch plywood oval and then are treated differently to create the final products. The Waltons model has a natural wood finish and wooden legs. The jetsons model has aluminum sheet laminated to the wood base and aluminum legs. The Miami vice model has hot pink finish applied and black iron legs. The plywood ovals are manufactured in a process environment. Then, they are transferred to the next department where they undergo transformation into the finished products. The second department is a job-order cost environment.

Using the data on this page, prepare the process cost summary on the blank form provided. Then, using your answer from the process cost summary and other information provided, complete the job-order cost report by computing manufacturing cost per unit for each of the three models. Please not that the job order cost report is not complete – you’ll need to add some lines to arrive at your final manufacturing costs per unit.
