Teledex Company manufactures product to customers’ specification and uses a job-order costing system. The company uses a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor cost to apply its manufacturing overhead(assumed to be all fixed) to jobs. The following estimates were made at the beginning of the year. Department Fabricating Machining Assembly Total Plant Manufacturing overhead 350,000 400,000 90,000 840,000 Direct Labor 200,000 100,000 300,000 600,000 Jobs require varying amounts of work in the three departments. The coopers job, for example, would have required manufacturing costs in the three departments as follows: Department Fabricating Machining Assembly Total Plant Direct Materials 3,000 200 1,400 4,500 Direct Labor 2,800 500 9,500 Manufacturing overhead ? ? ? ? Required: 1. Using the company’s plantwide approach: a. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate for the current year. b. Determine the amount of manufacturing overhead cost that would have been applied to the coopers job 2. Suppose that instead od using a plantwide predetermined overhead rate, the company had used departmental predetermined overhead rates based on direct labor cost. Under these conditions: a. Compute the predetermined overhead rate for each department for the current year. b. Determine the amount of manufacturing overhead cost that would have been applied to the Koopers job. 3. Explain the difference between the manufacturing overhead that would have been applied to the Koopers job. 4. Assume that it is customary in the industry to bid jobs 150% of total manufacturing cost (direct materials, direct labor and applied overhead). What was the company’s bid price on the Koopers Job using a plantwide predetermined overhead rate? What would the bid price have been if departmental predetermined overhead rate had been used to apply overhead cost?

Customers arrive at a local grocery store at an average rate of 2 per minute.
(a) What is the chance that no customer will arrive at the store during a given two minute period?
(b) Since it is a “Double Coupon” day at the store, approximately 70% of the customers coming to the store carry coupons. What is the probability that during a given two-minute period there are exactly four (4) customers with coupons and one (1) without coupons?
(c) Divide one given hour into 30 two-minute periods. Suppose that the numbers of customers arriving at the store during those periods are independent of each other. Denote by X the number of the periods during which exactly 5 customers arrive at the store and 4 of them carry coupons. What is the probability that X is at least 2?
(d) What is the probability that exact 4 customers coming to the store during a given two-minute period carry coupons?

The manager of a local fast-food restaurant is concerned about customers who ask for a water cup when placing an order but fill the cup with a soft drink from the beverage fountain instead of filling it with water. The manager selected a random sample of 50 customers who asked for a water cup when placing an order and found that 8 of those customers filled the cup with a soft drink from the beverage fountain.
(a) Find the sample size, and the proportion of customers who ordered water and took a soft drink (�). Are the conditions for the normal curve satisfied? Show your calculations.
(b) Construct a 98% confidence interval for the proportion of all customers who, having asked for a water cup with their order, will fill the cup with a soft drink from the beverage fountain.
(c) If we want to cut the width of the confidence interval in half (keeping the same confidence level and assuming the sample proportion will be the same), how many customers will we have to sample?

Tennindo, Inc. is starting up its new, cost-efficient gaming system console, the yuu. Tennindo currently has 3 comma 500 cash-paying customers and makes a profit of $60 per unit. Tennindo wants to expand its customer base by allowing customers to buy on credit. It estimates that credit sales will bring in an additional 1 comma 000 customers per year, but that there will also be a default rate on credit sales of 5%. It costs $250 to make a yuu, which retails for $310. If all customers (old and new) buy on credit, what is the cost of bad debt without credit screening? What is the most Tennindo would pay for credit screening that accurately identifies bad-debt customers prior to the sale? What are the increased profits from adding credit sales for customers with and without credit screening? Should Tennindo offer credit sales if credit screening costs $10 per customer?
