Wildhorse Company must decide whether to make or buy some of its components. The costs of producing 68,900 switches for its generators are as follows.
Direct materials $30,200 Variable overhead $44,600
Direct labor $46,455 Fixed overhead $82,000

Instead of making the switches at an average cost of $2.95 ($203,255 ÷ 68,900), the company has an opportunity to buy the switches at $2.66 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 make or buy the switches. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)

Walton Company manufactures molded candles that are finished by hand. The company developed the following standards for a new line of drip candles:

Amount of direct materials per candle 1.70 pounds
Price of direct materials per pound $ 0.60
Quantity of labor per unit 0.90 hours
Price of direct labor per hour $ 7.10 /hour
Total budgeted fixed overhead $ 182,400

During 2017, Walton planned to produce 32,000 drip candles. Production lagged behind expectations, and it actually produced only 25,000 drip candles. At year-end, direct materials purchased and used amounted to 43,900 pounds at a unit price of $0.56 per pound. Direct labor costs were actually $6.40 per hour and 24,900 actual hours were worked to produce the drip candles. Overhead for the year actually amounted to $150,000. Overhead is applied to products using a predetermined overhead rate based on estimated units.

Required

  1. a.&b. Compute the standard cost per candle for direct materials, direct labor, overhead and also the total standard cost for one drip candle.

  2. c.&d. Compute the actual cost per candle for direct materials, direct labor, overhead and also the total actual cost per candle.

  3. e. Compute the price and usage variances for direct materials and direct labor.

  4. f. Compute the fixed cost spending and volume variances.

Modern Metalworks Company has two? departments, milling and assembly. The company uses a job costing system with a plantwide cost driver rate that is computed by dividing plantwide overhead costs by total plantwide practical capacity direct labor hours. The following cost and practical capacity estimates are for? October:

The following information pertains to job 714, which was started and completed during? October:

Requirements

(a) Determine the cost of job 714. ?

(b) Suppose that instead of using the plantwide cost driver? rate, the company uses machine hours as the cost driver for the applying overhead costs in the milling? department, and uses direct labor hours as the cost driver in the assembly department. Compute these departmental cost driver rates and determine the cost of job 714 using these rates.

(c) Using the costs you computed in parts a and b, determine the bid price that Modern Metalworks will quote under each cost system if it uses a 25% markup on total manufacturing cost.

(d) Provide reasons why Modern Metalworks might prefer the method in part a or the one in part b.
