Target Costing

Laser Impressions, Inc., manufactures color laser printers. Model J20 presently sells for $575 and has a total product cost of $460, as follows:

Direct materials $330
Direct labor 90
Factory overhead 40
Total $460

It is estimated that the competitive selling price for color laser printers of this type will drop to $550 next year. Laser Impressions has established a target cost to maintain its historical markup percentage on product cost. Engineers have provided the following cost-reduction ideas:

Purchase a plastic printer cover with snap-on assembly, rather than with screws. This will reduce the amount of direct labor by 9 minutes per unit.

Add an inspection step that will add six minutes per unit of direct labor but reduce the materials cost by $12 per unit.

Decrease the cycle time of the injection molding machine from four minutes to three minutes per part. Thirty percent of the direct labor and 40% of the factory overhead are related to running injection molding machines.

The direct labor rate is $38 per hour.

a. Determine the target cost for Model J20 assuming that the historical markup on product cost and selling price are maintained. Round your final answer to two decimal places.
$

b. Determine the required cost reduction. Enter as a positive number. Round your final answer to two decimal places.
$

c. Evaluate the three engineering improvements together to determine if the required cost reduction (drift) can be achieved. Enter all amounts as positive numbers. Do not round interim calculations but round your final answers to two decimal places.

1. Direct labor reduction $
2. Additional inspection $
3. Injection molding productivity improvement $

roduct Decisions Under Bottlenecked Operations

Youngstown Glass Company manufactures three types of safety plate glass: large, medium, and small. All three products have high demand. Thus, Youngstown Glass is able to sell all the safety glass that it can make. The production process includes an autoclave operation, which is a pressurized heat treatment. The autoclave is a production bottleneck. Total fixed costs are $188,000 for the company as a whole. In addition, the following information is available about the three products:

   Large    Medium    Small
Unit selling price $61 $248 $365
Unit variable cost 48 203 321
Unit contribution margin $ 13 $ 45 $ 44
Autoclave hours per unit 2 6 4
Total process hours per unit 4 12 12
Budgeted units of production 4,100 4,100 4,100

a. Determine the contribution margin by glass type and the total company income from operations for the budgeted units of production.

Large      Medium      Small      Total     
Units produced
Revenues $ $ $ $
Variable costs
Contribution margin $ $ $ $
Fixed costs
Income from operations $

b. Prepare an analysis showing which product is the most profitable per bottleneck hour. Round the "Unit contribution margin per production bottleneck hour" amounts to the nearest cent.

Large     Medium     Small    
Contribution margin $ $ $
Autoclave hours per unit
Unit contribution margin per production bottleneck hour $ $

Total Cost Method of Product Pricing

Smart Stream Inc. uses the total cost method of applying the cost-plus approach to product pricing. The costs of producing and selling 7,500 units of cell phones are as follows:

Variable costs: Fixed costs:
    Direct materials $ 75 per unit     Factory overhead $283,100
    Direct labor 35     Selling and administrative expenses 99,400
    Factory overhead 23
    Selling and administrative expenses 17
         Total variable cost per unit $150 per unit

Smart Stream desires a profit equal to a 16% return on invested assets of $791,440.

a. Determine the total cost and the total cost amount per unit for the production and sale of 7,500 units of cellular phones. Round the cost per unit to two decimal places.

Total cost amount per unit $

b. Determine the total cost markup percentage (rounded to two decimal places) for cellular phones.

Week 6
As the auditor of Komsu Air Limited (KAL) that manufactures and installs large commercial air- conditioning systems. KAL typically has two or three large contracts (ranging from $6 million to $10 million each) in progress at any one time. The contracts usually take up to six months to complete, although unexpected on-site difficulties can result in lengthy delays in completion (of up to 12 months). KAL finances its operations with a mixture of equity, long-term debt (secured by fixed assets) and short-term bank loans.
It is now May 2017 and your planning of the audit of KAL for the year ended 30 June 2017 is nearing completion. You have met with the management of KAL and, from those discussions and a review of the preliminary information provided by KAL, you have identified several issues that may have implications for the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The relevant issues are as follows:
 Competition in the industry is becoming more intense, with some customers now installing their own systems.
 KAL’s bank has requested cash flow forecasts for the coming year to support the short-term loans. It has indicated that it may need to withdraw funding or restructure debt if the forecasts are not adequate. The review of work-in-progress indicates that all the contracts in progress at year end are due for completion within six months of the balance date. There are no new contracts in place for the coming year, although management has indicated that there are orders currently being negotiated. The nature of the business is such that sales will fluctuate considerably from year to year depending on the timing of one or two large contracts.
 Assets consist chiefly of plant and equipment, some of which is specialised to the industry. Debtors are significant, but recoverability is not considered an issue as the ongoing projects are with reputable customers and management is not aware of any problems. Creditor balances are at normal levels, and the company is in a positive working capital position.
 Included in provisions is a large provision for warranty for one of KAL’s jobs completed at a hotel two years ago. It appears that the air-conditioning system is still not working and the hotel is now requesting a substantial refund of the contract price.
Required:
Explain whether you believe the area of going concern should be assessed as high risk for KAL’s audit for the year ended 30 June 2017.
