Marine, Inc., manufactures a product that is available in both a flexible and a rigid model. The company has made the rigid model for years; the flexible model was introduced several years ago to tap a new segment of the market. Since introduction of the flexible model, the company’s profits have steadily declined, and management has become concerned about the accuracy of its costing system. Sales of the flexible model have been increasing rapidly.

Overhead is applied to products on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the current year, management estimated that $600,000 in overhead costs would be incurred and the company would produce and sell 1,000 units of the flexible model and 10,000 units of the regular model. The flexible model requires 2.0 hours of direct labor time per unit, and the regular model requires 1.0 hours. Direct materials and labor costs per unit are given below:

Flexible Rigid
Direct materials cost per unit $ 110.00 $ 80.00
Direct labor cost per unit $ 30.00 $ 15.00

Required:   

1-a. Compute the predetermined overhead rate using direct labor-hours as the basis for allocating overhead costs to products.

1-b. Compute the unit product cost for one unit of each model.

2. An intern suggested that the company use activity-based costing to cost its products. A team was formed to investigate this idea. It came back with the recommendation that four activity cost pools be used. These cost pools and their associated activities are listed as follows:

Expected Activity
Activity Cost Pool and Activity Measure Estimated Overhead Cost Flexible Rigid Total
Purchase orders (number of orders) $ 20,000 100 300 400
Rework requests (number of requests) 10,000 60 140 200
Product testing (number of tests) 210,000 900 1,200 2,100
Machine related (machine-hours) 360,000 1,500 2,500 4,000
$ 600,000

Compute the activity rate for each of the activity cost pools.     

3-a. Using activity-based costing, determine the total amount of overhead that would be assigned to each model for the year.

3-b. Using activity-based costing, compute the unit product cost for one unit of each model.

CHAPTER 2-4

Exercise 2.24

In this exercise, we examine the effect of combining investments with positively correlated risks, negatively correlated risks, and uncorrelated risks. A firm is considering a portfolio of assets. The portfolio is comprised of two assets, which we will call ''A" and "B." Let X denote the annual rate of return from asset A in the following year, and let Y denote the annual rate of return from asset B in the following year. Suppose that

E(X) = 0.15 and E(Y) = 0.20,

SD(X) = 0.05 and SD(Y) = 0.06,

and CORR(X, Y) = 0.30.

(a) What is the expected return of investing 50% of the portfolio in asset A and 50% of the portfolio in asset B? What is the standard deviation of this return?

(b) Replace CORR(X, Y) = 0.30 by CORR(X, Y) = 0.60 and answer the questions in part (a). Do the same for CORR(X, Y) = 0.60, 0.30, and 0.0.

(c) (Spreadsheet Exercise). Use a spreadsheet to perform the following analysis. Suppose that the fraction of the portfolio that is invested in asset B is f, and so the fraction of the portfolio that is invested in asset A is (1 f). Letting f vary from f = 0.0 to f = 1.0 in increments of 5% (that is, f = 0.0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, . . . ), compute the mean and the standard deviation of the annual rate of return of the portfolio (using the original data for the problem). Notice that the expected return of the portfolio varies (linearly) from 0.15 to 0.20, and the standard deviation of the return varies (non-linearly) from 0.05 to 0.06. Construct a chart plotting the standard deviation as a function of the expected return.

(d) (Spreadsheet Exercise). Perform the same analysis as in part (c) with CORR (X, Y) = 0.30 replaced by CORR(X, Y) = 0.60, 0.0, 0.30, and 0.60.

Exercise 2.38

Ninety percent of residential gas customers in Illinois use gas for residential heating. Sixteen residential gas customers are randomly selected to participate in a panel discussion for a state energy fair. A gas industry executive is hopeful that at least twelve of the panel members, i.e., 75%, will come from homes in which gas is used for residential heating. If you were the executive's assistant, what degree of assurance could you give the executive that her 75% goal might be reached or exceeded?

Solute concentration is defined as the amount of the solute present in a given volume of solution. The concentrations of solutes in a solution are key to their ability to produce physiological actions. One measure of the amount of a substance is its mass expressed in grams. The unit of volume in the metric system is a liter (L). The concentration of a solute in a solution can then be expressed as the number of grams of a substance present in any one liter of solution (g/L). A comparison of the concentrations of two different substances on the basis of the number of grams per liter of solution does not directly indicate how many molecules of each substance are present. Thus, concentrations are expressed based upon the number of solute molecules in solution, using a measure called the molecular weight. One mole (mol) of a compound is the amount of the compound in grams equal to its molecular weight. One mole of solute dissolved in a liter of water is known as a 1 molar solution (1 mol/L).
To practice calculating molecular weight and examining the relationship between volume and solute variations, complete the following exercises.

First, calculate the molarity of a 2 L solution with five different amounts of solute (20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 g). The solute for this activity is glucose with a molecular weight of 180 daltons. Round all of your calculations to the nearest hundredth for credit.
Then plot each of these data points by clicking to select the amount of solute from the "Tools" section at right and then clicking on the exact location on the graph corresponding to your calculations. If you wish to change your data point on the graph after first placement, you can double click the data point and adjust the values.

Second, calculate the molarity for five different solution volumes (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 L) each with 80 grams of solute. The solute for this activity is glucose with a molecular weight of 180 daltons. Round all of your calculations to the nearest hundredth for credit.
Then plot each of these data points by clicking to select the final total volume from the "Tools" section at right and then clicking on the exact location on the graph corresponding to your calculations. If you wish to change your data point on the graph after first placement, you can double click the data point and adjust the values.

Crawford Company is a family-run business that manufacturers steering wheels for self-driving cars. Crawford makes both a standard wheel which is similar to traditional car steering wheels and a deluxe model which is larger to allow a human driver to easily reach over and take control over the automated system. The company has been using a plant-wide overhead rate based on direct labor hours to allocate its overhead to each model. LeeAnn Lucky, the new controller, is convinced that an activity-based costing system will provide better information about the costs and profitability of each model which should lead to better decisions about whether the company should focus on one model or the other. She has pulled the following information about overhead costs from the past year and inserted activity-based costing (ABC) information:  

Activity Allocation Base Activity Cost Allocation Rate
Materials handling Number of parts $4.50 per part
Machine setup Number of setups $325.00 per setup
Inspection of parts Number of parts $31.00 per part
Finishing Finishing direct labor hours $51.00


Standard Deluxe
Parts per wheel 4.0 6.0
Setups per 1,000 wheels 20.0 20
Finishing direct labor hours per wheel 1.0 3.0
Total direct labor hours per wheel 2.7 3.8

The company's managers expect to produce 1,000 units of each model during the upcoming year. Answer the following questions. Each question is worth 1 point.

1. Compute the total budgeted manufacturing overhead cost for the upcoming year using ABC costing information.

2. Compute the manufacturing overhead cost per wheel of the standard model using Activity-Based Costing.

3. Compute the manufacturing overhead cost per deluxe wheel using Crawford's traditional plant-wide overhead rate.  

4. If Crawford continues with the traditional method of allocating manufacturing overhead based on direct labor hours instead of switching to the Activity-Based Costing system, by how much will the Deluxe wheel line be over- or under-costed per unit? Enter an under-costed amount as a negative number and an over-costed amount as a positive number.

Project 2: The Triangle Class

Problem Description:

Design a class named Triangle that extends GeometricObject. The class contains:

• Three double data fields named side1, side2, and side3 with default values 1.0 to denote three sides of the triangle.

• A no-arg constructor that creates a default triangle.

• A constructor that creates a triangle with the specified side1, side2, and side3.

• The accessor methods for all three data fields.

• A method named getArea() that returns the area of this triangle.

• A method named getPerimeter() that returns the perimeter of this triangle.

• A method named toString() that returns a string description for the triangle.

For the formula to compute the area of a triangle, see Exercise 5.19. The toString() method is implemented as follows:

return "Triangle: side1 = " + side1 + " side2 = " + side2 +   " side3 = " + side3;
