  1. A manufacturer of base units for home sensor protection (security, water, carbon monoxide, etc.) produces these units in a small facility in northern Indiana. The firm’s engineer has set up “assembly cells” in the facility that she believes will be the most efficient means of producing the units. The following table displays the various costs per hour for producing the units.

The Barberton Municipal division of Road Maintenance is charged with road repair in the city of Barberton and the surrounding area. Cindy​ Kramer, road maintenance​ director, must submit a staffing plan for the next year based on a set schedule for repairs and on the city budget. Kramer estimates that the labor hours required for the next four quarters are 7,000​, 12,000​, 19,500​, and 9,000​, respectively. Each of the 11 workers on the workforce can contribute 500 hours per quarter. Payroll costs are $6,000 in wages per worker for regular time worked up to 500 hours, with an overtime pay rate of $ 17 for each overtime hour. Overtime is limited to 20 percent of the​ regular-time capacity in any quarter. Although unused overtime capacity has no​ cost, unused regular time is paid at $ 12 per hour. The cost of hiring a worker is $4,000​, and the cost of laying off a worker is $2,000.

Subcontracting is not permitted. ​(Hint: When calculating the number of​ workers, make sure to round up to the next whole number before proceeding with any further​ calculations.)

a. Find a level workforce plan that relies just on overtime and the minimum amount of undertime possible. Overtime can be used to its limits in any quarter. What is the total cost of the​ plan?

b. Use a chase strategy that varies the workforce level without using overtime or undertime. What is the total cost of this​ plan?

c.

. Consider the following proposed​ plan, for a different demand​ schedule, that combines the strategy of​ hiring, layoffs, and utilizing overtime. Payroll costs are

$6,000

in wages per worker for regular time​ worked, with an overtime pay rate of

$ 17

for each overtime hour. The cost of hiring a worker is

$4,000

and the cost of laying off a worker is

$2,000.

The total cost for this plan would be

Green Furniture (GF) manufactures a variety of furniture for household use and just two items for...

Green Furniture (GF) manufactures a variety of furniture for household use and just two items for office use: desks and cabinets. The production process for desks and cabinets is similar, although machines must be retooled for each product. Both materials and labour costs are directly traceable to individual products; however, overhead is a common cost and allocated using direct labour-hours as the allocation base. GF’s accountant is considering the use of activity-based costing (ABC) and has suggested evaluating the system by applying it to the two office use products (desks and cabinets). The following data are available for a typical quarter.

Activity Cost Pool Activity Base Activity Rate Activity Usage
Desks Cabinets
Parts receipts Number of parts $ 2.00 per part 1,200 parts 800 parts
Machining Machine-hours $ 12.00 per machine-hour 120 machine-hours 180 machine-hours
Assembly Units produced $ 1.60 per unit 600 units 800 units
Quality control Units tested $ 3.00 per unit 60 units 700 units
Direct materials $ 3,000 $ 1,600
Direct labour $ 7,200 $ 7,200

Each product consumed 360 direct labour-hours.

Required:

1. Determine the total manufacturing cost and cost per unit for each of the two product lines for the quarter, using activity-based costing to allocate overhead costs. (Round "Cost per unit" answers to 2 decimal places.)

Butrico Manufacturing Corporation uses a standard cost system, records materials price variances when direct materials are...

Butrico Manufacturing Corporation uses a standard cost system, records materials price variances when direct materials are purchased, and prorates all variances at year-end. Variances associated with direct materials are prorated based on the balances of direct materials in the appropriate accounts, and variances associated with direct labor and manufacturing overhead are prorated to Finished Goods Inventory and to Cost of Goods Sold (CGS) on the basis of the relative direct labor cost in these accounts at year-end.

The following information is for the year ended December 31:

The company had no beginning inventories and no ending Work-in-Process (WIP) Inventory. It applies manufacturing overhead at 80% of standard direct labor cost.

Finished goods inventory at 12/31:
Direct materials $ 85,500
Direct labor 130,400
Applied manufacturing overhead 104,700
Direct materials inventory at 12/31 65,300
Cost of goods sold for the year ended 12/31:
Direct materials $ 352,100
Direct labor 740,600
Applied manufacturing overhead 592,500
Direct materials price variance (unfavorable) 11,100
Direct materials usage variance (favorable) 15,300
Direct labor rate variance (unfavorable) 19,900
Direct labor efficiency variance (favorable) 5,500
Actual manufacturing overhead incurred 691,300

Required:

1. Compute the amount of Direct Materials Price Variance to be prorated to Finished Goods Inventory at December 31.

2. Compute the total amount of direct materials cost in the Finished Goods Inventory at December 31, after all materials variances have been prorated.

3. Compute the total amount of direct labor cost in the Finished Goods Inventory at December 31, after all variances have been prorated.

4. Compute the total Cost of Goods Sold (CGS) for the year ended December 31, after all variances have been prorated.
