A manufacturing company employs job order costing to account for its costs. There are two production departments, and separate departmental overhead application rates are employed because the operations of the departments are distinct. All jobs generally pass through both production departments. Data regarding the hourly direct labor rates, overhead application rates, and three jobs on which work was done during the month appear below. Job 101 and Job 102 were completed during the current month. (CIA Examination adapted)

Assume that a bus company increased costs and fears that it will make a loss. What should it do, if to rise the fares may be a wrong policy.
To help it decide what to do it commissions a survey to estimate passenger demand at three different fares: the current face of 10c per km, a higher fare of 12c per km, and a lower fare of 8c. The results of the survey are shown in the first two columns:

Fares Estimated Demand Total Revenue Old total cost New total cost
8 6 480000 360000 440000
10 4 400000 360000 440000
12 3 360000 360000 440000

Demand turns to be elastic. TR can be increased by reducing the price from current 10 to 8$.

What will happen to the company profits? Its profit is the difference between the total revenue from passengers and its total costs of operating the service. If buses are currently under-utilised , then is possible that the extra passengers can be carried without the need for extra buses with no extra cost..

At the fare of 10c , old profit was 40000. After the rase, a 10c now gives a loss of 40.000$. By raising the fare to 12c- loss increased to 80000$.

Questions:

1) Estimate the price elasticity of demand between 8c and 10c and between 10c and 12c. Show all detailed calculations.

2) 10c fare the best fare originally? Explain your answer detailed.

3) If the company considers lowering the fare to 6c and estimates the demand will be 8.5 million passenger km. What is your opinion, it is good idea? How should it decide?

Wesley power tools manufactures a wide variety of tools and accessories. One of its more popular items is a cordless power handisaw. Each handisaw for $60. Wesley expects the following unit sales:
January: 5200
February: 5400
March: 5900
April: 5700
May: 5100
Wesley's ending finished goods inventory policy is 20% over the next month sales. Suppose each handsaw takes approximately .75 hours to manufacture, and Wesley pays an average labor wage of $22 per hour.
Each handsaw requires a plastic housing that Wesley purchases from my supplier at a cost of $7 each. The company has an ending raw materials inventory policy of 20% of the following months production requirements. Materials other than the housing unit total of $4.50 per handisaw.
manufacturing overhead for this product includes $72,000 annual fixed overhead (based on production of 27,000 units). and $1.20 per unit variable manufacturing overhead. Wesley selling expenses are 7% of sales dollars, and administrative expenses are fixed at $18,000 per month.

required:
1. Compute the following for the first quarter:
-budgeted sales revenue for January, February, March and first quarter total
-budgeted production in units for January, February, March, and first quarter total
-budgeted cost of raw material purchases for the plastic housings for January, February, March, and first quarter total
-budgeted direct labor cost for January, February, March, and first quarter total
