"CVP analysis is both simple and simplistic. If you want realistic analysis to underpin your decisions, look beyond CVP analysis." Do you agree? Explain. A. CVP analysis is simple, with its assumption of output as the only revenue and cost driver, and linear revenue and cost relationships. It is not necessarily simplistic, though, since the basic ideas can be expanded upon to provide useful insights in more complex decision-making cases. This is the correct answer. B. CVP analysis is simple, with its assumption of output as the only revenue and cost driver, and linear revenue and cost relationships. Because CVP analysis is so simplistic, it provides very little value in more complex decision-making cases. Your answer is not correct. C. CVP analysis is not simple or simplistic. It's assumption of output as just one of many revenue and cost drivers, and its non-linear revenue and cost relationships creates a complexity which makes it very difficult to understand and useful only in very complex decision-making cases. D. CVP analysis is simple, with its assumption of fixed costs as the only revenue and cost driver, and linear revenue and cost relationships. It is not necessarily simplistic, though, since the basic ideas can be expanded upon to provide useful insights in more complex decision-making cases.

What is broad averaging, and what consequences can it have on costs? What is broad averaging? A. Broad averaging describes a costing approach that allocates indirect costs to cost objects based on the budgeted average indirect cost rates multiplied by the budgeted quantities of the cost-allocation bases. B. Broad averaging describes the method of calculating the average fixed manufacturing overhead cost of each unit produced or service performed. C. Broad averaging describes a costing approach that uses broad averages for assigning the cost of resources uniformly to cost objects. Your answer is correct. D. Broad averaging describes a costing system that uses direct costs to assign the cost of resources directly to cost objects. What is a possible consequence of using broad averaging to calculate unit costs? A. By ignoring the allocation of indirect costs to the cost objects, broad averaging can lead to product overcosting. B. By ignoring the variation in the consumption of resources by different cost objects, broad averaging can lead to inaccurate product costing. Your answer is correct. C. Broad averaging, which ignores actual average indirect cost rates, can lead to product overcosting or product undercosting. D. Broad averaging does not take into account variable cost components, and therefore, this method is unable to provide meaningful data when estimating costs across various levels of activity.
C. Broad averaging describes a costing approach that uses broad averages for assigning the cost of resources uniformly to cost objects. Your answer is correct. B. By ignoring the variation in the consumption of resources by different cost objects, broad averaging can lead to inaccurate product costing. Your answer is correct.
What is the relevant range? What role does the relevant-range concept play in explaining how costs behave? A. The relevant range is the band of normal activity level or volume in which there is an abnormal relationship between the level of activity or volume and the variable cost per unit. Costs are described as relevant or irrelevant with respect to a particular relevant range. B. The relevant range is the band of normal activity level or volume in which there is no relationship between the level of activity or volume and the cost in question. Costs are described as relevant or irrelevant with respect to a particular relevant range. C. The relevant range is the band of normal activity level or volume in which there is a specific relationship between the level of activity or volume and the cost in question. Costs are described as variable or fixed with respect to a particular relevant range. Your answer is correct. D. The relevant range is the band of normal activity level or volume in which there is a specific relationship between the level of activity or volume and the related fixed costs. Costs are described as direct or indirect with respect to a particular relevant range.

"In CVP analysis, gross margin is a less-useful concept than contribution margin." Do you agree? Explain briefly. A. No, gross margin calculations emphasize the distinction between fixed and variable costs. Contribution margin calculations emphasize the distinction between manufacturing and nonmanufacturing costs. Hence, gross margin is a more useful concept than contribution margin in CVP analysis. B. No, gross margin calculations emphasize the distinction between manufacturing and nonmanufacturing costs. Contribution margin calculations emphasize the distinction between fixed and variable costs. Hence, gross margin is a more useful concept than contribution margin in CVP analysis. C. Yes, gross margin calculations emphasize the distinction between manufacturing and nonmanufacturing costs. Contribution margin calculations emphasize the distinction between fixed and variable costs. Hence, contribution margin is a more useful concept than gross margin in CVP analysis. Your answer is correct. D. Yes, gross margin calculations emphasize the distinction between fixed and variable costs. Contribution margin calculations emphasize the distinction between manufacturing and nonmanufacturing costs. Hence, contribution margin is a more useful concept than gross margin in CVP analysis.
C. Yes, gross margin calculations emphasize the distinction between manufacturing and nonmanufacturing costs. Contribution margin calculations emphasize the distinction between fixed and variable costs. Hence, contribution margin is a more useful concept than gross margin in CVP analysis. Your answer is correct.
"Department indirect-cost rates are never activity-cost rates." Is this statement true or false? Explain. A. False. Department indirect-cost rates are similar to activity-cost rates if a single activity accounts for a sizable fraction of the department's costs. B. False. Department indirect-cost rates are similar to activity-cost rates if significant costs are incurred on different activities with different cost-allocation bases within a department but different products use resources from the different activity areas in the same proportions. C. False. Department indirect-cost rates are similar to activity-cost rates if significant costs are incurred on different activities within a department but each activity has the same cost-allocation base. D. All of the above. Your answer is correct. E. None of the above. This statement is true. Each department covers a broad range of activities where activity-based costing systems focus on specific activities. Therefore, department indirect-cost rates can never be activity-cost rates.
D. All of the above. Your answer is correct.
Why might an advertising agency use job costing for an advertising campaign by PepsiCo, whereas a bank might use process costing to determine the cost of checking account deposits? A. An advertising agency provides the same service to all its clients, while a bank supplies its customers with specialized services. For that reason an advertising agency would use job costing to monitor the costs of an advertising campaign by PepsiCo. B. Whenever a product or service is unique or distinct, process costing is the most efficient way to assign costs. Therefore since each banking transaction is unique, the banks use process costing to determine the cost of checking account deposits. C. Job costing can be used to compute the cost of masses of similar services, in contrast process costing enables all the specific aspects of each job to be identified individually. D. Job costing enables all the specific aspects of each job to be identified, whereas process costing can be used to compute the cost of numerous identical or similar services.
D. Job costing enables all the specific aspects of each job to be identified, whereas process costing can be used to compute the cost of numerous identical or similar services.
Distinguish planning decisions from control decisions. A. Planning decisions focus on examining past performance and systemically exploring alternative ways to make better-informed decisions and plans in the future. Control decisions focus on taking actions that implement the planning decisions, deciding how to evaluate performance, and what related feedback to provide that will help future decision making. B. Planning decisions focus on organizational goals without consideration of past performance. Control decisions focus on predicting results under various alternative ways of achieving those goals, deciding how to attain the desired goals, and deciding how to evaluate performance. C. Planning decisions are budget oriented, where control decisions focus on financial reporting. D. Planning decisions focus on selecting organization goals, predicting results under various alternative ways of achieving those goals, deciding how to attain the desired goals, and communicating the goals and how to attain them to the entire organization.Control decisions focus on taking actions that implement the planning decisions, deciding how to evaluate performance, and what related feedback to provide that will help future decision making.

E5-26 (book/static) Decorative Doors, Inc., produces two types of doors, interior and exterior. The company's simple costing system has two direct cost categories (materials and labor) and one indirect cost pool. The simple costing system allocates indirect costs on the basis of machine-hours. Recently, the owners of Decorative Doors have been concerned about a decline in the market share for their interior doors, usually their biggest seller. Information related to Decorative Doors production for the most recent year follows: Interior Exterior Units sold 3,200 1,800 Selling price $125 $200 Direct material cost per unit $30 $45 Direct manufacturing labor cost per hour $16 $16 Direct manufacturing labor-hours per unit 1.50 2.25 Production runs 40 85 Material moves 72 168 Machine setups 45 155 Machine-hours 5,500 4,500 Number of inspections 250 150 The owners have heard of other companies in the industry that are now using an activity-based costing system and are curious how an ABC system would affect their product costing decisions. After analyzing the indirect cost pool for Decorative Doors, the owners identify six activities as generating indirect costs: production scheduling, material handling, machine setup, assembly, inspection, and marketing. Decorative Doors collected the following data related to the indirect cost activities: Activity Activity Cost Activity Cost Driver Production scheduling $95,000 Production runs Material handling $45,000 Material moves Machine setup $25,000 Machine setups Assembly $60,000 Machine-hours Inspection $8,000 Number of inspections Marketing costs were determined to be 3% of the sales revenue for each type of door.
Requirement 1. Calculate the cost of an interior door and an exterior door under the existing simple costing system. Before calculating the cost of an interior and exterior door, begin by calculating the overhead rate under the simple costing system. First select the formula, then enter the applicable amounts and calculate the rate. (Round your answer to the nearest cent. Abbreviations used: bgt. = budgeted, qty = quantity.) Budgeted overhead rate Bgt. total costs in indirect cost pool ÷ Bgt. total qty of cost allocation base = Simple costing system $255,800 ÷ 10,000 = $25.58 per machine-hour Now calculate the cost of an interior door and an exterior door under the existing simple costing system. Start by calculating total costs and then calculate the cost per unit for each product. (Round interim calculations to the nearest cent and your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.) Simple costing system Interior Direct materials cost $96,000 Direct manufacturing labor cost 76,800 Indirect cost allocated 140,690 Total costs $313,490 Exterior $81,000 64,800 115,110 $260,910 Now calculate the cost per unit for each product under the simple costing system. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.) Simple costing system Interior Exterior Total cost per unit $97.97 $144.95 Requirement 2. Calculate the cost of an interior door and an exterior door under an activity-based costing system. Begin by calculating the ABC allocation rate for each activity. First select the formula, then enter the applicable amounts and calculate the rates. (Round your answers to the nearest cent. Abbreviations used: Bgt. = Budgeted, mach. = machine, mat. = material, prod. = production, sch. = scheduling, qty. = quantity.) Bgt. cost of activity ÷ Bgt. total qty. of cost allocation base = ABC allocation rate Prod. sch. $95,000 ÷ 125 = $760.00 per prod. run Mat. handling $45,000 ÷ 240 = $187.50 per mat. move Mach. setup $25,000 ÷ 200 = $125.00 per mach. setup Assembly $60,000 ÷ 10,000 = $6.00 per mach. hour Inspection $8,000 ÷ $400 = $20.00 per inspection Now calculate the cost of an interior door and an exterior door under an activity-based costing system. (Round interim calculations to the nearest cent and your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.) ABC costing system Interior Direct materials cost $96,000 Direct manufacturing labor cost 76,800 Indirect costs allocated: Production scheduling 30,400 Materials handling 13,500 Machine setup 5,625 Assembly 33,000 Inspection 5,000 Marketing 12,000 Total costs $272,325 Exterior $81,000 64,800 64,600 31,500 19,375 27,000 3,000 10,800 $302,075 Now calculate the cost per unit for each product under ABC. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.) ABC costing system Interior Exterior Total cost per unit $85.10 $167.82 Requirement 3. Compare the costs of the doors in requirements 1 and 2. Why do the simple and activity-based costing systems differ in the cost of an interior and exterior door? Relative to the ABC system, the simple costing system overcosts interior doors and undercosts exterior doors. Under the simple costing system, the volume of the production of interior doors is driving the amount of overhead allocated to the interior doors. The ABC study reveals that each exterior door requires more production runs, material moves, and setups. This is reflected in the higher indirect costs allocated to exterior doors in the ABC system. Requirement 4. How might Decorative Doors, Inc., use the new cost information from its activity-based costing system to address the declining market share for interior doors? (Select all choices that apply.) A. Decorative Doors should consider increasing the price of its exterior doors, depending on the competition it faces in this market. This is the correct answer. B. Decorative Doors, Inc. can use the information revealed by the ABC system to change its pricing based on the ABC costs. This is the correct answer. C. Decorative Doors can use the ABC information to improve its own operations. It could examine each of the indirect cost categories and analyze whether it would be possible to deliver the same level of service, but consume fewer indirect resources, or find a way to reduce the per-unit-cost-driver cost of some of those indirect resources. This is the correct answer. D. Decorative Doors, Inc. should consider decreasing the price of its exerior doors to be more competitive. E. Decorative Doors, Inc. should consider decreasing the price of its interior doors to be more competitive. This is the correct answer. F. Decorative Doors, Inc. should consider increasing the price of its interior doors depending on the competition it faces in this market.
The following items (in millions) pertain to Choice Corporation: For Specific Date For Year 2017 Work-in-process inventory, Jan. 1, 2017 $20 Plant utilities $5 Direct materials inventory, Dec. 31, 2017 6 Indirect manufacturing labor 25 Finished goods inventory, Dec. 31, 2017 11 Depreciation—plant and equipment 7 Accounts payable, Dec. 31, 2017 23 Revenues 352 Accounts receivable, Jan. 1, 2017 51 Miscellaneous manufacturing overhead 16 Work-in-process inventory, Dec. 31, 2017 8 Marketing, distribution, and customer-service costs 95 Finished goods inventory, Jan 1, 2017 49 Direct materials purchased 89 Accounts receivable, Dec. 31, 2017 33 Direct manufacturing labor 41 Accounts payable, Jan. 1, 2017 46 Plant supplies used 4 Direct materials inventory, Jan. 1, 2017 39 Property taxes on plant 3 Partial Schedule of Cost of Goods Manufactured (in millions) Direct materials used $122 Direct manufacturing labor costs 41 Total indirect manufacturing overhead costs 60 Manufacturing costs incurred during 2017 223 Add: Beginning work-in-process inventory, Jan. 1, 2017 20 Total manufacturing costs to account for 243 Less: Ending work-in-process inventory, Dec. 31, 2017 8 Cost of goods manfactured $235
Requirement 1. Calculate total prime costs and total conversion costs. Total prime costs $163 million Total conversion costs $101 million Requirement 2. Calculate total inventoriable costs and period costs. Total inventoriable costs $223 million Period costs $95 million Requirement 3. Design costs and R&D costs are not considered product costs for financial statement purposes. When might some of these costs be regarded as product costs? Give an example. A. Contracting with government agencies. For example, if the Department of Energy negotiated a project with a contractor and the design costs and R&D costs are not closely related to delivering products under the contract. B. Preparing financial statements for external reporting under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Under GAAP, design costs and R&D costs can be assigned to inventories although internal management reports must exclude these nonmanufacturing costs. C. Contracting with government agencies. For example, if the Air Force negotiated to contract with a company to build a new type of supersonic fighter plane, design costs and R&D costs may be included in the contract as product costs. This is the correct answer. D. None of the above. Design costs and R&D costs can never be regarded as product costs. Requirement 4. Suppose that both the direct materials used and the depreciation on plant and equipment are related to the manufacture of 1 million units of product. Determine the unit cost for the direct materials assigned to those units and the unit cost for depreciation on plant and equipment. Assume that yearly depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis. Begin by determining the formula used to calculate the unit cost for direct materials. Direct materials used ÷ Units = Unit cost Now calculate the unit cost for direct materials and the unit cost for depreciation on plant and equipment. Use the same logic that you used in determining the formula for direct materials unit cost, when you calculate the depreciation unit cost. (Enter unit cost in dollars. Round your answers to the nearest cent.) Direct materials used unit cost $122.00 Depreciation unit cost $7.00 Requirement 5. Assume that the implied cost-behavior patterns in requirement 4 persist. That is, direct material costs behave as a variable cost and depreciation on plant and equipment behaves as a fixed cost. Repeat the computations in requirement 4, assuming that the costs are being predicted for the manufacture of 2 million units of product. Determine the effect on total costs. Repeat the computations in requirement 4, assuming that the costs are being predicted for the manufacture of 2 million units of product. (Enter unit cost in dollars. Round your answers to the nearest cent.) Direct materials used unit cost $122.00 Depreciation unit cost $3.50 Determine the effect on total costs. Total direct materials would increase and total depreciation costs would remain unchanged. Requirement 6. Assume that depreciation on the equipment (but not the plant) is computed based on the number of units produced because the equipment deteriorates with units produced. The depreciation rate on equipment is $6.00 per unit. Calculate the depreciation on equipment assuming (a) 1 million units of product are produced and (b) 2 million units of product are produced. Begin by determining the formula used to calculate the depreciation on equipment. Depreciation rate on equipment × Units = Depreciation on equipment Calculate the depreciation on equipment assuming: (Do not round intermediary calculations. Enter answers in millions rounded to two decimal places, $X.XX million.) (a) 1 million units of product are produced, the depreciation would be $ $6 million. (b) 2 million units of product are produced, the depreciation would then be $ 12 million.
Minnesota Office Products(MOP) produces three different paper products at its Vaasa lumberplant: Supreme,Deluxe, and Regular. Each product has its own dedicated production line at the plant. It currently uses the followingthree-part classification for its manufacturingcosts: directmaterials, direct manufacturinglabor, and manufacturing overhead costs. Total manufacturing overhead costs of the plant in July 2017 are $150 million ($15 million of which arefixed). This total amount is allocated to each product line on the basis of the direct manufacturing labor costs of each line. Summary data(in millions) for July 2017 are asfollows: Supreme Deluxe Regular Direct material costs $89 $57 $60 Direct manufacturing labor costs $16 $26 $8 Manufacturing overhead costs $48 $78 $24 Units produced 125 150 140
Requirement 1. Compute the manufacturing cost per unit for each product produced in July . Begin by determining the formula needed to calculate the total manufacturing cost per unit. Total manufacturing costs ÷ Units produced = Total manufacturing cost per unit Using the formula you determined above, calculate the company's total manufacturing cost per unit for each type of product produced in July . (Round your answers to the nearest cent.) Supreme Deluxe Regular Total manufacturing cost per unit produced in July $1.22 $1.07 $0.66 Requirement 2. Suppose that, in August , production was million units of Supreme, million units of Deluxe, and million units of Regular. Why might the July information on manufacturing cost per unit be misleading when predicting total manufacturing costs in August ? During July , the company incurred million of manufacturing overhead costs, which includes a $ 15 million fixed cost component that will not fluctuate with changes in monthly production volume. This amount, which has been allocated to the total manufacturing costs of producing each product, affects the total manufacturing cost per unit amounts as calculated in requirement 1. Given the production volume increase in August , using the total manufacturing cost per unit amounts calculated for July will result in an overestimation of total manufacturing costs for August.
DLN is an architectural firm that designs and builds buildings. It prices each job on a cost plus20% basis. Overhead costs in 2017 are $8,100,000. DLN's simple costing system allocates overhead costs to its jobs based on number of jobs. There were three jobs in 2017. Onecustomer, Chandler, has complained that the cost and price of its building in Chicago was not competitive. As aresult, the controller has initiated a detailed review of the overhead allocation to determine if overhead costs should be charged to jobs in proportion to consumption of overhead resources by jobs. She gathers the followinginformation: Quantity of Cost Drivers Used by Each Project Department Cost Driver Overhead Costs in 2017 Chandler Henry Manley Design Design department hours $3,000,000 2,000 10,000 8,000 Engineering Number of engineering hours 1,000,000 4,000 4,000 4,500 Construction Labor-hours 4,100,000 29,000 27,000 26,000 Total $8,100,000
Requirement 1. Compute the overhead allocated to each project in 2017 using the simple costing system that allocates overhead costs to jobs based on the number of jobs. Determine the formula needed to calculate overhead using the simple costing method and then calculate the overhead rate for 2017. (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.) Total overhead ÷ Number of jobs = Overhead cost per project $8,100,000 ÷ 3 = $2,700,000 per project Requirement 2. Compute the overhead allocated to each project in 2017 using department overhead cost rates. Determine the formula used to calculate the cost driver rates: Cost ÷ Total quantity of cost driver = Cost driver rate The 2017 department overhead cost rates by department are as follows: Department Overhead Cost Rate Department (by Department) Design $150 per design hour Engineering $80 per engineering hour Construction $50 per labor hour Calculate the overhead allocated to each customer, by department, using the department overhead cost rates calculated in the previous step. Calculate the total overhead cost for each department and each customer. Department Chandler Henry Manley Total Design $300,000 $1,500,000 $1,200,000 $3,000,000 Engineering 320,000 320,000 360,000 1,000,000 Construction 1,450,000 1,350,000 1,300,000 4,100,000 Total $2,070,000 $3,170,000 $2,860,000 $8,100,000 Requirement 3. Do you think Chandler had a valid reason for dissatisfaction with the cost and price of its buillding? How does the allocation based on department rates change costs for each project? Under the simple-costing system, Chandler was likely unhappy about its bill, because the contract appears to have been overcosted. If the new department-based rates are used to price contracts, Chandler will likely be happier about its bill. If the new department-based rates are used to price contracts, Henry and Manley will likely be unhappy. This is because their bills under the simple-costing system appear to have been undercosted. Using the department-based rates, their bills will be higher. If the new department-based rates are used, DLN should explain to the unhappy customers how the calculation was done, and point out their high use of design resources relative to engineering and construction hours. Requirement 4. What value, if any, would DLN get by allocating costs of each department based on the activities done in that department? (Select three benefits of the ABC system.) A. There is no value to allocating costs of each department based on activities done in that department. Costs will always be lower when using the simple costing method. B. The system will assist in price setting that more accurately reflect the cost of the product. This is the correct answer. C.

Diego Motors is a small car dealership. Onaverage, it sells a car for $31,000, which it purchases from the manufacturer for $27,000. Eachmonth, Diego Motors pays $51,600 in rent and utilities and $73,000 forsalespeople's salaries. In addition to theirsalaries, salespeople are paid a commission of $600 for each car they sell. Diego Motors also spends $8,000 each month for local advertisements. Its tax rate is 40%.
Requirement 1. How many cars must Diego Motors sell each month to break even? Let's begin by determining the formula for the breakeven number of cars. Breakeven number of cars = Fixed costs ÷ Contribution margin per unit Diego Motors must sell 39 each month to break even. Requirement 2. Diego Motors has a target monthly net income of $65,280. What is its targeted monthly operating income? How many cars must be sold each month to reach the target monthly net income of $65,280? Determine the formula to calculate the target operating income. Target Targeted net income ÷ ( 1 - Tax rate ) = operating income The target monthly operating income is $108,800 . Finally determine the formula to calculate the number of cars that are required to be sold. Quantity of cars ( Fixed costs + Target operating income ) ÷ Contribution margin per unit = required to be sold They would need to sell 71 cars to reach the target monthly income of $65,280. Worked Solution Requirement 1 Fixed costs Variable costs Purchase price of car $27,000 Rent and utilities $51,600 Salespeople's salaries 73,000 Commission paid per car 600 Advertisements 8,000 Total $132,600 $27,600 Breakeven number of units: Fixed Contribution margin per unit Breakeven costs ÷ ( Sales price - Variable cost per unit ) = number of units $132,600 ÷ ( $31,000 - $27,600 ) = 39 Requirement 2 Target operating income: Targeted net income ÷ ( 1 - Tax rate ) = Targeted operating income $ 65,280 ÷ ( 1 - 0.40 ) = 108,800 Contribution margin per unit = $31,000 - $27,600 = $3,400 Quantity of units ( Fixed costs + Target operating income ) ÷ Contribution margin per unit = required to be sold ( $132,600 + $108,800 ) ÷ $ 3,400 = 71

Jason Hickey, the new plant manager of Old Lake Manufacturing Plant Number 7, has just reviewed a draft of his year-end financial statements. Hickey receives a year-end bonus of 8% of the plant's operating income before tax. The year-end income statement provided by the plant's controller was disappointing to say the least. After reviewing the numbers, Hickey demanded that his controller go back and "work the numbers" again. Hickey insisted that if he didn't see a better operating income number the next time around he would be forced to look for a new controller. Old Lake Manufacturing classifies all costs directly related to the manufacturing of its product as product costs. These costs are inventoried and later expensed as costs of goods sold when the product is sold. All other expenses, including finished goods warehousing costs of $3,600,000, are classified as period expenses. Hickey had suggested that warehousing costs be included as product costs because they are "definitely related to our product." The company produced 240,000 units during the period and sold 220,000 units. As the controller reworked the numbers he discovered that if he included warehousing costs as product costs, he could improve operating income by $300,000. He was also sure these new numbers would make Hickey happy.
Requirement 1. Show numerically how operating income would improve by $300,000 just by classifying the preceding costs as product costs instead of period expenses. Begin by determining the formula to compute how the controller was able to improve operating income, then enter the appropriate amounts and compute the increase in operating income. Warehousing costs as period costs - Warehousing costs as product costs = Increase in operating income $3,600,000 - $3,300,000 = $300,000 Requirement 2. Is Hickey correct in his justification that these costs "are definitely related to our product"? The controller is not correct in his justification with respect to classifying costs as product or period costs; this determination is made by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Research and development, as well as all costs related to warehousing and distribution of goods, should be classified as period costs, and be expensed as incurred. Requirement 3. By how much will Hickey profit personally if the controller makes the adjustments in requirement 1? Jason Hickey will profit personally by $24,000 if the controller makes the adjustments. Requirement 4. What should the plant controller do? The controller should not reclassify costs as product costs so the plant manager can reap short-term benefits. The idea of correctly classifying costs is to properly reflect on the income statement those costs that are directly related to manufacturing and to properly reflect on the balance sheet those costs that will provide a future benefit. Worked Solution Requirement 1 Warehousing costs÷Units produced=Unit cost $3,600,000÷240,000=$15 Unit cost×Units sold=Cost of goods expensed $15×220,000=$3,300,000 Requirement 3 Increase in operating income×Bonus percent=Bonus increase $300,000×8% =$24,000
1-2-3 is a top-selling electronic spreadsheet product. Chartz is about to release version 5.0. It divides its customers into two groups: new customers and upgrade customers (those who previously purchased Chartz 1-2-3, 4.0 or earlier versions). Although the same physical product is provided to each customer group, sizable differences exist in selling prices and variable marketing costs: New Customers Upgrade Customers Selling price $195 $115 Variable costs Manufacturing $15 $15 Marketing 50 65 20 35 Contribution margin $130 $80 The fixed costs of Chartz 1-2-3 5.0 are $16,500,000. The planned sales mix in units is 60% new customers and 40% upgrade customers.
Requirement 1. What is the Chartz 1-2-3 5.0 breakeven point in units, assuming that the planned 60% / 40% sales mix is attained? Begin by determining the sales mix. For every bundle, 3 units are sold to new customers, and 2 units are sold to customer who bought upgrades. Determine the formula used to calculate the breakeven point when there is more than one product sold, then enter the amounts in the formula to calculate the breakeven point in bundles. Fixed costs ÷ Contribution margin per bundle = Breakeven point in bundles $16,500,000 ÷ $550 = 30,000 The breakeven point is 90,000 units for new customers and 60,000 units for upgrade customers. Requirement 2. If the sales mix is attained, what is the operating income when 170,000 units are sold? New customers Upgrade customers Total Units sold 102,000 68,000 170,000 Total revenue $19,890,000 $7,820,000 $27,710,000 Total variable costs 6,630,000 2,380,000 9,010,000 Contribution margin $13,260,000 $5,440,000 18,700,000 Fixed costs 16,500,000 Operating income $2,200,000 Requirement 3. Show how the breakeven point in units changes with the following customer mixes: a. New 40% and Upgrade 60% and b. New 80% and Upgrade 20%. a. Begin by determining the sales mix for scenario "a". For every bundle, 2 units are sold to new customers, and 3 units are sold to customers who bought upgrades. Calculate the breakeven point in bundles for scenario "a", then determine the breakeven point for new customers and upgrade customers. The breakeven point is 33,000 bundles. This translates to a breakeven point of 66,000 units for new customers and 99,000 units for upgrade customers. b. Now determine the sales mix for scenario "b". For every bundle, 4 units are sold to new customers, and 1 units are sold to customers who bought upgrades. Calculate the breakeven point in bundles for scenario "b", then determine the breakeven point for new customers and upgrade customers. The breakeven point is 27,500 bundles. This translates to a breakeven point of 110,000 units for new customers and 27,500 units for upgrade customers. c. Comment on the results. As Chartz increases its percentage of new customers, which have a higher contribution margin per unit than upgrade customers, the number of bundles required to break even decreases.
Ellsbury Associates is a recently formed law partnership. Sydney Hayes, the managing partner of Ellsbury Associates, has just finished a tense phone call with John Graham, president of Graham Enterprises. John strongly complained about the price Ellsbury charged for some legal work done for his company. Hayes also received a phone call from its only other client, Magnet, Inc., which was very pleased with both the quality of the work and the price charged on its most recent job. Ellsbury Associates operates at capacity and uses a cost-based approach to pricing (billing) each job. Currently it uses a simple costing system with a single direct-cost category (professional labor-hours) and a single indirect-cost pool (general support). Indirect costs are allocated to cases on the basis of professional labor-hours per case. The job files show the following: Graham Enterprises Magnet Inc. Professional labor 3,200 hours 1,800 hours Professional labor costs at Ellsbury Associates are $150 an hour. Indirect costs are allocated to cases at $90 an hour. Total indirect costs in the most recent period were $450,000.
Requirement 1. Why is it important for Ellsbury Associates to understand the costs associated with individual jobs? A. Operating at or above capacity for the company lowers overall costs to individual jobs. B. Pricing decisions are heavily influenced by reported cost numbers. Your answer is correct. C. Overstaffing any job would be detrimental to the company's bottom line. D. All of the above. Requirement 2. Compute the costs of the Graham Enterprises and Magnet Inc. jobs using Ellsbury's simple costing system. (Abbreviation used: prof. = professional.) Begin by determining the formula used to calculate the direct costs for each job. Prof. labor hours for job × Prof. labor hourly rate = Direct costs of job Now determine the formula used to calculate the indirect costs for each job. Prof. labor hours for job × Indirect cost rate per hour = Indirect costs allocated to job Now compute the cost of the jobs using the simple costing system. Graham Enterprises Direct professional labor $480,000 Indirect costs allocated 288,000 Total $768,000 Magnet Inc. $270,000 162,000 $432,000 Worked Solution Requirement 2 Graham Enterprises total Magnet Inc. total Total professional professional labor hours + professional labor hours = labor hours 3,200 + 1,800 = 5,000 Professional labor Professional labor Direct cost hours for job × hourly rate = of job Graham Enterprises 3,200 × $150 = $480,000 Magnet Inc. 1,800 × $150 = $270,000 Professional labor Indirect cost Indirect costs hours for job × rate per hour = allocated to job Graham Enterprises 3,200 × $90 = $288,000 Magnet Inc. 1,800 × $90 = $162,000
