Question:Low Range produces fleece jackets. The company uses JIT costing for its JIT production system.
Low Range has two inventory accounts: Raw and In-Process Inventory and
Finished Goods Inventory. On March 1, 2018, the account balances were Raw and In-Process Inventory, \(9,000; Finished Goods Inventory, \)1,700.
The standard cost of a jacket is \(40, composed of \)12 direct materials plus \(28 conversion costs. Data for March’s activities follow:
Number of jackets completed 15,000
Number of jackets sold (on account, for \)50 each) 14,600
Direct materials purchased (on account) \( 177,500
Conversion costs incurred \) 521,000
Requirements
3. Use a T-account to determine the March 31, 2018, balance of Raw and In-Process Inventory.
Martin, Inc. manufactures bookcases and uses an activity-based costing system. Martin’s activity areas and related data follow:
Activity | Budgeted Cost of Activity | Allocation Base | Predetermined Overhead Allocation Rate |
Materials handling | \( 230,000 | Number of parts | \)1.50 |
Assembly | 3,200,000 | Number of assembling direct labor hours | 16.00 |
Finishing | 150,000 | Number of finished units* | 3.00 |
*Refers to the number of units receiving the finishing activity, not the number of units transferred to Finished Goods Inventory
Martin produced two styles of bookcases in April: the standard bookcase and an unfinished bookcase, which has fewer parts and requires no finishing. The totals for quantities, direct materials costs, and other data follow:
Product | Total Units Produced | Total Direct materials Costs | Total Direct Labor Costs | Total Number of Parts | Total Assembling Direct Labor Hours |
Standard bookcase | 3,000 | \(54,000 | \)67,500 | 9,000 | 4,500 |
Unfinished bookcase | 3,500 | 56,000 | 52,500 | 7,000 | 3,500 |
Requirements
2. Suppose that pre-manufacturing activities, such as product design, were assigned to the standard bookcases at \(5 each and to the unfinished bookcases at \)3 each. Similar analyses were conducted of post-manufacturing activities such as distribution, marketing, and customer service. The post-manufacturing costs were \(24 per standard bookcase and \)18 per unfinished bookcase. Compute the full product costs per unit.
How can ABM be used by service companies?
List and define the four types of quality costs.
Eason Company manufactures wheel rims. The controller expects the following ABC allocation rates for 2018:
Activity Allocation Base Predetermined Overhead
Allocation Rate
Materials handling Number of parts $ 4.00 per part
Machine setup Number of setups 400.00 per setup
Insertion of parts Number of parts 26.00 per part
Finishing Number of finishing hours 90.00 per hour
Eason produces two wheel rim models: standard and deluxe. Expected data for 2018 are as follows:
Standard Deluxe
Parts per rim 4.0 7.0
Setups per 500 rims 18.0 18.0
Finishing hours per rim 1.0 5.5
Total direct hours per rim 5.0 6.0
The company expects to produce 500 units of each model during the year.
Requirements
1. Compute the total estimated indirect manufacturing cost for 2018.
