Kima Company manufactures and sells two models of a home appliance. The Standard model is a basic appliance with mostly manual features, while the Galaxy model is highly automated. The appliances are produced to order, and there are no inventories at the end of the year. The cost accounting system at Kima allocates overhead to products based on direct labor cost. Overhead in year 1, which just ended, was $2,957,500. Other data for year 1 for the two products follow. Sales revenue Direct materials. Direct labor Standard Model (20,000 units) $6,130,000 2,530,000 1,730,000 Galaxy Model (3,000 units) $2,830,000 430,000 545,000 Required: a. Compute product line profits/loss for the Standard model and the Galaxy model for year 1. b. A study of overhead shows that without the Standard model, overhead would fall to $2,315,000. Assume all other revenues and costs would remain the same for the Galaxy model in year 2. Compute product line profits/loss for the Galaxy model in year 2 assuming the Standard model was not produced or sold.

During the month, it incurs $95 in indirect material cost, $130 in administrative labor, $320 in utilities, and $350 in depreciation expense. What is the predetermined overhead rate if machine hours are considered the cost driver? What is the cost of Job 416? What is the overhead incurred during the month?
CleanCom Company specializes in cleaning commercial buildings and construction sites. Each building and site is different, requiring amounts and types of supplies and labor for each job. CleanCom estimated the following for the year: During the year, the following actual amounts were experienced: If CleanCom uses a normal costing system and overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor hours, what is the cost of cleaning a construction site that takes 140 of direct materials and 21 direct labor hours? a. 455 b. 508 c. 648 d. 644
Brees, Inc., a manufacturer of golf carts, has just received an offer from a supplier to provide 2,600 units of a component used in its main product. The component is a track assembly that is currently produced internally. The supplier has offered to sell the track assembly for 66 per unit. Brees is currently using a traditional, unit-based costing system that assigns overhead to jobs on the basis of direct labor hours. The estimated traditional full cost of producing the track assembly is as follows: Prior to making a decision, the companys CEO commissioned a special study to see whether there would be any decrease in the fixed overhead costs. The results of the study revealed the following: 3 setups1,160 each (The setups would be avoided, and total spending could be reduced by 1,160 per setup.) One half-time inspector is needed. The company already uses part-time inspectors hired through a temporary employment agency. The yearly cost of the part-time inspectors for the track assembly operation is 12,300 and could be totally avoided if the part were purchased. Engineering work: 470 hours, 45/hour. (Although the work decreases by 470 hours, the engineer assigned to the track assembly line also spends time on other products, and there would be no reduction in his salary.) 75 fewer material moves at 30 per move. Required: 1. Ignore the special study, and determine whether the track assembly should be produced internally or purchased from the supplier. 2. Now, using the special study data, repeat the analysis. 3. Discuss the qualitative factors that would affect the decision, including strategic implications. 4. After reviewing the special study, the controller made the following remark: This study ignores the additional activity demands that purchasing would cause. For example, although the demand for inspecting the part on the production floor decreases, we may need to inspect the incoming parts in the receiving area. Will we actually save any inspection costs? Is the controller right?
Box Springs. Inc., makes two sizes of box springs: queen and king. The direct material for the queen is $35 per unit and $55 is used in direct labor, while the direct material for the king is $55 per unit, and the labor cost is $70 per unit. Box Springs estimates it will make 4,300 queens and 3,000 kings in the next year. It estimates the overhead for each cost pool and cost driver activities as follows: How much does each unit cost to manufacture?
Shumaker Company manufactures a line of high-top basketball shoes. At the beginning of the year, the following plans for production and costs were revealed: During the year, a total of 50,000 units were produced and sold. The following actual costs were incurred: There were no beginning or ending inventories of raw materials. In producing the 50,000 units 63,000 hours were worked, 5% more hours than the standard allowed for the actual output. Overhead costs are applied to production using direct labor hours. Required: 1. Using a flexible budget, prepare a performance report comparing expected costs for the actual production with actual costs. 2. Determine the following: (a) Fixed overhead spending and volume variances and (b) Variable overhead spending and efficiency variances.

Vargas, Inc., produces industrial machinery. Vargas has a machining department and a group of direct laborers called machinists. Each machinist is paid 25,000 and can machine up to 500 units per year. Vargas also hires supervisors to develop machine specification plans and to oversee production within the machining department. Given the planning and supervisory work, a supervisor can oversee three machinists, at most. Vargass accounting and production history reveal the following relationships between units produced and the costs of direct labor and supervision (measured on an annual basis): Required: 1. Prepare two graphs: one that illustrates the relationship between direct labor cost and units produced, and one that illustrates the relationship between the cost of supervision and units produced. Let cost be the vertical axis and units produced the horizontal axis. 2. How would you classify each cost? Why? 3. Suppose that the normal range of activity is between 2,400 and 2,450 units and that the exact number of machinists is currently hired to support this level of activity. Further suppose that production for the next year is expected to increase by an additional 400 units. How much will the cost of direct labor increase (and how will this increase be realized)? Cost of supervision?
