Assume it is the beginning of the month, using the estimates and a job-order costing system, what price would you recommend Lina quote for each of the above two jobs to ensure profitability in the long term?

 

2. Assume it is the end of the month, determine the amount of under- or over-applied overhead and recommend to Lina how the amount should be accounted for.

 

3. Prepare a schedule of cost of goods manufactured for the month - these were the only two jobs started and sold (zero beginning and ending work-in-process inventory). Assume that actual materials used and the labour rate/hours are the same as estimated. Hint: refer to Exhibit 5.11 on page 213 of text for suggested format.

Burlington Furniture Company produces custom furniture for walk-in customers. Products
include coffee tables, shelving units, bookcases, and hutches and can be constructed with either
pine or oak. Custom kitchen cabinetry and installation will also be considered during the slower
winter season. The company is owned and operated by Lina Wang, who has one full-time
employee working for her. Lina has worked in the industry for many years and has just started
the company. Currently, for customer pricing inquiries, Lina provides a quote based on her best
estimate and years of experience in the business and applies a 40% markup on cost.
Lina's daughter Olivia has returned home for the summer after completing her first semester of
an accounting program. Olivia described to Lina the benefits of a job-order costing system to
track costs and as a basis for quoting sales prices to prospective customers. Lina believes she
could use her cost accounting system in her new business and sets aside a few hours to collect
and generate the following estimated data:
Monthly Estimates:
Direct materials – kiln dried pine
| Direct materials – kiln dried oak
Direct labour
Other materials

Depreciation – production equipment
Utilities
$28/board foot
$35/board foot
$17.50/hour

$1,250
$490
Rent – production space
Rent – sales and administrative space
Salaries – sāles and administrative
$1,550
$1,210
$1.440
Lina has received customer enquiries for price quotes: one is for 2 pine shelving units and the
second is for 3 kitchen hutch made with oak. Lina has generated the following estimates:
Direct materials
