7-5: Massey Electronics Massey Electronics manufactures heat sinks. Heat sinks are small devices attached to solid-state circuit boards that dissipate the heat from the circuit board components. Made of aluminum, the devices consist of many small fins cut in the metal to increase its surface area and hence its ability to dissipate the heat. For example, Intel Pentium and Celeron processors are first mounted onto heat sinks and then attached to circuit boards. These processors generate heat that will ultimately destroy the processor and other components on the circuit board without a heat sink to disperse the heat. Massey has two production facilities, one in Texas and the other in Mexico. Both produce a wide range of heat sinks that are sold by the three Massey lines of business: laptops and PCs, serv- ers, and telecommunications. The three lines of business are profit centers, whereas the two plants are cost centers. Products produced by each plant are charged to the lines of business selling the heat sinks at full absorption cost, including all manufacturing overheads. Both plants supply heat sinks to each line of business. The Texas plant produces more complicated heat sinks that require tighter engineering toler- ances. The Texas workforce is more skilled, but also more expensive. The Mexico plant is larger and employs more people. Both facilities utilize a set of shared manufacturing resources: a common manufacturing IT system that schedules and controls the manufacturing process, inventory control, and cost accounting, industrial engineers, payroll processing, and quality control. These shared man- ufacturing overhead resources cost Massey $9.5 million annually. Massey is considering four ways to allocate this $9.5 million manufacturing overhead cost pool: direct labor hours, direct labor dollars, direct material dollars, or square footage of the two plants. The following table summarizes the operations of the two plants: Direct labor hours Direct labor dollars Direct material dollars Square footage Texas 3,000,000 $60,000,000 $180,000,000 200,000 Mexico 4,000,000 $40,000,000 $200,000,000 300,000 Massey has significant tax loss carryforwards due to prior losses and hence expects no income tax liability in any tax jurisdiction where it operates for the next five years. Required: a. Prepare a table showing how the $9.5 million would be allocated using each of the four proposed allocation schemes (direct labor hours, direct labor dollars, direct material dol- lars, and square footage of the two plants). b. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each of the four proposed allocation methods (direct labor hours, direct labor dollars, direct material dollars, and square footage of the two plants).

Answer the following questions using the Answer Report and the Sensitivity Report Below. Support your answers with explanations and the work showed. You run a company that produces three electrical products – clocks, radios, and toasters. You are asked to figure out how many of each of these things should be produced. Here are the Questions Below That Needs To Be Answered 1.) How many of each of the electronic appliances should you make? (Make sure your answer makes sense.) 2.) Which of the constraints are binding? What does the slack for each non-binding constraint represent?

One way of improving the efficiency of a power plant is by reheating the steam in between the stages of expansion. A high pressure (H.P.) and a low pressure (L.P.) turbine may be used together. A power plant that uses reheating operates on a steam cycle as shown in the diagram to generate electricity. The TS diagram represents the steam cycle in the system.

Ashley Technology Inc. manufactures a scrambling device for cellular telephones. The device's main component is a delicate part, CT140. CT140 is easily damaged and requires careful handling. Once damaged, it must be discarded. The firm hires only skilled laborers to manufacture and install CT140; however, some are still damaged. Robotic instruments process all other parts. Ashley's operating data for 2 years are as follows: Units manufactured Number of CT140 used Number of direct labor hours spent Cost of CT140 per unit Direct labor wage rate per hour 2019 $ S 750,000 900,000 150,000 156 56 2018 1,000,000 1,050,000 200,000 $ 135 $ 62 Assume that fixed manufacturing costs are $50 million in both 2018 and 2019. Required: 1. Compute the total productivity ratios for 2018 and 2019.

Combat Fire, Inc. manufactures steel cylinders and nozzles for two models of fire extinguishers: (1) a home fire extinguisher and (2) a commercial fire extinguisher. The home model is a high-volume (54,000 units), half-gallon cylinder that holds 2 1/2 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 480 PSI. The commercial model is a low-volume (10,200 units), two-gallon cylinder that holds 10 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 390 PSI. Both products require 1.5 hours of direct labor for completion. Therefore, total annual direct labor hours are 96,300 or [1.5 hours × (54,000 + 10,200)]. Estimated annual manufacturing overhead is $ 1,585,316. Thus, the predetermined overhead rate is $ 16.46 or ($ 1,585,316 ÷ 96,300) per direct labor hour. The direct materials cost per unit is $18.50 for the home model and $26.50 for the commercial model. The direct labor cost is $19 per unit for both the home and the commercial models.The company’s managers identified six activity cost pools and related…
