In its first year of operations a company produced and sold 70,000 units of Product A at a selling price of $20 per unit and 17,500 units of Product B at a selling price of $40 per unit. Additional information relating to the company’s only two products is shown below:     Product A Product B Total Direct materials $ 436,300 $ 251,700 $ 688,000 Direct labor $ 200,000 $ 104,000 304,000 Manufacturing overhead     608,000 Cost of goods sold     $ 1,600,000   The company created an activity-based costing system that allocated its manufacturing overhead costs to four activities as follows:   Activity Cost Pool (and Activity Measure) Manufacturing Overhead Activity Product A Product B Total Machining (machine-hours) $ 213,500 90,000 62,500 152,500 Setups (setup hours) 157,500 75 300 375 Product design (number of products) 120,000 1 1 2 Other (organization-sustaining costs) 117,000 NA NA NA Total manufacturing overhead cost $ 608,000       The company’s ABC implementation team also concluded that $36,500 and $113,500 of the company’s advertising expenses could be directly traced to Product A and Product B, respectively. The remainder of its selling and administrative expenses ($400,000) was organization-sustaining in nature.  The company’s activity-based costing system would report a product margin for Product A of:

ABC Inc. incurred the following costs for the last 3 months: Production in units: 40,000 50,000 60,000 Factory rent: $ 10,000 $ 10,000 $ 10,000 Indirect Manufacturing costs: $ 50,000 $ 60,000 $ 70,000 Selling costs: $ 60,000 $ 75,000 $ 90,000 Commissions: $ 120,000 $ 150,000 $ 180,000 Assuming that ABC was to produce and sell 80,000 units next month, how much would the company incur in selling costs?

Mahoko PLC's planned production for the year just ended was 18,400 units. This production level was achieved, and 21,200 units were sold. Other data follow: Direct material used $ 552,000   Direct labor incurred 259,440   Fixed manufacturing overhead 390,080   Variable manufacturing overhead 198,720   Fixed selling and administrative expenses 329,360   Variable selling and administrative expenses 100,280   Finished-goods inventory, January 1 3,500 units The cost per unit remained the same in the current year as in the previous year. There were no work-in-process inventories at the beginning or end of the year. Required: 1. What would be Mahoko PLC’s finished-goods inventory cost on December 31 under the variable-costing method? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. 2-a. Which costing method, absorption or variable costing, would show a higher operating income for the year? 2-b. By what amount?

Assume the following information appears in the standard cost card for a company that makes only one product:    Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Direct materials 5 pounds $ 11.00 per pound $ 55.00 Direct labor 2 hours $ 17.00 per hour $ 34.00 Variable manufacturing overhead 2 hours $ 3.80 per hour $ 7.60 During the most recent period, the following additional information was available: 20,000 pounds of material was purchased at a cost of $10.50 per pound. All of the material that was purchased was used to produce 3,900 units. 8,000 direct labor-hours were recorded at a total cost of $132,000. The actual variable overhead cost incurred during the period was $25,000. Assuming the company uses direct labor-hours to compute its predetermined overhead rate, what is the variable overhead efficiency variance?

During the coming accounting year, Baker Manufacturing, Inc., anticipates the following costs, expenses, and operating data: Direct material (16,000 lb.) $70,000 Direct labor (@ $20/hr.) $20,000 Factory administration $15,000 Indirect labor $10,000 Indirect material $14,000 Non factory administrative expenses $16,000 Other manufacturing overhead $15,000 Maintenance of factory machine $20,000 Sales commissions $70,000 Direct labor hours 2,000 Machine hours 8,000 Calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate for the coming year using direct labor hour as the allocation base. Round your answer to two decimal places when applicable.

All information included

At the beginning of the year, you estimated the following - Production - 75,000 units Raw Material - 270,000 pounds at a cost of $1,026,000 Direct Labor - 187,500 hours at a cost of $4,125,000 Variable Overhead - 135,000 machine hours at a cost of $567,000 Fixed Overhead - $900,000 At the end of year, the actual results were as follows - Production - 73,000 units Raw Material - 265,720 pounds purchased and used at a cost of $1,036,308 Direct Labor - 179,580 hours at a cost of $3,968,718 Variable Overhead - 133,590 machine hours at a cost of $558,406.20 Fixed Overhead - $891,000

A company uses the following standard costs to produce a single unit of output.  Direct materials 7 pounds at $0.90 per pound = $ 6.30 Direct labor 0.4 hour at $9.00 per hour = $ 3.60 Manufacturing overhead 0.4 hour at $4.20 per hour = $ 1.68  During the latest month, the company purchased and used 66,000 pounds of direct materials at a price of $1.30 per pound to produce 10,000 units of output. Direct labor costs for the month totaled $32,336 based on 3,760 direct labor hours worked. Variable manufacturing overhead costs incurred totaled $13,800 and fixed manufacturing overhead incurred was $20,000. Based on this information, the total direct materials variance for the month was:
