Nabors Company had actual quality costs for the year ended June 30, 20x5, as given below. At the zero-defect state, Nabors expects to spend 375,000 on quality engineering, 75,000 on vendor certification, and 50,000 on packaging inspection. Assume sales to be 25,000,000. Required: 1. Prepare a long-range performance report for 20x5. What does this report tell the management of Nabors? 2. Explain why quality costs still are present for the zero-defect state. 3. What if Nabors achieves the zero-defect state reflected in the report? What are some of the implications of this achievement?
Hatch Manufacturing produces multiple machine parts. The theoretical cycle time for one of its products is 65 minutes per unit. The budgeted conversion costs for the manufacturing cell dedicated to the product are 12,960,000 per year. The total labor minutes available are 1,440,000. During the year, the cell was able to produce 0.6 units of the product per hour. Suppose also that production incentives exist to minimize unit product costs. Required: 1. Compute the theoretical conversion cost per unit. 2. Compute the applied conversion cost per minute (the amount of conversion cost actually assigned to the product). 3. Discuss how this approach to assigning conversion cost can improve delivery time performance. Explain how conversion cost acts as a performance driver for on-time deliveries.
Gent Designs requires three units of part A for every unit of Al that it produces. Currently, part A is made by Gent, with these per-unit costs in a month when 4.000 units were produced: Variable manufacturing overhead is applied at $1.00 per unit. The other $0.30 of overhead consists of allocated fixed costs. Gent will need 6,000 units of part A for the next years production. Cory Corporation has offered to supply 6,000 units of part A at a price of $7.00 per unit. It Gent accepts the offer, all of the variable costs and $1,200 of the fixed costs will be avoided. Should Gent Designs accept the offer from Cory Corporation?
LaVerle, Inc., manufactures a product that sells for $480. The variable costs per unit are as follows: Direct materials $160 Direct labor 100 Variable manufacturing overhead 40 During the year, the budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is estimated to be $100,000, and budgeted fixed selling and administrative costs are expected to be $40,000. Variable selling costs are $20 per unit. Required: a. Determine the break-even point in units. b. Determine the number of units that must be sold to earn $60,000 in profit before taxes. c. Determine the number of units that must be sold to generate an after-tax profit of $60,000 if there is a 40 percent tax rate

The Minton Company has gathered the following information for a unit of its most popular product: Direct materials Direct labor Overhead (50% variable) Cost to manufacture Desired markup (50%) Target selling price The above cost information is based on 4,500 units. A foreign distributor has offered to buy 1,500 units at a price of $19 per unit. This special order would not disturb regular sales. Variable shipping and other selling expenses would be an additional $1 per unit for the special order. If the special order is accepted, Minton's operating profits will increase by: Multiple Choice $3,000 $3,750. $6 4 6 16 8 $ 24 $4,500.

Gonzales Corp. needs to set a target price for its newly designed product EverReady. The following data relate to this product. Per Unit Total Direct Material $20 Direct Labor $40 Variable manufacturing Overhead $10 Fixed manufacturing overhead $1,200,000 Variable selling and administrative $5 Fixed selling and administrative $1,120,000 The costs shown above are based on a budgeted volume of 80,000 units produced and sold each year. Gonzales uses cost-plus pricing methods to set its target selling price. Because some managers prefer absorption-cost pricing and others prefer variable-cost pricing, the accounting department provides information under both approaches using a markup of 50% on absorption cost and a markup of 70% on variable cost.…
