Problem 1-25A (Algo) Using JIT to reduce inventory holding costs LO 1-5
Solomon Manufacturing Company obtains its raw materials from a variety of suppliers. Solomon's strategy is to obtain the
best price by letting the suppliers know that it buys from the lowest bidder. Approximately four years ago, unexpected
increases in demand resulted in materials shortages. Solomon was unable to find the materials it needed even though it was
willing to pay premium prices. Because of the lack of raw materials, Solomon was forced to close its manufacturing facility
for two weeks. Its president vowed that her company would never again be at the mercy of its suppliers. She immediately
ordered her purchasing agent to perpetually maintain a one-month supply of raw materials. Compliance with the president's
orders resulted in a raw materials inventory amounting to approximately $1,690,000. Warehouse rental and personnel costs
to maintain the inventory amounted to $7,500 per month. Solomon has a line of…

Cost Formulas, Single and Multiple Cost Drivers
For the past 5 years, Garner Company has had a policy of producing to meet customer demand. As a result, finished goods inventory is minimal, and for the most part, units produced equal units sold.
Recently, Garner's industry entered a recession, and the company is producing well below capacity (and expects to continue doing so for the coming year). The president is willing to accept orders that at least cover its variable costs so that the company can keep its employees and avoid layoffs. Also, any orders above variable costs will increase overall profitability of the company. Toward that end, the president of Garner Company implemented a policy that any special orders will be accepted if they cover the costs that the orders cause.
To help implement the policy, Garner's controller developed the following cost formulas:

The Personal grinders have a smaller capacity and are less durable than the Commercial grinders. ACE only recently began producing the Commercial model.

The management at ACE believes that the problem might be in how the accounting system allocates costs to products. Direct materials. Direct labor The current system at ACE allocates manufacturing overhead to products based on direct labor costs. For the most recent year, which is representative, manufacturing overhead totaled $2,023,500 based on production of 30,000 Personal grinders and 10,000 Commercial grinders.

Josefina's inventory of raw steel averages P600,000. JC Tan, president of Josefina, and Patrick Argante, Josefina's controller, are concerned about the costs of carrying inventory. The steel supplier is willing to supply steel in smaller lots at no additional charge. Patrick Argante identified the following effects of adopting a JIT inventory program to virtually eliminate steel inventory: Without scheduling any overtime, lost sales due to stockouts would increase by 35,000 units per year. However, by incurring overtime premiums of P40,000 per year, the increase in lost sales could be reduced to 20,000 units. This would be the maximum amount of overtime that would be feasible for Josefina. Two warehouses presently used for steel bar storage would no longer be needed.
