Boxer Manufacturing produces luxury dog houses. Each dog house requires 4.0 hours of machine time for its elaborate trim and finishing. For the current year, Boxer calculated its predetermined fixed manufacturing overhead (MOH) rate to be $26 per machine hour. The company budgets its fixed MOH to be $202,000 per month. Last month. Boxer produced 2,000 dog houses and incurred $198,400 (actual) of fixed MOH.

From previous experience, you know that your firm follows a 90% learning rate. For this contract, it appears that the effort will be substantial, running 400 hours for the first session. Your firm has an average cost of labor of $60/hour and the overhead is expected to run a fixed $1000 per session. The customer will pay you a flat fixed rate per session (Per Session Price.) If your profit markup is 12%, what will be the Total Price, the Per Session Price, and at what session will you break even? Answer the following four questions: What is the Total Price? This is what you would charge the customer so that you can have your profit markup of 10% over all of your costs. To calculate this, first figure out your cost per each session, add them up, and then add your profit.

- The following scenario relates to 5 questions. Bear Co has developed a new model of television. The estimated labour time for the first unit is 12 hours but a learning curve of 75% is expected to apply for the first eight units produced Note: The learning index for a 75% learning curve is -0.415. Overhead production costs must be estimated based on a previous model, the Leonardo, that was made by Bear Co. Production quantities and total overhead costs for the last four months of production of the Leonardo were as follows: Month Output Total overhead cost (units) $ September 1,800 278,200 October 2,000 310,000 November 1,700 252,900 December 200,000 1,000 You have been asked to estimate the variable overhead cost per unit of the new television by assuming that it will be the same as for the Leonardo, using the information provided for the last four months of its manufacture, and applying a 6% inflation rate.

- The Beacon Hills High School entered into a contract with Beacon Printing Services which stipulates that the latter shall produce 10,000 sets of modules to be distributed to learners during the 1st quarter of the school year. The contract further states that Beacon Printing Services shall charge Beacon Hills High School at 20% above cost. Overhead costs are applied at the rate of P 10.00 per hour. After the job was completed, it was found out that 2,000 sets were determined to be spoiled due to significant errors. Fortunately, the 2,000 spoiled sets can be sold to a scrap buyer for P 3.00 per set. Direct costs charged to the job are: Materials – P 300,000 and Direct Labor (P15.00 per hour) – P 60,000. Only 8,000 sets were delivered to Beacon Hills High School. FIND: How much should be charged to Work In Process to record production cost? How much should be charged to Spoiled Good Inventory?
