Xuereb Manufacturing Company manufactures blue rugs, using wool and dye as direct materials. One rug is budgeted to use
35 skeins of wool at a cost of $6 per skein and 0.8 gallons of dye at a cost of $10 per gallon. All other materials are indirect. At
the beginning of the year Xuereb has an inventory of 466,000 skeins of wool at a cost of $1,165,000 and 4,400 gallons of dye at
a cost of $27,280. Target ending inventory of wool and dye is zero. Xuereb uses the FIFO inventory cost flow method.
A (Click the icon to view the additional information.)
There is no direct manufacturing labor cost for dyeing. Xuereb budgets 50 direct manufacturing labor-hours to weave a rug at
a budgeted rate of $17 per hour. It budgets 0.2 machine-hours to dye each skein in the dyeing process.

an
Folsom Company manufactures specialty tools to customer order. There are three producing
departments. Departmental information on budgeted overhead and various activity measures
for the coming year is as follows:
EXCEL
Welding
Assembly
Finishing
Estimated overhead
$220,000
$ 62,000
$150,000
Direct labor hours
Direct labor cost
4,500

$ 90,000
$150,000
$120,000
Machine hours
5,000
1,000
2,000
Currently, overhead is applied on the basis of machine hours using a plantwide rate.
However, Janine, the controller, has been wondering whether it might be worthwhile to use
departmental overhead rates. She has analyzed the overhead costs and drivers for the various de-
partments and decided that Welding and Finishing should base their overhead rates on machine
hours and that Assembly should base its overhead rate on direct labor hours.
Janine has been asked to prepare bids for two jobs with the following information:

Each product requires manufacturing operations in three departments: A, B, and C. The labor-hour requirements, by department, are as follows: During the next production period the labor-hours available are 450 in department A, 350 in department B, and 50 in department C. The profit contributions per unit are 25 for product 1, 28 for product 2, and 30 for product 3. a. Formulate a linear programming model for maximizing total profit contribution. b. Solve the linear program formulated in part (a). How much of each product should be produced, and what is the projected total profit contribution? c. After evaluating the solution obtained in part (b), one of the production supervisors noted that production setup costs had not been taken into account. She noted that setup costs are 400 for product 1, 550 for product 2, and 600 for product 3. If the solution developed in part (b) is to be used, what is the total profit contribution after taking into account the setup costs? d. Management realized that the optimal product mix, taking setup costs into account, might be different from the one recommended in part (b). Formulate a mixed-integer linear program that takes setup costs provided in part (c) into account. Management also stated that we should not consider making more than 175 units of product 1, 150 units of product 2, or 140 units of product 3. e.

At the end of the year, Meliore, Inc., actually produced 310,000 units of the standard model and 115,000 of the deluxe model. The actual overhead costs incurred were: Required: Prepare a performance report for the period. In an attempt to improve budgeting, the controller for Meliore, Inc., has developed a flexible budget for overhead costs. Meliore, Inc., makes two types of products, the standard model and the deluxe model. Meliore expects to produce 300,000 units of the standard model and 120,000 units of the deluxe model during the coming year. The standard model requires 0.05 direct labor hour per unit, and the deluxe model requires 0.08. The controller has developed the following cost formulas for each of the four overhead items: Required: 1. Prepare an overhead budget for the expected activity level for the coming year. 2. Prepare an overhead budget that reflects production that is 10 percent higher than expected (for both products) and a budget for production that is 20 percent lower than expected.arrow_forward
