Question
Chapter 18, Problem 18.22EX
(A)
To determine
It is a method of cost accounting, which is used where the production is continuous, and the product needs various processes to complete. This method is used to ascertain the cost of the product at each process or stage of production.
Equivalents units for production
The activity of a processing department in terms of fully completed units is known as equivalent units. It includes the completed units of direct materials and conversion cost of beginning work in process, units completed and transferred out, and ending work in process.
To Prepare: The table showing the paper cost per output pound coating cost per pound, conversion cost per output pound, and yield (pounds transferred out / pounds input) for each month.
(b)
To determine
To Interpret: The table results of Incorporation PP.

Pix Paper Inc. produces photographic paper for printing digital images. One of the processes for this operation is a coating (solvent spreading) operation, where chemicals are coated onto paper stock. There has been some concern about the cost performance of this operation. As a result, you have begun an investigation. You first discover that all materials and conversion prices have been stable for the last six months. Thus, increasesin prices for inputs are not an explanation for increasing costs. However, you have discovered three possible problems from some of the operating personnel whose quotes follow:Operator 1: “I’ve been keeping an eye on my operating room instruments. I feel as though our energy consumption is becoming less efficient.”Operator 2: “Every time the coating machine goes down, we produce waste on shutdown and subsequent startup. It seems as though during the last half year, we have had more unscheduled machine shutdowns than in the past. Thus, I think our yields…
Nico Parts, Inc., produces electronic products with short life cycles (of less than two years). De-velopment has to be rapid, and the profitability of the products is tied strongly to the ability to
find designs that will keep production and logistics costs low. Recently, management has alsodecided that post-purchase costs are important in design decisions. Last month, a proposal for anew product was presented to management. The total market was projected at 200,000 units (forthe two-year period). The proposed selling price was $130 per unit. At this price, market sharewas expected to be 25 percent. The manufacturing and logistics costs were estimated to be $120per unit.Upon reviewing the projected figures, Brian Metcalf, president of Nico, called in his chiefdesign engineer, Mark Williams, and his marketing manager, Cathy McCourt. The followingconversation was recorded:
BRIAN: Mark, as you know, we agreed that a profit of $15 per unit is needed for this new prod-uct. Also, as I look…
Richins Company is considering the acquisition of a computerized manufacturing system. The new system has a built in quality function that increases the control over product specifications. An alarm sounds whenever the product falls outside the programmed specifications. An operator can then make some adjustments on the spot to restore the desired product quality. The system is expected to decrease the number of units scrapped because of poor quality. The system is also expected to decrease the amount of labor inputs needed. The production manager is pushing for the aquisition because he believes that productivity will be greatly enhanced - particularly when it comes to labor and material inputs. Output and input data follow. The data for the computerized system are projections.

- Toledo Tool Company plans to introduce a new product. The company also considers adopting a new computer-assisted manufacturing system. The new product can be manufactured by either the new computer assisted system or its traditional labor-intensive production system. The company can achieve the same quality of the product regardless of which the production system employed. The estimated product costs by the two production systems are as follows: Traditional Labor-Intensive Production Systems New Computer-Assisted Manufacturing Systems Direct Material (per unit) $10.5 $8.4 Direct Labor (per unit) $14.0 $9.0 Variable overhead (per unit) $5.5 $3.4 Fixed overhead $2M $3.5M The marketing department recommends that the unit selling price of the new product be at $65, and the company expects the selling expenses for the new product to be $830,000 annually plus $4 for each unit sold. The company is currently subject to a 40% income tax rate.…arrow_forwardSilver Company manufactures a product that is available in both a complex model and a regular model. The company has manufactured the regular model for years. The complex model was introduced several years ago to tap a new segment of the market. Since introduction of the complex model, the company's profits have steadily declined and management has become increasingly concerned about the accuracy of its costing system. Sales of the complex model have been increasing rapidly. Manufacturing overhead is assigned to products on the basis of direct labour- hours. For the current year, the company has estimated that it will incur £900,000 in manufacturing overhead cost and produce 5,000 units of the complex model and 40,000 units of the regular model. The complex model requires two hours of direct labour time per unit, and the regular model requires one hour. Material and labour costs per unit are as follows: Model Complex Regular Direct material £40 £25 Direct labour 14 7 Required: a.

- Hudson Corporation is considering three options for managing its data warehouse: continuing with its own staff, hiring an outside vendor to do the managing, or using a combination of its own staff and an outside vendor. The cost of the operation depends on future demand. The annual cost of each option (in thousands of dollars) depends on demand as follows: If the demand probabilities are 0.2, 0.5, and 0.3, which decision alternative will minimize the expected cost of the data warehouse? What is the expected annual cost associated with that recommendation? Construct a risk profile for the optimal decision in part (a). What is the probability of the cost exceeding $700,000?arrow_forwardBecause of high production-changeover time and costs, a director of manufacturing must convince management that a proposed manufacturing method reduces costs before the new method can be implemented. The current production method operates with a mean cost of $220 per hour. A research study will measure the cost of the new method over a sample production period. Develop the null and alternative hypotheses most appropriate for this study. Comment on the conclusion when H0 cannot be rejected. Comment on the conclusion when H0 can be rejected.arrow_forwardSalem Electronics currently produces two products: a programmable calculator and a tape recorder. A recent marketing study indicated that consumers would react favorably to a radio with the Salem brand name. Owner Kenneth Booth was interested in the possibility. Before any commitment was made, however, Kenneth wanted to know what the incremental fixed costs would be and how many radios must be sold to cover these costs. In response, Betty Johnson, the marketing manager, gathered data for the current products to help in projecting overhead costs for the new product. The overhead costs based on 30,000 direct labor hours follow. (The high-low method using direct labor hours as the independent variable was used to determine the fixed and variable costs.) All depreciation. The following activity data were also gathered: Betty was told that a plantwide overhead rate was used to assign overhead costs based on direct labor hours. She was also informed by engineering that if 20,000 radios were produced and sold (her projection based on her marketing study), they would have the same activity data as the recorders (use the same direct labor hours, machine hours, setups, and so on). Engineering also provided the following additional estimates for the proposed product line: Upon receiving these estimates, Betty did some quick calculations and became quite excited. With a selling price of 26 and just 18,000 of additional fixed costs, only 4,500 units had to be sold to break even. Since Betty was confident that 20,000 units could be sold, she was prepared to strongly recommend the new product line. Required: 1. Reproduce Bettys break-even calculation using conventional cost assignments. How much additional profit would be expected under this scenario, assuming that 20,000 radios are sold? 2. Use an activity-based costing approach, and calculate the break-even point and the incremental profit that would be earned on sales of 20,000 units. 3.

One time cost to rearrange the shop floor to create the manufacturing cell workstations is $275,000. One time cost to retrain the existing workforce for the JIT required skills is $60,000.
