The Sedona Company is dedicated to making products that meet the needs of customers in a sustainable manner. Sedona is best known for its KLN water bottle, which is a BPA-free, dishwasher-safe, bubbly glass bottle in a soft silicone sleeve. The production process consists of three basic operations. In the first operation, the glass is formed by remelting cullets (broken or refuse glass). In the second operation, the glass is assembled with the silicone gasket and sleeve. The resulting product is finished in the final operation with the addition of the polypropylene cap. Consulting studies have indicated that of the total conversion costs required to complete a finished unit, the forming operation requires 60%, the assembly 30%, and the finishing 10%.
Cullets purchased $67,500
Silicone purchased $24,000
Polypropylene used $ 6,000
Total conversion costs incurred $68,850
Ending inventory, cullets $ 4,500
Ending inventory, silicone $ 3,000

Helsinki purchases artesian water, stores the water in large tanks, and then runs the water through two processes: Filtration, where workers microfilter and ozonate the water Bottling, where workers bottle and package the filtered water During December, the filtration process incurs the following costs in processing 200,000 liters: Wages of workers operating the filtration equipment $11,100 Wages of workers operating ozonation equipment $12,850 Manufacturing overhead allocated to filtration $24,050 Water $120,000 We now consider Helsinki's second process-Bottling. In the Bottling Department, workers bottle the filtered water and pack the bottles into boxes.

The manufacturing process entails mixing and adding juices and coloring ingredients at the bottling plant, which is a part of Mixing Division. The finished product is packaged in a company-produced glass bottle and packed in cases of 24 bottles each. Because the appearance of the bottle heavily influences sales volume, Amazon developed a unique bottle production process at the company’s container plant, which is a part of Container Division. Mixing Division uses all of the container plant’s production. Each division (Mixing and Container) is considered a separate profit center and evaluated as such. As the new corporate controller, you are responsible for determining the proper transfer price to use for the bottles produced for Mixing Division. At your request, Container Division’s general manager asked other bottle manufacturers to quote a price for the number and sizes…arrow_forwardThe Hershey Company (HSY) manufactures chocolate confectionery products.

- i. ii. The Organic Bread Company (OBC) makes a range of breads for sale direct to the public. The production process begins with workers weighing out ingredients on electronic scales and then placing them in a machine for mixing. A worker then manually removes the mix from the machine and shapes it into loaves by hand, after which the bread is then placed into the oven for baking. All baked loaves are then inspected by OBC's quality inspector before they are packaged up and made ready for sale. Any loaves which fail the inspection are donated to a local food bank. The standard cost card for OBC's 'Mixed Bloomer', one of its most popular loaves, is as follows: £ White flour 0.81 Wholegrain flour 0.33 0.20 Yeast Total 1.34 Budgeted production of Mixed Bloomers was 1,000 units for the quarter, although actual production was only 950 units.

After washing, the potatoes flow directly to an automatic peeler. The peeled potatoes then pass by inspectors, who manually cut out deep eyes or other blemishes. After inspection, the potatoes are automatically sliced and dropped into the cooking oil. The frying process is closely monitored by an employee. After the chips are cooked, they pass under a salting device and then pass by more inspectors, who sort out the unacceptable finished chips (those that are discolored or too small). The chips then continue on the conveyor belt to a bagging machine that bags them in 1-pound bags. After bagging, the bags are placed in a box and…arrow_forward

VVC has been in the vinyl siding business form any year sand is currently investigating ways to modernize its manufacturing process. At the first staff meeting Patrick attended, Jack Kielshesky , chief engineer, presented a proposal for automating the Molding Department. Kielshesky recommended that the company purchase two robots that would have the capability of replacing the eight direct-labor employees in the department. The cost savings outlined in the proposal include the elimination of direct-labor cost in the Molding Department plus a reduction of manufacturing overhead cost in the department to zero, because VVC charges manufacturing overhead on the basis of direct-labor dollars using a plant wide rate. The president of VVC was puzzled by Kielshesky's explanation: “This just doesn't make any sense. How can a department’s overhead…arrow_forwardCrex Co was set up by Cynthia Rex who created her own brand of chalk paint 20 years ago. Using her background in fine art, she developed this specialist chalk paint to be used in the restoration of furniture and to decorate accessories. The chalk paints are exclusively available through Crex Co's network of over 800 independent stockists who are located in over 30 countries around the world. The manufacturing process begins with the three chemicals required for the paint being measured on electronic scales. A worker then takes the chemicals and places them into a machine for mixing. Once mixed the worker removes the mixture from the machine and transfers it to tin containers. The standard material costs per litre of chalk paint are as follows: Litres required $ per litre 0.80 1.20 0.15 1.40 0.10 0.80 1.05 Material Latex paint Plaster of Paris Calcium carbonate At the end of the last period, actual output of the chalk paint was 3,325 litres and actual data relating to this production…arrow_forward
- California Circuits Company (3C) manufactures a variety of components. Its Valley plant specializes in two electronic components used in circuit boards. These components serve the same function and perform equally well. The difference in the two products is the raw material. The XL-D chip is the older of the two components and is made with a metal that requires a wash prior to assembly. Originally, the plant released the wastewater directly into a local river. Several years ago, the company was ordered to treat the wastewater before its release, and it installed relatively expensive equipment. While the equipment is fully depreciated, annual operating expenses of $242,000 are still incurred for wastewater treatment. Two years ago, company scientists developed an alloy with all of the properties of the raw materials used in XL-D that generates no wastewater. Some prototype components using the new material were produced and tested and found to be indistinguishable from the old…arrow_forwardCalifornia Circuits Company (3C) manufactures a variety of components.

Most of the material has been created and produced by Miami employees. There is some unique content, however, and that material differentiates the company from competitors. MTS includes this content in all its courses. This content was created and produced by one of the founders of MTS, who is about to leave the company. As a part of the compensation agreement to be signed, MTS may continue to use the unique content, but must pay the founder (the original creator) a royalty. Many of the details have been decided, but some specific issues need to be resolved. MTS is looking to you for advice on how to structure the agreement. Specifically, MTS is considering two options for paying the royalty. The first is course based, where MTS will pay the founder $1,000 for each of the courses sold. The second is a flat,…arrow_forward
