2.The company "Chanos Ltd" produces puzzles for adults within the framework of a standardized mass production. The production process uses 2 basic raw materials: cardboard and high quality ink. For the manufacture of a puzzle, half a square meter of cardboard and 0.1 kg of ink are required. The cardboard is inserted at the beginning of the production process and the ink is added at the end by printing the design on the now perforated puzzle. The company uses the cost flow assumption F.I.F.O. to value its inventories.
Here are some data for the month of August 20X6:
The initial stock of semi-finished on 1/8/20X6 was 2,000 puzzles processed at 20% in terms of conversion costs. The cost of the initial stock amounted to €28,000 in terms of cardboard costs and €35,000 in terms of conversion costs.
The conversion cost for the month amounted to € 20,300.
The final stock of semi-finished on 31/8/20X6 was 3,000 puzzles processed at 40% in terms of conversion costs.

- Clearview Window Company manufactures windows for the home-building industry. The window frames are produced in the Frame Division. The frames are then transferred to the Glass Division, where the glass and hardware are installed. The company’s best-selling product is a three-by-four-foot, doublepaned operable window. The Frame Division also can sell frames directly to custom home builders, who install the glass and hardware. The sales price for a frame is $80. The Glass Division sells its finished windows for $190. The markets for both frames and finished windows exhibit perfect competition. The standard variable cost of the window is detailed as follows: Frame Division Glass Division Direct material $ 15 $ 30 * Direct labor 20 15 Variable overhead 30 30 Total $ 65 $ 75 *Not including the transfer price for the frame.

Cocoa pods are opened with a machete, and the beans inside are removed and then dried to be turned into the cocoa that is used in the production of chocolate. Much of the world’s cocoa comes from countries in Africa like Ghana and the Ivory Coast, countries located near the equator where growing conditions are ideal. The labor intensive nature of harvesting the beans has led many producers to turn to children as a source of labor, and often to child slave labor. The public outcry over the situation has prompted some chocolate producers to turn to Fair Trade cooperatives for their cocoa. These groups of farmers have committed to eliminating the use of child labor especially child slave labor. In doing so, however, their cost of production has risen and so has the cost of their final product. Both large companies like Cadbury, Nestle, and Mars as well as smaller chocolate producers are…arrow_forwardMuffin Factory (MF) bakes and sells muffins. MF buys materials from suppliers and bakes, frosts, and packages them for resale. Currently the firm offers 2 different types of muffins to gourmet bake shops in boxes, each containing a dozen muffins. The major cost is direct materials; however, a substantial amount of factory overhead is incurred in the baking, frosting, and packing process. MF prices its muffins at full product cost, including allocated overhead, plus a markup of 40%. Data for the current budget include factory overhead of $919,400, which has been allocated by its current costing system on the basis of each product’s direct labor cost. The budgeted direct labor cost for the current year totals $300,000. The budgeted direct costs for a one-dozen box of two of the company’s most popular muffins are as follows: Costs per one dozen Blueberry Cinnamon Activity Cost Driver Budgeted Activity Budgeted Cost Direct materials $…arrow_forward
- Avenger Toy Shop produces and sells children’s toys such as puzzles and tents which help the development of young minds.

- Quality Clothing, Inc., produces skorts and jumper uniforms for schoolchildren. In the process of cutting out the cloth pieces for each product, a certain amount of scrap cloth is produced. Quality has been selling this cloth scrap to Jorges Scrap Warehouse for $3.25 per pound. Last year, the company sold 40,000 lb. of scrap, which would be enough to make 10,000 teddy bears that the management of Quality is now interested in producing. Their processes would need some reprogramming, particularly in the cutting and stitching processes, but it would require no additional worker training. However, new packaging would be needed. The total variable cost to produce the teddy bears $3.85. Fixed costs would increase by $95,000 per year for the lease of the packaging equipment and Quality estimates it could produce and sell 10,000 teddy bears per year. Finished teddy bears could be sold for $18.00 each. Should Quality continue to sell the scrap cloth or should Quality process the scrap into teddy bears to sell?arrow_forwardKosakowski Corporation processes sugar beets in batches.
