After obtaining the estimate of direct labor cost, the design engineer estimated the cost of the materials that would be used for the new product. 8. The design engineer totaled the costs of materials and direct labor for the new product. 9. The design engineer also estimated the cost of converting the raw materials into their final form. 10. The auditor for a soft drink bottling plant pointed out that the depreciation on the delivery trucks had been incorrectly assigned to product cost (through overhead). Accordingly, the depreciation charge was reallocated on the income statement. Required: Match the cost terms with the settings. More than one cost classification may be associated with each setting; however, select the setting that seems to fit the item best. When you are done, each cost term will be used just once.arrow_forwardLising Therapy has a physical therapist who performs electro-mechanical treatments for its patients.

The assisted living division provides residential space, meals, and medical services (MS) to its residents. The current costing system adds the cost of all of these services (space, meals, and MS) and divides by total resident days to get a cost per resident day for each month. Recognizing that MS tends to vary significantly among the residents, Grand Haven's accountant recommended that an ABC system be designed to calculate more accurately the cost of MS provided to residents. She decided that residents should be classified into four categories (A, B, C, D) based on the level of services received, with group A representing the lowest level of service and D representing the highest level of service. Two cost drivers being considered for measuring MS costs are number of assistance calls and number of assistant…arrow_forwardSara has just taken a job as the middle school assistant principal for an area school district. Prior to Chis, she was a teacher. She has received the following performance measurements for her first administrative job. Her first order of business is to determine if these performance measurements are short-term goals or long-term goals based on her individual situation. She has completed her administrative degree but has not yet worked as an administrator. Identify each of the following goals as short term or long term. A. Conduct teacher walk-throughs/observations/evaluations for teachers of grades 6 and 7. B. Assist the districts mission in seeking to educate all youth in the school district. C. Train to become a building instructional leader. Act as building administrator in the absence of the principal. D. Attend meetings with building principals and the administrative team when called to do so. E. Engage all students in a meaningful way, and support teachers and staff in providing rigor and relevance. Success of school-wide discipline and attendance policies and enforcement depends on a combination of creativity and sound pedagogy while adhering to district, state, and federal law, guidelines, and regulations.

- A marketing professor at Givens College is interested in the relationship between hours spent studying and total points earned in a course. Data collected on 156 students who took the course last semester are provided in the tile MktHrsPts. Develop a scatter chart for these data. What does the scatter chart indicate about the relationship between total points earned and hours spent studying? Develop an estimated regression equation showing how total points earned is related to hours spent studying. What is the estimated regression model? Test whether each of the regression parameters β0 and β1 is equal to zero at a 0.01 level of significance. What are the correct interpretations of the estimated regression parameters? Are these interpretations reasonable? How much of the variation in the sample values of total point earned does the model you estimated in part (b) explain? Mark Sweeney spent 95 hours studying.

Using the monthly utilization information presented below, and omitting the Community College training packs, find the fixed and variable portion of costs through the high-low method. Note that the college only acquires packs in three months of the year: January, May, and September. These dates coincide with the start dates of their semesters and summer school 2. The reason the Education Coordinator needs to know how much of the cost is fixed is because she is supposed to collect the appropriate variable cost from the Community College for their packs. For her purposes, which computation do you believe is better? Why?

- Deepa Dalal opened a free-standing radiology clinic. She had anticipated that the costs for the radiological tests would be primarily fixed, but she found that costs increased with the number of tests performed. Costs for this service over the past nine months are as follows: Required: 1. Prepare a scattergraph based on the preceding data. Use cost for the vertical axis and number of radiology tests for the horizontal axis. Based on an examination of the scattergraph, does there appear to be a linear relationship between the cost of radiology service and the number of tests? 2. Compute the cost formula for radiology services using the high-low method. 3. Calculate the predicted cost of radiology services for October for 3,500 tests using the formula found in Requirement 2.arrow_forwardThe controller of Emery, Inc. has computed quality costs as a percentage of sales for the past 5 years (20X1 was the first year the company implemented a quality improvement program). This information is as follows: Required: 1. Prepare a trend graph for total quality costs. Comment on what the graph has to say about the success of the quality improvement program. 2. Prepare a graph that shows the trend for each quality cost category. What does the graph have to say about the success of the quality improvement program? Does this graph supply more insight than the total cost trend graph does? 3. Prepare a graph that compares the trend in relative control costs versus relative failure costs. Comment on the significance of this trend.arrow_forwardProvidence Hospital generates monthly performance reports for each of its departments. The hospital must maintain an adequate staff of attending and on-call physicians at all times, so physician costs are not affected by the number of patient visits. But all other costs do vary with patient activity. Nurse- hours are used as the activity measure for nursing costs, and patient visits are used as the activity measure for the cost of supplies and other variable costs. The head physician of the hospital's emergency room, Yolanda Mortensen, is responsible for control of costs. During October, the emergency room unit expected to treat 3,500 patients but actually treated 4,000 patients. The following additional information for October is available: Budget Actual Variance Nurse-hours 2,100 2,320 -220 Nursing costs $46,200 $30,000 $16,200 Supplies & other variable $38,500 $25,500 $13,000 costs Fixed costs $104,200 $109,900 $-5,700 Required Compute the flexible-budget variances for each of the…arrow_forward
