SECTION I - MULTIPLE CHOICE (60points - 3 points each) - Please choose the BEST answer for each question and record your answer on the Scantron answer sheet.

1. In a job-order cost system using normal costing, debits to work-in-process inventory can originate from all of the following except:

A. Applying manufacturing overhead using the predetermined overhead rateB. Assigning direct labor from a timekeeping system (time cards)C. Assigning actual manufacturing overhead costs to jobsD. Assigning direct materials from the purchasing system (requisition slips)E. Proration of over- or underapplied manufacturing overhead

2. MNS Company uses a normal cost system. Costs for the year were:

Applied manufacturing overhead $400,000Cost of goods manufactured, pre-adjustment $880,000Actual manufacturing overhead $392,600

Finished goods inventory was $218,000 on January 1 and $190,000 on December 31. If MNS closes over- or underapplied manufacturing overhead to cost of goods sold at year-end, what is the adjusted cost of goods sold for the year?

A. $857,400B. $900,600C. $915,400D. $942,600E. $908,000

3. Suppose MNS Company (from the prior question) instead preferred to prorate its over- or underapplied manufacturing overhead. The December 31 adjustment to work-in-process inventory (WIP) is calculated as over- or underapplied manufacturing overhead multiplied by which of the following?

A. (Raw materials + Direct labor) / Total manufacturing overhead appliedB. (Raw materials + Direct labor) / Manufacturing overhead applied to ending WIPC. Manufacturing overhead applied to ending WIP / Total manufacturing overhead appliedD. Manufacturing overhead applied to ending WIP / (Raw materials + Direct labor)E. It is not possible to prorate in this case

4. Wolfpack Company uses weighted-average process costing for the product it manufactures. All direct materials are added at the beginning of production, and conversion costs are applied evenly during production.

The following data apply to the past month:Physical units in beginning inventory (30% complete as to conversion costs) 1,500Physical units transferred to finished goods inventory 7,400Physical units in ending inventory (60% complete as to conversion costs) 2,300

How many physical units did Wolfpack start into production during the past month?

A. 7,400B. 8,200C. 8.900D. 9,700E. 11,200

FGI_Beg $218,000+CGM $880,000 – 400,000 + 392,600- FGI_End $190,000COGS $900,600

Beginning WIP 1,500+ Started ????? Total ?????Completed/transferred 7,400Ending WIP 2,300 Total 9,700

9,700

9,700 – 1,500 = 8,200


5. Referring back to the data in the prior question, Wolfpack Company’s total equivalent units for materials and conversion costs, respectively, equal:

A. 9,700 & 9,700B. 9,700 & 8,780C. 7,400 & 8,780D. 7,400 & 7,400E. 9,700 & 8,330

6. Wahoo Inc. has fixed costs per unit of $20 when the company produces 25,000 units. At the same level of production, total variable costs are $200,000. What is the total cost when Wahoo produces 50,000 units?

A. $700,000B. $800,000C. $900,000D. $1,200,000E. $1,400,000

7. WestCo makes two products: X, produced in batches of 10 units, and Y, produced in batches of 100 units. Its ABC system has eight activity cost pools. One of those pools is Shipping, and the cost driver for Shipping is Production Batches. Which one of the following statements about the cost of X and Y is true?

A. Each unit of X is assigned the same Shipping cost as each unit of YB. Each unit of X is assigned more Shipping cost than each unit of YC. Each unit of Y is assigned more Shipping cost than each unit of X D. We cannot know in advance how much Shipping cost will be assigned to each productE. We can know in advance how much Shipping cost will be assigned to each product, but the amount

assigned to X and Y will depend on the other seven cost pools and cost drivers

Use the following information for the next three questions.

Stuart Company uses an actual costing system and the accounting records reflect the following inventory information:

Raw materials inventory increased by $20,000 during the yearWork-in-process inventory increased by $125,000 during the yearFinished goods inventory decreased by $10,000 during the year

During the year, Stuart purchased $950,000 of raw materials, incurred direct labor costs of $125,000 and incurred manufacturing overhead totaling $160,000.

A. $1,070,000B. $1,050,000C. $970,000D. $950,000E. $930,000

Total FC = 25,000 x $20 = $500,000VC/Unit = $200,000 / 25,000 = $8/unitSo…$500,000 FC + ($8 VC/unit x 50,000 units) = $900,000

RM_Beg + Additions – Deductions(DM) = RM_EndRM_Beg + $950k – DM = (RM_Beg + $20k)DM = $930k


9. After finding an error in the accounting records, Stuart Company concludes that the amount of raw material put into production during the year was actually $1,000,000 (i.e., ignore your answer to the prior question and use this value in calculations for this question) How much is cost of goods manufactured during the year?

SECTION II (40 points) You MUST show your work to receive credit for your answers and to receive partial credit. Please try to be as neat and organized as possible.

Problem 1 ( 12 points)

Thompson Products has a job-order costing system. Manufacturing overhead is applied using a predetermined overhead rate of 50% of direct labor cost, and over- or underapplied overhead is only adjusted at the end of the year (December 31). Thompson provided the information below:

May 1 May 31Raw materials inventory $8,000 $12,000Work in process inventory $15,000 $9,000Finished goods inventory $32,000 $18,000

During May, gross margin was 30% of sales and Thompson sold 25,000 units at an average price of $28/unit. The applied manufacturing overhead for May was $120,000.

Required

A. Compute the cost of goods sold for May. (3 points)

B. Compute the cost of goods manufactured for May. (3 points)

C. Compute the amounts of (i) direct materials used (3 points) and (ii) raw materials purchased (3 points) during May.

Sales – COGS = Gross Margin, soCOGS = Sales – Gross Margin

Sales = (25,000 units x $28/unit) = $700,000Gross Margin = 30% x Sales = 30% x $700,000 = $210,000 COGS = $700,000 - $210,000 = $490,000

Cost of goods manufactured (CGM) = Additions to Finished-goods inventory (FGI)From the “Schedule of COGS”: Beginning FGI + CGM – Ending FGI = COGS, soCGM = COGS + Ending FGI – Beginning FGI

COGS = $490,000 (from part A) and Beginning and Ending FGI are given, so CGM = $490,000 + $18,000 - $32,000 = $476,000

From the “Schedule of CGM”:CGM = Total manufacturing costs (TMC) + Beginning WIP inventory – Ending WIP inventory, soTMC = CGM – Beginning WIP + Ending WIP

= $476,000 (from part B) - $15,000 (given) + $9,000 (given)= $470,000

TMC = Direct materials (used) + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead applied$470,000 = DM_Used + ($120,000 / 50%)* + $120,000 (given), and solving for DM we getDM_used = $110,000 * Overhead is applied at 50% of DL$

Ending raw materials (RM) inventory = Beginning RM inventory + RM_purchased – DM_used, soRM_purchased = Ending RM inventory – Beginning RM inventory + DM_used

= $12,000 (given) - $8,000 (given) + $110,000 (above)= $114,000


Problem 2 (9 points, plus 3 points extra credit if you solve part D)

Vail Inc. manufactures a product that goes through several departments prior to completion. The following information is available from the mixing department during June.

Physical % Complete Units Materials Conversion Work in process, beginning 20,000 100% 75%Started into production 180,000Completed and transferred out 160,000Work in process, ending 40,000 100% 25%

Cost in beginning inventory and cost added during June were as follows:

Materials Conversion Work in process, beginning $25,200 $24,800Cost added during June $334,800 $238,700

The company uses the weighted-average process costing method to compute unit costs. The Mixing department is the first department in the production process, after mixing has been completed; the units are transferred to the molding department.

Required

A. Calculate the equivalent units of production for direct materials and conversion costs. (3 points)

B. Calculate the total cost of ending work in process. (3 points)

Cost per Equivalent Unit:DM ($25,200 + $334,800) / 200,000 EU = $1.80/EUConv Cost ($24,800 + $238700) / 170,000 EU = $1.55/EU

Ending WIP= (40,000 EU x $1.80/EU) + (10,000 EU x $1.55/EU)= $72,000 + $15,500= $87,500


(Problem 2, conclusion)

C. Calculate the total cost of goods completed and transferred out. (3 points)

D. In the following month (July), $317,980 of raw materials were put into production, and all July ending WIP units were again 100% complete for direct materials. If the cost per equivalent unit of direct materials in July was $0.05 per equivalent unit greater than in June, how many physical units of Vail’s product were started in the Mixing department in July? (3 points extra credit)

Cost per Equivalent Unit:DM ($25,200 + $334,800) / 200,000 EU = $1.80/EUConv Cost ($24,800 + $238700) / 170,000 EU = $1.55/EU

Completed and transferred out = 160,000 EU x ($1.80/EU + $1.55/EU)= $536,000

Cost per Equivalent Unit of DM in July: $1.80 (from June, part B) + $0.05 = $1.85

Total cost in July: ($317,980 given + $72,000 June ending WIP for DM from part B) = $389,980

July EU for DM = $389,980 / $1.85 = 210,800 and for DM, EU = physical units

Since total physical units accounted for = 210,800 and the beginning WIP contained 40,000 units (ending WIP units for June), the Step 1 calculation yields(210,800 – 40,000) = 170,800 units started in July.


Problem 3 (19 points)

Lonestar Ltd. manufactures several high-priced talking-animal toys, including Bevos (3’-tall longhorns that wiggle their horns and say things like “Hook 'em, horns” and “A&M sucks!”) and Dillos (life-sized armadillos that flatten out and develop tire marks when touched and say things like “Please don’t hit me” and “No, I’m not diseased.”). Their products are sold through high-end retail outlets and Texas specialty shops.

The firm presently computes a single, plant-wide predetermined overhead rate based on direct-labor hours, and direct labor hours for the present period are budgeted at 17,000. Production and product costing budget data are as follows:

Dillos Bevos Production quantity 1,000 units 5,000 units

Direct material per unitBevo Voice and Wiggle mechanism $12.50Dillo Voice and Flatten mechanism $25.00Fabric and stuffing $10.00 $17.50

Direct labor per unit 0.5 hr. 1.5 hr.(at $15 per hour)

Manufacturing overhead costs for all products have been assigned to the following cost pools/activities:Sewing and Assembly $ 450,000Setup and Inspection $ 180,000Product Support $ 90,000Plant Operations $ 96,000

Lonestar Ltd. would like to price their products at 130% of production cost.

Required

A. Compute the single, pre-determined overhead rate for the direct-labor based system. (3 points)

Overhead = ($450,000 + $180,000 + $90,000 + $96,000) = $816,000

DLH = 17,000 (given)

DLH-Based Overhead Rate = $816,000/17,000 = $48 per DLH

B. Compute Lonestar’s desired selling price for each product under the direct-labor based system. (3 points)

Dillos: Bevos:

Dillos BevosDM $35.00 $30.00DL $7.50 $22.50MOH (0.5x$48; 1.5x$48) $24.00 $72.00Total Production Cost 66.50 $124.50Mark-Up 1.30 1.30Desired Selling Price $86.45 $161.85

(Problem 3, continued)


C. The following cost drivers have been identified for the four cost pools:

Cost Pool Cost Driver Cost Driver Quantity Sewing and Assembly Machine hours (MH) 20,000 hrs.Setup and Inspection Number of production runs (PR) 100 runsProduct Support Engineering change orders (CO) 240 change ordersPlant Operations Square feet of plant space (SF) 19,200

You have gathered the following information specific to the Dillo and Bevo products:

Each Dillo requires 4 machine hours. Bevos require only 1 machine hour each since they are primarily hand sewn.

Dillos are manufactured in production runs of 50 units each. Bevos are manufactured in 250-unit batches.

It is anticipated that Dillos will need 75 change orders during the period and Bevos will need 25.

The plant has 19,200 square feet of space, 30% of which is used in the production of Bevos and 15% in the production of Dillos (the rest is used for other products not considered here).

Compute the desired selling price of each product using this information in an ABC system (the remainder of this page and the next page can be used for your work). (8 points)

Dillos: Bevos: (please round answers to the nearest cent)

(Problem 3, conclusion)

D. Very briefly what two characteristics make Lonestar a desirable setting for an ABC system? (3 points)

E. If prices for Lonestar’s toys are set by a competitive market and a normal amount of competition is present, which of the two products considered in this problem is most likely to be considered unprofitable (or at least insufficiently profitable) by Lonestar when viewed through the lens of the present (single-pool, DLH-based) cost system? (No explanation required) (2 points)

1. Product diversity (consumption of overhead, as indicated by cost drivers, differs significantly between products)

2. Presence of a significant proportion of non-unit level costs (cost diversity)

Bevos (The competitive market will force the price to be near the ABC-based price of $116.97, or even less if the competition will not allow a 30% margin. Under the present cost system, Lonestar views the costs of Bevos to be $124.50 and would consider them as underperformers unless they can sell for the 30%-margin level of $161.85 – not likely in a normally competitive market.)
