278) Differentiate between fixed and variable costs and give an example of each. Answer: Fixed costs stay constant in total over a wide range of activity levels. For instance, the rent on a factory is the same whether 10,000 products are produced each month or 1,000 products are produced. Variable costs change in total in direct proportion to changes in volume. If the variable cost of producing one item is $1, and if 10,000 units are produced, the cost will be $10,000 and if only 1,000 units are produced, the cost will be only $1,000.

Answer: When materials are purchased, they increase raw materials inventory. As these materials are requisitioned, they are moved out of the raw materials inventory. Direct materials are moved to work in process inventory and indirect materials go to manufacturing overhead. A predetermined manufacturing overhead rate is used to allocate manufacturing overhead costs to work in process inventory. When a job is completed, the costs are moved from work in process inventory to finished goods inventory where they remain until the product is sold. At that point, the costs are transferred from finished goods inventory to cost of goods sold.

226) Victoria Technologies makes a part used in the manufacture of digital cameras. Management is considering whether to continue manufacturing the part, or to buy the part from an outside source at a cost of $24.00 per part. Victoria Technologies needs 60,000 parts per year. The cost of manufacturing 60,000 parts is computed as follows: Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead Total manufacturing costs

$ 750,000 600,000 525,000 750,000 $2,525,0000

If Victoria Technologies buys the part, it would pay $.60 per unit to transport the parts to its manufacturing plant. Purchasing the part from an outside source would enable the company to avoid 50% of fixed manufacturing overhead costs. Victoria Technologies' factory space freed up by purchasing the part from an outside supplier could be used to manufacture another product with a contribution margin of $70,000. Prepare an analysis to show which alternative makes the best use of Victoria Technologies' factory space: 1) Make the part 2) Buy the part and leave facilities idle 3) Buy the part and use facilities to make another product

227) Define the term constraints and give an example. What product should be made first when resource constraints exist? Answer: Constraints are the limited resources that restrict production or sale of a product, and they vary from company to company. For a manufacturer, production may be constrained by labor hours, machine hours, or available materials. For a merchandiser, the primary constraint is cubic feet of display space. When resource constraints exist, the company should focus on selling the products with the highest contribution margin per unit of the constraint.

105) List the operating budgets. Describe the purpose of each of the budgets listed and the order in which they are prepared. Describe how the budgets are interrelated. Answer: The operating budgets are as follows: 1. Sales budget — shows the number of units to be sold and the total sales revenue. 2. Production budget — shows the number of units to be produced to support the sales to be made. 3. Direct materials budget — shows the amount and dollar amount of direct materials to be purchased to support the production budget. 4. Direct labor budget — shows the number of direct labor hours required to support the number of products to be purchased from the production budget. 5. Manufacturing overhead budget — shows the budgeted manufacturing overhead to be incurred to support the number of units being produced as denoted on the production budget. 6. Operating expenses budget — all research and development, design, marketing, distribution, and customer service costs will be shown on the operating expenses budget. 7. Budgeted income statement — is constructed after preparing all of the above budgets. The operating budgets are the budgets needed to run the daily operations of the company. The operating budgets culminate in a budgeted income statement. The starting point of the operating budgets is the sales budget, because it affects most other components of the master budget. After estimating sales, manufacturers prepare the production budget, which determines how many units need to be produced. Once production volume is established, managers prepare the budgets determining the amounts of direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead that will be needed to meet production. Next, managers prepare the operating expenses budget. After all of these budgets are prepared, management will be able to prepare the budgeted income statement.

169) Define operating budgets and financial budgets. List the specific budgets which are operating budgets. List the specific budgets which are financial budgets. Answer: Operating budgets: 1. sales budget 2. production budget 3. direct materials budget 4. direct labor budget 5. manufacturing overhead budget 6. operating expenses budget 7. budgeted income statement The operating budgets are the budgets needed to run the daily operations of the company. The operating budgets culminate in a budgeted income statement. The starting point of the operating budgets is the sales budget, because it affects most other components of the master budget. After estimating sales, manufacturers prepare the production budget, which determines how many units need to be produced. Once production volume is established, managers prepare the budgets determining the amounts of direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead that will be needed to meet production. Next, managers prepare the operating expenses budget. After all of these budgets are prepared, management will be able to prepare the budgeted income statement. Financial budgets: 1. capital expenditures budget 2. cash budgets 3. budgeted balance sheet The financial budgets project the collection and payment of cash, as well as forecast the company's budgeted balance sheet. The capital expenditure budget shows the company's plan for purchasing property, plant, and equipment. The cash budget projects the cash that will be available to run the company's operations and determines whether the company will have extra funds to invest or whether the company will need to borrow cash. Finally, the budgeted balance sheet forecasts the company's position at the end of the budget period.

207) List the four areas of a balanced scorecard. Describe each area. Define "key performance indicator" (KPI). Give an example of a KPI for each balanced scorecard area Answer: 1. Financial Perspective─The financial perspective helps managers answer the question, how do we look to shareholders? The ultimate goal of a company is to generate income for its owners. The financial perspective focuses management's attention on KPIs that assess financial objectives such as revenue growth and cost cutting. Some commonly used KPIs include sales revenue growth, gross margin growth, and return on investment. 2. Customer Perspective─The customer perspective helps managers evaluate the question, how do customers see us? Customers are typically concerned with four specific product or service attributes: (1) the product's price, (2) the product's quality, (3) the sales service quality, and (4) the product's delivery time (the shorter the better). Some commonly used KPIs include average customer satisfaction rating, percentage market share, increase in number of customers, number of repeat customers, and rate of on-time deliveries. 3. Internal Business Perspective─The internal business perspective helps managers address the question, at what business processes must we excel to satisfy customer and financial objectives? The answer to that question incorporates three factors: (1) innovation, (2) operations, and (3) post-sales service. In addition to customer satisfaction ratings, the customer perspective is often measured using KPIs such as number of new products developed, new product development time defect rate, manufacturing lead time, yield rate, number of warranty claims received, and average repair time. 4. Learning and Growth Perspective─The learning and growth perspective helps managers assess the question, can we continue to improve and create value? The learning and growth perspective focuses on three factors: (1) employee capabilities, (2) information system capabilities, and (3) the company's "climate for action." The learning and growth perspective measures employees' skills, knowledge, motivation, and empowerment. KPIs typically include hours of employee training, employee satisfaction, employee turnover, and number of employee suggestions implemented. Note: Student examples may vary.

37) Common Paper Supply produces paper cups for a national chain of coffee shops. Twenty-five percent of the paper used to produce the cups comes from post-consumer (recycled) paper. This satisfies the demands of the national coffee chain, which, for public relations reasons, requires a certain percentage of recycled content. Common Paper has developed a new method that will allow it to increase the percentage of postconsumer material per cup, while reducing the total paper needed per cup. This is a selling feature for the coffee chain and also reduces Common Paper's costs. The proposed method will reduce the total quantity of paper required per cup of .004 pounds by 15%, but will increase the overall cost of paper per pound from $1.20 per pound to $1.30 per pound. The new method also requires a one-time charge of $9,000 for re-tooling. Beginning inventory for the year will be 240 pounds and desired ending inventory is 1,200 pounds. Total production for the year is projected at 3,000,000 cups. If Common Paper implements the new system, what is the expected cost savings for paper purchased during the year?

39) Serenity Now Industries manufactures custom fiberglass hulls for luxury yachts and pleasure boats. The current cost accounting system uses machine hours to allocate manufacturing overhead to each job. Serenity estimates that in the coming year it will incur $600,000 in manufacturing overhead costs and use 8,000 machine hours. Depending on the specifications requested by the customer, the hull may use hazardous chemicals that incur greater disposal costs. Serenity's traditional accounting system includes the cost of hazardous waste disposal in with total manufacturing overhead. Serenity is planning to implement an activity based costing system to more accurately assign hazardous waste disposal costs to each job. Expected usage and costs for manufacturing overhead are as follows: Cost pool description Machine maintenance costs Engineering change orders Hazardous waste disposal

Cost pool $200,000 $100,000 $300,000 $600,000

Cost driver Number of machine hours

Cost driver usage Cost pool rate 8,000

Number of change orders 1,250.00 Gallons of hazard waste generated 800

$25.00 $80.00 $375.00

During the year, Yacht #633 was started and completed: DM cost per lb Lbs of DM used on job DL cost per hr DLH used
