PART 2
Question 1
Jacob Davis recently graduated from medical school. He is considering opening his own family practice doctor office. A doctor’s office is a high-fixed cost business, as it requires considerable expenditures for facilities, labor, and equipment, no matter how many families are served. Assume the annual fixed cost of operations is $400,000. Further assume that the only significant variable cost relates to patients served. An average patient served costs $250. Jacob’s banker has asked a variety of questions in contemplation of providing a loan for this business.
Requirements:
If the average family is charged $475 for services, how many families must be served to clear the break-even point?
If the banker believes Jacob will only serve 1,000 families during the first year in business, how much will the business lose during its first year of operation?
If Jacob believes his profits will be at least $100,000 during the first year, how much is he anticipating for total revenue?
The banker has suggested that Jacob can reduce his fixed costs by $100,000 if he will not purchase certain equipment. Jacob can instead lease or rent this equipment as needed. The variable cost of leasing this equipment is $55 per family served. Will this suggestion help Jacob reach the break-even point sooner?
Question 2

Total gallons produced   1,625,000
Total gallons sold             1,500,000
Requirement:
Prepare income statements based on the absorption costing and variable costing methods.

Question 1
Rayol Inc uses a process cost system to accumulate the costs it incurs to produce aluminum stabilizers from recycled aluminum cans. The July 1 inventory in the finishing department consisted of 63,000 units, fully complete as to materials and 80 per cent complete as to conversion.
The beginning inventory cost $288,000 consisted of $216,000 of costs transferred in from the molding department conversion costs (conversion costs are direct labor and overhead). The costs incurred in the finishing department for July appear as follows:

Question 3

Clarke manufactures and sells two products. The first product is a disposable shaving razor blade that lasts about 7 days. The second product is shaving cream. Customers of the first product use one bottle of shaving cream every 28 days. As a result, razor blades outsell shaving cream by a 4:1 ratio. Shaving Cream sells for $8 per bottle, and has a contribution margin ratio of 50%. The razor blades sell for $3 per blade, but only generate variables costs of $1.50. The company’s total fixed costs are $3,500,000.

Requirements:

a. What level of total sales is necessary to achieve break even?
b. If a competitor began selling razors that forced Clarke to reduce the price for its razors to $2.50 (to maintain market share and the 4:1 ratio of razors to shaving cream), how many Razor sets must be sold for the company to break even?

Question 4

Cyber Inc manufactures networking devices for personal computer systems, using just-in-time methods. After receiving an order for 300 devices, the company bought materials (for cash) costing $14,000 to fill this order. It incurred labor and overhead costs of $48,000, of which $10,000 was for wages and the rest overhead.
After the production was finished, but before all goods were sold, the company needed to compute an inventory cost for financial statement purposes. The cost of finished goods inventory was $2,480.

Requirements:

a. Use T-accounts to show the flow of costs under traditional costing system
b. Prepare journal entries for these transactions using backflush costing.
c. Use T-accounts to show the flow of costs using a JIT system with backflush costing.

ACCT 221 Week 8 Comprehensive Problem, Chapters 19-26

Comprehensive Problem: Chapters 19 to 26

You would like to start a business manufacturing a unique model of bicycle helmet. In preparation for an interview with the bank to discuss your financing needs, you need to provide the following information. A number of assumptions are required; clearly note all assumptions that you make.

Instructions

(a)          Identify the types of costs that would likely be involved in making this product.

(b)          Set up five columns as indicated.

Product Costs                                 .

Item         Direct Materials             Direct Labor        Manufacturing        Overhead      Period Costs

Classify the costs you identified in (a) into the manufacturing cost classifications of product costs (direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead) and period costs.

(c)           Assign hypothetical monthly dollar figures to the costs you identified in (a) and (b).

(d)          Assume you have no raw materials or work in process beginning or ending inventories. Prepare a projected cost of goods manufactured schedule for the first month of operations.

(e)          Project the number of helmets you expect to produce the first month of operations. Compute the cost to produce one bicycle helmet. Review the result to ensure it is reasonable; if not, return to part (c) and adjust the monthly dollar figures you assigned accordingly.

(f)           What type of cost accounting system will you likely use—job order or process costing?

(g)          Explain how you would assign costs in either the job order or process costing system you plan to use.

(h)          Classify your costs as either variable or fixed costs. For simplicity, assign all costs to either variable or fixed, assuming there are no mixed costs, using the format shown.

Item      Variable Costs   Fixed Costs         Total Costs

(i)            Compute the unit variable cost, using the production number you determined in(e).

(j)           Project the number of helmets you anticipate selling the first month of operations. Set a unit selling price, and compute both the contribution margin per unit and the contribution margin ratio.

(k)          Determine your break-even point in dollars and in units.

(l)            Prepare projected operating budgets (sales, production, direct materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead, selling and administrative expense, and income statement). You will need to make assumptions for each of the following:

Direct materials budget:               Quantity of direct materials required to produce one helmet; cost per unit of quantity; desired ending direct materials (assume none).

Direct labor budget:        Direct labor time required per helmet; direct labor cost per hour.

Budgeted income statement:    Income tax expense is 45% of income from operations.

(m)         Prepare a cash budget for the month. Assume the percentage of sales that will be collected from customers is 75%, and the percentage of direct materials that will be paid in the current month is 75%.

(n)          Determine a relevant range of activity, using the number of helmets produced as your activity index. Recast your manufacturing overhead budget into a flexible monthly budget for two additional activity levels.

(o)          Identify one potential cause of materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead variances for your product.

(p)          Assume that you wish to purchase production equipment that costs $720,000. Determine the cash payback period, utilizing the monthly cash flow that you computed in part (m) multiplied by 12 months (for simplicity).

(q)          Identify any nonfinancial factors that should be considered before commencing your business venture.
