Franklin, Inc uses activity-based costing. The company produces X and Y. Information relating to the two products is as follows:
X Y
Units produced 38,000 50,000
Machine-hours 15,000 17,000
Direct labor-hours 16,000 24,000
Materials handling (number of moves) 8,000 12,000
Setups 10,000 14,000
The following costs are reported:
Materials handling $160,000
Labor-related overhead 480,000
Setups 240,000
Labor-related overhead costs assigned to product X are:________
A. $192,000
B. $232,000
C. $288,000
D. $272,500

Answer:

A. $192,000

Explanation:

The computation of the labor related overhead cost is shown below:

= (Labor related overhead cost) ÷ (Total direct labor hours) × direct labor hours of X

= ($480,000) ÷ (16,000 hours + 24,000 hours) × 16,000 hours

= $192,000

hence, the correct option is A.

A manager is trying to decide whether to purchase a certain part or to have it produced internally. Internal production could use either of two processes. One would entail a variable cost of $17 per unit and an annual fixed cost of $200,000; the other would entail a variable cost of $14 per unit and an annual fixed cost of $240,000. Three vendors are willing to provide the part. Vendor A has a price of $20 per unit for any volume up to 30,000 units. Vendor B has a price of $22 per unit for demand of 1,000 units or less, and $18 per unit for larger quantities. Vendor C offers a price of $21 per unit for the first 1,000 units, and $19 per unit for additional units.
A. If the manager anticipates an annual volume of 10,000 units, which alternative would be best from a cost standpoint? For 20,000 units, which alternative would be best?

You are a supplier of printed circuit boards (PCBs). Production of the circuit boards consists of several steps – Surface Mounting, Baking, and Final Assembly. Surface Mounting puts integrated circuits (ICs) and other components on a PCB. These PCBs are then Baked as a batch and kept in an oven for some time so that the ICs are soldered onto the PCBs. Finally, these PCBs are taken and manually assembled into a case, and wired with connectors. The processing rate at the Surface Mounting station is 15 PCBs/minute, the processing rate for Baking is 5 PCBs/minute, and the processing rate for Final Assembly is 3 PCBs/minute. If there are on average 24 units of (work in process) inventory and the system is working at capacity, what is the flow (throughput) time for PCBs?
