Cornerstone Exercise 7.1 (Algorithmic)
Calculating and Using a Single Charging Rate
The expected costs for the Maintenance Department of Stazler, Inc., for the coming year include:
Fixed costs (salaries, tools): $61,600 per year
Variable costs (supplies): $1.40 per maintenance hour

Estimated usage by:
|
|
Assembly Department
|
4,500
|
|
Fabricating Department
|
6,400
|
|
Packaging Department
|
11,100

|
Total maintenance hoarse
|
20,550
|
Required:
1. Calculate a single charging rate for the Maintenance Department. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
2. Use this rate to assign the costs of the Maintenance Department to the user departments based on actual usage. Calculate the total amount charged for maintenance for the year.
3. What if the Assembly Department used 3,800 maintenance hours in the year? How much would have been charged out to the three departments?
Cornerstone Exercise 7.7 (Algorithmic)
Allocating Joint Costs Using the Physical Units Method
Orchard Fresh, Inc., purchases apples from local orchards and sorts them into four categories. Grade A are large blemish-free apples that can be sold to gourmet fruit sellers. Grade B apples are smaller and may be slightly out of proportion. These are packed in boxes and sold to grocery stores. Apples for slices are even smaller than Grade B apples and have blemishes. Apples for applesauce are of lower grade than apples for slices, yet still suitable for canning. Information on a recent purchase of 28,000 pounds of apples is as follows:
|

|
|
Applesauce
|

|
|
Total
|
28,000
|
Total joint cost is $22,400.
Required:
1. Allocate the joint cost to the four grades of apples using the physical unit's method.
2. Allocate the joint cost to the four grades of apples by finding the average joint cost per pound and multiplying it by the number of pounds in the grade. Round the average cost answer to the nearest cent.
