Problem 1 - XYZ Company, which began operations on January 1 of the current year, produces office chairs that sells for $350 per unit. Information related to the current year's activities follows.

Number of units Produced	30,000
Number of units sold	28,000
Variable cost per unit:
Direct materials	$200
Direct Labor	60
Variable Manufacturing overhead	40
Annual Fixed costs:
Fixed Manufacturing overhead	$150,000
Fixed Selling and Administrative costs	$200,000

XYZ Company carries its finished-goods inventory at the average unit cost of production. There was no work in process at year-end.

Required: Calculate the following (Make sure you show you work)

A. Compute the company's average unit cost of production.

B. Determine the cost of the December 31 finished-goods inventory.

C. Compute the company's cost of goods sold.

D. Compute the operating income.

Problem 2 - Eastside Manufacturing produces small electric engines. Identify the following costs as direct materials (DM), direct labor (DL), manufacturing overhead (MOH), or a period cost (P). Also indicate whether the cost is variable (V) or fixed (F) with respect to behavior to the volume produced and sold of small electric engines.

	Is the cost DM, DL, MOH, or P?	Is the cost behavior V or F?
A. Property taxes paid on the factory facilities
B. Delivery costs on customer orders
C. Salary of the plant supervisor
D. Wages of the assembly-line workers
E. Engine casings put into the assembling of each small engine
F. Raw materials purchased and used in production during the period.
G. Lease payments for the president's automobile
H. Straight-line depreciation on the factory building
I. Marketing costs

Problem 3 - The Fisher Products Company uses a job costing system. The company estimated its annual manufacturing overhead to be $225,000, and the estimated number of machine hours for the year to be 25,000 hours. This company uses machine hours to apply overhead. In the first month, the following jobs were worked on:

	Job #105	Job #205	Job#305
Direct materials used	$11,000	$14,000	$12,000
Direct labor cost	$15,000	$12,000	$13,000
Machine hours	1,000 hours	1,200 hours	1,300 hours

At the end of the first month the jobs were in the following stages. Job#205 was completed and sold, Job #105 is still being worked on, and Job#305 is completed and still on hand.

Required:

a. What is the predetermined overhead rate, if the company is using machine hours as the cost driver?

b. Complete the schedule below to determine the total cost assigned to the three jobs during the month.

	Job #105	Job #205	Job#305
Direct materials used	$11,000	$14,000	$12,000
Direct labor cost	15,000	12,000	13,000

c. What is the ending work in process inventory for the first month? Please give cost of job and the job number.

d. What is the ending finished goods inventory for the first month? Please give cost of job and the job number.

e. What is the cost of goods sold for the first month? Please give cost of job and the job number.

f. If actual overhead for the month is $32,000, what is the dollar amount overhead variance(difference) ? Is the overhead over or under applied?

Problem 4 - The controller for Wolfe Machining has established the following overhead cost pools and cost drivers:

Overhead cost pools	Budgeted overhead costs	Cost driver		Pool rates
Machine setups	$ 200,000	Number of setups	2,000
Material handling	90,000	Units of raw material	60,000
Quality control inspection	50,000	Number of inspections	1,000
Other overhead costs	160,000	Machine hours	20,000
Total overhead	$ 500,000

Order no. 715 has the following production requirements:

Machine setups: 15

Units of Raw material: 10,000 units

Inspections: 2

Machine hours: 800

Assume also that direct material for order no 715 is $40,000 and direct labor is $15,000.

Required:

A. Complete the schedule above to calculate the pool rates

B. Compute the total overhead that should be assigned to order no. 715 by using activity-based costing

C. Compute the total cost assigned to the order.

D. Which of the two methods (traditional or ABC) is more accurate? Why?
