More info - Xavier blue rugs are very popular and demand is? high, but because of capacity constraints the firm will produce only 230,000 blue rugs per year. The budgeted selling price is $2,300 each. There are no rugs in beginning inventory. Target ending inventory of rugs is also zero.
Xavier makes rugs by? hand, but uses a machine to dye the wool.? Thus, overhead costs are accumulated in two cost pools-one for weaving and the other for dyeing. Weaving overhead is allocated to products based on direct manufacturing? labor-hours (DMLH). Dyeing overhead is allocated to products based on? machine-hours (MH).
Xavier manufacturing Company manufactures blue? rugs, using wool and dye as direct materials. One rug is budgeted to use 40 skeins of wool at a cost of $5 per skein and 0.7 gallons of dye at a cost of $9 per gallon. All other materials are indirect. At the beginning of the year Xavier has an inventory of 464,000 skeins of wool at a cost of $1,113,600 and 4,300 gallons of dye at a cost of $26,230.
Target ending inventory of wool and dye is zero. Xavier uses the FIFO inventory cost flow method.
