Smart Stream Inc. uses the total cost method of applying the cost-plus approach to product pricing. The costs of producing and s

gogolik [260]

Answer:

Smart Stream Inc.

a) Total costs:

Variable costs:

Direct materials = $1,500,000 ($150 x 10,000)

Direct labor = $250,000 ($25 x 10,000)

Factory overhead = $400,000 ($40 x 10,000)

Selling and Administrative = $250,000( $25 x 10,000)

Total variable costs = $2,400,000 ($240 x 10,000)

Fixed Costs:

Factory overhead = $350,000

Selling and admin = $140,000

Total fixed costs = $490,000

I) Total costs = variable plus fixed costs = $2,890,000 ($2,400,000 + 490,000)

II) Total cost per unit = $289 ($2,890,000/10,000)

Explanation:

The total cost method includes all the costs in arriving at the unit cost before adding the desired profit to arrive at the selling price of a product.

Total costs include the cost of goods sold and the expenses incurred in running the business for the period.

It is unlike the product cost-plus and variable cost-plus approaches to product pricing. For the product cost-plus approach, only the costs of production is taken into consideration for arriving at the selling price. In that case, the costs of direct materials and labor, and factory overheads would be considered, while variable and fixed selling and administrative costs are excluded. The unit cost would have been $250.

The variable cost-plus approach considers only the variable elements of costs to arrive at the selling price. These include the direct materials and labor costs, and variable element of the factory overhead and selling and administrative expenses. The unit cost would have been $240 as stated in the question.

These different cost-plus pricing approaches are more suitable for some industries than others. No matter the choice made, it must be noted that they result in different selling prices and can affect the competitiveness of a company.

Opunui Corporation has two manufacturing departments--Molding and Finishing. The company used the following data at the beginnin

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The selling price for Job A is $75,978.00

Explanation:

Molding Finishing Totals

Machine hours 4000 1000 5000

Fixed mnf. overheads 19600 2400 22000

Variable manufacturing

Overheads per machine hours 1.1 2.1

JOB A JOB B

Direct materials 13,600 7500

Direct labour costs 20,700 7400

Molding machines 2700*1.1= 2,970

Finishing 400*2.1= 840

Fixed mnf: molding 19600*4000/5000= 15,680

Fixed mnf: finishing 2400*1000/5000= 480

Total cost (sum of all the above) $54,270

Mark up = 40%

Mark up=gross profit (GP)*100/cost

40%= GP*100/54270

40*54270/100= GP

GP= 21,708

Sales= cost + GP

Sales= 21,708+54,270

Sales= $75,978.00

Part 1 b

Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Sales

Sales = ( 80 x $8.00 + 120 x $8.75 + 100 x $9.00) = $2,590

Cost of Sales = (100 x $5 + 150 x $6 + 160 x $7) = $2,520

Therefore,

Gross Profit = $2,590 - $2,520

= $70

Part 2 b

Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Sales

Sales = ( 80 x $8.00 + 120 x $8.75 + 100 x $9.00) = $2,590

Cost of Sales = ($400 + $700 + $650) = $1,750

Therefore,

Gross Profit = $2,590 - $1,750

= $840

Explanation:

Hie, see the attached the full question as images below

Part 1

Note that the question in this part requires us to use the Periodic Inventory System. In Periodic Inventory system, Inventory Valuation and calculation of Cost of Goods Sold is done at the end of the Period, in this case at the end of the month of January.

Part 2

Again it is important to note that the question in this part requires us to use the Perpetual Inventory System. In Perpetual Inventory system, Inventory Valuation and calculation of Cost of Goods Sold is done at the after each and every transaction made.

Overall Comment

The Company use of FIFO should be considered in both the Periodic Inventory System in Part 1 and Perpetual Inventory System in Part 2. FIFO method assumes that the first goods received by the business will be the first ones to be delivered to the final customer.

That said, Cost of Sales for Part 1 are determined and recognized at the end of the period and Cost of Sales for Part 2 are determined and recognized after every sale transaction made
