They can begin by implementing an enterprise resource planning system. They may also focus on corporate social responsibility. Implementing a balanced scorecard approach and using activity based costing are also methods that this company can use to bring down their costs.

KiRa [710]

Answer:

<u>For Case 1:</u>

Manufacturing overhead applied = 27,000

Total current manufacturing costs = 60,000

Cost of goods manufactured = 64,000

Cost of goods sold = 61,100

<u>For Case 2:</u>

Direct labor = 7,667

Direct material used = 8,333

Beginning work in process inventory = 26,400

Ending finished goods inventory = 15,000

<u>For Case 3:</u>

Direct labor = 5,760

Manufacturing overhead applied = 8,640

Ending work in process inventory = 10,499

Beginning finished goods inventory = 16,199

Explanation:

Note: The data in the question are merged together. The data are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.

Also note: See the attached excel file for the table with the computed figure in bold red color.

In the attached excel file, the following calculations are employed:

<u>For Case 1:</u>

Since overhead applied to products at a rate of 150 percent of direct labor cost, we have:

Manufacturing overhead applied = Direct labor * 150% = 18,000 * 150% = 27,000

Total current manufacturing costs = Direct material used + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead applied = 15,000 + 18,000 + 27,000 = 60,000

Cost of goods manufactured = Total current manufacturing costs + Beginning work in process inventory - Ending work in process inventory = 60,000 + 9,900 - 5,900 = 64,000

Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods manufactured + Beginning finished goods inventory - Ending finished goods inventory = 64,000 + 4,700 - 7,600 = 61,100

<u>For Case 2:</u>

Since overhead applied to products at a rate of 150 percent of direct labor cost, we have:

Direct labor = (Manufacturing overhead applied / 150%) * 100% = (11,500 / 150%) * 100% = 7,667

Direct material used = Total current manufacturing costs - Manufacturing overhead applied - Direct labor =   27,500 - 11,500 - 7,667 = 8,333

Beginning work in process inventory = Cost of goods manufactured + Ending work in process inventory -   Total current manufacturing costs = 44,000 + 9,900 - 27,500 = 26,400

Ending finished goods inventory = Cost of goods manufactured + Beginning finished goods inventory - Cost of goods sold = 44,000 + 12,000 – 41,000 = 15,000

<u>For Case 3:</u>

Since overhead applied to products at a rate of 150 percent of direct labor cost, we can let:

Direct labor = x

Therefore, we have:

Manufacturing overhead applied = x * 150%

Since,

Total current manufacturing costs = Direct material used + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead applied ……………………….. (1)

Where;

Total current manufacturing costs = 28,500

Direct material used = 14,100

We can therefore substitute the relevant values into equation (1) and solve for x as follows:

28,500 = 14,100 + x + 1.5x

28,500 - 14,100 = 2.5x

14,400 = 2.5x

x = 14,400 / 2.5

x = 5,760

Therefore;

Direct labor = x = 5,760

and

Manufacturing overhead applied = x * 150% = 5,760 * 150% = 8,640

Ending work in process inventory = Total current manufacturing costs + Beginning work in process inventory - Cost of goods manufactured = 28,500 + 8,000 - 26,001 = 10,499

Beginning finished goods inventory = Cost of goods sold + Ending finished goods inventory - Cost of goods manufactured = 36,000 + 6,200 - 26,001 = 16,199
