Question: Casey’s Kitchens’ three cost pools and overhead estimates are as follows:

Cost Pool                            Cost Driver                  Est. Overhead  

Machine Setups                     Setups                          $250000

Assembly                        Numbers of Parts                 $300000

Machine Maintenance      Machine hours                  $<u>500000</u>

                               <u>Total</u>                                             $<u>1,050,000</u>

Cost Driver            Use per Product A    Use per Product B   Total

Setups                               7000                          3000               <u>10000</u>

Numbers of Parts            25000                        35000             <u>60000</u>

Machine hours                 10000                        40000             <u>50000</u>

The Question is the Extension of previous question in the book and the only required data from the previous question for this question is Number of units produced of A and B which is 20000 units and 50000 units.

Compare the overhead allocation using:

The traditional allocation method

The activity-based costing method

(Hint: the traditional method uses machine hours as the allocation base.)

Answer:

<h2><u>TRADITIONAL ABSORPTION COSTING</u></h2><h3></h3><h2>Step 1:  Identify Absorption Basis </h2>

Here absorption basis is Machine hours.

<h2>Step 2:  Find the Overhead Absorbed by total units of Product A and B.</h2>

The formula is as under:

Overhead Absorbed=Total Overhead * Absorption Basis Share/Total Absorption Basis

For Product A:

Overhead absorbed =$1,050,000 * 10000 Machine Hrs/50000 Machine Hrs= $210,000 overhead absorbed in 20000 units of product A.

For Product B:

Overhead absorbed =$1,050,000 * 40000 Machine Hrs/50000 Machine Hrs= $840,000 overhead absorbed in 50000 units of product B.

<h2>Step 3:  Divide the Overhead Absorbed by Number of units to compute Overhead per Unit </h2>

Overhead per unit of A= Overhead absorbed by A / Total units of A

Overhead per unit of A= $210,000/ 20,000 Units= $10.5 per Unit

Overhead per unit of B= Overhead absorbed by B / Total units of B

Overhead per unit of A= $840,000/ 50,000 Units= $16.8 per Unit

<h2>Step 4: Add the per unit prime cost to Overhead cost per unit calculated in the Step 3 to calculate the total unit cost of the product. </h2>

The prime cost per unit is not given in this question but let us assume that it is $10 per unit for product A and $20 per unit for product B.

Now

For product A:

Total Unit cost of product A= Overhead cost per unit for A + Prime cost per unit for A

Total Unit cost of product A= $10.5 per unit + $10 per unit= $20.5 per unit

For product B:

Total Unit cost of product B= Overhead cost per unit for B + Prime cost per unit for B

Total Unit cost of product B= $16.8 per unit + $20 per unit= $36.8 per unit

<u></u>

<h2><u>ACTIVITY BASED COSTING</u></h2><h2>Step 1: Identify cost pools and their relevant cost drivers.</h2>

Cost Pool                            Cost Driver                  Est. Overhead  

Machine Setups                     Setups                          $250000

Assembly                        Numbers of Parts                 $300000

Machine Maintenance      Machine hours                  $500000

<h2>Step 2: Assign the cost of each activity (cost pool) on a fair basis (cost drivers) to Product A and B</h2>

Cost assigned to total products of <u>X</u> = Cost pool*(units of cost driver consumed by total # of Products A / total units of relevant cost driver consumed)

<h2><u>For Product A:</u></h2>

Machine setup cost

$250,000 * (7000 setups  for A/ 10,000 total setups)= $175,000 for 20000 units of A

Assembly Cost

$300,000 * (25,000 number of parts for A/ 60,000 total number of parts)= $125,000 for 20000 units of A

Machine Maintenance

$500,000 * (10,000 machine hrs for A/ 50,000 total machine hrs)= $100,000 for 20000 units of A

Total Overhead cost assigned to 20000 units of Product A= $175,000 + $125,000 + $100,000=$400,000

<h2><u>For Product B:</u></h2>

Machine setup cost

$250,000 * (3000 setups  for B/ 10,000 total setups)= $75,000 for 50000 units of B

Assembly Cost

$300,000 * (35,000 number of parts for B/ 60,000 total number of parts)= $175,000 for 50000 units of B

Machine Maintenance

$500,000 * (40,000 machine hrs for B/ 50,000 total machine hrs)= $400,000 for 50000 units of B

Total Overhead cost assigned to 50000 units of Product B= $75,000 + $175,000 + $400,000=$650,000

<h2>Step 3:  Divide the Answer from the step 3 by total units of product A produced to calculate unit cost</h2>

Overhead cost per unit = Total Overhead cost assigned to total units of X / Total Units of X

Overhead cost per unit For Product A= $400,000/20000 Units=$20 per unit

Overhead cost per unit For Product B= $650,000/50000 Units=$13 per unit

<h2>Step 4: Add prime cost per unit to it to calculate total unit cost of each product A and B.</h2>

The prime cost per unit is not given in this question but let us assume that it is $10 per unit for product A and $20 per unit for product B.

Now

For product A:

Total Unit cost of product A= Overhead cost per unit for A + Prime cost per unit for A

Total Unit cost of product A= $20 per unit + $10 per unit= $30 per unit

For product B:

Total Unit cost of product B= Overhead cost per unit for B + Prime cost per unit for B

Total Unit cost of product B= $13 per unit + $20 per unit= $33 per unit

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

She should report $2400.00

Explanation:

She has a contract for 64 hours and she gets $3200.00 Just by aritmethics, this is doing a division we can find that she gets $50.00 for every hour, therefore if she gives 48 hours in 2019 we multiply $50.00 for 48 hours and we get $2,400.00

Bramble Corp. has $3960000 of 9% convertible bonds outstanding. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 30 shares of $30 par value
natta225 [31]

Answer: Credit of $217480 to Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par

Explanation:

The following information is given in the question as:

Debit: Bonds payable = $1,250,000

Debit: Premium on bonds payable = $92480

Credit: Common stock = $1,125,000

Credit: Paid in capital in excess of Par = $217480

The above were calculated as:

Common stock = ($1250,000/$1,000) × 30 × 30

= $1250 × 90

= $1,125,000

% Conversion will be:

= $1,250,000 / $3960000 = 0.32

Unamortized bond premium will then be:

= 0.32 × $289,000

= $92,480

Paid in capital in excess of par will be:

= $1,250,000 + $92,480- $1,125,000

= $217,480

Therefore, the answer will be to

"Credit of $217480 to Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par"

Daniel [21]

The manager of a supermarket would like to know which of several quality problems to address a tool that would be most helpful would be a Pareto chart.

A Pareto chart is a form of a graph with both bars and a line graph, where the bars reflect individual values in descending order and the line the cumulative total. The chart is called after the Pareto principle, which takes its name from renowned Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto.

The Pareto chart's goal is to draw attention to the most significant among a group of (usually several) components. Pareto charts can be used in quality control to identify the flaws that need to be fixed first in order to see the biggest overall improvement.

It frequently reflects the most frequent causes of faults, the most prevalent kind of defect, the most common causes of customer complaints, and so forth. For each bar in the Pareto chart, Wilkinson (2006) developed a method that generates statistically based acceptability limits (akin to confidence intervals).

Considering that Holmes and Balwani are the only ones charged by the SEC and the only ones facing criminal charges, what, if any
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The investors, board of directors and employees for Theranos are not likely to have been completely free of fault in the more than a decade long fraud. The press has called the firm 'secretive' as it struggled to find any pertinent information about the it due to their closely guarded secrets. The firm operated a website that didn't have much on it and seemed to gag its directors, investors and others from talking to the press. These alone should have been a red flag to the investors and board. The PR person also refused interviews, neglected to answer questions about the owners/founders and turned down multiple overtures by the press to try and find out what was going on behind closed doors at Theranos. This encouraged the general perception that the firm was trying to control and minimise risk and possibly to retain an air of mystery. All of which was actually designed to hide the true workings of the firm, and this should have been questioned by all the people involved in the firm.

(Leuty, 2013)

The board as illustrious as theirs would have asked for supporting documentation and reviews for all the key aspects of the company and these would have needed to be audited periodically to ensure that the board can choose the best people in key roles and to enable good decision-making.

Investors also would have done a background check on all material aspects such as legal, ethical etc. before handing over large sums of money.

Employees involved in the actual fraud - falsifying results, using other tools to get the results that their tools were supposed to generate etc. were also aware of the issues with the firm likely from the very beginning.

All three groups possibly knew some or all of the aspects of the fraud and yet they did not come forward to disclose the same to the authorities or their customers as they should have. This points to a serious moral lapse amongst all three groups. They each as a group and as individuals in that group needed to take moral responsibility for the fraudulent activities being perpetrated by the couple. As the law goes, the prime players only end up being held accountable however it would have been ethically right for all parties that knew of the fraud to come forward and expose it.

Leaving aside the monetary considerations such as fleecing investors and customers alike, the products were related to the medical field, which above all others has a responsibility to maintain a higher standard of ethics. This fraud caused countless incorrect results that would have been used in medical therapies and diagnoses leading to wrong medication allocations and patient treatments. This in turn would have led to pain and anguish of the physical kind for so many patients, all of whom are the silent sufferers in this fraud.

Legally, pain and suffering cannot be quantified (just estimated) while this is the primary damage that the couple should have actually been charged with. This extremity of damage cannot be adequately presented in a court of law however and that brings us to discussing the morality of the situation. For all of the reasons stated above, the couple and everyone involved in enabling them in the fraud - the board of directors, employees and investors, should definitely be held accountable, if not in a court of law, then at least in the court of public opinion so that fraudsters like them do not get away without paying a price for their actions. All actions have consequences and their actions or lack there of should be accounted for.
