Answer:

Annual demand (U) = 90.000 bags

Cost of each bag = $1.50

Inventory carrying cost per unit(C) = $1.50 × 20% = 0 30

Ordering cost per unit (O) = $15

Part A)

EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2UO}{C}}

EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2 * 90000 * 15}{0.30}}

EOQ = \sqrt{9000000}

EOQ = 3,000

Part B)

Maximum inventory = EOQ + Safety inventory on hand  

Maximum inventory = 3000 + 1000

Maximum inventory = 4.000

Part C)

Average inventory = Maximum inventory + Minimum or Safety /2

Average inventory = 4,000 + 1,000 / 2

Average inventory =2,500

Part D)

How often company order = Annual demand / EOQ

How often company order = 90,000 / 3.000

How often company order = 30

Becton Labs, Inc., produces various chemical compounds for industrial use. One compound, called Fludex, is prepared using an ela
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Becton Labs, Inc.

1. Direct materials:

a. Price variance

= $20,600 Favorable

Quantity variance

= $1,890 Unfavorable

b. The company can sign the contract provided it is made clear to the new supplier that price variations would not be welcome shortly after signing the contract, but will depend on the market realities.

2. Direct labor:

a. Direct labor rate and efficiency variances:

Direct labor rate variance

= $3,200 Favorable

Efficiency variance

= $8,160 Unfavorable

b. I would not recommend that the new labor mix be continued.  The old mix may be working better because the labor efficiency cost increased with the new mix labor mix.

3. The variable overhead rate and efficiency variances:

Variable overhead rate variance

= $5,200 Favorable

Variable overhead efficiency variance

= $2,380 Unfavorable

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Standard  Costs for 1 Unit of Fludex:

                                              Standard              Standard      Standard Cost

                                        Quantity or Hours   Price or Rate  

Direct materials                     2.40 ounces    $27.00 per ounce   $64.80

Direct labor                           0.60 hours        $12.00 per hour          7.20

Variable manufacturing

overhead                             0.60 hours          $3.50 per hour          2.10

Total standard cost per unit                                                           $74.10

Activities recorded during November:

a. Materials purchased = 13,000 ounces at $330,300

Each ounce = $25.41 (330,300/13,000)

b. Materials used for production = 10,150 ounces (13,000 - 2,850)

Standard materials = 4,200 * 2.40 = 10,080 ounces

c. Direct labor hours = 20 * 160 = 3,200 hours

Standard labor hours = 0.60 * 4,200 = 2,520

Average labor rate = $11.00 per hour

Direct labor costs = $35,200 ($11.00 * 3,200)

d. Standard variable overhead = $11,200 (3,200 *$3.50)

Actual overhead incurred = $6,000

Actual overhead rate = $1.43 ($6,000/4,200)

e. Units produced = 4,200

1. Direct materials:

a. Price variance = (Actual price - standard price)* Actual units

= ($25.41 - $27.00)13,000 = $20,600 F

Quantity variance = (Actual quantity - Standard quantity) Standard Cost

= (10,150 - 10,080) * $27.00

= $1,890 U

b. The company can sign the contract provided it is made clear to the new supplier that price variations would not be welcome shortly after signing the contract, but will depend on the market realities.

2. Direct labor:

a. Direct labor rate and efficiency variances:

Direct labor rate variance = (Actual rate - Standard rate) * Actual hours

= ($11 - $12) * 3,200 = $3,200 Favorable

Efficiency variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) * Standard rate

= (3,200 - 2,520) * $12

= $8,160 Unfavorable

b. I would not recommend that the new labor mix be continued.  The old may be working better because the labor efficiency cost increased.

3. The variable overhead rate and efficiency variances:

Variable overhead rate variance = Actual costs − (AH × SR)

= $6,000 - (3,200 * $3.50)

= $6,000 - $11,200

= $5,200 Favorable

Variable overhead efficiency variance =  (AH − SH) × SR

= (3,200 - 2,520) * $3.50

= $2,380 Unfavorable
