Question Completion:

A manufactured product has the following information for June.

                                 Standard                        Actual

Direct materials     6 lbs. at $8 per lb.       48,500 lbs. at $8.10 per lb.

Direct labor            2 hrs. at $16 per hr.     15,700 hrs. at $16.50 per hr.

Overhead               2 hrs. at $12 per hr.     $198,000

Units manufactured                                    8,000

Answer:

Direct materials price variance = $4,850 U

Direct materials quantity variance = $4,000 U

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                 Actual            Standard

Direct materials price per lbs  $8.10                 $8.00

Direct labor rate per hour      $16.50              $16.00

Quantity:

Direct materials                      48,500         48,000 (6 * 8,000)

Direct labor hours                   15,700         16,000 (2 * 8,000)

Direct materials price variance = SP - AP * AQ

= $8 - $8.10 * 48,500

= $0.10 * 48,500

= $4,850 U

Direct materials quantity variance = SQ - AQ * SP

= 48,000 - 48,500 * $8

= $4,000 U

1. Consider the purchase of a can of soda at a convenience store. Describe the various stages in the supply chain and the differ
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Purchase of a Can of Soda in a convenience store would have gone through the following flow in its supply chain:

First the Supply chain describes the chain of activities right from the first gathering of information about the product to its eventual delivery to the Consumer. The flow could be a lengthy one, but it helps to know all thats involved in landing a product to the consumers

A. The conceptualization stage

This is the point where a group of people (idealization or innovation team of a business) gather to develop a product that is believed can meet a certain group of consumers needs (in this case refreshment and Thirst Quenching)

B. The Information stage

This is where detailed brainstorming is carried out on the consumers of this proposed product (the demographics, economic disposition etc) and study of current alternatives (if any), the ingredients that will deliver the specific zing we expect in the product and getting regulatory approvals to Launch the product. Research is conducted to identify how the required ingredients would react in a human body and other concerns are dealt with at this stage.

C. Material Sourcing

This is the point where the required ingredients considered during the information stage are sourced across the world and brought into one or more production process from our Suppliers. Ingredients are moved in by Ship, train, trucks etc

D. Production stage

This is where the ingredients and other Materials are converted into the product that was once a thought in the minds of a few people. This is done in the factory, with People and Machine working together to come out with a preplanned output

E. Logistics/Delivery stage

The Finished Products are shipped across the nation to Customers who have put in orders for the same. Shipment could be by all means of transportation. They are loaded into the Customers Warehouse for onward delivery to the Customers own customers.

F. The Customers having ordered in Bulk now sell in lower quantity (called Bulk breaking) to the Wholesalers and retailers (Convenience store is a retailer)

G. And the Consumer is able to pick it off the shelf or fridge for immediate enjoyment.

2.

A.If the idealization or innovations team considers only it's profit without checking what is in it for the rest of the Business, it could either run the business to a loss or abnormal profit situation which isn't a good place to be

B. If production considers itself alone it may choose to hire high priced workers or otherwise or invest in very expensive machines or complex to maintain machines or faulty ones. The implication of these is the project could run aground when such decisions are made without thinking through the entire chain, as the business will find it impossible to land the product at the right price or will consistently be unable to cover its costs

C. Distributor, Wholesaler and Retailer. If either of this fail to reason with the approved price list but considering self interest alone it will distort the Business objectives and cause a break in the growth agenda of the Product line. it may delay subsequent offerings, cause some consumers to go look for alternatives because of consistent stock out, it may lead to the product being expensive in one part and cheaper in another, it may result in strained business relationships between the organisation and its customers.

3 Some actions that can help Retailers and Manufacturers attain strategic fit

a. Regular stock availability. Retailers may have invested in opening new stores and warehouses because of the success outlook of the new Launch. Having a stock out intermittently from the Manufacturers plant defeats that investment

b. Right Pricing. In considering what the recommended Price is to be to the consumers the Manufacturer needs to consider as well the Margin Per unit to be made by the Retailer, and see if it makes sense for the size of Business they wish to develop

c. Flow of information. The Business must have a direct line of communication with its Retailers to avoid the wrong message being acted upon in error.

d. Standard Operating procedures in handling agitations from the Retailers/Consumers: There has to be an agreed approach in attending to the concerns of the Retailers and also dealing with damaged goods/ bad stock and product recalls

e. Credit advancement discussion needs to have been settled beforehand to help the Businesses in the course of engagement to have a clear understanding how they deal with one another. Cash or Credit.

f. regular feedback collections from retailers will serve as a boost in product innovation and brand communications.

The following data pertains to activity and maintenance costs for two recent years:
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Y= 6000 + 0.75X

Explanation:

High and low cost technique

Using the a high and low technique, total cost can be analysed and separated into fixed and variable portion. This analysis helps in the forecast of cost and therefore important for the preparation of budget.

<em>Variable cost of maintenance</em>

= (Cost at high activity - Cost at low activity)/ (high activity - low activity)

VC per act. = ( $15000 - $12000)/(12,000-8000)

                   = $0.75 per activity

<em>Fixed cost of maintenance</em>

= Total cost at high activity - (VC per act × high activity)

=  $15,000 - ( $0.75 ×  12,000)

=   $6,000

The cost formula will be:

Y= 6000 + 0.75X

Where Y = maintenance cost, X= level of activity

Assume company can produce any amount above 3.4 units. Naploc purchased the equipment for $12,000 and did not start production y
svetlana [45]

Answer: $12,000

Explanation:

As no production has been started yet, no other costs have been incurred by Naples for the equipment other than the $12,000.

The lowest price that Tebit should offer therefore should be the price that the equipment was purchased for as the equipment has not not been used to produce anything and so has not incurred any variable costs or donated any incremental value that would decrease or increase its value.

Yellow​ Press, Inc., buys paper in​ 1,500-pound rolls for printing. Annual demand is 3 comma 000 3,000 rolls. The cost per roll
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

59 orders

Explanation:

For computing the how many rolls should order at a time, first we have to determine the economic order quantity which is shown below:

The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}

where,

Carrying cost = $875 × 20% = $175

And, other items values would remain the same

ow put these values to the above formula

So, the value would be equal to

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{3,000}\times \text{\$75}}{\text{\$175}}}

= 50.71 units

Now The number of orders would be equal to

= Annual demand ÷ economic order quantity

= $3,000 ÷ 50.71 units

= 59 orders
