Complete question:

You have just been hired by SecuriDoor Corporation, the manufacturer of a revolutionary new garage door opening device. The president has asked that you review the company’s costing system and “do what you can to help us get better control of our manufacturing overhead costs.” You find that the company has never used a flexible budget, and you suggest that preparing such a budget would be an excellent first step in overhead planning and control.

      After much effort and analysis, you determined the following cost formulas and gathered the following actual cost data for April:

                                          Actual Cost in April

 Utilities    $16,700 plus $.14 per machine-hour      $ 21,020    

 Maintenance   $38,300 plus $1.50 per machine-hour   $ 59,100    

 Supplies      $.40 per machine-hour          $ 7,000    

 Indirect labor  $94,700 plus $1.80 per machine-hour   $ 128,000    

 Depreciation   $68,400    $ 70,100  

During March, the company worked 16,000 machine-hours and produced 10,000 units. The company had originally planned to work 18,000 machine-hours during March.

Total                                $ 287,220       $ 279,540              $ 7,680   F

2. The spending variances are computed below:

                               SecuriDoor Corporation

                              Spending Variances

                          For the Month Ended March 30

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

a. Gross Profit =$89, Ending Inventory = $640

b. Gross Profit =$83, Ending Inventory = $631

c. Gross Profit =$86, Ending Inventory = $634

Explanation:

FIFO

<u>a.Gross Profit</u>

Sales ( 1 unit × $403)                      $403

Less Cost of Sales ( 1 unit × $314) ($314)

Gross Profit                                       $89

<u>b. Ending Inventory</u>

Ending Inventory = Units Left × Earliest Price

                            = 2 units × $320

                            = $640

LIFO

<u>a.Gross Profit</u>

Sales ( 1 unit × $403)                        $403

Less Cost of Sales ( 1 unit × $320) ($320)

Gross Profit                                         $83

<u>b. Ending Inventory</u>

Ending Inventory : 1 unit × $314 =  $314

                               1 unit × $317 =  $317

                              Total              =  $631

Weighted Average Cost method

<u>a.Gross Profit</u>

Sales ( 1 unit × $403)                      $403

Less Cost of Sales ( 1 unit × $317) ($317)

Gross Profit                                       $86

<u>b. Ending Inventory</u>

Ending Inventory = Units Left × Average Price

                            = 2 units × $317

                            = $634

Cloud [144]

Answer:

$62,267.91

first we must calculate the interest rate = 10% + 6% + (10% x 6%) = 16.6%

now we can use the present value formula:

present value = future value / (1 + rate)ⁿ

present values for:

  • cash flow year 0 = $17,100
  • cash flow year 3 = $46,500/1.166³ = $29,333.06
  • cash flow year 4 = $12,300/1.166⁴ = $6,654.43
  • cash flow year 7 = $26,900/1.166⁷ = $9,180.42

total present value = $62,267.91
