Horten Sporting Goods Corporation makes two types of racquets, tennis and badminton. The company uses the same facility to make

both products even though the processes are quite different. The company has recently converted its cost accounting system to activity-based costing. The following are the cost data that Jane Price, the cost accountant, prepared for the third quarter of 2018 (during which Horten made 70,000 tennis racquets and 30,000 badminton racquets).
Direct Cost Tennis Racquet (TR) Badminton Racquet (BR)
Direct materials $17.10 per unit $14.80 per unit
Direct labor 33.50 per unit 23.10 per unit

Category Estimated Cost Cost Driver Amount of Cost Driver
Unit level $736,000 Number of inspection hours TR: 15,900 hours; BR: 7,100 hours
Batch level 353,800 Number of setups TR: 83 setups; BR: 39 setups
Product level 152,500 Number of TV commercials TR: 4; BR: 1
Facility level 630,000 Number of machine hours TR: 30,600 hours; BR: 39,400 hours
Total $1,872,300

Inspectors are paid according to the number of actual hours worked, which is determined by the number of racquets inspected. Engineers who set up equipment for both products are paid monthly salaries. TV commercial fees are paid at the beginning of the quarter. Facility-level cost includes depreciation of all production equipment.

Required
a. Compute the cost per unit for each product.
b. If management wants to price badminton racquets 30 percent above cost, what price should the company set?

Faith Cassen has recently been hired as the manager of Gibraltar Coffee Shop. Gibraltar Coffee Shop is a national chain of franc
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

a.       I Disagree with Faith's method of handling this situation because she has not followed the internal control principle of safeguarding of assets. Stealing is a serious issue. An employee who can justify taking a box of tea bags can probably justify “borrowing” cash from the cash register.

b.      I Agree with Faith's method of handling this situation because Faith has followed the internal control principle of assignment of responsibility by making one employee responsible for the cash drawer and followed the internal control principle of segregation of duties (preparing the orders) from the accounting (taking orders and payments).

c.       I disagree with Faith's method of handling this situation because Faith has not followed the internal control principle of segregation of duties. It is true that faith has made one employee responsible however after cash counting another employee or Faith himself remove the cash register tape and compare the balance with cash drawer for effective internal control. Also, Faith’s standard of no mistakes may encourage the cashiers to overcharge a few customers in order to cover any possible shortages in the cash drawer.
