WoolCorp buys sheep’s wool from farmers. The company began operations in January of this year, and is making decisions on produc

t offerings, pricing, and vendors. The company is also examining its method of assigning overhead to products. You’ve just been hired as a production manager at WoolCorp.Currently WoolCorp makes two products: (1) raw, clean wool to be used as stuffing or insulation and (2) wool yarn for use in the textile industry.The company would like you to evaluate its costing methods for its raw wool and wool yarn.Single Plantwide RateWoolCorp is currently using the single plantwide factory overhead rate method, which uses a predetermined overhead rate based on an estimated allocation base such as direct labor hours or machine hours. The rate is computed as follows:Single Plantwide Factory Overhead Rate= (Total Budgeted Factory Overhead) ÷ (Total Budgeted Plantwide Allocation Base)WoolCorp has been using combing machine hours as its allocation base.The company would like to consider activity-based costing. In order to understand their current system better, you evaluate WoolCorp’s current method of costing for raw wool and wool yarn. The production staff has compiled the following information for you on the production of 550 pounds of either raw wool or wool yarn:Factory Overhead Type Budgeted Factory OverheadSorting $25,600Cleaning $38,400Combing $1,200Raw Wool Wool YarnHours of combing machine use required 70 30In the following table, use combing machine hours as the allocation base for assigning overhead costs to each product. When required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.Single Plantwide Factory Overhead Rate:Raw Wool Wool YarnAllocated factory overhead cost Activity-Based CostingIn order to compare WoolCorp’s current method with activity-based costing, you interview the production staff and compile the following information, which relates to the costs for raw wool and wool yarn.Type of Cost Activity Base Total CostSorting Hours of sorting $25,600Cleaning Units of cleaning machine power $38,400Combing Hours of combing machine use $1,200Raw Wool Wool YarnHours of sorting required 800 3,200Units of cleaning machine power required 1,920 4,480Hours of combing machine use required 70 30In the following table, calculate and enter the activity rate for each of the three activities.

When required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.Raw Wool Wool YarnSorting cost $ $Cleaning cost Combing cost Total cost $ $Final QuestionAnswer the question below.After reviewing your work on the Traditional Costing and Activity-Based Costing panels, which of the two costing methods would you recommend to WoolCorp, and why?Traditional costing, because it is a tried-and-true method used for the entire life of the company.Since the methods both give the same costs for each product, there is no advantage to either method.The company should use whichever method is the cheapest to implement.Activity-based costing, because it recognizes differences in how each product uses factory overhead activities, yielding more accurate product costs.

Total cost        $17,840                $47,640

5. Recommended method of costing:

Activity-based costing, because it recognizes differences in how each product uses factory overhead activities, yielding more accurate product costs.

Explanation:

Key Decisions: product offerings, pricing, and vendors

Problem: method of assigning overhead to products

(1) raw, clean wool to be used as stuffing or insulation and

(2) wool yarn for use in the textile industry

Requirement: evaluate its costing methods for its raw wool and wool yarn.

Traditional Costing Method : Predetermined overhead rate computed as follows:

Single Plantwide Factory Overhead Rate= (Total Budgeted Factory Overhead) ÷ (Total Budgeted Plantwide Allocation Base) combing machine hours

Data for the production of 550 pounds of either raw wool or wool yarn:

Factory Overhead Type    Budgeted Factory Overhead

Sorting                                   $25,600

Cleaning                                $38,400

Total overhead                     $65,200

                                     Raw Wool   Wool Yarn

Hours of combing

machine use required        70             30

Compiled Information:

Type of Cost     Activity Base          Total Cost    Rate

Sorting               Hours of sorting      $25,600    

Cleaning            Units of cleaning

                             machine power    $38,400

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

a) safety stock = z-score x √lead time x standard deviation of demand

z-score for 99.9% = 3.29053

√lead time = √7 = 2.6458

standard deviation of demand = 3

safety stock = 3.29053 x 2.6458 x 3 = 26.12 ≈ 26 soaps

reorder point = lead time demand + safety stock = (7 x 16) + 26 = 138 soaps

EOQ = √[(2 x S x D) / H]

S = order cost = $10

D = annual demand = 16 x 365 = 5,840

H = $0.05

EOQ = √[(2 x $10 x 5,840) / $0.05] = 1,528.40 ≈ 1,528 soaps

b) total order costs per year = (5,840 / 1,528) x $10 = $38.22

total holding costs = (1,528 / 2) x $0.05 = $38.20

total annual ordering and holding costs = $76.42

maksim [4K]

Answer:

A. The amount of interest expense to record for 2018 is $320, calculated as follows: $12,000 x 8% x 4/12 = $320.

B. No amount of cash was paid for interest in 2018; i.e. = $0.00

C. Effect of each transaction on balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows:

1. Cash Revenue of $16,200

Balance Sheet - Cash and Retained Earnings are increased by $16,200.

Income Statement - Revenue is increased by $16,200.

Statement of Cash Flows: Cash inflows are increased by $16,200.  It is an operating activity (OA)

2. Bank Note Payable of $12,000 with accrued interest of $320 for 2018:

Balance Sheet - Cash and Notes Payable are increased with $12,000; Interest on Notes Payable is increased by $320 and Retained Earnings decreased by $320.

Income Statement: Net Income is decreased by $320.

Statement of Cash Flows: Cash inflows are increased by $12,000.  It is a financing activity (FA).

Explanation:

1. Cash revenue increases net income and Cash Account balance, and reflects positively on the cash flows for operating activities.

2. Notes Payable increases Cash Account balance (an asset) and Notes Payable (a liability).  It also increases the cash inflow for financing activities.

3. Accrued Interest on Notes Payable increases liability and decreases the net income, which reflects negatively on the Retained Earnings (Equity).  It does not affect the statement of cash flows as no disposal had been made yet.
