Paper For Above instruction

This paper addresses five distinct accounting exercises that encompass fundamental concepts such as overhead application, job order costing, cost behavior analysis, contribution margin analysis, and costing methods. Each exercise is designed to deepen understanding of essential accounting principles and their practical applications within manufacturing and service contexts.

Exercise 1: Overhead Application — Working Backward

Represented by Towson Manufacturing Corporation, this problem requires calculating unknown overhead figures for two divisions based on given data. Division A has actual machine hours of 22,500, an overhead application rate of $4.50, actual overhead of $110,000, and applied overhead of $86,000. Its estimated machine hours are 20,000, with an estimated overhead of $90,000. The problem asks to find the missing divisional data, including estimated machine hours for Division B, actual machine hours, overhead application rate, estimated overhead, actual overhead, applied overhead, and the over- or under-applied overhead amount each division has.

For Division B, the estimated machine hours are missing, but actual machine hours are not provided, and the application rate is $5.00 per machine hour. The estimated overhead is $90,000, and actual overhead is unknown, but it can be deduced. The applied overhead for Division B is $86,000, and the over-application is $6,500. Using the known relationships between estimated and actual data, and the application rates, calculations will reveal the missing data points and over-/under-applied overheads.

Exercise 2: Job Order Costing System

General Corporation employs a job order cost system, with initial ledger balances indicating a work-in-process (WIP) account of $35,200, finished goods of $86,900, and cost of goods sold (COGS) of $128,700. The WIP contains two jobs: Job 101 ($20,400) and Job 103 ($14,800). During May, direct materials requisitions totaled $96,500, and direct labor costs were $114,500. Subdivided costs for individual jobs include direct materials and labor, with Job 101 and Job 103 specific amounts. The company applies overhead daily at 150% of direct labor costs, based on labor summaries. Ending WIP pertains to Job 115, which was in process at month-end. The company sold multiple jobs during May, earning a profit of 20% over costs, with material and labor charges for "other" jobs at $21,000 and $17,400, respectively.

Based on this data, the exercises ask to compute:

  1. Total overhead applied during May (by multiplying direct labor costs by 150%).
  2. The ending WIP inventory cost, considering both the specific jobs and overhead allocations.
  3. The total cost of jobs completed in May, including costs of Job 101, Job 103, and other finished jobs, plus applied overhead.
  4. The COGS for the year ending May 31, considering beginning inventory, costs of sales, and ending inventory.

Exercise 3: High-Low Method

Heritage Products' quarterly shipping costs are provided: Q1 ($58,200), Q2 ($58,620), Q3 ($60,125), and Q4 ($59,400), alongside corresponding orders shipped for each quarter. The high-low method is used to analyze costs, requiring the calculation of variable cost per order, fixed shipping costs, and projecting total costs for 20X7 with an estimated activity of 570 orders.

Steps involve:

  1. Calculating the variable cost per order by examining the highest and lowest activity levels and their associated costs.
  2. Determining fixed costs by subtracting variable costs from total costs at the high activity level.
  3. Forecasting total shipping costs for 20X7 based on expected activity levels, maintaining identified cost behavior patterns.

Exercise 4: Break-even Analysis and CVP Relationships

Cedars Hospital's financial data specifies an average revenue of $180 per patient day, variable costs of $45 per patient day, and fixed annual costs totaling $4,320,000. The questions include:

  1. Calculating the number of patient days needed to break even (fixed costs divided by contribution margin per patient day).
  2. Determining the revenue necessary to achieve a target income of $540,000, considering contribution margins and fixed costs.
  3. Assessing the increase in fixed costs that can be tolerated if variable costs decrease to $36 per patient day without altering the break-even point.

Exercise 5: Direct and Absorption Costing

Details on Consumer Products' operations for 20X6 include beginning inventory (24,000 units), units manufactured (80,000), units sold (82,000), and inventory ending balance (unknown). Manufacturing costs include direct materials ($3/unit), direct labor ($5/unit), variable factory overhead ($9/unit), and fixed factory overhead ($280,000). Selling and administrative expenses are variable ($2/unit) and fixed ($136,000). The unit selling price is $26, and costs are considered stable. Tasks involve:

  1. Calculating the ending inventory units by subtracting units sold from units manufactured.
  2. Calculating the unit cost under both direct costing and absorption costing methods.
  3. Preparing an income statement using direct costing, including sales, variable costs, contribution margin, fixed costs, and net income.
  4. Preparing an income statement using absorption costing, including all manufacturing costs in inventory valuation and gross profit calculations.

This comprehensive analysis aims to develop proficiency in applying various costing, cost behavior, and financial analysis techniques, reinforcing the critical skills necessary for managerial and financial decision-making in manufacturing environments.
