Calculate the direct materials used by B Company for last year.
Explanation of Solution
Direct material cost: A cost indicates the payment of cash or the obligation to pay the cash in the future period for the generation of revenue or the service performed. A direct material cost is the cost of raw materials used for producing a product. Example: The cost of plastic is the direct material for manufacturing a bottle.

- Zippy Inc. manufactures a fuel additive, Surge, which has a stable selling price of 44 per drum. The company has been producing and selling 80,000 drums per month. In connection with your examination of Zippys financial statements for the year ended September 30, management has asked you to review some computations made by Zippys cost accountant. Your working papers disclose the following about the companys operations: Standard costs per drum of product manufactured: Materials: Costs and expenses during September: Chemicals: 645,000 gallons purchased at a cost of 1,140,000; 600,000 gallons used. Empty drums: 94,000 purchased at a cost of 94,000; 80,000 drums used. Direct labor: 81,000 hours worked at a cost of 816,480. Factory overhead: 768,000. Required: Calculate the following for September, using the formulas on pages 421422 and 424 (Round unit costs to the nearest whole cent and compute the materials variances for both Surge and for the drums.): 1. Materials quantity variance. 2. Materials purchase price variance. 3. Labor efficiency variance. 4. Labor rate variance.arrow_forwardTaylor Company produces two industrial cleansers that use the same liquid chemical input: Pocolimpio and Maslimpio. Pocolimpio uses two quarts of the chemical for every unit produced, and Maslimpio uses five quarts. Currently, Taylor has 6,000 quarts of the material in inventory. All of the material is imported. For the coming year, Taylor plans to import 6,000 quarts to produce 1,000 units of Pocolimpio and 2,000 units of Maslimpio. The detail of each products unit contribution margin is as follows: Taylor Company has received word that the source of the material has been shut down by embargo. Consequently, the company will not be able to import the 6,000 quarts it planned to use in the coming years production. There is no other source of the material. Required: 1. Compute the total contribution margin that the company would earn if it could import the 6,000 quarts of the material. 2. Determine the optimal usage of the companys inventory of 6,000 quarts of the material. Compute the total contribution margin for the product mix that you recommend. 3. Assume that Pocolimpio uses three direct labor hours for every unit produced and that Maslimpio uses two hours. A total of 6,000 direct labor hours is available for the coming year. a. Formulate the linear programming problem faced by Taylor Company. To do so, you must derive mathematical expressions for the objective function and for the materials and labor constraints. b. Solve the linear programming problem using the graphical approach. c. Compute the total contribution margin produced by the optimal mix.arrow_forwardCorazon Manufacturing Company has a purchasing department staffed by five purchasing agents.

- Carsen Company produces handcrafted pottery that uses two inputs: materials and labor. During the past quarter, 24,000 units were produced, requiring 96,000 pounds of materials and 48,000 hours of labor. An engineering efficiency study commissioned by the local university revealed that Carsen can produce the same 24,000 units of output using either of the following two combinations of inputs: The cost of materials is 8 per pound; the cost of labor is 12 per hour. Required: 1. Compute the output-input ratio for each input of Combination F1. Does this represent a productivity improvement over the current use of inputs? What is the total dollar value of the improvement? Classify this as a technical or an allocative efficiency improvement. 2. Compute the output-input ratio for each input of Combination F2. Does this represent a productivity improvement over the current use of inputs? Now, compare these ratios to those of Combination F1. What has happened? 3. Compute the cost of producing 24,000 units of output using Combination F1. Compare this cost to the cost using Combination F2. Does moving from Combination F1 to Combination F2 represent a productivity improvement?

This is the information related to this years production: Â Ending inventory was 100% complete as to materials and 70% complete as to conversion, and the total materials cost is $57,540 and the total conversion cost is $36,036. Using the weighted-average method, what are the unit costs if the company transferred out 17,000 units? What is the value of the inventory transferred out and the value of the ending WIP inventory?arrow_forwardJayleen company makes two products: Carpet Kleen and Floor Deodorizer. Operating information from the previous year follows: Units produced and sold of Carpet Kleen = 5,000 Units produced and sold of Floor Deodorizer = 4,000 Machine hours used for Carpet clean = 5,000 Machine hours used for Floor Deodorizer = 1,000 Sales price per unit of carpet clean = $9 Sales price per unit of Floor Deodorizer = $15 Variable cost per unit of Carpet Clean = $7 Variable cost per unit of Floor deodorizer = $13 Fixed costs of $37,000 per year are presently allocated equally between both products. If the product mix were to changed, total fixed costs would remain the same. Assuming there is unlimed demand for both products and Jaleen has 18,500 hours available, how many units of each product should be produced and sold?arrow_forward
