2. (a) The Scottie Sweater Company produces sweaters under the "Scottie" label. The
company busy raw wool and processes it into wool yam form which the sweaters are
woven. One spindle of wool yam is required to produce one sweater. The costs and

revenues associated with the sweaters are given below: (20)

Selling price $30.00
Cost to manufacture:
Raw materials:
Buttons, thread, lining $ 2.00
Wool yarn 16.00
Total raw materials 18.00
Direct labor 5.80
Manufacturing overhead 8.70 32.50
Manufacturing profit (loss) $ (2.50)

Originally, all of the wool yam was used to produce sweaters, but in recent years a
market has developed for the wool yam itself. The yarn is purchased by other companies
for use in production of wool blankets and other wool products. Since the development of
the market for the wool yam, a continuing dispute has existed in the Scottie Sweater
Company as to whether the yarn should be sold simply as yarn or processed into
sweaters. Current cost and revenue data on the yarn are given below:
Per Spindle
of Yarn
Selling price $20.00
Cost to manufacture:
Raw materials (raw wool) $7.00
Direct labor 3.60
Manufacturing overhead 5.40 16.00

Contd ... Q. No. 2(a)

The market for sweaters is temporarily depressed, due to unusually warm weather in the
western states where the sweaters are sold. This has made it necessary for the company to
discount the selling price of the sweaters to $30 from the normal $40 price. Since the
market for wool yam has remained strong, the dispute has again surfaced over whether
the yam should be sold outright rather than processed into sweaters. The sales manager
thinks that the production of sweaters should be discontinued; she is upset about having
to sell sweaters at a $2.50 loss when the yam could be sold for a $4.00 profit. However,
the production superintendent does not want to close down a large portion of the factory.
He argues that the company is in the sweater business, not the yarn business, and that the
company should focus on its core strength.
All of the manufacturing overhead costs are fixed and would not be affected even if
sweaters were discontinued. Manufacturing overhead is assigned to products on the basis
of 150% of direct labor cost. Materials and direct labor costs are available.
Required:
(i) Would you recommend that the wool yarn be sold outright or processed into sweaters?
What is the lowest price that the company should accept for a sweater? Support your
answer with appropriate computations and explain your reasoning.
(b) Xavier Company produces a single product. Variable manufacturing overhead IS

applied to products on the basis of direct labor-hours. The standard costs for one unit of

product are as follows: (15)

Direct material: 6 ounces at $0.50 per ounce $ 3.00
Direct labor: 0.6 hours at $30.00 per hour 18.00
Variable manufacturing overhead: 0.6 hours at $10.0 per hour 6.00
Total standard variable cost per unit $ 27.00

During June, 2,000 units were produced. The costs associated with June's operations were
as follows:
Material purchased: 18,000 ounces at $0.60 per ounce $10,800
Material used in production: 14,000 ounces ---
Direct labor: I, I 00 hours at $30.50 per hour $33,550
Variable manufacturing overhead costs incurred $12,980

Required:
Compute the direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead
variances.

SECTION-B
There are FOUR questions in this section. Answer any THREE.

5. (a) What is meant by an "Activity base" when dealing with variable costs? Give several
examples of activity bases. (7)
(b) Bargain Rental Car offers rental cars in an off-airport location near a major tourist
destination in California. Management would like to better understand the behavior of the
company's costs. One of those costs is the cost of washing cars. The company operates it
own car wash facility in which each rental car that is returned is thoroughly cleaned
before being released for rental to another customer. Management believes that the costs
of operating the car wash should be related to the number of rental returns. Accordingly,
the following data have been compiled: (20)
Month Rental Returns Car Wash Costs
January 2,380 $10,825
February.................. 2,421 $11,865
March...................... 2,586 $11,332
April....................... 2,725 $12,422
May........................ 2,968 $13,850
June 3,281 $14,419
July......................... 3,353 $14,935
August 3,489. $15,738
September 3,057 $13,563
October 2,876 $11,889
November 2,735 $12,683
December 2,983 $13,796

Using least-squares regression, estimate the fixed cost and variable cost elements of
monthly car wash costs. The fixed cost element should be estimated to the nearest dollar
and the variable cost element to the nearest cent.
(c) Why do companies use predetermined overhead rates rather than actual
manufacturing overhead costs to apply overhead to jobs? (8)

6. (a) White Company has two departments, Cutting and Finishing. The company uses a
job-order costing system and computes a predetermined overhead rate in each
department. The Cutting Department bases its rate on machine-hours, and the Finishing
Department bases its rate on direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, the
company made the following estimates: (20)
Department
Cutting Finishing
Direct labor-hours 6,000 30,000
Machine-hours 48,000 5,000
Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $264,000 $366,000
Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $2.00
Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour $4.00

(i) Compute the predetermined overhead rate to be used in each department.

(ii) Assume that the overhead rates computed in (i) above are in effect, the job cost sheet
for Job 203, which was started and completed during the year, showed the following:
Department
Cutting Finishing
Direct" labor-hours 6 20
Machine-hours 80 4
Materials requisitioned $500 $310
Direct labor-cost $70 $150

Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job 203.

(iii) Would you expect substantially different amounts of overhead cost to be assigned
to some jobs if the company used a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor-
hours, rather than using departmental rates? Explain (No computations are necessary).
(b) Selzik Company makes super-premium cake mixes that .go through two processing
departments, Blending and Packaging. The following activity was recorded in the

(i) Compute the company's CM ratio and its break-even point in both unit sales and
dollar sales.
(ii) The president believes that a $16,000 increase in the monthly advertising budget,
combined with an intensified effort by the sales staff, will result in an $80,000
increase in monthly sales. If the president is right, what will be the effect on the
company's monthly net operating income or loss?
(iii) Refer to the original data, the sales manager is convinced that a 10% reduction in
the selling price, combined with an increase of $60,000 in the monthly advertising
budget, will double unit sales. What will the new contribution format income
statement look like if these changes are adopted? .
(iv) Refer to the original data, the Marketing Department thinks that a fancy new
package for the laptop computer battery would help sales. The new package would
increase packaging costs by 75 cents per unit. Assuming no other changes, how many
units would have to be sold each month to earn a profit of$9,750?
(v) Refer to the original data, by automating, the company could reduce variable
expenses by $3 per unit. However, fixed expenses would increase by $72,000 each
month.
