Of the unit manufacturing cost calculated in Requirement 2, 6.62 is direct materials and 7.71 is overhead. What is the prime cost per unit? Conversion cost per unit?
Box Springs, Inc., makes two sizes of box springs: twin and double. The direct material for the twin is $25 per unit and $40 s used in direct labor, while the direct material for the double is $40 per unit, and the labor cost is $50 per unit. Box Springs estimates it will make 5,000 twins and 9,000 doubles in the next year. It estimates the overhead for each cost pool and cost driver activities as follows: How much does each unit cost to manufacture?

Vollmer Manufacturing makes three components for sale to refrigeration companies. The components are processed on two machines: a shaper and a grinder. The times (in minutes) required on each machine are as follows: The shaper is available for 120 hours, and the grinder for 110 hours. No more than 200 units of component 3 can be sold, but up to 1,000 units of each of the other components can be sold. In fact, the company already has orders for 600 units of component 1 that must be satisfied. The profit contributions for components 1, 2, and 3 are 8, 6, and 9, respectively. a. Formulate and solve for the recommended production quantities. b. What are the objective coefficient ranges for the three components? Interpret these ranges for company management. c. What are the right-hand-side ranges? Interpret these ranges for company management. d. If more time could be made available on the grinder, how much would it be worth? e. If more units of component 3 can be sold by reducing the sales price by 4, should the company reduce the price?

Petrillo Company produces engine parts for large motors. The company uses a standard cost system for production costing and control. The standard cost sheet for one of its higher volume products (a valve) is as follows: During the year, Petrillo had the following activity related to valve production: a. Production of valves totaled 20,600 units. b. A total of 135,400 pounds of direct materials was purchased at 5.36 per pound. c. There were 10,000 pounds of direct materials in beginning inventory (carried at 5.40 per pound). There was no ending inventory. d.

Determine the resin materials cost per foot of finished product for each month. Round to the nearest whole cent. b. Determine the ratio of the number of resin pounds output in conduit by the number of pounds input into the process for each month. Round percentages to one decimal place. c. Interpret the resin materials cost per foot for the three months. Use the information in (a) and (b) to explain what is happening. d. Determine the conversion cost per foot of finished product for each month and interpret the result.
