Chapter 17, Problem 1TIATC
Granite Construction Incorporated is a major construction firm whose projects include roads, highways, bridges, dams, tunnels, mass transit facilities, and airports. Suppose Granite Construction wants to bid on a project to construct a bridge in Nevada. Estimators have projected the expected direct materials costs to be $55 million and the direct labor costs (including design and construction) to be $30 million. The company uses a predetermined overhead allocation rate of 50% of direct labor costs and a markup of 20% of total costs.
Requirements
- 1. What items would most likely be included in direct materials?
- 2. Calculate the estimated direct costs, the indirect costs, and the total costs for the project.
- 3. What amount should Granite Construction bid for the project?
- 4. Why does Granite Construction include both direct and indirect costs when calculating the markup?

The Larry plant has two categories
of overhead: maintenance and
inspection. Costs expected for
these categories for the coming
year are as follows: Maintenance -
P100,000; Inspection - P150,000.
The plant currently applies
overhead using direct labor hours
and expected capacity of 50,000
direct labor hours. The following
data have been assembled for use
in developing a bid for a proposed
job: (refer to image) Total expected
machine hours for all jobs during
the year is 25,000, and the total
expected number of inspections is
1,500.Using activity-based costing
and the appropriate activity drivers,

An automobile spare part manufacturer has set up a project for developing a new machine
for one of its production lines. The engineering department has provided a project proposal
that estimates the following investment requirements:
) An initial investment of RM 300,000 to be paid for purchasing the new machine.
i) An additional cost is needed to install the machines and integrate it into the overall
production system and it is estimated to take one (1) year for completion. There are
three cost categories involved:
• Engineering labor cost, estimated to be 1200 hours at a cost of RM 100/hour.
• None-engineering labor cost, estimated to be 3000 hours at a cost of RM 50/hour.
Assorted material cost, estimated to be RM 100,000.
iv) The machine has to be overhauled every 2 year, and it costs RM 20.000 beginning
the third year of the project. They will not overhaul the machine in the last year of its
life.
v) The production will be started in the second year, and it will be up-to-speed by…

- Assume that Vickers Manufacturing estimates it will spend $1 million on overhead expenses. Vickers is a highly automated manufacturing plant; therefore, the majority of its overhead expenses relate to machinery (depreciation, repairs and maintenance, electricity used). Machine hours used would be a reasonable way to allocate overhead costs to products because use of machinery causes (or drives) overhead expenses. Vickers estimates that it will run its machines for 40,000 hours during the year. (1) Please provide the formula that would be used to calculate Vickers’ predetermined overhead rate and perform the calculation.

- Pyramid Company expects to incur $3,000,000 in manufacturing overhead costs this year. During the year, it expects to use 40,000 direct labor hours at a cost of $600,000 and 80,000 machine hours. Required: a. Prepare a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor hours, direct labor cost, and machine hours. b. Why might Pyramid Company prefer to use machine hours to allocate manufacturing overhead? c. Using each of the predetermined overhead rates calculated in part a and the data that follows for job 128, determine the cost of job 128arrow_forwardA company is analyzing a make-versus-purchase situation for a component used in several products and the engineering department has developed these data: Option A: Purchase 10,000 items per year at a fixed cost of Php 340 per item. The cost of placing the order is negligible according to the present cost accounting procedure. Option B: Manufacture 10,000 items per year, using available capacity in the factory.

- Midas Industries manufactures 20,000 components per year. The manufacturing cost of components was determined as follows: Direct materials 100,000 ,Direct labor 160,000, Variable manufacturing overhead 60,000, Fixed manufacturing overhead 80,000. An outside supplier has offered to sell the component for 17. If it purchases the component from the outside supplier, the manufacturing facilities would be unused and could be rented out for 10,000. If Midas purchases the component from the supplier instead of manufacturing it, the effect on income would be: A. 70,000 increase. B.50,000 decrease. C.10,000 decrease. D.30,000 increase.arrow_forwardThe Shepard Company is to submit a bid on the production of 10,000 ceramic salad bowls. It is estimated that the cost of materials will be $7,500 and direct labor, $ 10,100. Factory overhead is applied at $5 per direct labor hour in the Molding Department and at 120% of the direct labor cost in the finishing Department. It is estimated that 800 direct labor hours will be required in Molding and the direct labor cost in Finishing will be $ 4,300.

The first unit took 4,000 hours to complete and cost $30,000 in materials and equipment usage. The second took 3,200 hours and cost $22,500 in materials and equipment usage. Labor cost is charged at $20 per hour. The company expects “learning” to occur relative to labor and also the pricing of parts from suppliers. The prime contractor has now approached URA and asked to submit a bid for the cost of producing another 20 guidance controls. Use Exhibit 4A.5 and Exhibit 4A.6. a. What will the last unit cost to build? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.) b. What will be the average time for the 20 missile guidance controls?
