The cost per hour of labor is $30 for up to 100,000 hours per yearAbove that level, overtime and other additional costs will be incurred, resulting in a cost of $40 per hour for eachadditional hour. Each unit produced requires 5 pounds of materials. There is a 60% probability that the currentmaterial price per pound of $10.00 will continue for next year, although there is a 40% chance that the price willincrease by 20%. Overhead costs are estimated at $1.5 million for next year. If Higgins bases its budget on theexpected values for the risky variables, what will the budgeted amount be for cost of goods sold?

Hatch Manufacturing produces multiple machine parts. The theoretical cycle time for one of its products is 65 minutes per unit. The budgeted conversion costs for the manufacturing cell dedicated to the product are 12,960,000 per year. The total labor minutes available are 1,440,000. During the year, the cell was able to produce 0.6 units of the product per hour. Suppose also that production incentives exist to minimize unit product costs. Required: 1. Compute the theoretical conversion cost per unit. 2. Compute the applied conversion cost per minute (the amount of conversion cost actually assigned to the product). 3. Discuss how this approach to assigning conversion cost can improve delivery time performance. Explain how conversion cost acts as a performance driver for on-time deliveries.

JPM is just about to launch a new product. Production capacity means that a maximum of 120 units can be manufactured each week and manufacture must be in batches of ten. The marketing department estimates that at a price of $120 no units will be sold but, for each $3 reduction in prices, ten additional units per week will be sold. Fixed costs associated with manufacturing the product are expected to be $6,000 per week. Variable costs are expected to be $40 per unit for the first eight batches, but after that the unit variable cost of the products in the batch will be $2 more than those in the preceding batch. Which is the most profitable level of output per week?
