ACC 206 Week 4 Exercise/Assignment: Chapter Six and Seven Problems

Chapter 6 and 7 Problems

 Chapter 6 Exercise 2

2. Schedule of cash collections Sugarland Company sells a single product and anticipates opening a new facility in Charlotte on May 1 of the current year. Expected sales during the first three months of activity are: May,

$60,000

; June, $80,000; and July, $85,000. Thirty percent of all sales are for cash; the remaining 70% are on account. Credit sales have the following collection pattern: Collected in the month of sale                                       60%

Collected in the month following sale                           35

Uncollectible                                                                5

 

1. Prepare a schedule of cash collections for May through July.
2. Compute the expected balance in Accounts Receivable as of July

   31.

Chapter 6 Exercise 4 4. Production and cash-outlay computations RPR, Inc., anticipates that 120,000 units of product K will be sold during May. Each unit of product K requires four units of raw material A. Actual inventories as of May 1 and budgeted inventories as of May 31 follow.

 

 

1-May	31-May
Product K (Units)	55,000	60,000
Rate Materials A (Units)		40,000	37,000

 

Each unit of raw material A costs $8; RPR pays for all purchases in the month of acquisition. Invoices that account for 80% of the cost of materials acquired will be paid within 10 days of receipt, entitling the company to a 2% cash discount.

 

1. Determine the number of units of product K to be manufactured in May.
2. Compute the May cash outlay for purchases of raw material A.

Chapter 6 Exercise 5 5. Abbreviated cash budget; financing emphasis An abbreviated cash budget for Big Chuck Enterprises follows.

         

Big Chuck wishes to maintain a

$10,000

minimum cash balance at all times. Additional financing is available (and retired) in $1,000 multiples at a 12% interest rate. Assume that borrowings take place at the beginning of the month; retirements, in contrast, occur at the end of the month. Interest is paid at the time of repaying principal and computed on the portion of principal repaid.

 

1. Find the unknowns in Big Chuck’s abbreviated cash budget.
2. Determine the outstanding loan balance as of September 30, after any repayments have been made.

3. Variances for direct materials and direct labor

Banner Company manufactures flags of various countries. Each flag has a standard of eight square feet of fabric and three hours of direct labor time. Information about recent production activity follows.

Actual cost of fabric:                                         $4.50 per square foot

Fabric consumed:                                              32,080 square feet

Standard price per square foot of fabric:                         $4.25

Standard direct labor rate:                                 $10.00 per hour

Actual direct labor rate:                                                 $10.20 per hour

Actual labor hours worked:                               11,940

Actual production completed:                           4,000 flags

 

1. Compute the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance.
2. Compute the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance.

Chapter 7 Exercise 5

5. Overhead variances

Nova Manufacturing applies factory overhead to products on the basis of direct labor hours. At the beginning of the current year, the company’s accountant made the following estimates for the forthcoming period:

• Estimated variable overhead: $500,000
• Estimated fixed overhead: $400,000
• Estimated direct labor hours: 40,000

It is now 12 months later. Actual total overhead incurred in the manufacture of 7,900 units amounted to $895,100. Actual labor hours totaled 39,800. Assuming a direct labor standard of five hours per finished unit, calculate the following:

1. Variable overhead efficiency variance
2. Fixed overhead volume variance
3. Overhead spending variance

Chapter 7 Problem 1

1. P26-A1 Basic flexible budgeting (L.O. 2) Centron, Inc., has the following budgeted production costs:

Direct materials

 

$0.40 per unit
Direct labor	1.80 per unit
	Variable factory overhead	2.20 per unit
	Fixed factory overhead
Supervision	$24,000
Maintenance	18,000
Other	12,000

The company normally manufactures between 20,000 and 25,000 units each quarter. Should output exceed 25,000 units, maintenance and other fixed costs are expected to increase by $6,000 and $4,500, respectively.

During the recent quarter ended March 31, Centron produced 25,500 units and incurred the following costs:

 

 

 

 

 

Variable factory overhead

  

Fixed factory overhead   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Direct Materials	$10,710
Direct Labor	47,175
51,940
Supervision	24,500
Maintenance	23,700
Other	16,800
Total production costs	$174,825

     

Instructions:

1. Prepare a flexible budget for 20,000, 22,500, and 25,000 units of activity.
2. Was Centron’s experience in the quarter cited better or worse than anticipated? Prepare an appropriate performance report and explain your answer.
3. Explain the benefit of using flexible budgets (as opposed to static budgets) in the measurement of performance.

5. P26-B3 Straightforward variance analysis (L.O. 5)

Arrow Enterprises uses a standard costing system. The standard cost sheet for product no. 549 follows.

Direct materials: 4 units @ $6.50	$26.00
Direct labor: 8 hours @ $8.50
Variable factory overhead: 8 hours	@ $7.00
Fixed factory overhead: 8 hours	@ 2.5
Total standard cost per unit	$170.00

The following information pertains to activity for December:

1. Direct materials acquired during the month amounted to 26,350 units at $6.40 per unit. All materials were consumed in operations.
2. Arrow incurred an average wage rate of $8.75 for 51,400 hours of activity.
3. Total overhead incurred amounted to $508,400. Budgeted fixed overhead totals $1.8 million and is spread evenly throughout the year.
4. Actual production amounted to 6,500 completed units.
