P ROJECT: WRITING A S OCIAL RESEARC H REP OR T

Project Introduction:

This project will require you to complete a research report in two parts. In the first part, you will prepare a

rough draft of your research report, which will include your research question, methodology, and literature

review.

In the second part, you will incorporate your instructor’s feedback and create a report with more details on

your research design and information about your data collection methods. You will provide the APA citation

Requirements:

Lu Technology, Co., manufactures CDs and DVDs for computer software and entertainment companies. Lu uses job order costing and has a perpetual inventory system. On April 2, Lu began production of 5,900 DVDs, Job 423, for Stick People Pictures for $1.30 sales price per DVD. Lu promised to deliver the DVDs to Stick People by April 5. Lu incurred the following costs:
Labor Time Record No.		Description		Amount
		4/2	655	10 hours @ $14	$140
	4/3	656	20 hours @ $13	260
Material Requisition No.
63	31 lbs. polycarbonate plastic @ $11	$341
64	25 lbs. acrylic plastic @ $27	675
74	3 lbs. refined aluminum @ $42	126
Stick People provides the movie file for Lu burn onto the DVDs at a cost of $0.50 per DVD. Lu Technology allocated manufacturing overhead to jobs based on the relation between estimated overhead of $540,000 and estimated direct labor costs of $432,000. Job 423 was completed and shipped on April 3.
1. Prepare a job cost record for Job 423. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate; then allocate manufacturing overhead to the job.
2. Journalize in summary form the requisition of direct materials (including the movie files) and the assignment of direct labor and manufacturing overhead to Job 423.
3. Journalize completion of the job and the sale of the 5,900 DVDs.

Prescott, Inc., manufactures bookcases and uses an activity-based costing system. Prescott’s activity areas and related data follows:
	Activity	Budgeted Cost of Activity		Allocation Base	Cost Allocation Rate
	Materials handling	$230,000	Number of parts	$0.50
Assembly	3,200,000	Direct labor hours	16.00
Finishing	180,000	Number of finished units	4.50
Prescott produced two styles of bookcases in October: the standard bookcase and an unfinished bookcase, which has fewer parts and requires no finishing. The totals for quantities, direct materials costs, and other data follow:
Product	Total Units Produced	Total Direct Materials Costs	Total Direct Labor Costs	Total Number of Parts	Total Assembling Direct Labor Hours
Standard bookcase	3,000	$36,000	$45,000	9,000	4,500
Unfinished bookcase		3,500		35,000	7,000
	Requirements:
1. Compute the manufacturing product cost per unit of each type of bookcase.
2. Suppose that pre-manufacturing activities, such as product design, were assigned to the standard bookcases at $7 each, and to the unfinished bookcases at $2 each. Similar analyses were conducted of post-manufacturing activities such as distribution, marketing, and customer service. The post-manufacturing costs were $22 per standard bookcase and $14 per unfinished bookcase. Compute the full product costs per unit.
3. Which product costs are reported in the external financial statements? Which costs are used for management decision making? Explain the difference.
4. What price should Prescott’s managers set for unfinished bookcases to earn $15 per bookcase?

Requirements:

Corbertt Pharmaceuticals manufactures an over-the-counter allergy medication. The company sells both large commercial containers of 1,000 capsules to health-care facilities and travel packs of 20 capsules to shops in airports, train stations, and hotels. The following information has been developed to determine if an activity-based costing system would be beneficial:
Estimated Indirect Activity Costs	Estimated Quantity of Allocation Base
$95,000	Kilos	19,000 kilos
Packaging	219,000		Machine hours	5,475 hours
Quality assurance	124,500	Samples	2,075 samples
Total indirect costs	$438,500
Other production information includes the following:
Commercial Containers	Travel Packs
Units produced	3,500 containers	57,000 packs
Weight in kilos	14,000	5,	700
2,625	570
Number of samples	855
1. Compute the cost allocation rate for each activity.
2. Use the activity-based cost allocation rates to compute the activity costs per unit of the commercial containers and the travel packs. (Hint: First compute the total activity cost allocated to each product line, and then compute the cost per unit.)
3. Corbertt’s original single-allocation-base costing system allocated indirect costs to produce at $157 per machine hour. Compute the total indirect costs allocated to the commercial containers and to the travel packs under the original system. Then compute the indirect cost per unit for each product.
4. Compare the indirect activity-based costs per unit to the indirect costs per unit from the single-allocation-base system. How have the unit costs changed? Explain why the costs changed.
