- Balcom Dairy gathered this data about the two products that it produces: Which of the products should be processed further?arrow_forwardHales Company produces a product that requires two processes. In the first process, a subassembly is produced (subassembly A). In the second process, this subassembly and a subassembly purchased from outside the company (subassembly B) are assembled to produce the final product. For simplicity, assume that the assembly of one final unit takes the same time as the production of subassembly A. Subassembly A is placed in a container and sent to an area called the subassembly stores (SB stores) area. A production Kanban is attached to this container. A second container, also with one subassembly, is located near the assembly line (called the withdrawal store). This container has attached to it a withdrawal Kanban. Required: 1. Explain how withdrawal and production Kanban cards are used to control the work flow between the two processes. How does this approach minimize inventories? 2. Explain how vendor Kanban cards can be used to control the flow of the purchased subassembly. What implications does this have for supplier relationships? What role, if any, do continuous replenishment and EDI play in this process?arrow_forwardLarsen, Inc., produces two types of electronic parts and has provided the following data: There are four activities: machining, setting up, testing, and purchasing. Required: 1. Calculate the activity consumption ratios for each product. 2. Calculate the consumption ratios for the plantwide rate (direct labor hours). When compared with the activity ratios, what can you say about the relative accuracy of a plantwide rate? Which product is undercosted? 3. What if the machine hours were used for the plantwide rate? Would this remove the cost distortion of a plantwide rate?arrow_forward

- Where one company headquarters employee monitors the market to purchase the production ingredients strategically, how would you allocate this service to the production cost?arrow_forwardManufacturing firms must calculate their cost of goods sold based on how much they manufacture and how much it costs them to manufacture those goods. This requires manufacturing firms to prepare an additional statement before they can prepare their income statement. This additional statement is the Cost of Goods Manufactured statement. Once the cost of goods manufactured is calculated, the cost is then incorporated into the manufacturing firm’s income statement to calculate its cost of goods sold. One thing manufacturing firms must consider in their cost of goods manufactured is that, at any given time, they have products at varying levels of production: some are finished and others are still process. The cost of goods manufactured statement measures the cost of the goods actually finished during the period, whether or not they were started during that period. True / False Even though the income statements for the merchandising firm and the manufacturing firm appear very similar at…arrow_forwardDefine value chain and classification of costs for “Utility costs for the plant assembling the Latitude computer line of products.”arrow_forward
- The controller of Tri Con Global System Inc. has developed a new costing system that traces the cost of activities to products. The new system is able to measure post-manufacturing activities such as selling, promotional, and distribution activities, and allocates these activities to products in a manner that provides a more complete view of the company’s product costs. This system produces better strategic information about the relative profitability of products lines. In the course of implementing the new costing system, the controller realized that the company’s current period GAAP net income would increase significantly if the new product cost information were used for inventory valuation on the financial statements. The controller has been under intense pressure to improve the company’s net income, and this would be an easy and effective way for her to help meet the company’s short-term net income goals. As a result, she has decided to use the new costing system to…arrow_forwardConsumer Focus is a marketing research firm that organizes focus groups for consumerproduct companies. A Consumer Focus Staff member attends each session to ensure that all the logistical aspects run smoothly”In light to the above statement, classify each of the following cost items as:a. Direct or Indirect (D or I) costs with respect to each individual focus group.b. Variable or Fixed (V or F) costs with respect to how the total costs of Consumer Focus change as the number of focus groups conducted changes. (If in doubt, select on the basis of whether the total costs will change substantially if there is a large change in the number of groups conducted.)You will have two answers (D or I; V or F) for each of the following items followed by a short interpretation note. Use the sample answer table and continue from Cost Item BCost ItemA. Payment to individual in each focus group to provide comments on new products.B. Annual subscription of Consumer Focus to Consumer Reports magazine.C.…arrow_forwardSusan Mills, Company B's chief accountant, has developed an automated costing system that helps track the cost of production activities. This system is capable of accurately measuring and allocating post-manufacturing activities, such as selling, promotional, and distribution activities, in such a way that Company B gets a more detailed view of its product costs. One of the benefits of this system is that it allows Company B to determine which product lines are more profitable When Susan implemented the new costing system, she realized that the company's current period profits would increase significantly if the new product cost information was used for inventory valuation on the financial statements. Susan has been under intense pressure to improve the company's profits, and this would be a quick and effective way for her to help meet the company's short-term profit goals. As a result, Susan has decided to use the automated costing system to determine the company's profits. 1. Why…arrow_forward
