Final Review – Comprehensive Case Test

You are the managerial accountant for Picnic, Incorporated which sells one product, a woven picnic basket for $26 each. Following is the information you have gathered:

Standard Cost Sheet – Per Unit

Direct Material 3 yards at $2.25 per yard $ 6.75
Direct Labor .30 hours at $12 per hour $ 3.60
Variable Overhead .30 hours at $6 per hour $ 1.80
Fixed Overhead .30 hours at $10 per hour $ 3.00
     Total Cost for 1 $15.15

Sales of the product are estimated to be 100,000 units. Budgeted production is 110,000 units. Actual sales for the year are were 96,000 units. Actual units produced totaled 106,000. Actual direct labor costs for the year were $352,100, actual direct hours worked were 29,590. Actual yards of material purchased were 337,500 at a cost of $784,320. Actual material used was 325,440 yards. Actual variable overhead for the year was $173,985. Actual fixed overhead for the year was $309,875.

Total period costs: Budget Actual
Fixed Selling $200,000 $218,650
Fixed Administrative $150,000 $162,400
Variable Selling $260,000 $249,600
Actual
Beginning Raw Materials $342,000
Ending Raw Materials $369,738
Beginning Work in Process $ 12,000
Ending Work in Process $ 8,000
Beginning Finished Goods $ 50,700
Ending Finished Goods $202,200

Using the above information, do all of the following:

1. Compute total budget fixed manufacturing overhead.

2. Prepare a budget variable cost income statement in total dollars for the company (use budget and standard for all amounts).

3. Calculate the actual Cost of Goods Manufactured for the total company.

4. Calculate all product cost variances for the company. Name each variances and state favorable or unfavorable.

5. Compute the number of units that must be sold for the company to break even. (Use budgeted costs)

6. Compute the dollar sales required for the company to make a profit $250,000 (Use estimated cost)

7. If sales increase by $400,000, what percentage do you expect net income to increase? Use the operating leveraging formula.

8. Prepare a budgeted income statement using absorption cost.

9. Reconcile the difference in budgeted income for the variable cost statement and the absorption cost statement.

10. Prepare an actual income statement using absorption cost.

Answer

1. Compute total budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead.

Units budgeted to be manufactured x rate per unit = Total Manufacturing O/H $

110,000 x $3 = $330,000

or alternative calculation:

Total budgeted direct labor hours x rate per hour

110,000 units x .3 hours each = 33,000 hours x $10 per hour = $330,000

2. Prepare a budget contribution margin (variable cost) income statement in total dollars for the company (use budget and standard for all amounts).

Sales ($26 x 100,000 units sold) $2,600,000
– Variable Product Costs ($12.15 x units sold) $1,215,000
– Variable Selling $ 260,000
= Total Contribution Margin $1,125,000
– All Fixed Expenses:
Selling $ 200,000
Admin $ 150,000
Manufacturing O/H $ 330,000
= Total Operating Income $ 445,000

Fixed Manufacturing O/H: 110,000 units x $3 per unit

3. Calculate the actual Cost of Goods Manufactured for the total company.

Beginning Raw Materials Inventory 342,000
+ Purchases of Raw Materials 784,320
– Ending Raw Materials Inventory (369,738)
Materials Used in Production 756,582
Direct labor 352,100
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead 309,875
Variable Manufacturing Overhead 173,985
+ Beginning WIP 12,000
– Ending WIP (8,000)
Cost of Goods Manufactured 1,596,542

4. Calculate all product cost variances for the company. Name each variance and state favorable or unfavorable.

Material:

AQ x AP                    AQ x SP                         AQ x SP                         SQ x SP
Purch                         Purch                             Used                              Used

 

 

$784,320            337,500 x $2.25            325,440 x $2.25       106,000 x 3 x $2.25
                                = $759,375                    = $732,240                   = $715,500

Variance            $24,945 U                                             $16,740 U
                                price                                                   quantity

Labor:

AQ x AP                   AQ x SP                         SQ x SP

$352,100             29,590 x $12             106,000 x .30 x $12
                               = $355,080                    = $381,600

Variance            $2,980 F                $ 26,520 F
                               rate                     efficiency

Variable Overhead

AQ x AP                         AQ x SP                         SQ x SP

$173,985                    29,590 x $6             106,000 x .3 x $6
                                    = $177,540               = $190,800

Variance              $3,555 F                  $13,260 F
                             spending                 efficiency

Fixed Overhead:

Actual                         Budget                         Applied

$309,875                 $330,000                 106,000 x .3 x $10
                                                                         = $318,000

Variance          $20,125 F             $12,000 U
                           Budget                 Volume

5. Compute the number of units that must be sold for the company to break even. (Use budget information)

Per Unit
Sales $ 26
– Variable Costs – Material ($6.75)
– Variable Costs – Labor ($3.60)
– Variable Overhead ($1.80)
– Variable Selling ($2.60)
     Contribution Margin $11.25

Contribution Margin Ratio: .433 ($11.25 / $26)

Total Fixed Costs:

Manufacturing O/H $330,000
Selling $200,000
Administrative $150,000
    Total $680,000

Break-even = Total Fixed Costs / CM per unit

$680,000 / $11.25 = 60,445 units to break-even

6. Compute the dollar sales required for the company to make a profit of $250,000 (Use estimated costs).

Fixed Costs + Desired Profit
 Contribution Margin Ratio

$680,000 + 250,000         = $2,147,806
            0.433

7. If sales increase by $400,000, what percentage do you expect net income to increase? Use the operating leverage formula.

From problem 1, use your computed contribution margin and operating income

Contribution Margin             $1,125,000             = 2.528
Operating Income                 $   445,000

 

Sales % increase: 400,000 / 2,600,000 = 15.38%

Sales % Increase                15.38%
x operating leverage         2.528
= Income % Increase         38.88%

8. Prepare a budgeted income statement using absorption cost.

Sales (100,000 units x $26) $2,600,000
– Cost of goods sold:
      Variable Product costs ($12.15) $1,215,000
      Fixed Manufacturing O/H ($3) $ 300,000
= Gross Profit $1,085,000
– All variable period expenses $ 260,000
      All fixed period expenses $ 350,000
= Income Before Taxes $ 475,000

9. Reconcile the difference in budgeted income for the variable cost statement and the absorption cost statement.

Units Made 110,000
– Units Sold (100,000)
= Change in Inventory 10,000
x Fixed O/H per unit x $3
= Difference in the two statements $30,000
Variable cost income – problem 2. $445,000
Absorption cost income – problem 9 $475,000
Difference in Income $ 30,000

Inventory increased, absorption income is higher because the fixed overhead for these units is in inventory on the balance sheet and not in cost of goods sold.

10. Prepare an actual income statement using absorption cost.

Sales (96,000 x $26) 2,496,000
– CGS (96,000 x 15.02) 1,445,760 see below
Gross Profit 1,050,240
– All variable period expenses    249,600
– All fixed period expenses    381,050
= Income Before Taxes    419,590
Direct Material – used (see 3.) $ 756,582
Direct Labor $ 352,100
Variable Manufacturing O/H $ 173,985
Fixed Manufacturing O/H   $ 309,875
        Total product costs $1,592,542
+ Beginning Work in Process $ 12,000
– Ending Work in Process   ($ 8,000)
= Total Cost of Goods Manuf. $1,596,542
divided by units produced      106,000
 = product cost per unit       $ 15.06
x units sold        96,000
 = Cost of goods sold $1,445,760
