The controller of the South Charleston plant of Ravinia, Inc., monitored activities associated with materials handling costs. The high and low levels of resource usage occurred in September and March for three different resources associated with materials handling. The number of moves is the driver. The total costs of the three resources and the activity output, as measured by moves for the two different levels, are presented as follows:
Resource Number of Moves Total Cost
Forklift depreciation:
Low 4,000 $3,200
High 15,000 3,200
Indirect labor:
Low 4,000 $83,200
High 15,000 147,000
Fuel and oil for forklift:
Low 4,000 $ $3,550
High 16,000 11,360
Required:
If required, round your answers to two decimal places. Enter a "0" if required.

2. Using your knowledge of cost behavior, predict the cost of each item for an activity output level of 11,000 moves.
Forklift depreciation $
Indirect labor $
Fuel and oil for forklift $

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

To calculate the variable and fixed costs, we need to use the following formulas:

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Forklift depreciation:

Low 4,000 $3,200

High 15,000 3,200

Depreciation is a fixed cost. It doesn't vary with the number of units produced.

Indirect labor:

Low 4,000 $83,200

High 15,000 147,000

Variable cost per unit= (147,000 - 83,200) / (15,000 - 4,000)

Variable cost per unit= $5.8

Fixed costs= 147,000 - (5.8*15,000)

Fixed costs= $60,000

Fixed costs= 83,200 - (5.8*4,000)

Fixed costs= $60,000

Fuel and oil for forklift:

Low 4,000 $ $3,550

High 16,000 11,360

Variable cost per unit= (11,360 - 3,550) / (16,000 - 4,000)

Variable cost per unit= $0.651

Fixed costs= 11,360 - (0.651*16,000)

Fixed costs= $944

Fixed costs= 3,550 - (0.651*4,000)

Fixed costs= $944

Now, the cost for 11,000 moves:

Depreciation= $3,200

Indirect labor= 60,000 + 5.8*11,000

Indirect labor= $123,800

Fuel and oil for forklift= 944 + 0.651*11,000

Fuel and oil for forklift= $8,105

Gibson Products produces cast bronze valves for use in offshore oil platforms. Currently, Gibson produces 1600 valves per day. The 20 workers at Gibson work from 7 a.m. until 4 p.m., with 30 minutes off for lunch and a 15-minute break during the morning work session and another at the afternoon work session. Gibson is in a competitive industry, and needs to increase productivity to stay competitive. They feel that a 20 percent increase is needed.
Gibson's management believes that the 20 percent increase will not be possible without a change in working conditions, so they change work hours. The new schedule calls on workers to work from 7:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., during which workers can take one hour off at any time of their choosing. Obviously, the number of paid hours is the same as before, but production increases, perhaps because workers are given a bit more control over their workday. After this change, valve production increased to 2000 units per day.
Calculate labor productivity for the initial situation
Calculate labor productivity for the hypothetical 25 percent increase, and its impact on output.
What is the productivity after the change in work rules?

Consider an economy with a corn producer, some consumers, and a government. In a given year, the corn producer grows 30 million bushels of corn and the market price for corn is $5 per bushel. Of the 30 million bushels produced, 20 million are sold to consumers, 5 million are stored in inventory, and 5 million are sold to the government to feed the army. The corn producer pays $60 million in wages to consumers and $20 million in taxes to the government. Consumers pay $10 million in taxes to the government, receive $10 million in interest on the government debt, and receive $5 million in Social Security payments from the government.

You have been engaged to review the financial statements of Whispering Corporation. In the course of your examination, you conclude that the bookkeeper hired during the current year is not doing a good job. You notice a number of irregularities as follows:

1. Year-end wages payable of $3,520 were not recorded because the bookkeeper thought that "they were immaterial."
2. Accrued vacation pay for the year of $34,000 was not recorded because the bookkeeper "never heard that you had to do it."
3. Insurance for a 12-month period purchased on November 1 of this year was charged to insurance expense in the amount of $2,568 because "the amount of the check is about the same every year."
4. Reported sales revenue for the year is $2,213,280. This includes all sales taxes collected for the year. The sales tax rate is 6%. Because the sales tax is forwarded to the state’s Department of Revenue, the Sales Tax Expense account is debited. The bookkeeper thought that "the sales tax is a selling expense." At the end of the current year, the balance in the Sales Tax Expense account is $108,580.
