Requirement 2:In Year 4, the company's variable costing net operating income was $984,400 and its absorption costing net operating income was $1,012,400.

(a) Did inventories increase or decrease during Year 4?

Your Answer:

Choice Selected

Increase  

Decrease  

Feedback: Because absorption costing net operating income was greater than variable costing net operating income in Year 4, inventories must have increased during the year.

Your response Correct response

(b)

How much fixed manufacturing overhead cost was deferred or released from inventory during Year 4? (Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

Deferred (50%) fixed manufacturing overhead cost

(b)

How much fixed manufacturing overhead cost was deferred or released from inventory during Year 4? (Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

Deferred fixed manufacturing overhead cost

Total grade: 1.0×1/2 + 0.0×1/2 = 50% + 0%Feedback:

Because inventories increased in year 4, fixed manufacturing overhead was deferred in inventories. The amount of the deferral is the difference between the two net operating incomes, or $28,000 = $1,012,400 – $984,400.

Exercise 8-2 First-Stage Allocation [LO2]SecuriCorp operates a fleet of armored cars that make scheduled pickups and deliveries in the Los Angeles area. The company is implementing an activity-based costing system that has four activity cost pools: Travel, Pickup and Delivery, Customer Service, and Other. The activity measures are miles for the Travel cost pool, number of pickups and deliveries for the Pickup and Delivery cost pool, and number of customers for the Customer Service cost pool. The Other cost pool has no activity measure because it is an organization-sustaining activity. The following costs will be assigned using the activity-based costing system:

 Driver and guard wagesVehicle operating expenseVehicle depreciationCustomer representative salaries and expensesOffice expensesAdministrative expensesTotal cost

The distribution of resource consumption across the activity cost pools is as follows:

Exercise 8-3 Compute Activity Rates [LO3]Green Thumb Gardening is a small gardening service that uses activity-based costing to estimate costs for pricing and other purposes. The proprietor of the company believes that costs are driven primarily by the size of customer lawns, the size of customer garden beds, the distance to travel to customers, and the number of customers. In addition, the costs of maintaining garden beds depends on whether the beds are low maintenance beds (mainly ordinary trees and shrubs) or high maintenance beds (mainly flowers and exotic plants). Accordingly, the company uses the five activity cost pools listed below:

1. In all cases except for direct labor in part (a), two activity measures are listed. The first is a "transaction driver" and the second is a "duration driver." Transaction drivers are simple counts of the number of times an activity occurs such as the number of times materials are moved. Duration drivers are measures of the amount of time required to perform an activity such as the time spent moving materials. In general, duration drivers are more accurate measures of the consumption of resources than transaction drivers, but they take more effort to record.

Exercise 8-11 Cost Hierarchy [LO1]CD Express, Inc., provides CD duplicating services to software companies. The customer provides a master CD from which CD Express makes copies. An order from a customer can be for a single copy or for thousands of copies. Most jobs are broken down into batches to allow smaller jobs, with higher priorities, to have access to the machines.

Required:Classify each of the activities above as either a unit-level, batch-level, product-level, customer-level, or organization-sustaining activity. An order to duplicate a particular CD is a product-level activity. Assume the order is large enough that it must be broken down into batches.

 Activity

a. Sales representatives' periodic visits to customers to keep them informed about the services provided by CD Express.

b. Ordering labels from the printer for a particular CD.

c. Setting up the CD duplicating machine to make copies from a particular master CD.

d. Loading the automatic labeling machine with labels for a particular CD.

e. Visually inspecting CDs and placing them by hand into protective plastic cases prior to shipping.

f. Preparation of the shipping documents for the order.

g. Periodic maintenance of equipment.

Preliminary analysis suggests that under activity-based costing, a total of $1,000,000 in manufacturing overhead cost would be assigned to Model X100 and a total of $600,000 would be assigned to Model X200. In addition, a total of $150,000 in nonmanufacturing overhead would be applied to Model X100 and a total of $350,000 would be applied to Model X200.

Exercise 8-15 Calculating and Interpreting Activity-Based Costing Data [LO3, LO4]Hiram's Lakeside is a popular restaurant located on Lake Washington in Seattle. The owner of the restaurant has been trying to better understand costs at the restaurant and has hired a student intern to conduct an activity-based costing study. The intern, in consultation with the owner, identified three major activities and then completed the first-stage allocations of costs to the activity cost pools. The results appear below.

Activity Cost Pool Activity MeasureServing a party of diners Number of parties servedServing a diner Number of diners servedServing drinks Number of drinks ordered

The above costs include all of the costs of the restaurant except for organization-sustaining costs such as rent, property taxes, and top-management salaries.

A group of diners who ask to sit at the same table are counted as a party. Some costs, such as the costs of cleaning linen, are the same whether one person is at a table or the table is full. Other costs, such as washing dishes, depend on the number of diners served.

Prior to the activity-based costing study, the owner knew very little about the costs of the restaurant. She knew that the total cost for the month (including organization-sustaining costs) was $240,000 and that 15,000 diners had been served. Therefore, the average cost per diner was $16.
