PROBLEM SET B

Problem 22-1B (60 minutes)

Part 1

Average occupancy cost = $465,000 / 20,000 sq. ft. = $23.25 per sq. ft.

These costs are assigned to Style's department as follows

Department / Square Footage / Rate / Total
Style’s Dept...... / 2,000 / $23.25 / $46,500

Part 2

Market rates are used to allocate occupancy costs for the building rent. Lighting and cleaning costs are allocated to the departments on all three floors at the average rate per square foot. Costs assigned to each class are:

Occupancy Costs / Total
Costs / Value-Based
Costs / Usage-Based
Costs
Building rent...... / $400,000 / $400,000
Lighting expense...... / 25,000 / $25,000
Cleaning expense...... / 40,000 / ______ / 40,000
Totals...... / $465,000 / $400,000 / $65,000

Value-based costs are allocated in two steps

(i) Compute market value of each floor

Floor / Square Footage / Value per
Sq. Ft. / Total
First floor...... / 7,500 / $40 / $300,000
Second floor...... / 7,500 / 20 / 150,000
Basement floor...... / 5,000 / 10 / 50,000
Total market value...... / $500,000

Problem 22-1B (Continued)

(ii) Allocate the $400,000 to each floor based on its percent of market value

Floor / Market
Value / % of
Total / Allocated
Cost / Cost per
Sq. Ft.
First floor...... / $300,000 / 60% / $240,000 / $32.00
Second floor...... / 150,000 / 30 / 120,000 / 16.00
Basement floor...... / 50,000 / 10 / 40,000 / 8.00
Totals...... / $500,000 / 100% / $400,000

Usage-based costs allocation rate= $65,000 / 20,000 sq. ft.

= $3.25 per sq. ft.

Total allocation rates for the departments on all three floors are

Floor / Value / Usage / Total
First floor...... / $32 / $3.25 / $35.25
Second floor...... / 16 / 3.25 / 19.25
Basement floor...... / 8 / 3.25 / 11.25

These rates are applied to allocate occupancy costs to Style’s department

Department / Square Footage / Rate / Total
Style’s Department......
/ 2,000 / $11.25 / $22,500

Part 3

A basement manager would prefer the allocation based on market value. This is a reasonable and logical approach to allocation of occupancy costs. With a flat rate method, all square footage has equal value. This is not logical for this type of occupancy. Less cost would be allocated to the basement departments if the market value method were used.

Part 2

The refrigerator department manager did a good job of controlling costs and meeting the budget, spending $11,300 below budget. However, the dishwasher department did not do such a good job, spending $4,200 above the budgeted amount. The plant manager’s controllable costs would have been under budget by $300 if the Dishwasher department manager’s actual costs had been equal to budgeted costs.

Part 3

Delivery costs include both crating and hauling costs. The Reddings are able to identify the portion of the cost directly related to the No. 3 tomatoes, presumably because the No. 3s are going to a different destination than the No. 1 and No. 2 tomatoes. If the No. 1s and No. 2s are going to the same place, then the hauling portion of the delivery cost may truly be a joint cost, at least for the No. 1 and No. 2 tomatoes.

However, since the No. 1 and No. 2 tomatoes are different grades and are sold for different prices per pound, it seems safe to assume they are crated separately. If the cost of crating the No. 3 tomatoes can be traced as a direct cost, then it seems the crating costs for the No. 1s and No. 2s should also be identifiable as separate amounts. This means, perhaps, the crating portion of delivery costs is not a true joint cost.

Wait time...... / 21.5 hours
Manufacturing cycle time...... / 50.0 hours

Part 2

Manufacturing cycle efficiency (16.0 hours/ 50.0 hours)... / 0.32

This means that Best Ink is spending 32% of its time in value-added activities, and 68% of its time on non-value-added activities.

Part 3

To increase the manufacturing cycle efficiency to 0.80 Best Ink needs to reduce the total manufacturing cycle time to 20 hours without changing the process time (16 hours/ 0.80 = 20 hours). To do this, they must reduce the 34 hours of non-value added time (3.5 + 9.0 + 21.5) down to 4 hours or less. One way to do this might be to rearrange the manufacturing facility so that materials and work in process do not have to move as far, reducing the move time. In addition, better scheduling and planning may help Best Ink to reduce the wait time.

P

Problem 22-6B (Concluded)

Part 2

The video department has both a negative contribution to overhead and a negative departmental net income. It is not even covering its own direct costs, and is therefore not contributing anything to overhead. Before deciding whether to eliminate the video department, Sadar should consider whether any of the direct expenses can be reduced or if the revenues can be increased. Sadar should also consider whether eliminating videos would affect music sales. If expenses cannot be reduced or video sales cannot be increased, and music sales are not affected, Sadar should consider eliminating the video department.
