Greenwood Company manufactures two products—14,000 units of Product Y and 6,000 units of Product Z. The company uses a plantwide

overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. It is considering implementing an activity-based costing (ABC) system that allocates all of its manufacturing overhead to four cost pools. The following additional information is available for the company as a whole and for Products Y and Z:
Activity Cost Pool Activity Measure Estimated Overhead Cost Expected Activity
Machining Machine-hours $200,000 10,000 MHs
Machine setups Number of setups $100,000 200 setups
Production design Number of products $84,000 2 products
General factory Direct labor-hours $300,000 12,000 DLHs
Activity Measure Product Y Product Z
Machining 8,000 2,000
Number of setups 40 160
Number of products 1 1
Direct labor-hours 9,000 3,000

Answer:

Greenwood Company

1. Company's plantwide overhead rate = $57

2. Allocation of Manufacturing overhead based on plantwide overhead rate:

Product Y = $57 * 9,000 = $513,000

Product Z = $57 * 3,000 =  $171,000

3. Activity rate for the Machining activity cost pool = $20 per MHs.

4. Activity rate for the Machine Setups activity cost pool = $500 per setup.

5. Activity rate for the product Design activity cost pool = $42,000 per product.

6. Activity rate for the General Factory activity cost pool = $25

7. The batch-level activity = Machine setup

8. The product-level activity = Product Design

9. Using the ABC system, Manufacturing overhead cost assigned to Product Y = $447,000

10. Using the ABC system, Manufacturing overhead cost assigned to Product Z = $237,000

11. Using the plantwide overhead rate, the percentage of the total overhead costs allocated to product Y and Product Z is:

Product Y = 75% ($513,000/$684,000 * 100)

Product Z = 25% ($171,000/$684,000 * 100)

12. Using the ABC system, the percentage of the Machining costs assigned to Product Y and Product Z is:

Product Y = 80% ($160,000/$200,000 * 100)

Product Z = 20% ($40,000/$200,000 * 100)

13. Using the ABC system, the percentage of the Machine Setups cost assigned to Product Y and Product Z is:

Product Y = 20% ($20,000/$100,000 * 100)

Product Z = 80% ($80,000/$100,000 * 100)

14. Using the ABC system, what percentage of the product design cost assigned to Product Y and Product Z is:

Product Y = 50% ($42,000/$84,000 * 100)

Product Z = 50% ($42,000/$84,000 * 100)

15. Using the ABC system, what percentage of the General Factory cost assigned to Product Y and Product Z is:

Product Y = 75% ($225,000/$300,000 * 100)

Product Z = 25% ($75,000/$300,000 * 100)

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Production design      Number of products  $84,000             2 products

General factory          Direct labor-hours    $300,000            12,000 DLHs

Total                                                              $684,000  

Activity Measure        Product Y         Product Z

Units produced               14,000            6,000

Machining                        8,000            2,000

Number of setups                40                160

Number of products               1                     1

Direct labor-hours          9,000            3,000

Plantwide overhead rate = Total overhead costs/direct labor-hours

= $684,000/12,000 = $57 per DLHs

Overhead Rate =

                                     

Machining                   $20  ($200,000/10,000) per MHs

Machine setup           $500  ($100,000/200) per setup

Production design     $42,000 ($84,000/2) per product

General factory          $25 ($300,000/12,000) per DLHs

Assignment of Manufacturing Overhead:

                                Product Y   Product Z    Total     Product Y   Product Z

Machining                $160,000   $40,000  $200,000    80%           20%

Machine setup            20,000      80,000    100,000     20%           80%

Production design      42,000      42,000      84,000     50%           50%

Explanation:

Culture is simply regarded as people's way of life. The way if life include their food, the kind of music they listen to, their religion, language, their beliefs, values etc.

Suppose you were hired as a consultant for a company that wants to penetrate the Comp-XM market. This company wants to pursue a
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Option B. Chester Company

Explanation:

The company wants to pursue Niche Cost Leader Strategy. In a Niche cost leader strategy the product is highly differentiated and the cost the company charges to its customer is low as apposed to other competitors. The companies that has highly differentiated product and are new entrants usually use this strategy to win a good share of market size.

The strongest competitor would have lowest price, very stable market share price, high investment in plant and equipment, higher production capacity, lowest return on investment, lowest earnings per dollar sales. etc.

Now we will asses different reports and conclude which competitor will be the strongest competitor for the Niche Cost Leader Strategy company. The analysis is given as under:

  • <u>Lowest Price:</u> If we look at the Production information, Price Column and take the average price of the products of each company then we can conclude that Chester's price of average product is $20, Baldwin has $24.17 and the rest of the competitors are charging high. This means Chester is charging lowest price.
  • <u>Stable Market Share Price:</u> The vulnerability of share price of Chester is the lowest which stands at $0.45. This means that the stock exchange values the company's share as a stable stock with least vulnerability. (See Stock Market Summary)
  • <u>Lower Return on Asset and Return on Sales:</u> If we analyze the Selected Financial Statistics then we will acknowledge that Chester also has 2nd lowest Return on Assets and Return on sales which shows that the company is charging lower prices to its customers. Baldwin is not appropriate to consider here because the company is incurring losses hence its Return on Assets and Return on Sales can not be considered as good indication.
  • <u>Higher Investment in Plant and equipment:</u> The company has 2nd highest investment in plant and equipment with highest Net Book Value of $148k and Baldwin stands at $178k. Now again the higher investment of Baldwin is financed by debt which costs the company more than Chester. This means Chester would be strongest competitor because the company will have to only bear the depreciation cost which is non cash flow in nature and not the interest cost which Baldwin is bearing. (See Income statement for Interest Cost and Balance sheet for Carrying value of the asset).
  • <u>Production Capacity:</u> Chester has the highest production capacity which means that the company despite its 2nd largest investment in plant and equipment. This means that the plant and machinery of Chester is more innovative which is the reason that the production capacity is higher than other competitors.

From the above analysis it seems that Chester is pursuing Niche Cost Leader Market and is the strongest competitor that the company will face. Hence B is the correct option here.
