0.30 × Prime cost = $12,000

Prime cost = $40,000

Prime cost = Direct materials + Direct labor

$40,000 = Direct materials + $12,000

Direct materials = $28,000

|Total manufacturing costs |= |Direct materials |+ |Direct labor |+ |Manufacturing Overhead |

|$86,000 |= |$28,000 |+ |$12,000 |+ |Manufacturing Overhead |

Manufacturing overhead = $46,000

Between the beginning and the end of the month, the raw materials and work in process inventories decreased by $4,000 and $3,000, respectively. The total manufacturing costs used in the computation of cost of goods manufactured during the month of April was:

A) $88,000

B) $91,000

C) $99,000

D) $102,000

Ans:  C AACSB:  Analytic AICPA BB:  Critical Thinking AICPA FN:  Reporting, Measurement LO:  4 Level:  Hard

Solution:

First calculate raw materials used:

|Beginning inventory raw materials|+ |Purchases |− |Ending inventory raw |= |Raw materials used |

| | | | |materials | | |

By rearranging:

|Purchases |+ ( |Beginning inventory raw|− |Ending inventory raw |) = |Raw materials used |

| | |materials | |materials | | |

Since raw material inventory decreased by $4,000, we know that:

Beginning inventory raw materials − Ending inventory raw materials = $4,000

Substituting into equation:

$25,000 + $4,000 = Raw materials used

$29,000 = Raw materials used

Next, solve for total manufacturing costs:

|Raw materials used |+ |Direct labor |+ |Manufacturing overhead |= |Total manufacturing costs |

|$29,000 |+ |$40,000 |+ |$30,000 |= |$99,000 |

| |Deduct: Ending raw materials inventory |5,000 |* |

| |Raw materials used |$40,000 | |

*Calculate this item by working backwards, as shown:

Raw materials used = Raw materials available − Ending raw materials inventory

$40,000 = $45,000 − Ending raw materials inventory

Ending raw materials inventory = $5,000

104. The beginning finished goods inventory was:

A) $5,000

Ans:  C AACSB:  Analytic AICPA BB:  Critical Thinking AICPA FN:  Reporting, Measurement LO:  1,3,4 Level:  Hard

Solution:

Sales − Cost of goods sold = Gross margin

Cost of goods sold = Sales − Gross margin

Cost of goods sold = $200,000 − $60,000

Cost of goods sold = $140,000

Next, solve backwards for beginning finished goods inventory:

| |Beginning raw materials inventory |$ 25,000 |* |

| |Add: Cost of goods manufactured |135,000 | |

| |Cost of goods available for sale |160,000 |* |

Use the following to answer questions 181-183:

Dominik Corporation purchased a machine 5 years ago for $527,000 when it launched product M08Y. Unfortunately, this machine has broken down and cannot be repaired. The machine could be replaced by a new model 310 machine costing $545,000 or by a new model 240 machine costing $450,000. Management has decided to buy the model 240 machine. It has less capacity than the model 310 machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making product M08Y. Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of dropping product M08Y and not replacing the old machine. If that were done, the $450,000 invested in the new machine could instead have been invested in a project that would have returned a total of $532,000.

212. Mary Tappin, an assistant Vice President at Galaxy Toys, was disturbed to find on her desk a memo from her boss, Gary Resnick, to the controller of the company. The memo appears below:

Galaxy Toys Internal Memo

Sept 15

To: Harry Wilson, Controller

Fm: Gary Resnick, Executive Vice President

As you know, we won't start recording many sales until October when stores start accepting shipments from us for the Christmas season. Meanwhile, we are producing flat-out and are building up our finished goods inventories so that we will be ready to ship next month.

Unfortunately, we are in a bind right now since it looks like the net income for the quarter ending on Sept 30 is going to be pretty awful. This may get us in trouble with the bank since they always review the quarterly financial reports and may call in our loan if they don't like what they see. Is there any possibility that we could change the classification of some of our period costs to product costs--such as the rent on the finished goods warehouse?

Please let me know as soon as possible. The President is pushing for results.

Mary didn't know what to do about the memo. It wasn't intended for her, but its contents were alarming.

Required:

a. Why has Gary Resnick suggested reclassifying some period costs as product costs?

b. Why do you think Mary was alarmed about the memo?

Ans:

a. Gary Resnick has suggested reclassifying some period costs as product costs since the company is building up large finished goods inventories in anticipation of the Christmas selling season. Product costs are inventoried and flow through to the income statement only when products are sold. Period expenses, in contrast, flow directly to the income statement. Since most of the finished goods inventories will be held over to the next quarter, reclassifying period costs as product costs will effectively defer recognition of expenses until next quarter and therefore will improve the current quarter's net operating income.

b. Mary Tappin is probably alarmed by both the economic situation the company finds itself in and by the apparent willingness of top management to bend the rules. Improperly reclassifying costs is an indication that top management does not feel like it has to play by the rules or be honest in its dealings with the bank. With such loose ethical standards, Mary may wonder what other things they are doing that are unethical and/or illegal.
