Part 1:

a. Total Manufacturing Costs:

Direct material used (variable)        $12,000

Direct labor used (variable)            $28,000

Manufacturing overhead (variable)  $4,550

Manufacturing overhead (fixed)     $10,800

Total manufacturing costs =         $55,350

b. Cost-of-Goods-Manufactured:

Total manufacturing costs  =  $55,350

c. Per unit cost of production = $55,350/90 = $615

d. Ending balance of Finished Goods Inventory (in units and dollars)

Beginning inventory of finished goods = 50

Plus units produced                                  90

Less units sold                                        (100)

Ending inventory of finished goods =     40 units

Cost of ending inventory of finished goods = $24,600 (40 * $615)

e. Cost-of-goods sold:

Beginning Finished Goods Inventory    $28,750

Cost of goods manufactured                   55,350

Less Ending Finished goods inventory (24,600)

Cost of goods sold =                             $59,500

f. Gross Margin:

Revenue ($800 * 100) = $80,000

Cost of goods sold =       (59,500)

Gross Margin =              $20,500

g. Net Income:

Gross Margin  $20,500

Less expenses (14,000)

Net income =    $6,500

Part 2. Identify clearly how the fixed manufacturing overhead (both that in the opening inventory and that incurred in 2019) has moved.

Fixed manufacturing overhead in Beginning Inventory = $4,500

= $90 per unit ($4,500/50)

Fixed manufacturing overhead in current period = $10,800

= $120 per unit ($10,800/90)

This shows that the per unit cost of fixed manufacturing overhead has increased from $90 to $120.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Selling price per unit $800

Beginning and ending balances of Work in Process Inventory 0

Beginning balance of Finished Goods Inventory (50 units) $28,750

$24,250 in variable manufacturing costs and $4,500 of fixed manufacturing overhead

Units produced 90

Units sold 100

Ending Finished Goods Inventory = 40 units (50 + 90 = 100)

Direct material used (variable) $12,000

Direct labor used (variable) $28,000

Manufacturing overhead (variable) $4,550

Manufacturing overhead (fixed) $10,800

Selling and admin. expenses:

in 2001, dell computer became the world’s largest personal computer vendor, continuing to

gain market share and post profits in an industry struggling with slumping sales and billions of

dollars in losses. dell sells 90% of its pcs directly to the final customer, largely bypassing the

reseller channel that accounts for most of the world’s pc sales. this direct customer relationship

is the key to dell’s business model, and provides distinct advantages over the indirect sales

model. dell’s direct relationship with the customer allows it to tailor its offerings to customer

needs, offer add-on products and services, and use the internet to offer a variety of customer

services. in addition, dell’s pcs are built to customers’ specifications upon receipt of an order,

giving dell additional advantages over indirect pc vendors who must try to forecast demand and

ship products based on those forecasts. dell’s direct sales and build-to-order model has achieved

superior performance in the pc industry in terms of inventory turnover, reduced overhead, cash

conversion, and return on investment (kraemer, et al., 2000).
