TEST 2
Answer
a. ₱92,150
b. ₱25,850
c. ₱36,225
d. ₱236,000
e. ₱252,000
f. ₱241,500
g. ₱21,700
h. ₱83,300
Solutions:
a. DM = Total MANUFACTURING cOST - (DL + OH)
= ₱195,650 - (57,000 + 46,500)
= ₱195,650 - 103,500
DM = ₱92,150
d. TMC = DM + DL + OH
= ₱68,400 + 86,000 + 81,600
TMC = ₱236,000
TEST 3
a.) Compute the break-even point in total sales pesos and in units for 2020.
Answer:
The variable costs per units:
Cost of goods sold (75% x ₱800,000 / 240,000,) ₱2.5
Selling expenses (42% x ₱280,000 / 240,000) 0.49
Administrative expenses (40% x ₱150,000 / 240,000) 0.25
Total ₱3.24
₱5 X = ₱3.24 X + ₱550,100
₱5 X - ₱3.24 X = ₱550,100
₱1.76 X = ₱550,100
X = 312,556.82 or 312,557 units
b.) Peri has proposed a plan to get the partnership “out of the red” and improve its profitability. She feels that the quality of
the product could be substantially improved by spending P0.25 more per unit on better raw materials. The selling price per
unit could be increased to only P5.25 because of competitive pressures. Peri estimates that sales volume will increase by
25%. What effect would Peri’s plan have on the profits and the break-even point in pesos of the partnership? (Round the
contribution margin ratio to two decimal places.)
Answer
Variable unit of cost of goods sold = (₱600,000 / 240,000) = ₱2.5
₱2.5 + ₱0.25 = ₱2.75
Sales volume = 25% x 240,000 = 60,000
240,000 + 60,000 = 300,000 units
Total sales = 300,000 x ₱5.25
= ₱1,575,000
Fixed expenses
Cost of good sales ₱320,000
Selling expenses 117,600
Administrative expenses 112,500
Total fixed expenses (550,100)
Net income ₱ 52,900
c.) Paul was a marketing major in college. He believes that sales volume can be increased only by intensive advertising
and promotional campaigns. He therefore proposed the following plan as an alternative to Peri’s: (1) increase variable
selling expenses to P0.59 per unit, (2) lower the selling price per unit by P0.25, and (3) increase fixed selling expenses by
$40,000. Paul quoted an old marketing research report that said that sales volume would increase by 60% if these
changes were made. What effect would Paul’s plan have on the profits and the break-even point in pesos of the
partnership?
Answer
Sales [240,000 + 60% x 240,000) = 384,000 x (₱5 - ₱0.25) ₱1,824,000
Variable expenses
Cost of good sales (384,000 x ₱2.5) ₱960,000
Selling expenses (384,000 x ₱0.59) 226,560
Administrative expenses (384,000 x ₱0.25) 96,000
Total variable expenses (1,282,560)
Contribution margin ₱ 541,440
Fixed expense
Cost of good sales ₱320,000
Selling expenses (₱117,600 x ₱40,000) 157,600
Administrative expenses 112,500
Total fixed expenses (590,100)
Net income ₱ 48,660
TEST 4
a. Compute the activity-based overhead rate for each activity cost pool.
b. How much cost would be charged to an in-house manufacturing department that consumed 1,800 hours of market
analysis time, was provided 280 designs relating to 10 products, and requested 92 engineering tests?
ACTIVITY Cost Driver Activity Based Cost
Overhead Rate
(multiple by)
c. How much cost would serve as the basis for pricing an R&D bid with an outside company on a contract that would
consume 800 hours of analysis time, require 178 designs relating to 3 products, and result in 70 engineering tests?
d. What is the benefit to Ideal Manufacturing of applying activity-based costing to its R&D activity for both in-house and
outside charging purposes?
Better cost allocation could be done after using activity-based costing, and the R&D cost related to in-house
production is identified. While the cost related to R&D services provided to outsiders could be determined and the same
could be charged.
