The store has both a movie (DVD) section and a music (CD) section. BBE reports revenues for the movie section separately from the music section. Requirement Page 3 Classify each cost item (A-H) as follows: a. Direct or indirect (D or I) costs of the total number of DVDs sold. b. Variable or fixed (V or F) costs of how the total costs of the movie section change as the total number of DVDs sold changes. (If in doubt, select on the basis of whether the total costs will change substantially if there is a large change in the total number of DVDs sold.) 1-3 My Accounting Lab Homework Question 4 E2 – 27 Ocean View Motors specializes in producing one specialty vehicle. It is called Surfer and is styled to easily fit multiple surfboards in its back area and top-mounted storage racks. Ocean View has the following manufacturing costs: Page 4 (Click the icon to view the manufacturing costs.) 1-3 My Accounting Lab Homework Page 5 Ocean View currently produces 220 vehicles per month. 1-3 My Accounting Lab Homework Page Requirement 3. What is the total manufacturing cost of each vehicle if 90 vehicles are produced each month? 215 vehicles? How do you explain the difference in the manufacturing cost per unit? 6 The concept of relevant range is potentially relevant for both graphs. The question does not place restrictions on the unit variable costs. The relevant range for the total fixed costs is from 0 to 500 tires; 501 to 1000 tires; more than 1000 tires, and so on. Within these ranges, the total fixed costs do not change in total. 1-3 My Accounting Lab Homework Calculate the manufacturing cost of each vehicle (a) if 90 vehicles are produced each month and (b) if 215 vehicles are produced each month. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.) A. 90 = (418,000 ÷ 90) = $4,644.44 + $2,200.00 = $6,844.44 B. 215 = (548,000 ÷ 215) = $2,548.837 + $2,200.00 = $4,748.84 Explain the difference in the unit-cost figures. The difference is caused by the fixed cost increment of $130,000 being spread over an increment of 125 vehicles and the fixed cost per unit is lower. Question 5 E2-33 Each of the following cost items pertains to one of these companies: Best Buy (a merchandising-sector company), KitchenAid (a manufacturing-sector company), and HughesNet (a service-sector company): Page Cost of phones and computers available for sale in Best Buy's  electronics department Electricity used to provide lighting for assembly-line workers at a KitchenAid manufacturing plant Depreciation on HughesNet satellite equipment used to provide its services Electricity used to provide lighting for BestBuy's store aisles Wages for personnel responsible for quality testing of the KitchenAid products during the assembly process f.

Requirement 1. Calculate total prime costs and total conversion costs. Page Requirements 1. Calculate total prime costs and total conversion costs. 2. Calculate total inventoriable costs and period costs. 3. Design costs and R&D costs are not considered product costs for financial statement purposes. When might some of these costs be regarded as product costs? Give an example. 4. Suppose that both the direct materials used and the depreciation on plant and equipment are related to the manufacture of 1 million units of product. Determine the unit cost for the direct materials assigned to those units and the unit cost for depreciation on plant and equipment. Assume that yearly depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis. 5. Assume that the implied cost-behavior patterns in requirement 4 persist. That is, direct material costs behave as a variable cost and depreciation on plant and equipment behaves as a fixed cost. Repeat the computations in requirement 4, assuming that the costs are being predicted for the manufacture of 2 million units of product. Determine the effect on total costs. 6. Assume that depreciation on the equipment (but not the plant) is computed based on the number of units produced because the equipment deteriorates with units produced. The depreciation rate on equipment is $8.00 per unit. Calculate the depreciation on equipment assuming (a) 1 million units of product are produced and (b) 2 million units of product are produced. 16 Read the requirements 1-3 My Accounting Lab Homework Total prime costs Total conversion costs $155 Million = (116 + 39) $94 Million = (39 + 55) Requirement 2. Calculate total inventoriable costs and period costs. Manufacturing costs incurred during Total inventoriable costs $210 2017 Million (Marketing, distribution & customer Period costs $98 Serv. Cots.) Requirement 4. Suppose that both the direct materials used and the depreciation on plant and equipment are related to the manufacture of 1 million units of product. Determine the unit cost for the direct materials assigned to those units and the unit cost for depreciation on plant and equipment. Assume that yearly depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis. Begin by determining the formula used to calculate the unit cost for direct materials. Direct materials used ÷ Units = Unit cost Now calculate the unit cost for direct materials and the unit cost for depreciation on plant and equipment. Use the same logic that you used in determining the formula for direct materials unit cost, when you calculate the depreciation unit cost. (Enter unit cost in dollars. Round your answers to the nearest cent.) Direct materials used unit cost Depreciation unit cost $116.00 = (116 ÷ 1) $4.00 = (4 ÷ 1) Direct materials used unit cost Depreciation unit cost $116.00 (116 ÷ 1) $2.00 (4 ÷ 2) Page Repeat the computations in requirement 4, assuming that the costs are being predicted for the manufacture of 2 million units of product. (Enter unit cost in dollars. Round your answers to the nearest cent.) 17 Requirement 5. Assume that the implied cost-behavior patterns in requirement 4 persist. That is, direct material costs behave as a variable cost and depreciation on plant and equipment behaves as a fixed cost. Repeat the computations in requirement 4, assuming that the costs are being predicted for the manufacture of 2 million units of product. Determine the effect on total costs. 1-3 My Accounting Lab Homework Requirement 6. Assume that depreciation on the equipment (but not the plant) is computed based on the number of units produced because the equipment deteriorates with units produced. The depreciation rate on equipment is $8.00 per unit. Calculate the depreciation on equipment assuming (a) 1 million units of product are produced and (b) 2 million units of product are produced. Begin by determining the formula used to calculate the depreciation on equipment. Calculate the depreciation on equipment assuming: (Do not round intermediary calculations. Enter answers in millions rounded to two decimal places, $X.XX million.) 16 million. 18 (b) 2 million units of product are produced, the depreciation would then be $ million. Page (a) 1 million units of product are produced, the depreciation would be $ $8
