Total Manufacturing Cost, Income Statement, Unit Cost, and Selling Price Two inventors, recently organized as Innovation, Inc., consult you regarding a planned new product. They have estimates of the costs of materials, labor, overhead, and other expenses for 2016 but need to know how much to charge for each unit to earn a profit in 2016 equal to 15% of their estimated total long-term investment of $560,000 (ignore income taxes).
Their plans indicate that each unit of the new product requires the following:
Direct Material 4 lb. of a material costing $7 per lb.
Direct labor 2 hrs. of a metal former's time at $15.40 per hr. 0.6 hr. of an assembler's time at $11.20 per hr.
Major items of production overhead would be annual rent of $65,044 for a factory building, $40,124 rent for machinery, and $30,380 of indirect material. Other production overhead is estimated to be $326,592. Selling expenses are an estimated 30% of total sales, and non-factory administrative expenses are 20% of total sales.
The consensus at Innovation is that during 2016 10,000 units of product should be produced for selling and another 2.000 units should be produced for the next years beginning inventory. Also, an extra 3,000 pounds of material will be purchased as beginning inventory for the next year. Because of the nature of the manufacturing process, all units started must be completed, so work in process inventories are negligible.

Incorporate the above data into a schedule of estimated total manufacturing costs and compute the unit production cost for 2016.

Dyed-denim corporation is seeking to lower the costs of value creation and achieve a low-cost position. as a result, it plans to move its manufacturing plant from the u.s. to thailand, which based on company research, is the optimal location for production. this strategic move will most likely allow the company to realize

The starr theater, owned by meg vargo, will begin operations in march. the starr will be unique in that it will show only triple features of sequential theme movies. as of march 1, the ledger of starr showed: cash $3,150, land $22,000, buildings (concession stand, projection room, ticket booth, and screen) $10,000, equipment $10,000, accounts payable $7,300, and owner’s capital $37,850. during the month of march, the following events and transactions occurred.mar. 2 rented the three indiana jones movies to be shown for the first 3 weeks of march. the film rental was $3,600; $1,600 was paid in cash and $2,000 will be paid on march 10.3 ordered the lord of the rings movies to be shown the last 10 days of march. it will cost $200 per night.9 received $4,500 cash from admissions.10 paid balance due on indiana jones movies rental and $2,200 on march 1 accounts payable.11 starr theater contracted with adam ladd to operate the concession stand. ladd is to pay 15% of gross concession receipts, payable monthly, for the rental of the concession stand.12 paid advertising expenses $900.20 received $5,100 cash from customers for admissions.20 received the lord of the rings movies and paid the rental fee of $2,000.31 paid salaries of $2,900.31 received statement from adam ladd showing gross receipts from concessions of $6,000 and the balance due to starr theater of $900 ($6,000 × 15%) for march. ladd paid one-half the balance due and will remit the remainder on april 5.31 received $9,200 cash from customers for admissions.1.) enter the beginning balances in the ledger.2.) journalize the march transactions. starr records admission revenue as service revenue, rental of the concession stand as rent revenue, and film rental expense as rent expense. (credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. do not indent manually. record journal entries in the order presented in the problem. if no entry is required, select "no entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)3.) post the march journal entries to the ledger. (post entries in the order of journal entries presented in the previous question.)

Statistical process control charts: a. indicate to the operator the true quality of material leaving the process. b. display upper and lower limits for process variables or attributes and signal when a process is no longer in control. c. indicate to the process operator the average outgoing quality of each lot. d. display the measurements on every item being produced. e. are a graphic way of classifying problems by their level of importance, often referred to as the 80-20 rule.
