Cost of Normal Spoilage
Frieling Company installs granite countertops in customers' homes. First, the customer chooses the particular granite slab, and then Frieling measures the countertop area at the customer's home, cuts the granite to that shape, and installs it. The Tramel job calls for direct materials of $1,900 and direct labor of $500. Overhead is applied at the rate of 140 percent of direct labor cost. Unfortunately, one small countertop breaks during installation and Frieling must cut another piece and install it to properly complete the job. The additional rework required direct materials costing $400 and direct labor costing $100. Assume that the spoilage was due to carelessness by a Frieling worker and it is considered to be normal spoilage.
Required:
1. Calculate the cost of the Tramel job.
2. Make any needed journal entry to the overhead control account.
3. What if the additional rework required $200 of direct labor? What would be the effect on the cost of the Tramel job?

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

1. Cost of the Tramel Job

= Direct material cost + Direct labor cost + Overhead applied

= $1,900 + $500 + (140% × $500)

= $1,900 + $500 + $700

= $3,100

2. Journal entry to record the overhead cost

Overhead cost account Dr $500

To Material account Cr $400

To Labor account Cr $100

3. Effect of additional rework required $200 of direct labor on the cost of Tramel job

= Direct material cost + Direct labor cost + Overhead applied

= $1,900 + ($500 + $200) + (140% × $500)

= $1,900 + $700 + $700

= $3,300

The effect of additional rework required of $200 of direct labor cost is an increase of $200 on the cost of job for Tramel

One thousand adults live in Milltown. Every day, they all leave work at 4:30 p.m., arrive home at exactly 5:00 p.m., and go to bed at 9:00 p.m. Three fundraisers, Alpha, Beta, and Charlie, have targeted Milltown's population. To get a donation, they must call Milltown's residents after they get home from work but before they go to bed. Because the charities raising the funds are identical, the first to call a willing donor will get the donation. Beta's manager has decided that the best time to call is 7:00 p.m. because it is exactly halfway between 5:00 p.m. and bedtime. Which of the following is true?
a. Alpha and Charlie will also make calls at 7:00 p.m.
b. Beta's manager did not choose wisely.
c. Alpha and Charlie will divide up the rest of the market, with one choosing to call at 6:00 p.m. and the other at 8:00 p.m.
d. Beta is certain to generate the most donations.

Livingston Fabrication has created the following aggregate plan for the next five months:
August September October November December
Forecasting demand (units of finished goods)
1,000,000.00 1,000,000.00 2,000,000.00 4,000,000.00 1,000,000.00

Assume that Livingston will have nothing in inventory at the end of July. Livingston employs 500 production assembly workers and it takes one production assembly worker 3 minutes to assemble one unit of finished good. (The unit is complete at that point.) Each production assembly worker can provide 160 hours of assembly time a month without requiring overtime pay.
Livingston wants to complete this plan without working any overtime in assembly. How many additional production assembly workers does Livingston need to hire, in order to accomplish this? When should they be hired?
Using this production plan, how many units will be in inventory at the end of October?
What will the average inventory level be each month?
