    1) $4252) $4503) $4854) $490

    o. Another customer is on a limited budget and offers to supply an assistant to take the place of Ronsregular assistant. This would decrease the set-up and take-down time by 50%.

    15 Question 2Jane left her job as the production manager of a medium-sized firm two years ago to join a new firm thatmanufactures a revolutionary type of fitness equipment. Jane was made the general manager at the start ofoperations, and the firm seemed to be doing extremely well. The president was pleased with thecompanys first-year performance and at the beginning of the second year promised Jane a $20,000 bonusif the companys net income were to increase by 25% in Year 2.

    During Year 2, Jane sold 25% more units than she had in Year 1 and was so confident that she wouldreceive her bonus that she bought non-refundable airline tickets to Europe for her husband and her threesons.

    At the end of Year 2, Jane received the income statement for Year 2, which showed that the companysincome had decreased from Year 1 even though the company had sold considerably more units. Jane didnot get along very well with the accountant and felt that he had deliberately distorted the financialstatements for Year 2.

    Following are the reports Jane received:

    Year 1 Year 2

    Production (in units) 6,000 3,000Sales (in units) 4,000 5,000Unit selling price $ 500 $ 500Unit costs:

    Required

    9 a. Prepare variable costing income statements for Years 1 and 2.

    Answer the following questions independently of each other.

    7 a. Assuming that the fee is increased by $18.00 per person per day in Year 3 and the number of tour-days declines by 200 per month, calculate the effect on the monthly operating income.

    9 b. A group of foreign travellers has offered Whiskey-Jack a proposal for 300 tour-days in July ifWhiskey-Jack will reduce the fee to $67.50 per tour-day. The group would provide its own food.Whiskey-Jack would incur $300 in additional costs for bussing the tourists back and forth to the campsite. Determine whether Whiskey-Jack should accept the proposal. (Hint: Calculate the effect on

    operating income.)

    15 Question 4Alpha Inc. manufactures digital compasses for navigation. The companys total overhead budget forJanuary, for the manufacture of 2,000 units, was $49,600. Overhead is applied on the basis of directlabour-hours. On the last day of the month, just as the 2,000th unit was completed after a total of752 actual direct labour-hours, the hard-drive on the microcomputer that contained the months detailedcost information crashed. With the computer out of commission, the cost accountant has had difficultycompleting the variance analysis report. He has managed to assemble the incomplete information below

    for January:

    Variable overhead:0.4 direct labour-hours @ $8.00 per hour (from the standard cost card)Actual cost: variable overhead cost $8,400

    Fixed overhead:Budget variance $2,000 favourable

    Required

    13 a. Compute the following for January:

    (3) i) Variable overhead flexible budget allowance for the manufacture of the 2,000 units(3) ii) Variable overhead spending variance(3) iii) Variable overhead efficiency variance(2) iv) Budgeted fixed overhead(2) v) Actual fixed overhead

    2 b. List an advantage of flexible budgets over static budgets as a tool for planning and as a tool forcontrol.

    10 Question 5BabyGoGo Ltd. manufactures three models of childrens swing sets: standard, deluxe, and super. Thestandard set is made of steel, the deluxe set is made of aluminium, and the super set is made of a titanium-aluminum alloy. Because of the different materials used, production requirements differ significantlyacross models in terms of machine types and time requirements. However, once the parts are produced,assembly time per set for the three models is similar. For this reason, BabyGoGo allocates overhead costson the basis of machine-hours. In Year 2, the company produced 5,000 standard sets, 500 deluxe sets, and

    2,000 super sets. The company had the following revenues and expenses for the year.

    BABYGOGO LTD.

    Fixed overhead costs:Plant administration 88,000Other 182,000

    Gross profit $ 243,600

    The chief financial officer of BabyGoGo has hired a consultant to recommend cost allocation bases. Theconsultant has recommended the following:

    Activity Level

    Activity Cost Driver Standard Deluxe Super Total

    Machine setup Number of production runs 22 11 17 50Sales order processing Number of sales orders received 300 200 300 800Warehouse costs Number of units in inventory 200 100 100 400Shipping Number of units shipped 5,000 500 2,000 7,500

    The consultant found no basis for allocating the plant administration and other fixed overhead costs, andrecommended that they not be applied to products.

    Required

    8 a. In your examination booklet, complete the income statement using the cost allocation basesrecommended by the consultant. Do not allocate any fixed overhead costs.

    2 b. Explain how activity-based costing might result in better decisions by BabyGoGo management.

    Two advantages of flexible budgets over static budgets:

    As an aid to planning, flexible budgets assist in allocating resources by helping managers to predictwhat future costs should be at different activity levels

    As an aid to the control of costs, flexible budgets help managers gain more insight into the cause ofvariances than is available with static budgets.

    2 b. Activity-based costing (ABC) provides a more detailed breakdown of costs and better matches eachcost with the activity that incurred the cost. This additional information should enable BabyGoGo tomake more accurate decisions. For example, if BabyGoGo wants to reduce costs, with ABC it canidentify the most costly activities and/or which costs are most amenable to reduction. Also, Thecompany will also be able to determine more accurate product cost information for product pricing.
