Question:

Outdoor Software Inc. is a designer, manufacturer, and distributor of software for microcomputers. A new product, Landscape 2008, was released for production and distribution in early 2008. In January, $700,000 was spent to design print advertisement. For the first six months of 2008, the company spent $2,500,000 promoting Landscape 2008 in trade magazines. The product was ready for manufacture on January 10, 2008.

Outdoor uses a job order cost system to accumulate costs associated with each software title. Direct materials unit costs are:

Blank CD ... $ 4.50

Packaging ... 8.00

Manual .... 11.00

Total ...... $23.50


The actual production process for the software product is fairly straightforward. First, blank CDs are brought to a CD copying machine. The copying machine requires 1 hour per 1,500 CDs.

After the program is copied onto the CD, the CD is brought to assembly, where assembly personnel pack the CD and manual for shipping. The direct labor cost for this work is $0.75 per unit.

The completed packages are then sold to retail outlets through a sales force. The sales force is compensated by a 10% commission on the wholesale price for all sales.

Total completed production was 45,000 units during the year. Other information is as follows:

Number of software units sold in 2008 . 40,000

Wholesale price per unit ......... $200


Factory overhead cost is applied to jobs at the rate of $1,200 per copy machine hour.

There were an additional 1,000 copied CDs, packaging, and manuals waiting to be assembled on December 31, 2008.
