Bonita Corporation produces two grades of non-alcoholic wine from grapes that it buys from California growers. It produces and sells roughly 3,000,000 liters per year of a low-cost, high-volume product called CoolDay. It sells this in 600,000 5-liter jugs. Bonita also produces and sells roughly 300,000 liters per year of a low-volume, high-cost product called LiteMist. LiteMist is sold in 1-liter bottles. Based on recent data, the CoolDay product has not been as profitable as LiteMist. Management is considering dropping the inexpensive CoolDay line so it can focus more attention on the LiteMist product. The LiteMist product already demands considerably more attention than the CoolDay line. Jack Eller, president and founder of Bonita, is skeptical about this idea. He points out that for many decades the company produced only the CoolDay line and that it was always quite profitable. It wasnt until the company started producing the more complicated LiteMist wine that the profitability of CoolDay declined. Prior to the introduction of LiteMist, the company had basic equipment, simple growing and production procedures, and virtually no need for quality control. Because LiteMist is bottled in 1-liter bottles, it requires considerably more time and effort, both to bottle and to label and box than does CoolDay. The company must bottle and handle 5 times as many bottles of LiteMist to sell the same quantity as CoolDay. CoolDay requires 1 month of aging; LiteMist requires 1 year. CoolDay requires cleaning and inspection of equipment every 10,000 liters; LiteMist requires such maintenance every 600 liters. Jack has asked the accounting department to prepare an analysis of the cost per liter using the traditional costing approach and using activity-based costing. The following information was collected. CoolDay LiteMist Direct materials per liter $0.40 $1.20 Direct labor cost per liter $0.50 $0.90 Direct labor hours per liter 0.06 0.08 Total direct labor hours 180,000 24,000 Estimated Use of Cost Drivers per Product Activity Cost Pools Cost Drivers Estimated Overhead Estimated Use of Cost Drivers CoolDay LiteMist Grape processing Cart of grapes $147,022 6,600 6,000 600 Aging Total months 495,000 6,600,000 3,000,000 3,600,000 Bottling and corking Number of bottles 280,800 900,000 600,000 300,000 Labeling and boxing Number of bottles 235,800 900,000 600,000 300,000 Maintain and inspect equipment Number of inspections 242,400 800 350 450 $1,401,022 Answer each of the following questions. (a) Correct answer icon Your answer is correct. Under traditional product costing using direct labor hours, compute the total manufacturing cost per liter of both products. (Round answers to 3 decimal places, e.g. 12.250.) CoolDay LiteMist Manufacturing cost per liter $ 1.31 $ 2.65 eTextbook and Media Attempts: 1 of 3 used (b) Correct answer icon Your answer is correct. Under ABC, prepare a schedule showing the computation of the activity-based overhead rates (per cost driver). (Round overhead rates to 3 decimal places, e.g. 12.250.) Activity Cost Pools Estimated Overhead Estimated Use of Cost Drivers Activity-Based Overhead Rates Grape processing $ 147022 6600 $ 22.28 per cart Aging 495000 6600000 $ .075 per month Bottling and corking 280800 900000 $ .312 per bottle Labeling and boxing 235800 900000 $ .262 per bottle Maintain and inspect equipment 242400 800 $ 303 per inspection $ 1401022 eTextbook and Media Attempts: 2 of 3 used (c) Partially correct answer icon Your answer is partially correct. Prepare a schedule assigning each activitys overhead cost pool to each product, based on the use of cost drivers. Include a computation of overhead cost per liter. (Round overhead rate, cost per liter to 3 decimal places, e.g. 12.250 and cost assigned to 0 decimal places, e.g. 12,250.)
