Question 3

1) Summarize the information for TrueBeat from Q9 & 10 of HW1.1 assuming they produce and sell 1,000 drum sets during the year. Remember to use 2 decimals for per unit" values. 516 True Beat - Summarized connect given data Average Cost per Total Unit Dollars Direct materials $ 19 Direct labor $ 90 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 35 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 7000+ 16000 + 42,000 Fixed selling & administrative expense $ 239.000 33.000+ 7600 170,000 Variable selling & administrative expense s 25 Sales price per unit 2) Assume, due to the significant success of the drum sets, TrucBeat has obtained a contract to provide drum sets to a national merchandising chain. This contract is expected to increase TrueBeat's sales over the next 3 years. Current operations have a relevant range of 500 to 1,800 drum sets. TrueBeat's anticipates selling 3,000 units in Year 2, 5,000 units in Year 3 and 6,000 units in Year 4. Making the following cost changes, TrueBeat will increase their relevant range of production to between 4,000 and 8,000 drum sets. This significant increase to production will stair-step some of their costs. Specifically, the company will have to purchase additional equipment that will increase their machinery depreciation expense by 50% (Fixed overhead. The new equipment will allow TrueBeat to produce up to 10,000 drum sets a year. With increased production levels, TrueBeat will need to pay shift premium to assembly workers such that the average Direct labor will increase by $18 a unit. Additionally, production supervisor will be hired for $120,000 (fixed overhead). Additionally, the company providing factory maintenance services has agreed to a new contract. The new contract will include a fixed component (overhead) equal to half of the original flat fee and a variable component (overhead) that will be $0.25 per assembly wage dollars The company needs to increase its sales staff. Rather than paying their sales staff commission only, TrueBeat will pay sales staff a flat salary (fixed S&A) equal to twice the amount paid in Year 1 and a reduced commission per drum set equal to 50% of the previous commission rate. . . All other costs are considered consistent and within relevant range for production of 4,000 to 8,000 units. Use the information provided above to adjust amounts from the table in 1). Include the adjusted amounts in the table below. TrueBeat adjusted summarized data for production 4,000 to 8,000 units Adjust summarized data Average Cost Total Dollars Direct materials SL19 Direct labor 103 Variable manufacturing overhead SLGB Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 100.000 7000 + 3000 63,01 +110,000 Fixed selling & administrative expense 27500 170,000 33,000 72.00 Variable selling & administrative expense $12.5 Sales price per unit per Unit $ $ Note: The table above may be submitted early for verification. Upload it to the "submission" drop box on D2L, email or text a photo or PDF to Teri and she will look at it before you continue with the project. 3) TrucBcat's management will need to produce 4,000 units in Ycars 2 and 3 (to meet relevant range) and 6,000 units in Year 4. However, they anticipate selling only 3,000 units in Year 2 but 5,000 units in Years 3 and 6,000 units in Year 4. They will have to carry inventory produced in Year 2 until it is sold in Year 3. Note: Net Operating Income, or NOI, for this course is essentially Income before interest or tax expense and represents the operationally controlled components of Net Income. a) Using variable costing and contribution margin income statement format, prepare predictive income statements for Years 2, 3 and 4 below. TrueBeat Income Statement (Variable Costing) For Years ending December 31 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Sales revenue Variable production costs Variable S&A expenses Contribution Margin Fixed Overhead Fixed S&A expenses Net Operating Income b) Using absorption costing, prepare an absorption costing income statements for TrueBeat for Years 2, 3 and 4. TrueBeat Income Statement (Absorption Costing) For Years ending December 31 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Sales revenue Cost of Goods Sold Gross Margin S&A expenses Net Operating Income c) Do you think TrueBeat's decision to maintain drum sets inventory from year 2 until they are sold in year 3 was a good decision?
