World Gourmet Coffee Company (WGCC) is a distributor and processor of different blends of coffee. The company buys coffee beans from around the world and roasts, blends, and packages them for resale. WGCC currently has 15 different coffees that it offers to gourmet shops in one-pound bags. The major cost is raw materials; however, there is a substantial amount of manufacturing overhead in the predominantly automated roasting and packing process. The company uses relatively little direct labor. Some of the coffees are very popular and sell in large volumes, while a few of the newer blends have very low volumes. WGCC prices its coffee at full product cost, including allocated overhead, plus a markup of 20 percent. If prices for certain coffees are significantly higher than market, adjustments are made. The company competes primarily on the quality of its products, but customers are priceconscious as well. Data for the 201 budget include manufacturing overhead of $21,919,840, which has been allocated on the basis of each product's direct-labor cost. The budgeted direct-labor cost for 201 totals $2,191,984. Based on the sales budget and raw-material budget. purchases and use of raw materials (mostly coffee beans) will total $7,500,000. The expected prime costs for one-pound bags of two of the company's products are as follows: WGCC's controller believes the traditional product-costing system may be providing misleading cost information. She has developed an analysis of the 201 budgeted manufacturing-overhead costs shown in the following chart. Data regarding the 20x1 production of Kona and Malaysian coffee are shown in the following table. There will be no raw-material inventory for either of these coffees at the beginning of the year. Required: 1. Using WGCC's current product-costing system: a. Determine the company's predetermined overhead rate using direct-labor cost as the single cost driver. b. Determine the full product costs and selling prices of one pound of Kona coffee and one pound of Malaysian coffee. 2. Develop a new product cost, using an activity-based costing approach, for one pound of Kona coffee and one pound of Malaysian coffee.

Manchester Technology, Inc., manufactures several different types of printed circuit boards; however, two of the boards account for the majority of the company's sales. The first of these boards, a television circult board, has been a standard in the industry for several years. The market for this type of board is competitive and price-sensitive. Manchester plans to sell 67,000 of the TV boards in 20x1 at a price of $370 per unit. The second high-volume product, a personal computer circuit board, is a recent addition to Manchester's product line. Because the PC board incorporates the latest technology, it can be sold at a premium price. The 201 plans include the sale of 42,000PC boards at $700 per unit. Manchester's management group is meeting to discuss how to spend the sales and promotion dollars for 20x1. The sales manager believes that the market share for the TV board could be expanded by concentrating Manchester's promotional efforts in this area. In response to this suggestion, the production manager said, "Why don't you go after a bigger market for the PC board? The cost sheets that I get show that the contribution from a PC board is significantly larger than the contribution from a TV board. I know we get a premium price for the PC board. Selling it should help overall profitability." The cost-accounting system shows that the following costs apply to the PC and TV boards. Variable manufacturing overhead is applied on the basis of direct-labor hours. For 201, variable overhead is budgeted at $2,270,000, and direct-labor hours are estimated at 259,875 . The hourly rates for machine time and direct labor are $24 and $32, respectively. The company applies a material-handling charge at 10 percent of material cost. This material-handling charge is not included in variable manufacturing overhead. Total 20x1 expenditures for direct material are budgeted at $18,729,000. Andrew Fulton, Manchester's controller, believes that before the management group proceeds with the discussion about allocating sales and promotional dollars to individual products, it might be worthwhile to look at these products on the basis of the activities involved in their production. Fulton has prepared the following schedule to help the management group understand this concept. "Using this information," Fulton explained, "we can calculate an activity-based cost for each TV board and each PC board and then compare it to the standard cost we have been using. The only cost that remains the same for both cost methods is the cost of direct material. The cost drivers will replace the direct labor, machine time, and overhead costs in the old standard cost figures." 1.
