Changing to a just-in-time, from a traditional, manufacturing environment can affect cost accounting systems.
Which of the following statements is correct?
A company makes two products, product X with a contribution per unit of $10 and product Y with a contribution per unit of $4.
These products are sold in the mix 3:2 by volume and fixed costs are $38,000 per period.
The breakeven point for product Y, based on the expected sales mix is:
MBB is considering the costs to be incurred in respect of a special order.
The order would require 625 kg of Material K.
This is a material that is readily available and regularly used by the organization in its other products.
There are 265 kg of Material K in inventory which cost $1,590 when it was purchased.
The current market price is $6.48 per kg.
Material K is normally used to make Product X. Each unit of Material X requires 3 kg of Material K, and if Material K is costed at $6 per kg, each unit of Product X yields a contribution of $30.
The relevant cost of Material K to be included in the costing of the special order is:
A musical instrument manufacturing company is considering a new project that will require 1000 kg of wood. They have 700 kgs of wood in stock which was purchased last year for £4 per kg. The wood in stock can be
sold back to the supplier for £5 per kg. The wood in stock will have to be replaced if it is used. The current purchase price of wood is £8 per kg.
Using this information, what is the relevant cost of wood for the manufacturers decision on this project?

For a company that does not have any production resource limitations, what would be the correct sequence for budget preparation?
A company is basing its budget on predicted sales of one of its products. They have tasked you with forecasting the sales in year 2. The company has found that a fairly accurate prediction can be found when the trend
is calculated like so:
a = 10,000
b = 2,000
The sales of year 1 were affected by seasonal variation and were as follows:
Q1:12,500
Q2:14,200
Q3:15,400

You use a multiplicative model and round percentages to the nearest whole percent.
Select ALL the correct quarterly forecasts of year 2 from the list.

The standard output from a joint process is 4,000 litres of Product K, 6,000 litres of Product L and 3,000 litres of Product M.
The total cost of the joint process is $147,000.
The company is now deciding if it should further process Product L.
In the further processing decision the best way to apportion the joint costs to the products is:
