FAQ 03 When I upload it, the results show that I have an answer wrong, yet that answer is needed for another
question which is marked correct.
The lamps are ceramic figurines of animals, boats, boys and girls playing and singing, all in delightful
colors. The owner of the business, Big Al, creates a drawing for the figurine and faxes it to a plant in
China where a mold is created and a sample produced and hand painted. If the mold meets the
expectations of Big Al an order of 500 lamp parts is placed. Each lamp kit consists of the parts
required to complete one lamp; a figurine, a lamp shade and the required electrical components.
There are presently 10 different figurines that come in six different colors; 60 models.
There are presently 10 workers in the plant. They are responsible for receiving the raw material,
manufacturing the product, packing and shipping. In addition to Big Al there are two office workers
who are responsible for all administrative duties.
Big Al had his accountant prepare the Projected Income Statement and Balance Sheet presented on
page two. Big Al heard about your skills in managerial accounting and would like your assistance in
the following areas:
To upload your work to Big Al the file without changing the name. Pay attention to the specific
location that Excel saves the file. Return to the bottom of the page that you downloaded the file from;
Cybertext.com, The Book List, Building Blocks of Accounting--A Managerial Perspective, Enter
password, Upload Your Excel File. If you upload an old version of the file the results will not update.
Keep two copies of your spreadsheet in two separate places in case one of Big Al's competitors sends
someone to destroy your work or it is lost in transmission.

PART 2
Cost Volume Relationships -
Profit Planning
Big Al is about to begin work on the budget for 20x2 and they have requested that you prepare an analysis
based on the following assumptions.
Note: Remember, that we cannot sell part of a lamp, therefore to find the number of units you have to round
up to the next complete unit. Furthuremore, to find the required sales in dollars it may be easier to find the
number of units and then multiply by the selling price per unit.
1. For 20x2 the selling price per lamp will be $45.00. What is the projected contribution margin and contribution
margin ratio for each lamp sold?
Contribution Margin per unit (Round to two places, $##.##) $18.62 {5.01} 2
Contribution Margin Ratio (Round to four places,% is two of those places ##.##%) 41.38% {5.02} 4
2. For 20x2 the selling price per lamp will be $45.00. The desired net income in 20x2 is $197,500 . What
would sales in units have to be in 20x2 to reach the profit goal?
Breakeven sales in units (Since we cannot sell part of a unit round up to the next unit if needed) 30,425 units {5.03} 0
3. For 20x2 the selling price per lamp will be $45.00. If the fixed cost increase by $75,000.00 how many lamps
must be sold to breakeven?
Breakeven sales in units (Since we cannot sell part of a unit round up to the next unit if needed) 23,846 units {5.04} 0

4. For 20x2 the selling price per lamp will be $45.00. If the variable cost increase by $7.50 a unit how many lamps
must be sold to breakeven?
Breakeven sales in units (Since we cannot sell part of a unit round up to the next unit if needed) 33,184 units {6.01} 0
5. For 20x2 the selling price per lamp will be $45.00. If the variable cost decreased by $7.50 a unit how many lamps
must be sold to breakeven?
Breakeven sales in units (Since we cannot sell part of a unit round up to the next unit if needed) 14,128 units {6.02} 0
6. If for 20x2 the selling price per lamp is increased to $52.50 a unit how many lamps must be sold
to breakeven?
Breakeven sales in units (Since we cannot sell part of a unit round up to the next unit if needed) 14,128 units {6.03} 0
7. If for 20x2 the selling price per lamp is decreased to $37.50 a unit how many lamps must be sold
to breakeven?

PART 3
Budgets
Division N has decided to develop its budget based upon projected sales of 35,000 lamps at
$52.00 per lamp.
The company has requested that you prepare a master budget for the year. This budget is to be used
for planning and control of operations and should be composed of:
1. Production Budget
2. Materials Budget
8. Cash Budget
The company wants to maintain the same number of units in the beginning and ending inventories of
work-in-process, and electrical parts while increasing the inventory of Lamp Kits to 675 pieces and
decreasing the finished goods by 20%.

Assume actual cash receipts and disbursements will follow the pattern below: (Note: Receivables and
Payables of 12/31/x1 will have a cash impact in 20x2.)
1. 20.00% of sales for the year are made in November and December. Since our customers have 60 day terms
those funds will be collected be collected in January and February.
2. 89.00% of material purchases will be paid during the year, the remaining portion will be paid in Januay or February.
3. All other manufacturing and operating costs are paid for when incurred.
4. The budgeted depreciation expense is equal to 0.6% of the fixed manufacturing, selling and administrative expenses.
5. Minimum Cash Balance needed for 20x2, $140,000 .

PART 4
Process Costing - Weighted Average
General Information
The I See The Light Company has a related company that produces the figurines. They use process costing
in the molding department. The factory overhead is applied at a rate of 50% of direct labor dollars.
The material is added at the beginning of the process. The labor and overhead costs are assumed
to be added uniformly throughout.
Month of January
Selected information for January is presented below. Note that the applied overhead rate was
50% of direct labor costs in the molding department.
Molding Department
Goods in-process as of January 1 were 3,300 figurines at a cost of $23,129.63. Of this amount, $5,214.00 was from
raw materials added, $11,943.75 for labor and $5,971.88 for overhead. These 3,300 figurines were assumed to be
25.00% complete as to labor and overhead.
During January, 24,500 units were started, $37,598.00 of materials and $59,176.25 of labor costs were incurred.
The 6,000 figurines that were in-process at the end of January were assumed to be 60.00% complete to
labor and overhead.

PART 5
To keep records of the actual cost of a special order job, a Job Order Cost System has been developed.
Overhead is applied at the rate of 50% of the direct labor cost.
On January 1, 20x2, Division S began Job 2407 for the Client, THE BIG CHILDREN STORE. The
job called for 4,000 customized lamps. The following set of transactions occurred from
January 5 until the job was completed:
$ 67,852.50 {13.01} 2
$ 11,783.50 {13.02} 2
$ 5,891.75 {13.03} 2

PART 6
Special order lamps are manufactured in division S. Because of the precise nature of the process a
standard cost system has been developed. The following standards are used for the special orders:
Standards
Lamp Kits $ 16.000000 per lamp
Direct Labor 2.400000 per lamp (4 lamps/hr.)
Variable Overhead 0.250000 per lamp (4 lamps/hr.)
** Fixed Overhead 10.000000 per lamp
Total $ 28.650000
** Fixed overhead is based on expected production of 4,008 customized lamps each month.
To keep records of the actual cost of a job, a Job Order Cost System has been developed. Entries
are made to the Job Order System at actual cost (overhead is applied based on actual labor hours)
while entries are made to the accounting system at standard. Variance analysis is used to analyze the
differences.
On January 1, 20x2, Division S began Job 1101 for the Client, THE BIG CHILDREN STORE. The
job called for 4,000 customized lamps. The following set of transactions occurred from
January 5 until the job was completed:

PART 7
Big Al gives his worker's a one hour lunch and two fifteen minute breaks each day. He believes that a
cold soda machine would be appreciated by his workers, and an appreciated worker is a good worker.
He has priced a machine at a national member only warehouse for $2,050. The machine should be
usable for 3 years, after which it would be inefficient, obsolete and would have to be disposed of at the
dump. Big Al believes that 8 cans a day will be purchased. The plant is open five days a week, 50
weeks per year. A case of soda (24 cans) costs $5.76 and Big Al believes that a price of $.70 per
can would win him good will.
