Question

Ginocera Inc. is a designer, manufacturer, and distributor of custom gourment kitchen knives. A new kitchen knife series called the Kitchen Ninja was released for production in early 20Y8. In January, the company spent $600,000 to develop a late-night advertising infomercial for the new product. During 20Y8, the company spent an additional $1,402,000 promoting the product through these infomercials, and $819,000 in legal costs. The knives were ready for manufacture on January 1, 20Y8. Ginocera uses a job order cost system to accumulate costs associated with the Kitchen Ninja Knife. The unit direct materials cost for the knife is: Hardened steel blanks (used for knife shaft and blade) Wood (for handle) Packaging $3.85 1.40 0.40 The production process is straightforward. First, the hardened steel blanks, which are purchased directly from a raw material supplier, are stamped into a single piece of metal that includes both the blade and the shaft. The stamping machine requires one hour per 250 knives. After the knife shafts are stamped, they are brought to an assembly area where an employee attaches the handle to the shaft and packs the knife into a decorative box. The direct labor cost is $0.45 per unit.

Supporting calculations:

Sales: 1,128,000 units × $17 = $19,176,000

Cost of goods sold: 1,128,000 unit’s × $8.70 = $9,813,600

Manufacturing cost per unit (Knife):

Direct materials:

Hardened Steel Blanks…………………………………$3.85

Wood (for handle)……………………………………… 1.40

Packaging…………………………………………………… 0.40

Total direct materials………………………………… $5.65

Direct labor………………………………………………… 0.45

Factory overhead*……………………………………… 2.60

Total manufacturing cost per knife…………… $8.70

* $650 ÷ 250 knives per hour

Infomercial campaign = $1,402,000 + $600,000 = $20,020,000

Promotional materials: 58,500 stores × $60 = $3,600,000

Shipping expenses: 1,128,000 units × $0.15 = $169,200

Finished Goods balance, December 31, 20x8: (1,200,000 units – 1,128,000 units) × $8.70 = $626,400

Work in Process, December 31, 20x8: 28,000 units × ($5.65 + $2.60) = $231,000

The materials, stamping, and factory overhead have already been applied to the 28,000 units. Only the direct assembly labor has yet to be applied for these units.
