Required

a. Using the information above calculate the missing values in the above table

                                                                         i.     Revenue

                                                                       ii.     Cost of goods manufactured

                                                                      iii.     Cost of goods available for sale

                                                                      iv.     Ending finished goods inventory

                                                                       v.     Marketing costs

                                                                      vi.     Operating income

                                                                     vii.     Purchases of direct materials

                                                                   viii.     Utilities

                                                                      ix.     Beginning work-in-process inventory

                                                                        x.     Ending work-in-process inventory

b)      Identify the prime cost and conversion cost for Crooked Creek Wines for the period.

c)      Assuming the Crooked Creek Wines produced 65,000 bottles during this period, what is the unit cost of production?

d)      Assuming the cost structures remain the same, what would be the cost per unit of manufacturing 110,000 bottles?

e)      Write a short paragraph to the management of Crooked Creek Wines explaining the differences between the unit costs, if any, calculated in requirement c and d.

2. As the Try It! Questions does not provide specific context in which to analyse and interpret information, consider the following:

a)      Direct materials cost is $1.70 per bottle for Crooked Creek Wines – what are the direct materials included in this cost? If the industry average is $1.65 per bottle, what can this comparison tell management of Crooked Creek Wines? Consider this question considering the strategy of either product differentiation or cost leadership

b)      Electricity cost for Rolling in Dough is $8000 per month regardless of the number of unit produced – what type of contract does Rolling in Dough have with their electricity provider? How much is the electricity cost per unit using the figures from Topic 1?

c)      Transport costs for Crooked Creek Wines includes a flat fee of $80 per day (for leased distribution truck) plus $2 per kilometre driven – If Crooked Creek Wines purchased the truck and then replaced the flat free with depreciation of $2,200 per month and still retain the variable cost of $2 per kilometre driven, should they? If the lease contract includes free servicing, would you change your mind?

d)      Machine operating costs for Vine Dining (kitchen appliances etc) includes $1000 of maintenance costs per month, with $12 of other costs for each day the machinery is in operation – estimate the monthly cost for operating the machinery assuming 28 operating days? What other information would Vine Dining need to determine whether any of the machinery should be upgraded?

3.      Cost estimation – utilities

The Karmichaels’ property has single connections and metres for gas and water. The following information is provided regarding these utilities for the past year.

Using the high-low method, determine the liner cost function for both the gas and water costs.

Express the combined costs in a single linear cost equation.

Write an explanation of the procedure and the information it produces, as well as how this information is useful for cost management, to the Karmichaels.
