Kallapur Company manufactures two products: KAP1, which
sells for $120; and QUIN, which sells for $220. Estimated cost
and production data for the current year are as follows:

ActivityBased
Managemen In addition, fixed manufacturing overhead is estimated to be
t and Target $2,000,000 and variable overhead is estimated to equal $3 per
direct labor hour. Kallapur desires a 15 percent return on sales
Costing
for all of its products.
Instructions
1. Calculate the target cost for both KAP1 and QUIN.
2. Estimate the total manufacturing cost per unit of each
product if fixed overhead costs are assigned to products
on the basis of estimated production in units. Which of
the products is earning the desired return?
3. Recalculate the total manufacturing cost per unit if fixed
overhead costs are assigned to products on the basis of
direct labor hours. Which of the products is earning the
desired return?
4. On the basis of the confusing results of parts b and c,
Kallapur’s manager decides to perform an activity
analysis of fixed overhead. The results of the analysis are
as follows:
Estimate the total manufacturing cost per unit of each
product if activity-based costing is used for assigning
fixed overhead costs. Under this method, which product
is earning the desired return?
5. What proportion of fixed overhead is value-added? In
attempting to reach the target cost for QUIN, which
activity would you look to improving first and why?
6. Kallapur’s production manager believes that design
changes would reduce the number of setups required for
QUIN to 25. Fixed overhead costs for set-ups would
remain unchanged. What will be the impact of the design
changes on the manufacturing costs of both products?
Which of the products will earn the desired return?
7. An alternative to the design change is to purchase a new
machine that will reduce the number of set-ups for KAP1
to 20 and the number of set-ups for QUIN to 80. The
machine will also reduce fixed set-up costs to $200,000.
Calculate the manufacturing costs for each product if the
machine is purchased. Should QUIN be redesigned or
should the machine be purchased? Why?

LO19-7, LO19- Arusetta Inc. produces a popular brand of air conditioner
that is backed by a five-year warranty. In Year 1, Arusetta
8
began implementing a total quality management program
PROBLEM
that has resulted in significant changes in its cost of quality.
19.4A
Listed below is Arusetta’s financial information relating to
sales and quality for Years 1 and 2.
Cost of Quality
Instructions
1. Prepare a cost of quality report for Arusetta covering
Year 1 and Year 2. Your report should divide the
above costs into the four categories of quality costs
and include total dollar amounts for each category.
2. How have the total amounts of prevention and
external failure costs changed over the two years?
What are some possible explanations for these
changes?
Page 872
3. At Arusetta, preventive maintenance has a direct
effect on the repair costs associated with equipment
breakdowns. Did the decrease in repair costs justify
the increase in maintenance costs?
4. Why might Arusetta’s estimate of lost sales remain
the same despite the adoption of the total quality
management program?

Tots-To–Go, Inc., has two divisions: the
Seat Division and the Stroller Division. The
Seat Division supplies the seat frames used
PROBLEM by the Stroller Division to make its strollers.
22.7A
The Stroller Division produces
approximately 10,000 strollers for young
Transfer
children annually. Thus, the Stroller
Pricing
Division receives 10,000 seat frames
Decisions
annually from the Seat Division. The market
price of these seats frames is $120. The total
variable cost of the seat frames is $95 per
unit. The market price of the strollers is
$300. The unit variable cost of each stroller
excluding the cost of the seat frame is $75.
The Seat Division is currently operating at
full capacity, producing 20,000 seat frames
per year (10,000 of which are transferred to
the Stroller Division). The demand for seat
frames is so great that all 20,000 units could
be sold to outside customers if the Stroller
Division acquired seat frames from
elsewhere. The Seat Division uses the full
market price of $120 as the transfer price
charged to the Stroller Division.
The manager of the Stroller Division asserts
that the Seat Division benefits from the
intercompany transfer because of reduced
shipping costs. As a result, he wants to
negotiate a lower transfer price of $110 per
unit.
Instructions
1. Compute the contribution margin
earned annually by each division and
by the company as a whole using the
current transfer price.
2. Compute the contribution margin that
would be earned annually by each
division and by the company as a
whole if the discounted transfer price
were used.
3. What issues and concerns should be
considered in setting a transfer price
for intercompany transfers of seats?
