A manufacturer has an estimated practical capacity of 90,000 machine hours, and each unit requires two machine hours. The following data apply to a recent accounting period: Actual variable overhead$ 240,000 Actual fixed overhead$ 442,000 Actual machine hours worked 88,000 Actual finished units produced 42,000 Budgeted variable overhead at 90,000 machine hours$ 200,000 Budgeted fixed overhead$ 450,000 Of the following factors, the manufacturer's production volume variance is most likely to have been caused by: A. A wage hike granted to a production supervisor. B. A newly imposed initiative to reduce finished goods inventory levels. C. Acceptance of an unexpected sales order. D. Temporary employment of workers with lower skill levels than originally anticipated.

Answer:

Of the following factors, the manufacturer's production volume variance is most likely to have been caused by:

D. Temporary employment of workers with lower skill levels than originally anticipated.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated practical capacity = 90,000 machine hours

Machine hours per unit = 2

Estimated production units based on capacity = 45,000 (90,000/2)

                                                   Budgeted          Actual

Variable overhead =                 $200,000      $240,000

Actual fixed overhead =           $450,000      $442,000

Machine hours                             90,000           88,000

Units produced                            45,000           42,000

Estimated units to be produced based on standard machine hour

= 44,000 units (88,000/2)

Variance between standard units to be produced and actual = 2,000 (44,000 - 42,000) Unfavorable

At the beginning of 2020, Beerbo acquired a mine for $970,000. Of this amount, $100,000 was ascribed to the land value (the remaining portion was ascribed to the mine). Surveys conducted by geologists have indicated that approximately 12,000,000 units of ore appear to be in the mine. Beerbo incurred $170,000 of development costs associated with this mine prior to any extraction of minerals.

A small factory is considering replacing its existing coining press with a newer, more efficient one. The existing press was purchased three years ago at a cost of $200000, and it is being depreciated according to a 7-year MACRS depreciation schedule. The factoryâs CFO estimates that the existing press has 6 years of useful life remaining. The purchase price for the new press is $280000. The installation of the new press would cost an additional $20000, and this installation cost would be added to the depreciable base. The new press (if purchased) would be depreciated using the 7-year MACRS depreciation schedule although, as noted below, it would be retired/sold after 6 years. Interest expenses associated with the purchase of the new press are estimated to be roughly $4000 per year for the next 6 years.

The appeal of the new press is that it is estimated to produce a pre-tax operating cost savings of $81000 per year for the next 6 years. Also, if the new press is purchased, the old press can be sold for $30000 today. The CFO believes that the new press would be sold for $45000 at the end of its 6-year useful life. Assume that NWC would not be affected. The company has an average tax rate of 29% and a marginal tax rate of 34%. The cost of capital (i.e., the discount rate) for this project is 8.5%.

Required:
Develop the incremental cash flows for this replacement decision and use them to calculate NPV and IRR. Next, make a conclusion about whether or not the existing coining press should be replaced at this time.
