IPX Packaging
IPX is a specialized packaging company that packages other manufactures’ products. Other
manufacturers ship their products to IPX in bulk. IPX then packages the products using high-
speed state-of-the-art packaging machines and ships the packaged products to wholesalers. A
typical order involves packaging small toys in see-through plastic and cardboard containers.
IPX uses a flexible budget to forecast annual plantwide overhead, which is then allocated to jobs
based on machine hours. The annual flexible overhead budget is projected to be $6 million of
fixed costs and $120 per machine hour. The budgeted number of machine hours for the year is
20,000.
At the end of the year, 21,000 machine hours were used, and actual overhead incurred was $9.14
million.

$195,000 of direct material costs, determine the inventory's direct labor cost and its factory
overhead costs.

Devoe Company
Devoe Company currently manufactures a part at a cost of $2.70 per unit. This cost is based on a
normal production rate of 100,000 units per year. The variable costs are $1.74 per unit, fixed
costs related only to the part are $36,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $60,000 per year.
These allocated costs would continue whether the company makes or buys the part. Devoe is
considering buying the part from a supplier that has quoted a price of $2.50 per unit. This price
would be guaranteed for a three-year period.
Should the company continue to manufacture the part or should it purchase the part from the
outside supplier? Support your answer with an analysis.

Tenuto Company
The Tenuto Company manufactures two products, hinges and fasteners, on the same production
line. Last month, the company experienced the following costs and results:
Several of the managers have approached the cost accounting department for help in
understanding activity-based costing. Their specific request is that ABC be applied to the
production results to see whether the average cost per unit is significantly changed. This
additional information is extracted from the production records for the month:
The overhead cost for supervision was $2,160. The cost driver for supervision is direct
labor cost.
The overhead cost for machinery depreciation was $28,840. The cost driver for this cost
is hours of use. The machinery was used 300 hours for hinges and 700 hours for
fasteners.
The overhead cost for preparing the line to manufacture products was $23,000. The line
was set up 31 times to produce different kinds of hinges and 94 times to produce different
kinds of fasteners.
Required
B. Determine the average cost per unit of the two products using direct materials, direct
labor and overhead allocated under ABC.
