Grady, Inc. manufactures model airplane kits and projects production at 650, 500, 450, and 600 kits for the next four quarters. Direct materials are 4 ounces of plastic per kit and the plastic costs $1 per ounce. Indirect materials are considered insignificant and are not included in the budgeting process. Beginning Raw Materials Inventory is 850 ounces, and the company desires to end each quarter with 10% of the materials needed for the next quarter’s production. Grady desires a balance of 200 ounces in Raw Materials Inventory at the end of the fourth quarter. Each kit requires 0.10 hours of direct labor at an average cost of $10 per hour. Manufacturing overhead is allocated using direct labor hours as the allocation base. Variable overhead is $0.20 per kit, and fixed overhead is $165 per quarter. Prepare Grady’s direct materials budget, direct labor budget, and manufacturing overhead budget for the year. Round the direct labor hours needed for production, budgeted overhead costs, and pre-determined overhead allocation rate to two decimal places.
Refer to the budgets prepared. Determine the cost per kit to manufacture the model airplane kits. Grady projects sales of 100, 150, 100, and 200 kits for the next four quarters. Prepare a cost of goods sold budget for the year. Grady has no kits in beginning inventory.
