The same raw material is used in all three products. Barlow Company has only 4,900 pounds of raw
material on hand and will not be able to obtain any more of it for several weeks due to a strike in its
supplier’s plant. Management is trying to decide which product(s) to concentrate on next week in filling its
backlog of orders. The material costs $9 per pound.
Required:
1. Compute the amount of contribution margin that will be obtained per pound of material used in each product.
2. a. Compute the amount of contribution margin on each product.
b. Which orders would you recommend that the company work on next week—the orders for product A,product B, or product C?
3. .A foreign supplier could furnish Barlow with additional stocks of the raw material at a substantial premium over the usual price. If there is unfilled demand for all three products, what is the highest price that Barlow Company should be willing to pay for an additional pound of materials?
• Question 4. Award: 6 out of 6.00 points
Imperial Jewelers is considering a special order for 24 handcrafted gold bracelets to be given as gifts to members of a wedding party. The normal selling price of a gold bracelet is $408.00 and its unit product cost is $268.00 as shown below:
Direct materials $ 147
Direct labor 81
Manufacturing overhead 40
Unit product cost $ 268
Most of the manufacturing overhead is fixed and unaffected by variations in how much jewelry is produced in any given period. However, $11 of the overhead is variable with respect to the number of bracelets produced. The customer who is interested in the special bracelet order would like special filigree applied to the bracelets. This filigree would require additional materials costing $10 per bracelet and would also require acquisition of a special tool costing $457 that would have no other use once the special order is completed. This order would have no effect on the company’s regular sales and the order could be fulfilled using the company’s existing capacity without affecting any other order.
Required:
- What effect would accepting this order have on the company’s net operating income if a special price of $368.00 per bracelet is offered for this order?
- Should the special order be accepted at this price?

ACC 349 Week 3 Team Assignment Part 1 (Jeemp Farms)
Read the following scenario below:
Leighton Beridon owns “Jeemp Farms”, located near Weimar, TX. The farm produces pecan trees and sod. He has so many orders from the Houston metropolitan area that he is able to sell all his inventory each year, but he is not netting as much as he has in past years.
His daughter, LieslBeridon, came home from college over Thanksgiving and mentioned ABC costing, which she learned about in her cost accounting class. Mr.Beridon does not really know what ABC costing is and is skeptical as to whether it would be right for his business.
He has hired your company to educate him about ABC and whether or not he should use an ABC system. Over the next few weeks, you will work towards helping Mr.Beridon decide what is the best route for his company to take.
Shortly after you get started, Mr.Beridon sends you an email stating that he feels he needs to discontinue the sod portion of his business and focus on his tree sector, as he can charge more per tree than he can charge for a foot of sod.
He sends you an email stating, “I can charge so much more for a tree than a foot of grass. Therefore, I am planning on discontinuing the sod portion of the business immediately as I make so much more on the trees! I am going to plant all my sod acres with trees”.
Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper plan for your boss explaining how you will analyzeJeemp Farms.
Include the following:
- Prepare an argument convincing him to hold off on his decision and see the results of your analysis first. As you have not had time to do any analysis yet, you need to convince Mr.Beridon to wait on whether to discontinue his sod business.
- Project potential benefits Mr.Beridon could gain from using an ABC system.
- Explain how ABC creates these benefits.
Your team is planning on conducting an analysis of whether ABC would be beneficial to Mr.Beridon. Create a process for conducting this analysis.
Include the following:
- How could you apply the data in the company’s general ledger?
- Determine questions to ask Mr.Beridon.
- Determine other information to gather.
- Explain how this additional information could help you in your analysis?
- Explain how you would decide on a final recommendation.

ACC 349 Week 4 Team Assignment Part 2 (Jeemp Farms)
Mr.Beridon received your requests for information and returned data which you have compiled in an Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet (see document template).
He also said, “We grow sod and trees at Jeemp Farms. We sell the sod mainly to home builders in the area, although we sell to some individuals who are purchasing square footages to re-sod their yard. Many home builders will purchase to sod an entire subdivision.
They then may come back to us to purchase trees for the yards. It really is a package deal. For builders like that, we are a one-stop-shop. In most cases, however, we sell the trees to orchards and some individuals. The purchaser is responsible for all shipping costs related to their product.
“Our production process is different for each product. For sod, we plant the seed, irrigate, cut, and roll the sod and then transport it. For the trees, we plant the root stock, graft the tree, water until a particular maturity and then dig it up and sell it. We inspect the plants as needed to make sure we are producing a quality product that is disease-free.
“We have delayed purchasing some machinery that reduces time for the planting of the trees because it is a large up-front cost and we don’t want to have a huge outlay of cash if our profits keep going down”.
“The grass does not require as much irrigation as the trees, as it is at a lower elevation than the tree acres and is closer to the creek; it gets a lot of the run off”.
“Historically, we have always been able to sell everything we produce. Hopefully, that will continue since Houston is expanding rapidly”.
Compute the product costs for the sod and trees under traditional and ABC costing using the Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet.
Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper analyzingJeemp Farms and what data and information you will consider.
Include the following:
- Describe any factors that could skew your results. In other words, explain if there is one method of costing that could make a product look more favorable than it really is.
- Justify whether Mr.Beridon should cut the sod portion of his company.
- Justify whether Mr.Beridon should cut the tree portion of his company instead.
- Describe other methods of analysis you could use to help you come to a decision.
- Describe any other qualitative or quantitative factors or changes to Mr.Beridon’s business that might be relevant to Jeemp Farms as they make the decision as to whether to use ABC and whether to cut sectors.
- Determine any additional information you would need to have before making a recommendation.
