Company Letter

• The Rum Cookie Company
• Our company was created to produce an elegantly
  tasteful cookie for the well accomplished
  individual. Our goal is for our cookie to be the
  finest desert cookie available in the Pacific
  Northwest.
• Our chocolate rum cookie is meant to top off a
  night of fine dining in any country club or 4 to
  5 star restaurant. It compliments any cocktail or
  glass of wine. The soft, moist, chocolate
  sensation in your mouth will leave you completely
  satisfied.
• You will have no problem spending that extra
  dollar to enjoy this magnificent treat since it
  can only be found on the menus of places such as
  The Metropolitan Grill, Sahalee Country Club, or
  a Nordstroms Café.
• The cookie is full of chocolate yet with a rum,
  cocoa, coffee, brown sugar, and kahlua topping
  that delightfully tones down the richness and
  gives it its signature flavor. And to top it off,
  it is dusted with powdered sugar to make your
  mouth water before the cookie even reaches your
  mouth.
• All of you successful adults will fall in love
  with this fabulous desert. Cakes, pie, crème
  brulee will never satisfy your sweet tooth again.

F. A. Q.

• What should the denominator be for the cost per
  cookie calculation?
• The Denominator for the cost per cookie should
  be the total number of cookies made.
• What measures would your group use to effectively
  evaluate production performance?
• We need to measure the quality of the cookie
  versus the time and cost involved.
• What measures were unnecessary? Why?
• The measure of size was unnecessary because the
  cookies were almost impossible to measure evenly
  and that was time consuming.
• Evaluate the 2 overhead rate for reasonableness.
• We feel the overhead rate was unreasonable since
  our recipe included expensive direct materials
  that most recipes didnt include. By doubling our
  direct materials we will have over-applied our
  overhead since the cost of the direct materials
  is not proportional to the cost of the overhead.
• What is your groups consensus on disposing of
  you overhead variance?
• Our group will dispose of the overhead variance
  by crediting the Cost of Goods Sold account.
