Our company ma average. Separate direct materials and conversion costs, Chemical X is comprised of two liquids, Liquid A and Liquid B. The formula of Chemical Xis 60% Liquid A, 40% Liquid B. 70% of the mixed liquid is added at the beginning of the process: 30% added at the very end. The average cost of the raw materials is $35 per gallon. At the beginning of the month, there was 1,500 gallons in process, 40% through the process (as to conversion costs). The total costs in beginning WIP is $36,750 for materials and $97,440 for conversion costs. During the month, 15,000 gallons were started. Conversion costs were $455,400 for the month. Compute direct material costs (hint use DM EUP under FIFO). At the end of the month, there were 1,200 gallons in process, 80% through the process. Answer each question separately. DO NOT just complete a table - this will result in a zero! a. How many units were started AND completed? Completed? b. Using FIFO, calculate equivalent units produced C. What is the cost of the material added? (hint: use b.). d. Using FIFO, calculate the cost per equivalent unit produced. e. Using FIFO, what is the journal entry for the transferred to finished goods?

Remarkable Enterprises requires four units of part A for every unit of Al that it produces. Currently, part A is made by Remarkable, with these per-unit costs in a month when 4,000 units were produced: Variable manufacturing overhead is applied at $1.60 per unit. The other $0.50 of overhead consists of allocated fixed costs. Remarkable will need 8,000 units of part A for the next years production. Altoona Corporation has offered to supply 8,000 units of part A at a price of $8.00 per unit. If Remarkable accepts the offer, all of the variable costs and $2,000 of the fixed costs will be avoided. Should Remarkable accept the offer from Altoona Corporation?

Box Springs, Inc., makes two sizes of box springs: twin and double. The direct material for the twin is $25 per unit and $40 s used in direct labor, while the direct material for the double is $40 per unit, and the labor cost is $50 per unit. Box Springs estimates it will make 5,000 twins and 9,000 doubles in the next year. It estimates the overhead for each cost pool and cost driver activities as follows: How much does each unit cost to manufacture?
