Fordman Company has a product that passes through two processes: Grinding and Polishing. During December, the Grinding Department transferred 20,000 units to the Polishing Department. The cost of the units transferred into the second department was 40,000. Direct materials are added uniformly in the second process. Units are measured the same way in both departments. The second department (Polishing) had the following physical flow schedule for December: Costs in beginning work in process for the Polishing Department were direct materials, 5,000; conversion costs, 6,000; and transferred in, 8,000. Costs added during the month: direct materials, 32,000; conversion costs, 50,000; and transferred in, 40,000. Required: 1. Assuming the use of the weighted average method, prepare a schedule of equivalent units. 2. Compute the unit cost for the month.

(Round unit costs to three decimal places.)
The Lubbock plant of Morrils Small Motor Division produces a major subassembly for a 6.0 horsepower motor for lawnmowers. The plant uses a standard costing system for production costing and control. The standard cost sheet for the subassembly follows: During the year, the Lubbock plant had the following actual production activity: a. Production of subassemblies totaled 50,000 units. b. A total of 260,000 pounds of raw materials was purchased at 4.70 per pound. c. There were 60,000 pounds of raw materials in beginning inventory (carried at 5 per lb.) There was no ending inventory. d. The company used 82,000 direct labor hours at a total cost of 1,066,000. The Lubbock plants practical activity is 60,000 units per year. Standard overhead rates are computed based on practical activity measured in standard direct labor hours. Required: 1. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Compute the materials price and usage variances.

CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Assume that the purchasing agent for the small motors plant purchased a lower-quality raw material from a new supplier. Would you recommend that the plant continue to use this cheaper raw material? If so, what standards would likely need revision to reflect this decision? Assume that the end products quality is not significantly affected. 4. Prepare all possible journal entries.
Larkin Company produces leather strips for western belts using three processes: cutting, design and coloring, and punching. The weighted average method is used for all three departments.

Units completed and transferred out: 330,000 strips. The following costs were added during the month: a. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. b. Inspection takes place at the end of the process. All spoilage is considered normal. Required: 1. Calculate equivalent units of production for transferred-in materials, direct materials added, and conversion costs. 2. Calculate unit costs for the three categories of Requirement 1. 3. What is the total cost of units transferred out? What is the cost of ending work-in-process inventory? How is the cost of spoilage treated? 4. Assume that all spoilage is considered abnormal. Now, how is spoilage treated? Give the journal entry to account for the cost of the spoiled units. Some companies view all spoilage as abnormal. Explain why. 5. Assume that 80 percent of the units spoiled are abnormal and 20 percent are normal spoilage. Show the spoilage treatment for this scenario.
