Estimated processing cost after separation is P0.30 per unit and estimated selling expenses is 10% of the sales price. The estimated profit margin is 5% of the sales price.

- The problem statement here is that in recent months, the cost accounting reports have been somewhat disturbing to management. It seems that some of the finished products are costing more than they should, even to the point of approaching their retail value. It has been noted by the accounting manager that this problem began when the company started buying ore from different parts of the world, some of which require difficult extraction methods. Explain how the company might change its accounting system to reflect the reporting problems better.arrow_forwardPLEASE I NEED FROM THE COGM SCHEDULE: BEGGINING WORK IN PROCESS INVENTORY TOTAL MANUFACTURING COSTST O ACCOUNT FOR AND COST OF GOODS MANUFACTURED I just asked this question a while ago and Idk from where they took a different data to sole the problem. please check the data before giving back an answer because it seem that the prevoius person took the answers from a similar problem without checking if the info matches with the question that I am aking for. Thank youarrow_forwardA reason why absorption costing income statements are sometimes difficult to interpret is that: Multiple Choice they omit variable expenses entirely in computing net operating income. they shift portions of fixed manufacturing overhead from period to period according to changing levels of inventories. they include all fixed manufacturing overhead on the income statement each year as a period cost. they ignore inventory levels in determining cost of goods sold.arrow_forward
