Chapter 17, Problem 17.33E
Operation costing. Egyptian Spa produces two different spa products: Relax and Refresh. The company uses three operations to manufacture the products: mixing, blending, and packaging. Because of the materials used, Relax is produced in powder form in the mixing department, then transferred to the blending department, and finally on to packaging. Refresh undergoes no mixing; it is produced in liquid form in the blending department and then transferred to packaging.
Egyptian Spa applies conversion costs based on labor-hours in the mixing department. It takes 3 minutes to mix the ingredients for a container of Relax. Conversion costs are applied based on the number of containers in the blending departments and on the basis of machine-hours in the packaging department. It takes 0.5 minutes of machine time to fill a container, regardless of the product.
The budgeted number of containers and expected direct materials cost for each product are as follows:
| Relax | Refresh | |
| Number of containers | 24,000 | 18,000 |
| Direct materials cost | $17,160 | $13,140 |
The budgeted conversion costs for each department for May are as follows:
| Department | Allocation of Conversion Costs | Budgeted Conversion Cost |
| Mixing | Direct labor-hours | $11,760 |
| Blending | Number of containers | $20,160 |
| Packaging | Machine-hours | $ 2,800 |
- 1. Calculate the conversion cost rates for each department.
- 2. Calculate the budgeted cost of goods manufactured for Relax and Refresh for the month of May.
- 3. Calculate the cost per container for each product for the month of May.

Carrie’s Limited has two departments, the assembly department and the testing department in its brake-pad manufacturing plant, where each brake-pad is conveyed through each department.
Carrie’s process-costing system consist of two cost categories: Single direct cost (direct materials) and a single indirect-cost category (conversion costs).
Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are added evenly during the process. When the assembly department finishes work on each brake-pad, it is immediately transferred to testing. Carrie’s uses the weighted-average method of process costing.
Data for the assembly department for October 2019 are as follows: Physical Units (Brake Pads) Direct Materials Conversion CostsWork in process, October 1x 6,000 $1,200,000 $ 400,750Started during October 2019 21,000Completed during October 2019 23,500Work in process, October 31y 3,500Total costs added during October 2019 $4,600,000 $2,456,500x Degree of completion: direct…

- Healthway uses a process-costing system to compute the unit costs of the minerals that it produces. It has three departments: Mixing, Tableting, and Bottling. In Mixing, at the beginning of the process all materials are added and the ingredients for the minerals are measured, sifted, and blended together. The mix is transferred out in gallon containers. The Tableting Department takes the powdered mix and places it in capsules. One gallon of powdered mix converts to 1,600 capsules. After the capsules are filled and polished, they are transferred to Bottling where they are placed in bottles, which are then affixed with a safety seal and a lid and labeled. Each bottle receives 50 capsules. During July, the following results are available for the first two departments (direct materials are added at the beginning in both departments): Overhead in both departments is applied as a percentage of direct labor costs. In the Mixing Department, overhead is 200 percent of direct labor. In the Tableting Department, the overhead rate is 150 percent of direct labor. Required: 1. Prepare a production report for the Mixing Department using the weighted average method. Follow the five steps outlined in the chapter. Round unit cost to three decimal places. 2. Prepare a production report for the Tableting Department. Materials are added at the beginning of the process. Follow the five steps outlined in the chapter. Round unit cost to four decimal places.arrow_forwardAnalyzing process cost elements across product types Mystic Bottling Company bottles popular beverages in the Bottling Department. The beverages are produced by blending concentrate with water and sugar. The concentrate is purchased from a concentrate producer. The concentrate producer sets higher prices for the more popular concentrate flavors. A simplified Bottling Department cost of production report separating the cost of bottling the four flavors follows: Beginning and ending work in process inventories are negligible, so they are omitted from the cost of production report. The flavor changeover cost represents the cost of cleaning the bottling machines between production runs of different flavors. A production ran of a new flavor is produced after a flavor changeover from the previous flavor. Higher-demand flavors are produced in larger production runs, while smaller-demand flavors are produced in smaller production runs. Prepare a memo to the production manager, analyzing this comparative cost information. In your memo, provide recommendations for further action, along with supporting schedules showing the total cost per case and cost per case by cost element. Round supporting calculations to the nearest cent.arrow_forwardProduction-Based Costing versus Activity-Based Costing, Assigning Costs to Activities, Resource Drivers Willow Company produces lawnmowers. One of its plants produces two versions of mowers: a basic model and a deluxe model. The deluxe model has a sturdier frame, a higher horsepower engine, a wider blade, and mulching capability. At the beginning of the year, the following data were prepared for this plant: Additionally, the following overhead activity costs are reported: Facility-level costs are allocated in proportion to machine hours (provides a measure of time the facility is used by each product). Receiving and materials handling use three inputs: two forklifts, gasoline to operate the forklift, and three operators. The three operators are paid a salary of 40,000 each. The operators spend 25% of their time on the receiving activity and 75% on moving goods (materials handling). Gasoline costs 3 per move. Depreciation amounts to 8,000 per forklift per year. Required: (Note: Round answers to two decimal places.) 1. Calculate the cost of the materials handling activity. Label the cost assignments as driver tracing or direct tracing. Identify the resource drivers. 2. Calculate the cost per unit for each product by using direct labor hours to assign all overhead costs. 3. Calculate activity rates, and assign costs to each product. Calculate a unit cost for each product, and compare these costs with those calculated in Requirement 2. 4. Calculate consumption ratios for each activity. 5. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Explain how the consumption ratios calculated in Requirement 4 can be used to reduce the number of rates. Calculate the rates that would apply under this approach.arrow_forward
- Reducir, Inc., produces two different types of hydraulic cylinders. Reducir produces a major subassembly for the cylinders in the Cutting and Welding Department. Other parts and the subassembly are then assembled in the Assembly Department. The activities, expected costs, and drivers associated with these two manufacturing processes are given below. Note: In the assembly process, the materials-handling activity is a function of product characteristics rather than batch activity. Other overhead activities, their costs, and drivers are listed below. Other production information concerning the two hydraulic cylinders is also provided: Required: 1. Using a plantwide rate based on machine hours, calculate the total overhead cost assigned to each product and the unit overhead cost. 2. Using activity rates, calculate the total overhead cost assigned to each product and the unit overhead cost. Comment on the accuracy of the plantwide rate. 3. Calculate the global consumption ratios. 4. Calculate the consumption ratios for welding and materials handling (Assembly) and show that two drivers, welding hours and number of parts, can be used to achieve the same ABC product costs calculated in Requirement 2. Explain the value of this simplification. 5. Calculate the consumption ratios for inspection and engineering, and show that the drivers for these two activities also duplicate the ABC product costs calculated in Requirement 2.arrow_forwardMt. Palomar Manufacturing Co. uses a process cost system. Its manufacturing operation is carried on in two departments: Machining and Finishing. The Machining Department uses the weighted average cost method, and the Finishing Department uses the FIFO cost method. Materials are added in both departments at the beginning of operations, but the added materials do not increase the number of units being processed. Units are lost in the Machining Department throughout the production process, and inspection occurs at the end of the process. The lost units have no scrap value and are considered to be a normal loss. Production statistics for July show the following data: Required: Prepare a cost of production summary for each department. (Round unit costs to three decimal places.) Which department will have an easier time determining how its unit costs compare from month to month?

- Activity-based product costing Sweet Sugar Company manufactures three products (white sugar, brown sugar, and powdered sugar) in a continuous production process. Senior management has asked the controller to conduct an activity-based costing study. The controller identified the amount of factory overhead required by the critical activities of the organization as follows: The activity bases identified for each activity are as follows: The activity-base usage quantities and units produced for the three products were determined from corporate records and are as follows: Each product requires 0.5 machine hour per unit. Instructions Determine the activity rate for each activity. Determine the total and per-unit activity cost for all three products. Round to nearest cent. Why arent the activity unit costs equal across all three products since they require the same machine time per unit?arrow_forwardProcess activity analysis The Brite Beverage Company bottles soft drinks into aluminum cans. The manufacturing process consists of three activities: 1. Mixing: water, sugar, and beverage concentrate are mixed. 2. Filling: mixed beverage is filled into 12-oz. cans. 3. Packaging: properly filled cans are boxed into cardboard fridge packs. The activity costs associated with these activities for the period are as follows: The activity costs do not include materials costs, which are ignored for this analysis. Each can is expected to contain 12 ounces of beverage. Thus, after being filled, each can is automatically weighed. If a can is too light, it is rejected, or kicked, from the filling line prior to being packaged. The primary cause of kicks is heat expansion. With heat expansion, the beverage overflows during filling, resulting in underweight cans. This process begins by mixing and filling 6,300,000 cans during the period, of which only 6,000,000 cans are actually packaged. Three hundred thousand cans are rejected due to underweight kicks. A process improvement team has determined that cooling the cans prior to filling them will reduce the amount of overflows due to expansion. After this improvement, the number of kicks is expected to decline from 300,000 cans to 63,000 cans, thus increasing the number of filled cans to 6,237,000 [6,000,000 + (300,000 63,000)]. A. Determine the total activity cost per packaged can under present operations. B. Determine the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements. C. Determine the expected total activity cost per packaged can after improvements.
