Transferred-in costs, FIFO method (continuation of 17-39). Refer to the information in Problem 17-39. Suppose that Hoffman Company uses the FIFO method instead of the weighted-average method in all of its departments. The only changes to Problem 17-39 under the FIFO method are that total transferred-in costs of beginning work in process on October 1 are $2,879,000 (instead of $2,931,000) and that total transferred-in costs added during October are $9,048,000 (instead of $8,094,000).
Using the FIFO process-costing method, complete Problem 17-39.
17-39 Transferred-in costs, weighted-average method (related to 17-36 to 17-38). Hoffman Company, as you know, is a manufacturer of car seats. Each car seat passes through the assembly department and testing department. This problem focuses on the testing department. Direct materials are added when the testing department process is 90% complete. Conversion costs are added evenly during the testing department’s process. As work in assembly is completed, each unit is immediately transferred to testing. As each unit is completed in testing, it is immediately transferred to Finished Goods.
Hoffman Company uses the weighted-average method of
a Degree of completion: transferred-in costs, ?%; direct materials, ?%; conversion costs, 65%.
b Degree of completion: transferred-in costs, ?%; direct materials, ?%; conversion costs, 45%.
- 1. What is the percentage of completion for (a) transferred-in costs and direct materials in beginning work-in-process inventory and (b) transferred-in costs and direct materials in ending work-in-process inventory?
- 2. For each cost category, compute equivalent units in the testing department. Show physical units in the first column of your schedule.
- 3. For each cost category, summarize total testing department costs for October 2017, calculate the cost per equivalent unit, and assign costs to units completed (and transferred out) and to units in ending work in process.
- 4. Prepare
journal entries for October transfers from the assembly department to the testing department and from the testing department to Finished Goods.

- Ripley, Inc., costs products using a normal costing system. The following data are available for last year: Overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor hours. Required: 1. What was the predetermined overhead rate? 2. What was the applied overhead for last year? 3. Was overhead over- or underapplied, and by how much? 4. What was the total cost per unit produced (carry your answer to four significant digits)?arrow_forwardHakara Company has been using direct labor costs as the basis for assigning overhead to its many products. Under this allocation system, product A has been assigned overhead of $26.87 per unit, while product B has been assigned $7.62 per unit. Management feels that an ABC system will provide a more accurate allocation of the overhead costs and has collected the following cost pool and cost driver information: Cost Pools Activity Costs $ 415,000 120,000 44,000 The following cost information pertains to the production of A and B, just two of Hakara's many products: Machine setup Materials handling Electric power Number of units produced Direct materials cost Direct labor cost Number of setup hours Pounds of materials used Kilowatt-hours Product A Product B A 5,000 $ 22,000 $ 39,000 Cost per Unit Cost Drivers Setup hours Pounds of materials Kilowatt-hours 200 2,000 4,000 B 20,000 $ 26,000 $ 37,000 Activity Driver Consumption 5,000 15,000 22,000 200 2,000 4,000 Required: 1.

Direct labor $ 3.80 Direct materials 4.80 Variable overhead 5.80 Total variable cost 14.40 8.60 Fixed overhead ($86,000/10,000 units) Total product cost per unit $23.00 The company sells its product for $75.20 per unit. Due to new regulations, the company must now incur $3.80 per unit of hazardous waste disposal costs and $4,630 per year of fixed hazardous waste disposal costs. Compute the company's break-even point (in units), including hazardous waste disposal costs. Break-even point 1,486 unitsarrow_forward

Calculation of cost per equivalent units in ( converstion) beginning Work in the process should it be 654,800 instead of 327,400 becuase converstion costs = direct labor + overhead and in this case it would be 327,400 + 100% * 327,400 = 654,800? and Cost incurred during the period for conversation cost = Direct labor cost + overhead cost = 7,207,400 + (100% * 7,207,400) = 14,414,800? -Second question is 5. Calculation of Cost of units Completed and Transferred out (Finished Goods) for December 31, 20x1, should it we use Equivalent Units (A) 1,134,000 units instead of 2,700,000 becuase we are preparing a schedule of December 31?arrow_forwardMANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING (ABSORPTION COSTING AND VARIABLE COSTING) Bestman Co. had an opening stock of 13,200 units and a closing stock of 28,200 units in a period.
