CONSO Inc. manufactures joint products ALT and TAB, and a by-product DEL. Costs are assigned to the joint products by the net realizable value or final market value method which considers further processing costs in subsequent operations. It is the policy of CONSO Inc. to account for its by-product by market value or reversal cost method or deduction of net realizable value of by-product from the joint manufacturing costs of main products. The total manufacturing costs for 100,000 units were Php 1,520,000.00 during the year. Production and costs data follow: (a)Product Name: ALT, units produced:60,000, sales price per unit: Php 70.00, Further processing cost per unit Php 20.00 (b)Product Name: TAB, units produced:30,000, sales price per unit: Php 25.00, Further processing cost per unit Php 5.00 (C)Product Name: DEL, units produced:10,000, sales price per unit: Php 10.00, Further processing cost per unit Php 30.00, Selling and admin expense per unit, Php 5.00.

Fletcher Fabrication, Inc., produces three products by a joint production process. Raw materials are put into production in Department X, and at the end of processing in this department, three products appear. Product A is sold at the split-off point with no further processing.

Subassembly A is placed in a container and sent to an area called the subassembly stores (SB stores) area. A production Kanban is attached to this container. A second container, also with one subassembly, is located near the assembly line (called the withdrawal store). This container has attached to it a withdrawal Kanban. Required: 1. Explain how withdrawal and production Kanban cards are used to control the work flow between the two processes. How does this approach minimize inventories? 2. Explain how vendor Kanban cards can be used to control the flow of the purchased subassembly. What implications does this have for supplier relationships? What role, if any, do continuous replenishment and EDI play in this process?arrow_forwardBoard-It, Inc., produces the following types of 2 4 10 wood boards: washed, stained, and pressure treated.
