- AAA Appliances Inc. has two production departments. The nature of the process is such that no units remain in process in Finishing at the end of the period. At the beginning of the period, 10,000 units with a cost of 30,000 were transferred from Assembly to Finishing. Finishing incurred costs of 8,800 for materials, 7,200 for labor, and 8,800 for factory overhead, and finished 10,000 units during the month. Using the data in E5-9, prepare a statement of cost of goods manufactured for the month ended January 31, 2016, assuming that no further work was done in Assembly during January.arrow_forwardDuring the month of June, the mixing department produced and transferred out 3,500 units. Ending work in process had 1,000 units, 40 percent complete with respect to conversion costs. There was no beginning work in process. The equivalent units of output for conversion costs for the month of June are: a. 3,500 b. 4,500 c. 3,900 d. 1,000arrow_forwardAlgers Company produces dry fertilizer.

- Cozy, Inc., manufactures small and large blankets. It estimates $350,000 in overhead during the manufacturing of 75,000 small blankets and 25,000 large blankets. What is the predetermined overhead rate if a small blanket takes 1 machine hour and a large blanket takes 2 machine hours?arrow_forwardBaxter Company has two processing departments: Assembly and Finishing. A predetermined overhead rate of 10 per DLH is used to assign overhead to production. The company experienced the following operating activity for April: a. Materials issued to Assembly, 24,000 b. Direct labor cost: Assembly, 500 hours at 9.20 per hour; Finishing, 400 hours at 8 per hour c. Overhead applied to production d. Goods transferred to Finishing, 32,500 e. Goods transferred to finished goods warehouse, 20,500 f. Actual overhead incurred, 10,000 Required: 1. Prepare the required journal entries for the preceding transactions. 2. Assuming Assembly and Finishing have no beginning work-in-process inventories, determine the cost of each departments ending work-in-process inventories.arrow_forwardMimasca Inc. manufactures various holiday masks. Each mask is shaped from a piece of rubber in the molding department. The masks are then transferred to the finishing department, where they are painted and have elastic bands attached. Mimasca uses the weighted average method. In May, the molding department reported the following data: a. BWIP consisted of 15.000 units, 20% complete. Cost in beginning inventor) totaled 1,656. b. Costs added to production during the month were 26,094. c. At the end of the month, 45.000 units were transferred out to finishing. Then, 5,000 units remained in EWIP, 25% complete. Required: 1. Prepare a physical flow schedule. 2. Calculate equivalent units of production. 3. Compute unit cost. 4. Calculate the cost of goods transferred to finishing at the end of the month. Calculate the cost of ending inventor). 5. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Assume that the masks are inspected at the end of the molding process. Of the 45,000 units inspected, 2,500 are rejected as faulty and are discarded. Thus, only 42,500 units are transferred to the finishing department. The manager of Mimasca considers all such spoilage as abnormal and does not want to assign any of this cost to the 42.500 good units produced and transferred to finishing. Your task is to determine the cost of this spoilage of 2,500 units and then to discuss how you would account for this spoilage cost. Now suppose that the manager feels that this spoilage cost is just part of the cost of producing the good units transferred out. Therefore, he wants to assign this cost to the good production. Explain how this would be handled. (Hint: Spoiled units are a type of output, and equivalent units of spoilage can be calculated.)arrow_forward

The activity cost associated with Part XX-10 is as follows: Activity Activity-Base Usage Activity Rate = Activity Cost Fabrication 250 dlh 80per dlh 20,000 Setup 10 setups 80 per setup 800 Production control 10 prod, runs 30 per prod, run 300 Moving 10 moves 25 per move 250 Total activity cost per unit 21,350 Estimated units of production 500 Activity cost per unit 42.70 Each unit requires 30 minutes of fabrication direct labor. Moreover, part XX-10 is manufactured in production run sizes of 50 units. Each production run is set up, scheduled (production control), and moved as a batch of 50 units. Management is considering improvements in the setup, production control, and moving activities in order to cut the production run sizes by half. As a result, the number of setups, production runs, and mows will double from 10 to 20. Such improvements are expected to speed the companys ability to respond to customer orders. Setup is reengineered so that it takes 60% of the original cost per setup. Production control software will allow production control effort and cost per production run to decline by 60%. Moving distance was reduced by 40%, thus reducing the cost per mow by the same amount. A. Determine the revised activity cost per unit under the proposed changes. B. Did these improvements reduce the activity cost per unit? C. What cost per unit for setup would be required for the solution in (A) to equal the base solution?arrow_forwardA company manufactures a liquid product called Crystal. The basic ingredients are put into process in Department 1. In Department 2, other materials are added that increase the number of units being processed by 50%. The factory has only two departments.
