Chapter 2, Problem 16P
Lloyd Industries manufactures electrical equipment from specifications received from customers. Job X10 was for 1,000 motors to be used in a specially designed electrical complex. The following costs were determined for each motor:
At final inspection, Lloyd discovered that 33 motors did not meet the exacting specifications established by the customer. An examination indicated that 18 motors were beyond repair and should be sold as spoiled goods for $75 each. The remaining 15 motors, though defective, could be reconditioned as first-quality units by the addition of $1,650 for materials, $1,500 for labor, and $1,200 for factory overhead.
Required:
Prepare the
- 1. The scrapping of the 18 motors, with the income from spoiled goods treated as a reduction in the
manufacturing cost of the specific job. - 2. The correction of the 15 defective motors, with the additional cost charged to the specific job.
- 3. The additional cost of replacing the 18 spoiled motors with new motors.
- 4. The sale of the spoiled motors for $75 each.
- 5. If the reconditioned motors sell for $400 each, is Lloyd better off reconditioning the defective motors or selling them as is for $75 as spoiled goods?

Philantro Metal Shop, manufactures metal products that require casting, such as engine blocks, pistons and engine housings. During the current year, an order of 30,000 custom housing was begun on job number 202 for Mr. A. After the job was completed, the housing was inspected and 4% of the units were determined to be defective. Mr. A agreed to accept the good units only at 140% of cost. The spoiled units can be sold as seconds for P15 each. Spoiled goods are kept in an inventory account separate from finished goods. Total costs charged to job #202 are: Materials - P276,000; Labor (6,000hrs @ P14 per hour) is P84,000 and factory overhead (P30 per labor hours) is P180,000. If the spoilage is attributable to Job 202 only, what is the unit selling price of the good units?
Pharoah Corp. received an order for 25 automatic mixing machines. Because of the order's exacting specifications, it is anticipated that defective and spoiled work will exceed the normal rate. The materials cost per unit is P80; labor cost, P194; and manufacturing overhead for this order is to be applied at 100% of the labor cost. During production, 5 units were found to be defective and required the following total additional costs: materials, P97, labor, P125, and manufacturing overhead at the 100% rate. On final inspection, 2 units were classified as seconds and sold for P400 each, the proceeds being credited to the order. The purchaser has agreed to accept the 23 machines, although the acceptable units are fewer than the number ordered. What is the unit cost of the completed units?
Big Company manufactures electric drills to the exact specifications of various customers. During April 2020, Job 403 for the production of 1,100 units was completed at the following costs per unit:

The cost of each Slam consists of: Job 100 produced 100 Slams, of which six were spoiled and classified as seconds. Seconds are sold to discount stores for 50 each. Required: 1. Under the assumption that the loss from spoilage will be distributed to all jobs produced during the current period, use general journal entries to (a) record the costs of production, (b) put spoiled goods into inventory, and (c) record the cash sale of spoiled units. 2. Under the assumption that the loss due to spoilage will be charged to Job 100, use general journal entries to (a) record the costs of production, (b) put spoiled goods into inventory, and (c) record the cash sale of spoiled units.arrow_forwardWalloon Company produced 150 defective units last month at a unit manufacturing cost of 30.

Currently, the company has 4,600 partially completed Z Best models on hand. The government has put a recall on a particular part in the Z Best model, so each base model must now be reworked to accommodate the style of the new part. The company has spent $110 per unit to manufacture these Z Best models to their current state. Reworking each Z Best model will cost $22 for materials and $25 for direct labor. In addition, $9 of variable overhead and $34 of allocated fixed overhead (relating primarily to depreciation of plant and equipment) will be allocated per unit. If ZZOOM completes the Z Best models, it can sell them for $180 per unit. On the other hand, another manufacturer is interested in purchasing the partially completed units for $105 each and converting them into Z Plus models. Prepare a differential analysis per unit to determine if ZZOOM should complete the Z Best models or sell them in their current state.arrow_forward

Materials charged to a particular jobamounted to 600. At the point of final inspection, it was discoveredthat the material used was inferior to the specifications required bythe engineering department; therefore, all units had to be scrapped. Record the entries required for scrap under each of the following conditions: a. The revenue received for scrap is to be treated as a reductionin manufacturing cost but cannot be identified with a specificjob. The value of stainless steel scrap is stable and estimatedto be 125 for this job. The scrap is sold two months later forcash at the estimated value of 125. b. Revenue received for scrap is to be treated as a reduction inmanufacturing cost but cannot be identified with a specificjob. A firm price is not determinable for the scrap until it issold. It is sold eventually for 75 cash. c. The production job is a special job, and the 85 received onaccount for the scrap is to be treated as a reduction inmanufacturing cost. (A firm price is not determinable for thescrap until it is sold.) d. Only 40 cash was received for the scrap when it was sold inthe following fiscal period.

Otero has been in business since 1985 and has been profitable every year since 1993. The company uses a standard cost system and applies overhead on the basis of direct labor hours. Otero has recently received a request to bid on the manufacture of 800,000 blankets scheduled for delivery to several military bases. The bid must be stated at full cost per unit plus a return on full cost of no more than 10 percent after income taxes. Full cost has been defined as including all variable costs of manufacturing the product, a reasonable amount of fixed overhead, and reasonable incremental administrative costs associated with the manufacture and sale of the product. The contractor has indicated that bids in excess of 30 per blanket are not likely to be considered. In order to prepare the bid for the 800,000 blankets, Andrea Lightner, cost accountant, has gathered the following information about the costs associated with the production of the blankets. Direct machine costs consist of items such as special lubricants, replacement of needles used in stitching, and maintenance costs. These costs are not included in the normal overhead rates. Otero recently developed a new blanket fiber at a cost of 750,000. In an effort to recover this cost, Otero has instituted a policy of adding a 0.50 fee to the cost of each blanket using the new fiber. To date, the company has recovered 125,000. Lightner knows that this fee does not fit within the definition of full cost, as it is not a cost of manufacturing the product. Required: 1. Calculate the minimum price per blanket that Otero Fibers could bid without reducing the companys operating income. 2. Using the full-cost criteria and the maximum allowable return specified, calculate Otero Fibers bid price per blanket. 3. Without prejudice to your answer to Requirement 2, assume that the price per blanket that Otero Fibers calculated using the cost-plus criteria specified is greater than the maximum bid of 30 per blanket allowed. Discuss the factors that Otero Fibers should consider before deciding whether or not to submit a bid at the maximum acceptable price of 30 per blanket. (CMA adapted)arrow_forward
