- 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 followingcosts were determined for each motor: At final inspection, Lloyd discovered that 33 motors did not meet the exacting specifications established by the customer. Anexamination indicated that 18 motors were beyond repair andshould be sold as spoiled goods for 75 each. The remaining15 motors, though defective, could be reconditioned as first-qualityunits by the addition of 1,650 for materials, 1,500 for labor, and1,200 for factory overhead. Required: Prepare the journal entries to record the following: 1. The scrapping of the 18 motors, with the income from spoiledgoods treated as a reduction in the manufacturing cost of thespecific job. 2. The correction of the 15 defective motors, with the additionalcost charged to the specific job. 3. The additional cost of replacing the 18 spoiled motors with newmotors. 4. The sale of the spoiled motors for 75 each. 5. If the reconditioned motors sell for 400 each, is Lloyd betteroff reconditioning the defective motors or selling them as isfor 75 as spoiled goods?arrow_forwardA machine shop manufactures a stainless steel part that is used in an assembled product. 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. (A firm price is not determinablefor the scrap until it is sold, and the amount to be received forthe scrap is to be treated as other income.)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? Why?arrow_forward
- CleanCom Company specializes in cleaning commercial buildings and construction sites. Each building and site is different, requiring amounts and types of supplies and labor for each job. CleanCom estimated the following for the year: During the year, the following actual amounts were experienced: If CleanCom uses a normal costing system and overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor hours, what is the cost of cleaning a construction site that takes 140 of direct materials and 21 direct labor hours? a. 455 b. 508 c. 648 d. 644arrow_forwardHepworth Communications produces cell phones. One of the four major electronic components is produced internally. The other three components are purchased from external suppliers. The electronic components and other parts are assembled (by the Assembly Department) and then tested (by the Testing Department). Any units that fail the test are sent to the Rework Department where the unit is taken apart and the failed component is replaced. Data from the Testing Department reveal that the internally produced component (made by the Component Department) is the most frequent cause of product failure. One out of every 50 phones fails because of a faulty internally produced component. Barry Norton is the manager of the Component Department. In a recent performance evaluation, the plant manager told Barry that he needed to be more sensitive to the needs of the departments customers. This charge puzzled Barry somewhatafter all, the component is not sold to anyone but is used in producing the plants cell phones. Required: 1. Who are Barrys customers? 2. Explain the plant managers charge to Barry to be more sensitive to his customers. Explain also how this increased sensitivity could improve the companys time-based competitive ability. 3. What role would cost management play in helping Barry be more sensitive to his customers?arrow_forwardOne of the tennis rackets that Ace Sporting Goods manufactures is a titanium model (Slam) that sells for 149. 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_forward

Activity-based product information for each treadmill is as follows: All of the activity costs are related to labor. Management must remove 2.00 of activity cost from the product in order to remain competitive. Rework involves disassembling and repairing a unit that fails testing. Not all units require rework, but the average is 0.40 hour per unit. Presently, the testing is done on the completed assembly; but much of the rework has been related to motors, which can be tested independently prior to adding the motor to the treadmill during final assembly. Thus, motor issues can be diagnosed and solved without having to disassemble the complete treadmill. This change will reduce the average rework per unit by one-quarter. a.Determine the new activity cost per unit under the rework improvement scenario. b.If management had the choice of doing the rework improvement in (a) or cutting the moving activity in half by improving the product flow, which decision should be implemented? Why?arrow_forwardMartin Company received an order for 25 automatic mixing machines.
