Chapter 5, Problem 5.6SE
Compute equivalent units (
The Frying Department of Ripple Chips had 110,000 partially completed units in work in process at the end of July. All of the direct materials had been added to these units, but the units were only 70% of the way through the conversion process. In addition, 1,050,000 units had been completed and transferred out of the Frying Department to the Packaging Department during the month.
- 1. How many equivalent units of direct materials and equivalent units of conversion costs are associated with the 1,050,000 units completed and transferred out?
- 2. Compute the equivalent units of direct materials and the equivalent units of conversion costs associated with the 110,000 partially completed units still in ending work in process.
- 3. What are the total equivalent units of direct materials and the total equivalent units of conversion costs for the month?

The cutting department of Legacy Production Company started 40,000 units of specialized chairs during the month of March. The department incurred $15,000 in direct material costs; 2,500 direct labor hours paid at $10 per hour; and manufacturing overhead applied at 150% of direct labor cost. Legacy Production Company uses process costing to accumulate costs. NOTE: There was no beginning inventory in March.
Required (Excel Template downloadProvided): (Module Learning Outcomes LO5.1 through LO5.5 AND Course Learning Outcome #1 & #2)
Calculate the conversion costs incurred during the month of March (show your calculations).

- Harriman Industries manufactures engines for the aerospace industry. It has completed manufacturing the first unit of the new ZX-9 engine design. Management believes that the 1,000 labor hours required to complete this unit are reasonable and is prepared to go forward with the manufacture of additional units. An 80 percent cumulative average-time learning curve model for direct labor hours is assumed to be valid. Data on costs are as follows: Required: 1. Set up a table with columns for cumulative number of units, cumulative average time per unit in hours, and the cumulative total time in hours. Complete the table for 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 units. (Round hours to one significant digit.) 2. What are the total variable costs of producing 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 units?

- Assume that at the beginning of 20x2, Cicleta trained the 2 assembly workers in a new approach that had the objective of increasing the efficiency of the assembly process. Cicleta also began moving toward a JIT purchasing and manufacturing system. When JIT is fully implemented, the demand for expediting is expected to be virtually eliminated. It is expected to take two to three years for full implementation. Assume that receiving cost is a step-fixed cost with steps of 1,500 orders. The other three activities employ resources that are acquired as used and needed. At the end of 20x2, the following results were reported for the four activities: Required: 1. Prepare a trend report that shows the non-value-added costs for each activity for 20x1 and 20x2 and the change in costs for the two periods. Discuss the reports implications. 2. Explain the role of activity reduction for receiving and for expediting. What is the expected value of SQ for each activity after JIT is fully implemented? 3. What if at the end of 20x2, the selling price of a competing product is reduced by 27 per unit? Assume that the firm produces and sells 20,000 units of its product and that its product is associated only with the four activities being considered. By virtue of the waste-reduction savings, can the competitors price reduction be matched without reducing the unit profit margin of the product that prevailed at the beginning of the year? If not, how much more waste reduction is needed to achieve this outcome? In this case, what price decision would you recommend?arrow_forwardShorts Manufacturing, Inc., has implemented lean manufacturing in its Kansas City plant as a pilot program. One of its value streams produces a family of small electric tools. The value-stream team managers were quite excited about the results, as some of their efforts to eliminate waste were proving to be effective. During the most recent three weeks, the following data pertaining to the electric tool value stream were collected: Week 1: Demand = 90 units @ 40 Beginning inventory = 10 units @ 20 (5 materials and 15 conversion) Production = 90 units using 450 of material and 1,350 of conversion cost Week 2: Demand = 100 units @ 40 Beginning inventory = 10 units @ 20 (5 materials and 15 conversion) Production = 90 units using 450 of material and 1,350 of conversion cost Week 3: Demand = 90 units @ 40 Beginning inventory = 0 Production = 100 units using 500 of material and 1,500 of conversion cost Required: 1. Prepare a traditional income statement for each week. 2. Calculate the average value-stream product cost for each week. What does this cost signal, if anything? 3. Prepare a value-stream income statement for each week. Assume that any increase in inventory is valued at average cost. Comment on the financial performance of the value stream and its relationship to traditional income measurement.arrow_forwardFordman Company has a product that passes through two processes: Grinding and Polishing. During December, the Grinding Department transferred 20,000 units to the Polishing Department. The cost of the units transferred into the second department was 40,000. Direct materials are added uniformly in the second process. Units are measured the same way in both departments. The second department (Polishing) had the following physical flow schedule for December: Costs in beginning work in process for the Polishing Department were direct materials, 5,000; conversion costs, 6,000; and transferred in, 8,000. Costs added during the month: direct materials, 32,000; conversion costs, 50,000; and transferred in, 40,000. Required: 1. Assuming the use of the weighted average method, prepare a schedule of equivalent units. 2. Compute the unit cost for the month.arrow_forward
