Gladden Dock Company manufactures boat docks on an assembly line. Its costing system uses two cost categories, direct materials and conversion costs. Each product must pass through the Assembly Department and the Finishing Department. This problem focuses on the Assembly Department. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the production process. Conversion costs are allocated evenly throughout production. The firm uses FIFO method and the controller prepared the following (correct) equivalent unit calculation.

An activity based costing system is used at Haldeman, SA to assign products overhead costs. First, the two overhead costs of Equipment depreciation and Water expense are allocated to three activity cost pools - Handling, Machining, and Other - based on resource consumption. The information used to perform these allocations is below:
Overhead Costs:
Equipment depreciation: $50,000
Water expense: $60,000
Distribution of Resource Consumption across Activity Cost Pools:
Overhead Cost
Activity Cost Pools
Handling
Machining
Other
Equipment depreciation
0.28
0.34
0.38
Water expense
0.32
0.22
0.46
The second stage of allocation is done by assigning the Handling costs to products on the basis of orders filled while products are assigned Machining costs based on machine hours. Costs assigned to the Other activity pool are not further assigned to products. Activity information for Haldeman's only two products is below:

Muskoge Company uses a process-costing system. The company manufactures a product that isprocessed in two departments: Molding and Assembly. In the Molding Department, directmaterials are added at the beginning of the process; in the Assembly Department, additionaldirect materials are added at the end of the process. In both departments, conversion costs areincurred uniformly throughout the process. As work is completed, it is transferred out. Thefollowing table summarizes the production activity and costs for February: Molding AssemblyBeginning inventories: Physical units 10,000 8,000 Costs: Transferred in — $ 45,400 Direct materials $22,000 — Conversion costs $13,800 $ 16,700Current production: Units started 25,000 ?

- Reducir, Inc., produces two different types of hydraulic cylinders. Reducir produces a major subassembly for the cylinders in the Cutting and Welding Department. Other parts and the subassembly are then assembled in the Assembly Department. The activities, expected costs, and drivers associated with these two manufacturing processes are given below. Note: In the assembly process, the materials-handling activity is a function of product characteristics rather than batch activity. Other overhead activities, their costs, and drivers are listed below. Other production information concerning the two hydraulic cylinders is also provided: Required: 1. Using a plantwide rate based on machine hours, calculate the total overhead cost assigned to each product and the unit overhead cost. 2. Using activity rates, calculate the total overhead cost assigned to each product and the unit overhead cost. Comment on the accuracy of the plantwide rate. 3. Calculate the global consumption ratios. 4. Calculate the consumption ratios for welding and materials handling (Assembly) and show that two drivers, welding hours and number of parts, can be used to achieve the same ABC product costs calculated in Requirement 2. Explain the value of this simplification. 5. Calculate the consumption ratios for inspection and engineering, and show that the drivers for these two activities also duplicate the ABC product costs calculated in Requirement 2.arrow_forwardK-Briggs Company uses the FIFO method to account for the costs of production. For Crushing, the first processing department, the following equivalent units schedule has been prepared: The cost per equivalent unit for the period was as follows: The cost of beginning work in process was direct materials, 40,000; conversion costs, 30,000. Required: 1. Determine the cost of ending work in process and the cost of goods transferred out. 2. Prepare a physical flow schedule.arrow_forwardHercules Inc. manufactures elliptical exercise machines and treadmills. The products are produced in its Fabrication and Assembly production departments. In addition to production activities, several other activities are required to produce the two products.

- Computing Equivalent Units, FIFO and Weighted Average Cost Methods Assume each of the following conditions concerning the data given: All materials are added at the beginning of the process. All materials are added at the end of the process. (Note that this would have to be a department subsequent to the first department for all materials to be added at the end of the process, but ignore that fact for purposes of this solution.) Half of the materials are added at the beginning of the process, and the balance of the materials is added when the units are three-fourths completed. In all cases, labor and factory overhead are added evenly throughout the process.arrow_forwardMuskoge Company uses a process-costing system.

- Cycle Time, Velocity, Product Costing Mulhall, Inc., has a JIT system in place. Each manufacturing cell is dedicated to the production of a single product or major subassembly. One cell, dedicated to the production of mopeds, has four operations: machining, finishing, assembly, and qualifying (testing). The machining process is automated, using computers. In this process, the model’s frame and engine are constructed. In finishing, the frame is sandblasted, buffed, and painted. In assembly, the frame and engine are assembled. Finally, each model is tested to ensure operational capability. For the coming year, the moped cell has the following budgeted costs and cell time (both at theoretical capacity): Budgeted conversion costs $5,541,120 Budgeted materials $18,668,000 Cell time 35,520 Theoretical output 17,760 models During the year, the following actual results were obtained: Actual conversion costs $5,541,120 Actual materials $4,009,000 Actual cell time…arrow_forwardRamsey SARL uses an activity based costing system to assign overhead costs to products.
