Identify the following production processes as lean (L) or traditional (T). The process uses push production. Large batch sizes are used, and inspection occurs only when goods are completed.
In a process costing system, how is the unit cost affected in a production cost report when materials are added in a department subsequent to the first department and the added materials result in additional units?
a. the first departments unit cost is increased, which necessitates an adjustment of the transferred-in unit cost
b. the first department’s unit cost is decreased, which necessitates an adjustment of the transferred-in unit cost
c. the first department’s unit cost is increased, but it does not necessitate an adjustment of the transferred-in unit cost
d. the first department’s unit cost is decreased, but it does not necessitate an adjustment of the transferred-in unit cost
Providing the power required to run production equipment is an example of unit-level activity. Why is it not for a batch-level activity or product-level activity since both will require power?
Please explain in detail by giving some examples of other activity levels (batch and product).

In the first process, a subassembly is produced (subassembly A). In the second process, this subassembly and a subassembly purchased from outside the company (subassembly B) are assembled to produce the final product. For simplicity, assume that the assembly of one final unit takes the same time as the production of subassembly A. Subassembly A is placed in a container and sent to an area called the subassembly stores (SB stores) area. A production Kanban is attached to this container. A second container, also with one subassembly, is located near the assembly line (called the withdrawal store). This container has attached to it a withdrawal Kanban. Required: 1. Explain how withdrawal and production Kanban cards are used to control the work flow between the two processes. How does this approach minimize inventories? 2. Explain how vendor Kanban cards can be used to control the flow of the purchased subassembly. What implications does this have for supplier relationships? What role, if any, do continuous replenishment and EDI play in this process?arrow_forwardExplain how each activity in this list can be associated with the corresponding unit or batch level provided.
