Exercise 4-5 (Algo) Cost Reconciliation Report—Weighted-Average Method [LO4-5]
Maria Am Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The Baking Department is one of the processing departments in its strudel manufacturing facility. In June in the Baking Department, the cost of beginning work in process inventory was $4,880, the cost of ending work in process inventory was $1,120, and the cost added to production was $25,300.
Required:
Prepare a cost reconciliation report for the Baking Department for June.
Problem 8-63 (Algo) Solving for Unknowns: FIFO Method (LO 8-4, 5)
For each of the following independent cases, use FIFO costing to determine the information requested.
Required:
a) At the start of the period, 3,700 units were in the work-in-process inventory; 3,100 units were in the ending inventory. During the period, 9,600 units were transferred out to the next department. Materials and conversion costs are added evenly throughout the production process. FIFO costing is used. How many units were started during this period?b. Beginning inventory amounted to 1,100 units. This period, 4,600 units were started and completed. At the end of the period, the 3,200 units in inventory were 40 percent complete. Using FIFO costing, the equivalent production for the period was 6,100 units. What was the percentage of completion of the beginning inventory?c. The ending inventory included $81,900 for conversion costs. During the period, 41,300 equivalent units were required to complete the…

- Communication The controller of New Wave Sounds Inc. prepared the following product profitability report for management, using activity-based costing methods for allocating both the factory overhead and the marketing expenses. As such, the controller has confidence in the accuracy of this report. Home Theater Speakers Wireless Speakers Wireless Headphones Total Sales 1,500,000 1,200,000 900,000 3,600,000 Cost of goods sold 1,050,000 720,000 810,000 2,580,000 Gross profit 450,000 480,000 90,000 1,020,000 Marketing expenses 600,000 120,000 72,000 792,000 Income from operations (150,000) 360,000 18,000 228,000 In addition, the controller interviewed the vice president of marketing, who provided the following insight into the company's three products: The home theater speakers are an older product that is highly recognized in the marketplace. The wireless speakers are a new product that was just recently bunched. The wireless headphones are a new technology that has no competition in the marketplace, and it is hoped that they will become an important future addition to the companys product portfolio. Initial indications are that the product is well received by customers. The controller believes that the manufacturing costs for all three products are in line with expectations. Based on the information provided: 1. Calculate the ratio of gross profit to sales and the ratio of income from operations to sales for each product. 2. Write a brief (one page) memo using the product profitability report and the calculations in (1) to make recommendations to management with respect to strategies for the three products.arrow_forwardIdentifying activity bases in an activity-based cost system Select Foods Inc. uses activity-based costing to determine product costs.

The company has prepared the following report for 20Y2: Management is concerned that the administrative expenses may make some of the insurance lines unprofitable. However, the administrative expenses have not been allocated to the insurance lines. The controller has suggested that the administrative expenses could be assigned to the insurance lines using activity-based costing. The administrative expenses are comprised of five activities. The activities and their rates are as follows: Activity-base usage data for each line of insurance were retrieved from the corporate records and are shown below. a.Complete the product profitability report through the administrative activities. b.Determine the underwriting income as a percent of premium revenue. C.Determine the Operating income as a percent of premium revenue, rounded to one decimal place. d.Interpret the report.arrow_forward
- (Appendix 3A) Separating Fixed and Variable Costs, Service Setting Louise McDermott, controller for the Galvin plant of Veromar Inc., wanted to determine the cost behavior of moving materials throughout the plant. She accumulated the following data on the number of moves (from 100 to 800 in increments of 100) and the total cost of moving materials at those levels of moves: Required: 1. Prepare a scattergraph based on these data. Use cost for the vertical axis and number of moves for the horizontal axis. Based on an examination of the scattergraph, does there appear to be a linear relationship between the total cost of moving materials and the number of moves? 2. Compute the cost formula for moving materials by using the high-low method. Calculate the predicted cost for a month with 550 moves by using the high-low formula. (Note: Round the answer for the variable rate to three decimal places and the answer for total fixed cost and total cost to the nearest dollar.) 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Compute the cost formula for moving materials using the method of least squares. (Note: For the method of least squares, round the variable rate to two decimal places and total fixed cost and total cost to the nearest dollar.) Using the regression cost formula, what is the predicted cost for a month with 550 moves? What does the coefficient of determination tell you about the cost formula computed by regression? 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Evaluate the cost formula using the least squares coefficients. Could it be improved? Try dropping the third data point (300, 3,400), and rerun the regression.arrow_forwardComprehensive Activity-Based Costing Exercise [LO7–2, LO7–3, LO7–4, LO7–5] A dvanced Products Corporation has supplied the following data from its activity-based costing system: Overhead Costs Wages and salaries . . . . . . . . . . . . . $300,000 Other overhead costs . . . . . . . . . . . 100,000 Total overhead costs . . . . . . . . . . . . $400,000 Activity Cost Pool Activity Measure Total Activity for the Year Supporting direct labor . . . . . . . . . . . . .

As a part of its business, it receives supplies of aggregate from two suppliers: Toorak Gravel (TG) and Kilda Corporation (KC). RCC purchasing has expressed a preference for KC based on price, but occasionally has to order from TG when KC cannot fill the order. RCC has recently had problems with the quality and the timeliness of deliveries. When a supplier delivers a load to RCC, it goes through an initial inspection to assure it meets specification. If the load fails the initial inspection, it goes through a secondary inspection to determine the exact issue. Almost always, the issue can be resolved and the load can be used. The initial inspection costs $3,000 per load. A secondary inspection, which is more thorough, costs $150 per load.
