Explanation of Solution

Production cost:

Production cost refers to the cost associated with the production process. Direct costs associated with the process and stages of completion are taken into consideration while computing the cost of the production of any product.

FUNDAMENTALS OF...(LL)-W/ACCESS>IP<, Chapter 8, Problem 47E

Description of the diagram:

The four products go through the process as drawn above. All the four products go through assembly line. Only the products commuter and sport go for polishing before going through packaging. Product retirement goes through special finishing process and not polishing. The only product that has been packaged straight away from assembly line is Gag-Gift. All the products are then converted into finished goods.

The cost will be different for every product as well. Gag-Gift will include assembly and packaging. Commuter and sport will include assembly, polishing and packaging. Retirement includes cost of assembly, special finishing and packaging.

Explanation of Solution

Cost per unit:

Total amount accounted for and total units accounted are considered computation of cost per equivalent unit.

Compute the cost per unit transferred to finished goods inventory for each of the four watches:
