Summit Beverage Company uses a process costing system to collect costs related to the production of its herbal-infused tea. The tea is first processed in a Brewing Department at Summit and is then transferred out and finished up in the Bottling Department. Given the following cost data for the Brewing Department: • Direct materials: $95,000 ⚫ Direct labor: $45,000 • Manufacturing overhead: $80,000 • Units transferred to the Bottling Department: 50,000 What is the unit cost for the Brewing Department before transferring the units to the Bottling Department?

Vexar manufactures nails. Manufacturing is a one-step process where the nails are forged. This is the information related to this years production: Â Ending inventory was 100% complete as to materials and 70% complete as to conversion, and the total materials cost is $115,080 and the total conversion cost is $72,072. Using the weighted-average method, what are the unit costs if the company transferred out 34,000 units? Using the weighted-average method, prepare the companys process cost summary for the month.
K-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.
Benson Pharmaceuticals uses a process-costing system to compute the unit costs of the over-the-counter cold remedies that it produces. It has three departments: mixing, encapsulating, and bottling. In mixing, the ingredients for the cold capsules are measured, sifted, and blended (with materials assumed to be uniformly added throughout the process). The mix is transferred out in gallon containers. The encapsulating department takes the powdered mix and places it in capsules (which are necessarily added at the beginning of the process). One gallon of powdered mix converts into 1,500 capsules. After the capsules are filled and polished, they are transferred to bottling, where they are placed in bottles that are then affixed with a safety seal, lid, and label. Each bottle receives 50 capsules. During March, the following results are available for the first two departments: Overhead in both departments is applied as a percentage of direct labor costs. In the mixing department, overhead is 200% of direct labor. In the encapsulating department, the overhead rate is 150% of direct labor. Required: 1. Prepare a production report for the mixing department using the weighted average method. Follow the five steps outlined in the chapter. (Note: Round to two decimal places for the unit cost.) 2. Prepare a production report for the encapsulating department using the weighted average method. Follow the five steps outlined in the chapter. (Note: Round to four decimal places for the unit cost.) 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Explain why the weighted average method is easier to use than FIFO. Explain when weighted average will give about the same results as FIFO.
Christmas Timber, Inc., produces Christmas trees. The trees are produced through a cutting and pruning process. Machine maintenance and janitorial labors are performed throughout the production process by nonproduction employees. Maintenance and janitorial costs are allocated based on machine hours used and the number of trees in each department, respectively. The company estimates that the cutting and pruning areas typically have about 20 and 60 trees, respectively, in them at one time. The company also estimates that the cutting process requires about 9 times as many machine hours as the pruning process. The total costs of each department are as follows: Using the direct method of support department cost allocation, determine the total cost of each production department after allocating all support costs to the production departments.
The following product costs are available for Stellis Company on the production of erasers: direct materials, $22,000; direct labor, $35,000; manufacturing overhead, $17,500; selling expenses, $17,600; and administrative expenses; $13,400. What are the prime costs? What are the conversion costs? What is the total product cost? What is the total period cost? If 13,750 equivalent units are produced, what is the equivalent material cost per unit? If 17,500 equivalent units are produced, what is the equivalent conversion cost per unit?
Allocating selling and administrative expenses using activity-based costing Arctic Air Inc. manufactures cooling units for commercial buildings. The price and cost of goods sold for each unit are as follows: In addition, the company incurs selling and administrative expenses of 226,250. The company wishes to assign these costs to its three major customers, Gough Industries, Breen Inc., and The Martin Group. These expenses are related to three major nonmanufacturing activities: customer service, project bidding, and engineering support. The engineering support is in the form of engineering changes that are placed by the customer to change the design of a product. The budgeted activity costs and activity bases associated with these activities are: Activity-base usage and unit volume information for the three customers is as follows: Instructions 1. Determine the activity rates for each of the three nonmanufacturing activity pools. 2. Determine the activity costs allocated to the three customers, using the activity rates in (1). 3. Construct customer profitability reports for the three customers, dated for the year ended December 31, using the activity costs in (2). The reports should disclose the gross profit and operating income associated with each customer. 4. Provide recommendations to management, based on the profitability reports in (3).
A company is using process costing with the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, and all costs are added evenly throughout the manufacturing process. If there are 5,000 units in beginning work in process inventory (30% complete), 10,000 units in ending work in process inventory (60% complete), and 25,000 units started in process this period, how many equivalent units are there for this period? a. 22,500 units. b. 26,000 units. c. 24,500 units. d. 25,000 units.
Charlies Wood Works produces wood products (e.g., cabinets, tables, picture frames, and so on). Production departments include Cutting and Assembly. The Janitorial and Security departments support the Cutting and Assembly departments. The Assembly Department spans about 46,400 square feet and holds assets valued at about 60,000. The Cutting Department spans about 33,600 square feet and holds assets valued at about 140,000. Charlies Wood Works allocates support department costs using the direct method. If costs from the Janitorial Department are allocated based on square feet and costs from the Security Department are allocated based on asset value, determine (a) the percentage of Janitorial costs that should be allocated to the Assembly Department and (b) the percentage of Security costs that should be allocated to the Cutting Department.

Apsara Beverages Co. uses process costing to account for the production of bottled sports drinks. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process, and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Equivalent units have been calculated to be 21,600 units for materials and 18,000 units for conversion costs. Beginning inventory consisted of $13,500 in materials and $7,200 in conversion costs. May costs were $62,400 for materials and $72,000 for conversion costs. The ending inventory still in process was 7,000 units (100% complete for materials, 50% for conversion). The cost per equivalent unit for materials using the weighted-average method would be____.
