Chapter 18, Problem 18.31E
Standard-costing method, spoilage. Refer to the information in Exercise 18-29. Suppose LogicCo determines standard costs of $215 per equivalent unit for direct materials and $92 per equivalent unit for conversion costs for both beginning work in process and work done in the current period.
- 1. Do Exercise 18-29 using the standard-costing method.
Required
- 2. What issues should the manager focus on when reviewing the equivalent units calculation?
18-29 Weighted-average method, spoilage. LogicCo is a fast-growing manufacturer of computer chips. Direct materials are added at the start of the production process. Conversion costs are added evenly during the process. Some units of this product are spoiled as a result of defects not detectable before inspection of finished goods. Spoiled units are disposed of at zero net disposal value. LogicCo uses the weighted-average method of

Explain any difference between the cost per equivalent unit in the assembly department under the weighted-average method and the FIFO method.2. Should Larsen’s managers choose the weighted-average method or the FIFO method? Explain briefly.arrow_forwardThe inspection department at Swifty Industries receives manufactured parts from its own production department and then meticulously checks every part before packaging it for sale. This month, the production department focused on automobile side mirrors. The inspection department began April with just 180 side mirrors in process. These beginning units were 70% of the way through the inspection process. During April, 4,010 more side mirrors were transferred-in from the production department. By month's end, 3,770 units had been fully inspected and packaged (packaging occurs when the units reach the 95% completion point in the inspection department). April's ending WIP Inventory units in the inspection department were 40% of the way through the inspection process. (a) Determine Swifty's equivalent units for transferred-in costs, DM, and conversion costs in April, assuming the company uses the FIFO method of process costing. Total equivalent units of work done Transferred-in DM Conversion…arrow_forward
- For process costing, the FIFO method provides a major advantage over the weighted-average method in that: A. the calculation of equivalent units is less complex under the FIFO method. B. the FIFO method treats units in the beginning inventory as if they were started and completed during the current period. C. the FIFO method separates the work done during the current period to provide measurements of work done during the current period. D. the FIFO method considers units in the work done in the ending work-in-process inventories. E. the FIFO method more correctly computes the equivalent units of direct materials when they are added at the beginning of the production process.arrow_forwardThe cost behavior patterns below are lettered A through H. The vertical axes of the graphs represent total dollars of expense, and the horizontal axes represent production in units, machine hours, or direct labor hours. In each case, the zero point is at the intersection of the two axes. Each graph may be used no more than once. Required: Select the graph that matches the lettered cost described here. a. Depreciation of equipmentthe amount of depreciation charged is computed based on the number of machine hours that the equipment was operated. b. Electricity billflat fixed charge, plus a variable cost after a certain number of kilowatt hours are used. c. City water billcomputed as follows: d. Depreciation of equipmentthe amount is computed by the straight-line method. e. Rent on a factory building donated by the citythe agreement calls for a fixed fee payment, unless 200,000 labor hours are worked, in which case no rent need be paid. f. Salaries of repair workersone repair worker is needed for every 1,000 machine hours or less (i.e., 0 to 1,000 hours requires one repair worker, 1,001 to 2,000 hours requires two repair workers, etc.).arrow_forwardActivity-based costing systems: A. use a single predetermined overhead rate based on machine hours instead of on direct labor B. frequently increase the overhead allocation to at least one product while decreasing the overhead allocation to at least one other product C. limit the number of cost pools D. always result in an increase of at least one products selling pricearrow_forward
