- 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.arrow_forwardMt. Palomar Manufacturing Co. uses a process cost system. Its manufacturing operation is carried on in two departments: Machining and Finishing. The Machining Department uses the weighted average cost method, and the Finishing Department uses the FIFO cost method. Materials are added in both departments at the beginning of operations, but the added materials do not increase the number of units being processed. Units are lost in the Machining Department throughout the production process, and inspection occurs at the end of the process. The lost units have no scrap value and are considered to be a normal loss. Production statistics for July show the following data: Required: Prepare a cost of production summary for each department. (Round unit costs to three decimal places.) Which department will have an easier time determining how its unit costs compare from month to month? Why?arrow_forwardHealthway uses a process-costing system to compute the unit costs of the minerals that it produces. It has three departments: Mixing, Tableting, and Bottling. In Mixing, at the beginning of the process all materials are added and the ingredients for the minerals are measured, sifted, and blended together. The mix is transferred out in gallon containers. The Tableting Department takes the powdered mix and places it in capsules. One gallon of powdered mix converts to 1,600 capsules. After the capsules are filled and polished, they are transferred to Bottling where they are placed in bottles, which are then affixed with a safety seal and a lid and labeled. Each bottle receives 50 capsules. During July, the following results are available for the first two departments (direct materials are added at the beginning in both departments): Overhead in both departments is applied as a percentage of direct labor costs. In the Mixing Department, overhead is 200 percent of direct labor. In the Tableting Department, the overhead rate is 150 percent 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. Round unit cost to three decimal places. 2. Prepare a production report for the Tableting Department. Materials are added at the beginning of the process. Follow the five steps outlined in the chapter.

- Muskoge Company uses a process-costing system. The company manufactures a product that isprocessed in two departments: Molding and Assembly. In the Molding Department, directmaterials are added at the beginning of the process; in the Assembly Department, additionaldirect materials are added at the end of the process. In both departments, conversion costs areincurred uniformly throughout the process. As work is completed, it is transferred out. Thefollowing table summarizes the production activity and costs for February: Molding AssemblyBeginning inventories: Physical units 10,000 8,000 Costs: Transferred in — $ 45,400 Direct materials $22,000 — Conversion costs $13,800 $ 16,700Current production: Units started 25,000 ?

Because of the high volume of this type of product, the company employs a process cost system using the weighted average method to determine costs. Product Parts are manufactured in the Molding Department and transferred to the assembly Department were they are partially assembled. After assembly, the product is sent to packaging department. Cost per unit data for the high end product has been completed through the Molding department. Annual cost and production figures for the assembly Department are presented below: Production Data Beg.

Units are started in Fabricating Department and then transferred to the Finishing Department, where they are completed. Units are inspected at the 60% stage of conversion in the Fabricating Department and at the end of the process in the Finishing Department. Materials are added at the beginning of the process in both departments. Unit of product spoiled in Fabricating department has no salvage value; however, units found to be spoiled at the end of the Finished process have a salvage value of P1 each. Good units are transferred from the Finishing Department to Finished Goods Inventory at cost, and spoiled units are transferred to Spoiled Goods Inventory at their salvage value. The unrecoverable cost of spoilage in both departments is viewed by management as an internal failure cost and charged to Factory overhead…arrow_forward
- Joseph Company uses a standard process costing system in accounting for its one product, which is produced in one department. Inspection takes place at the end of the process, and any spoiled units revealed by inspection are considered abnormal and complete as to all cost elements. All materials are added at the beginning of the process while conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Standard costs are as follows: Materials: 6 square meters @ P0.33 Direct labor: ½ hour @ P5.25 Variable factory overhead: ½ hour @ P1.00 Fixed factory overhead: ½ hour @ P1.50 Normal capacity is 17,500 direct labor hours per month. Actual data for November: a. Beginning work in process inventory – 5,000 units (40% converted) b. Started in process during the month – 30,000 units c. Spoiled during November – 1,000 units d. Ending work in process inventory – 2,000 units (80% converted) e.

Production begins in the fabrication department where units of raw material are molded into various connecting parts. After fabrication is complete, the units are transferred to the assembly department. There is no material added in the assembly department. After assembly is complete, the units are transferred to a packaging department where packing material is placed around the units. After the units are ready for shipping, they are sent to a shipping area. At year-end, June 30, the following inventory of Product D is on hand: No unused raw material or packing material. Fabrication department: 300 units, 1/3 complete as to raw material and 1/2 complete as to direct labor. Assembly department: 1,000 units , 2/5 complete as to direct labor.

- Gladden Dock Company manufactures boat docks on an assembly line. Its costing system uses two cost categories, direct materials and conversion costs. Each product must pass through the Assembly Department and the Finishing Department. This problem focuses on the Assembly Department.
