The Hershey Company manufactures chocolate confectionery products. The three largest raw materials are cocoa, sugar, and dehydrated milk. These raw materials first go into the Blending Department. The blended product is then sent to the Molding Department, where the bars of candy are formed. The candy is then sent to the Packing Department, where the bars are wrapped and boxed. The boxed candy is then sent to the distribution center, where it is eventually sold to food brokers and retailers.

Christie's Co. manufactures cookies. The company has two departments, Mixing and Baking. For the Baking Department, material is added at the beginning of the process. Work happens evenly throughout the process, so Conversion Costs are added evenly to the product. Once mixing is complete, the cookies pieces are immediately transferred to the Baking Department. Once the baking is complete, the final product is transferred to Finished Goods Inventory. Data for the Baking Department is as follows:

Calculate the physical and equivalent units for Transferred-In, Direct Materials and Conversion Costs
Bavarian Chocolate Company processes chocolate into candy bars. The process begins by placing direct materials (raw chocolate, milk, and sugar) into the Blending Department. All materials are placed into production at the beginning of the blending process. After blending, the milk chocolate is then transferred to the Molding Department, where the milk chocolate is formed into candy bars. The following is a partial work in process accountof the Blending Department at October 31:AttachmentInstructions1. Prepare a cost of production report and identify the missing amounts for Work in Process—Blending Department.2. Assuming that the October 1 work in process inventory includes direct materials of $38,295, determine the increase or decrease in the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion between September and October.

- Healthway 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. Round unit cost to four decimal places.arrow_forwardBenson 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.

The Mixing Department combines the direct materials of paraffin wax and pigments. The heated mixture is pumped to the Molding Department, where it is poured into molds. After the molds cool, the crayons are removed from the molds and are transferred to the Packaging Department, where paper wrappers are added and the crayons are boxed. In the Mixing Department, the direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and the conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the process. Work in process of the Mixing Department on April 1, 2018, consisted of 300 batches of crayons that were 30% of the way through the production process.

- Process activity analysis The Brite Beverage Company bottles soft drinks into aluminum cans. The manufacturing process consists of three activities: 1. Mixing: water, sugar, and beverage concentrate are mixed. 2. Filling: mixed beverage is filled into 12-oz. cans. 3. Packaging: properly filled cans are boxed into cardboard fridge packs. The activity costs associated with these activities for the period are as follows: The activity costs do not include materials costs, which are ignored for this analysis. Each can is expected to contain 12 ounces of beverage. Thus, after being filled, each can is automatically weighed. If a can is too light, it is rejected, or kicked, from the filling line prior to being packaged. The primary cause of kicks is heat expansion. With heat expansion, the beverage overflows during filling, resulting in underweight cans. This process begins by mixing and filling 6,300,000 cans during the period, of which only 6,000,000 cans are actually packaged. Three hundred thousand cans are rejected due to underweight kicks. A process improvement team has determined that cooling the cans prior to filling them will reduce the amount of overflows due to expansion. After this improvement, the number of kicks is expected to decline from 300,000 cans to 63,000 cans, thus increasing the number of filled cans to 6,237,000 [6,000,000 + (300,000 63,000)]. A. Determine the total activity cost per packaged can under present operations. B. Determine the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements. C. Determine the expected total activity cost per packaged can after improvements. Round to three decimal places.arrow_forwardAnalyzing process cost elements across product types Mystic Bottling Company bottles popular beverages in the Bottling Department. The beverages are produced by blending concentrate with water and sugar. The concentrate is purchased from a concentrate producer. The concentrate producer sets higher prices for the more popular concentrate flavors. A simplified Bottling Department cost of production report separating the cost of bottling the four flavors follows: Beginning and ending work in process inventories are negligible, so they are omitted from the cost of production report. The flavor changeover cost represents the cost of cleaning the bottling machines between production runs of different flavors. A production ran of a new flavor is produced after a flavor changeover from the previous flavor. Higher-demand flavors are produced in larger production runs, while smaller-demand flavors are produced in smaller production runs. Prepare a memo to the production manager, analyzing this comparative cost information. In your memo, provide recommendations for further action, along with supporting schedules showing the total cost per case and cost per case by cost element.
