FIFO Method, Two-Department Analysis
Muskoge Company uses a process-costing system. The company manufactures a product that is processed in two departments: Molding and Assembly. In the Molding Department, direct materials are added at the beginning of the process; in the Assembly Department, additional direct materials are added at the end of the process. In both departments, conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. As work is completed, it is transferred out. The following table summarizes the production activity and costs for February:

- Reducir, Inc., produces two different types of hydraulic cylinders. Reducir produces a major subassembly for the cylinders in the Cutting and Welding Department. Other parts and the subassembly are then assembled in the Assembly Department. The activities, expected costs, and drivers associated with these two manufacturing processes are given below. Note: In the assembly process, the materials-handling activity is a function of product characteristics rather than batch activity. Other overhead activities, their costs, and drivers are listed below. Other production information concerning the two hydraulic cylinders is also provided: Required: 1. Using a plantwide rate based on machine hours, calculate the total overhead cost assigned to each product and the unit overhead cost. 2. Using activity rates, calculate the total overhead cost assigned to each product and the unit overhead cost. Comment on the accuracy of the plantwide rate. 3. Calculate the global consumption ratios. 4. Calculate the consumption ratios for welding and materials handling (Assembly) and show that two drivers, welding hours and number of parts, can be used to achieve the same ABC product costs calculated in Requirement 2. Explain the value of this simplification. 5. Calculate the consumption ratios for inspection and engineering, and show that the drivers for these two activities also duplicate the ABC product costs calculated in Requirement 2.arrow_forwardA manufacturing company has two service and two production departments. Human Resources and Machine Repair are the service departments. The production departments are Grinding and Polishing. The following data have been estimated for next years operations: The direct charges identified with each of the departments are as follows: The human resources department services all departments of the company, and its costs are allocated using the numbers of employees within each department, while machine repair costs are allocable to Grinding and Polishing on the basis of machine hours. 1. Distribute the service department costs, using the direct method. 2. Distribute the service department costs, using the sequential distribution method, with the department servicing the greatest number of other departments distributed first.arrow_forwardFIFO Method, Two-Department Analysis Muskoge Company uses a process-costing system.

- Cycle Time, Velocity, Product Costing Mulhall, Inc., has a JIT system in place. Each manufacturing cell is dedicated to the production of a single product or major subassembly. One cell, dedicated to the production of mopeds, has four operations: machining, finishing, assembly, and qualifying (testing). The machining process is automated, using computers. In this process, the model’s frame and engine are constructed. In finishing, the frame is sandblasted, buffed, and painted. In assembly, the frame and engine are assembled. Finally, each model is tested to ensure operational capability. For the coming year, the moped cell has the following budgeted costs and cell time (both at theoretical capacity): Budgeted conversion costs $5,541,120 Budgeted materials $18,668,000 Cell time 35,520 Theoretical output 17,760 models During the year, the following actual results were obtained: Actual conversion costs $5,541,120 Actual materials $4,009,000 Actual cell time…arrow_forwardRequired information Use the following information for the Exercises below.

The Molding and Assembly production departments are supported by the Personnel and Maintenance departments. Personnel costs are allocated to the production departments based on the number of employees, and Maintenance costs are allocated based on number of service calls. Information about these departments is detailed in the following table: Instructions 1. Assuming that Hooligan Adventure Supply uses the sequential method to allocate its support department costs, which support department does it most likely allocate first? 2. Based on your response in part (1), determine the total costs allocated from each support department to each production department using the sequential method. 3. If Hooligan Adventure Supply wanted to use a more accurate support department cost allocation method, which method should it choose? What might discourage the company from using this method?arrow_forward
