- For E2-17, prepare any journal entries that would have been different if the only trigger points had been the purchase of materials and the sale of finished goods. Davis Co. uses backflush costing to account for its manufacturing costs. The trigger points are the purchase of materials, the completion of goods, and the sale of goods. Prepare journal entries to account for the following: a. Purchased raw materials, on account, 70,000. b. Requisitioned raw materials to production, 70,000. c. Distributed direct labor costs, 15,000. d. Factory overhead costs incurred, 45,000. (Use Various Credits for the account in the credit part of the entry.) e. Completed all of the production started. f. Sold the completed production for 195,000, on account. (Hint: Use a single account for raw materials and work in process.)arrow_forwardCassien Inc. manufactures products that pass through two or more processes. During June, equivalent units were computed using the weighted average method: Required: 1. Calculate the unit cost for June using the weighted average method. 2. Using the weighted average method, determine the cost of EWIP and the cost of the goods transferred out. 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Cassien had just finished implementing a series of measures designed to reduce the unit cost to 2.00 and was assured that this had been achieved and should be realized for Junes production. Yet, upon seeing the unit cost for June, the president of the company was disappointed. Can you explain why the full effect of the cost reductions may not show up in June? What can you suggest to overcome this problem?arrow_forwardKenkel, Ltd. uses backflush costing to account for its manufacturing costs. The trigger points are the purchase of materials, the completion of goods, and the sale of goods. Prepare journal entries to account for the following: a. Purchased raw materials, on account, 80,000. b. Requisitioned raw materials to production, 80,000. c. Distributed direct labor costs, 10,000. d. Factory overhead costs incurred, 60,000. (Use Various Credits for the account in the credit part of the entry.) e. Completed all of the production started. f. Sold the completed production for 225,000, on account.arrow_forward
- During the week of June 12, Harrison Manufacturing produced and shipped 15,000 units of its aluminum wheels: 3,000 units of Model A and 12,000 units of Model B. The following costs were incurred: Required: 1. Assume initially that the value-stream costs and total units shipped apply only to one model (a single-product value stream). Calculate the unit cost, and comment on its accuracy. 2. Calculate the unit cost for Models A and B, and comment on its accuracy. Explain the rationale for using units shipped instead of units produced in the calculation. 3. What if Model A is responsible for 40 percent of the materials cost? Show how the unit cost would be adjusted for this condition.arrow_forwardCicleta Manufacturing has four activities: receiving materials, assembly, expediting products, and storing goods. Receiving and assembly are necessary activities; expediting and storing goods are unnecessary. The following data pertain to the four activities for the year ending 20x1 (actual price per unit of the activity driver is assumed to be equal to the standard price): Required: 1. Prepare a cost report for the year ending 20x1 that shows value-added costs, non-value-added costs, and total costs for each activity. 2. Explain why expediting products and storing goods are non-value-added activities. 3. What if receiving cost is a step-fixed cost with each step being 1,500 orders whereas assembly cost is a variable cost? What is the implication for reducing the cost of waste for each activity?arrow_forwardDuring the week of August 21, Parley Manufacturing produced and shipped 4,000 units of its machine tools: 1,500 units of Tool SK1 and 2,500 units of Tool SK3. The cycle time for SK1 is 0.73 hour, and the cycle time for SK3 is 0.56 hour. The following costs were incurred: Required: 1. Assume that the value-stream costs and total units shipped apply only to one model (a single-product value stream). Calculate the unit cost, and comment on its accuracy. 2. Assume that Tool SK1 is responsible for 60% of the materials cost. Calculate the unit cost for Tool SK 1 and Tool SK3, and comment on its accuracy. Explain the rationale for using units shipped instead of units produced in the calculation. 3. Calculate the unit cost for the two models, using DBC.
