Concept explainers
Backflush, two trigger points, completion of production and sale (continuation of 20-37). Assume the same facts for Acton Corporation as in Problem 20-37, except that now assume Acton uses a JIT production system and backflush costing with two trigger points for making entries in the accounting system:
- Completion of good finished units of product
- Sale of finished goods
The inventory account is confined solely to finished goods. Any under- or overallocated conversion costs are written off monthly to Cost of Goods Sold.
- 1. Prepare summary
journal entries for August, including the disposition of under- or overallocated conversion costs. Acton has no direct materials variances.
Required
- 2.
Post the entries in requirement 1 to T-accounts for Finished Goods Control, Conversion Costs Control, Conversion Costs Allocated, and Cost of Goods Sold.
20-37 Backflush costing and JIT production. The Acton Corporation manufactures electrical meters. For August, there were no beginning inventories of direct materials and no beginning or ending work in process. Acton uses a JIT production system and backflush costing with three trigger points for making entries in the accounting system:
- Purchase of direct materials
- Completion of good finished units of product
- Sale of finished goods

- Assume that a company uses the absorption costing approach to cost-plus pricing. It is considering the introduction of a new product. To determine a selling price, the company has gathered the following information: Number of units to be produced and sold each year Unit product cost Estimated annual selling and administrative expenses Estimated investment required by the company Desired return on investment (ROI) 15,000 $ 33.00 $ 63,900 $780,000 12% The selling price that the company would establish using a markup percentage on absorption cost is closest to:arrow_forwardDon't use AI.arrow_forward3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Suppose 200,000 EERES WEIC pro sold) but that the company had a beginning finished goods inventory of 10,000 tents produced in the prior year at $40 per unit. The company follows a first-in, first-out policy for its inventory (meaning that the units produced first are sold first for purposes of cost flow). What effect does this have on the income statement? Show the new statement.
