Problem 20-4A Weighted average:
Tamar Co. manufactures a single product in two departments: Forming and Assembly. All direct materials are added at the beginning of the forming process. Conversion costs are added evenly throughout each process. During May, the Forming department started 21,600 units, and completed and transferred 22,200 units of product to the Assembly department. The Forming department's 3,000 units of beginning work in process consisted of $19,800 of direct materials and $221,940 of conversion costs. It has 2.400 units (100% complete with respect to direct materials and 80% complete with respect to conversion) in process at month-end. During the month, $496,800 of direct materials costs and $2,165,940 of conversion costs were charged to the Forming department.
Required
1. Prepare the Forming department's process cost summary for May using the weighted-average method.
Check (1) EUP for conversion, 24,120
2. Prepare the
(2) Cost transferred out. 12.664.000
Analysis Component
3. The costing process depends on numerous estimates.
a. Identify two major estimates that determine the cost per equivalent unit.
b. Assume management compensation is based on maintaining low inventory amounts. Is management more likely to overestimate or understimate the percentage complete?

- Calculate lead time Williams Optical Inc. is considering a new lean product cell. The present manufacturing approach produces a product in four separate steps. The production batch sizes are 45 units. The process time for each step is as follows: Process Step 1 5 minutes Process Step 2 8 minutes Process Step 3 4 minutes Process Step 4 3 minutes The time required to move each batch between steps is 5 minutes. In addition, the time to move raw materials to Process Step 1 is also 5 minutes, and the lime to move completed units from Process Step 4 to finished goods inventory is 5 minutes. The new lean layout will allow the company to reduce the batch sizes from 45 units to 3 units. The time required to move each batch between steps and the inventory locations will be reduced to 2 minutes. The processing time in each step will stay the same. Determine the value-added, non-value-added, and total lead times, and the value-added ratio under the (A) present and (B) proposed production approaches. (Round percentages to one decimal place.)arrow_forwardUnits to be Assigned Costs Question 11 Eve Cosmetics Company consists of two departments, Blending and Filling.
