Problem 20-5BA FIFO: Process cost summary; equivalent units; cost estimates C3 C4 P4
Refer to the information in Problem 20-4B. Assume that Switch uses the FIFO method to account for its
• Beginning work in process consists of 10.000 units that were 75% complete with respect to direct materials and 60% complete with respect to conversion.
* Of the 220,000 units transferred out, 10,000 were from beginning work in process: me remaining 210,000 were units started and completed during January.

- (Appendix 3A) Separating Fixed and Variable Costs, Service Setting Louise McDermott, controller for the Galvin plant of Veromar Inc., wanted to determine the cost behavior of moving materials throughout the plant. She accumulated the following data on the number of moves (from 100 to 800 in increments of 100) and the total cost of moving materials at those levels of moves: Required: 1. Prepare a scattergraph based on these data. Use cost for the vertical axis and number of moves for the horizontal axis. Based on an examination of the scattergraph, does there appear to be a linear relationship between the total cost of moving materials and the number of moves? 2. Compute the cost formula for moving materials by using the high-low method. Calculate the predicted cost for a month with 550 moves by using the high-low formula. (Note: Round the answer for the variable rate to three decimal places and the answer for total fixed cost and total cost to the nearest dollar.) 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Compute the cost formula for moving materials using the method of least squares. (Note: For the method of least squares, round the variable rate to two decimal places and total fixed cost and total cost to the nearest dollar.) Using the regression cost formula, what is the predicted cost for a month with 550 moves? What does the coefficient of determination tell you about the cost formula computed by regression? 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Evaluate the cost formula using the least squares coefficients. Could it be improved? Try dropping the third data point (300, 3,400), and rerun the regression.arrow_forwardWrappers Tape makes two products: Simple and Removable. It estimates it will produce 369,991 units of Simple and 146,100 of Removable, and the overhead for each of its cost pools is as follows: It has also estimated the activities for each cost driver as follows: Â How much is the overhead allocated to each unit of Simple and Removable?arrow_forward5arrow_forward

Each product consists of 20 separate parts totaling $95 in direct materials, and requires 2.5 hours of machine time to produce. Additional information is as follows: Acitivity Materials handling Machine operations Assembling Packaging Allocation Base Number of parts Number of hours Number of parts Number of completed products $0.09 $5.22 $0.35 $2.00 Cost Allocation Rate What is the cost of materials handling per product?
