Chapter 3, Problem 6E
To determine

(a)

Introduction:

Process costing is a system in which production cost are allocated to individual production stages used in the manufacturing process. In this process, production is continuous and divided into number of processes.

To compute:

The physical units missing in the table and numbers of inventory stated and completed during each month.

Answer to Problem 6E

To reconcile the number of physical units:

February:

Units started = 48,000units

June:

Units transferred out = 47,000 units

September:

Units in beginning inventory = 1,800 units

December:

Units in ending inventory = 7,000 units

Number of units started and completed each month February:

Units started and completed = 35,000units

June:

Units started and completed = 38,600 units

September:

Units started and completed = 48,200 units

December:

Units started and completed = 37,000 units

Explanation of Solution

To reconcile the number of physical units:

Reconciling the number of physical units (FIFO method) using the formula given below:

Beginning inventory (WIP) + Units started = Units completed + closing inventory (WIP)

Thus for February, Units Started

=( 38,000+13,000)3,000=48,000 units

For June, units completed

= ( 8,400+ 46,600) -8,000= 47,000 units

For September, Beginning inventory

= ( 50,000+ 4,600)  52,800= 1,800 units

For December, Closing inventory

= ( 5,800 + 44,000)  42, 800= 7,000 units

As we understand that in First in First out method, the determination of beginning and completed units is required. Thus the formula to calculate the same is:

Units started and completed = Units completed-Units in beginning inventory

Or

Units started and completed = Units started-Units in closing inventory

Thus, for February Units started and completed:

= 38,000  3, 000= 35,000 units

ForJune, Units started and completed

= 47,000 - 8,400= 38,600 units

For September, Units statted and completed

= 50,000 - 1,800= 48,200 units

For December Units stated and completed

= 42.800  5,800= 37,000 units

Country Selection for your Portfolio Project First, review the Portfolio Project description and the grading rubric in the Module 7 folder. Then, choose a country you will study and become an expert in as you prepare for the final project. Once you have selected a country, select a product that is currently not available there. This country-product combination will be the focus of your Portfolio Project. There can be only one person per country. So post early to ensure you get your country choice. It is best if we have representation from different regions of the world (e.g., Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin/Caribbean, the Middle East/North Africa, and Canada), so be aware of countries that have already been selected. Helpful Hint: The World FactbookLinks to an external site. is an excellent resource to use when deciding which country you want to study.  You should respond to the product or service choice selection posted commenting on initial thoughts about appropriateness to the…
For this discussion, address the questions below: Choose a global company that you feel does an excellent job of marketing its products and services. Discuss your perception of how the company avoids self-reference criterion to market effectively to different regions. You can structure your answer in the following manner: start your post with a well-developed paragraph to explain why you selected this company for this assignment. In the next paragraph, describe what you think drives this company's marketing strategy success. The third paragraph should discuss your perception of how the company avoids self-reference criterion to market effectively to different regions. Your fourth paragraph should focus on how you think the company avoids ethnocentric behavior in international markets where they are present.
We are all strategists. That is, we set goals, navigate threats, and tap opportunities. We leverage our resources and implement decisions and actions to reach our goals. Sometimes we succeed and sometimes we fail.   (Adapted from Figure 1.1, Grant, 2022, p. 7) Please share an experience in which you played the strategist. What was your goal? Did the goal fit (or not fit) with the realities of the external environment and your resources? What implementation decisions and efforts did you make? Was your strategy successful or not? Why? Did strategy execution (i.e., implementation, monitoring, and control) play a key role in your strategy’s success or failure?
