(LO4-6, LO4-7, LO4-8]
Jarvene Corporation uses the FIFO method in its process costing system. The following data are for the most recent month of
operations in one of the company's processing departments:
Units in beginning inventory
Units started into production
Units in ending inventory
Units transferred to the next department
370
4,310
320
4,360
Materials

30%
90%
30%
The cost of beginning inventory according to the company's costing system was $7,811 of which $4,806 was for materials and the
remainder was for conversion cost. The costs added during the month amounted to $178,937. The costs per equivalent unit for the
month were:
Materials
Conversion

- FIFO Method, Single Department Analysis, One Cost Category Refer to the data in Problem 6.33. Required: Prepare a cost of production report for the Fabrication Department for December using the FIFO method of costing.arrow_forwardSeacrest Company uses a process-costing system. The company manufactures a product that is processed in two departments: A and B. As work is completed, it is transferred out. All inputs are added uniformly in Department A. The following summarizes the production activity and costs for November: Required: 1. Using the weighted average method, prepare the following for Department A: (a) a physical flow schedule, (b) an equivalent unit calculation, (c) calculation of unit costs (Note: Round to four decimal places.), (d) cost of EWIP and cost of goods transferred out, and (e) a cost reconciliation. 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Prepare journal entries that show the flow of manufacturing costs for Department A. Use a conversion cost control account for conversion costs. Many firms are now combining direct labor and overhead costs into one category. They are not tracking direct labor separately. Offer some reasons for this practice.arrow_forwardCushing, Inc., costs products using a normal costing system. The following data are available for last year: Overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor hours. What was last years per unit product cost? a. 1.39 b. 4.40 c. 4.43 d. 3.01arrow_forward
- Refer to the data in Exercise 7.20. The company has decided to use the sequential method of allocation instead of the direct method. The support departments are ranked in order of highest cost to lowest cost. Required: 1. Allocate the overhead costs to the producing departments using the sequential method. (Take allocation ratios out to four significant digits. Round allocated costs to the nearest dollar.) 2. Using machine hours, compute departmental overhead rates. (Round the overhead rates to the nearest cent.)arrow_forward(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_forwardWeighted Average Method, Unit Costs, Valuing Inventories Byford Inc. produces a product that passes through two processes. During November, equivalent units were calculated using the weighted average method: The costs that Byford had to account for during the month of November were as follows: Required: 1. Using the weighted average method, determine unit cost. 2. Under the weighted average method, what is the total cost of units transferred out? What is the cost assigned to units in ending inventory? 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Bill Johnson, the manager of Byford, is considering switching from weighted average to FIFO. Explain the key differences between the two approaches and make a recommendation to Bill about which method should be used.arrow_forward
- Use the following information for Brief Exercises 4-27 and 4-28: Quillen Company manufactures a product in a factory that has two producing departments, Cutting and Sewing, and two support departments, S1 and S2. The activity driver for S1 is number of employees, and the activity driver for S2 is number of maintenance hours. The following data pertain to Quillen: Brief Exercises 4-27 (Appendix 4B) Assigning Support Department Costs by Using the Direct Method Refer to the information for Quillen Company above. Required: 1. Calculate the cost assignment ratios to be used under the direct method for Departments S1 and S2. (Note: Each support department will have two ratiosone for Cutting and the other for Sewing.) 2. Allocate the support department costs to the producing departments by using the direct method.arrow_forwardAllocating selling and administrative expenses using activity-based costing Shrute Inc. manufactures office copiers, which are sold to retailers. The price and cost of goods sold for each copier are as follows: In addition, the company incurs selling and administrative expenses of 414,030. The company wishes to assign these costs to its three major retail customers, The Warehouse, Kosmo Co., and Supply Universe. These expenses are related to its three major nonmanufacturing activities: customer service, sales order processing, and advertising support. The advertising support is in the form of advertisements that are placed by Shrute Inc. to support the retailers sale of Shrute copiers to consumers. The budgeted activity costs and activity bases associated with these activities are: Activity-base usage and unit volume information for the three customers is as follows: Instructions Determine the activity rates for each of the three nonmanufacturing activities. Determine the activity costs allocated to the three customers, using the activity rates in (1). Construct customer profitability reports for the three customers, dated for the year ended December 31, using the activity costs in (2). The reports should disclose the gross profit and operating income associated with each customer. Provide recommendations to management, based on the profitability reports in (3).arrow_forwardThe following information concerns production in the Forging Department for June.
