Steps in Preparing a Production Report

Recently, Stillwater Designs expanded its market by becoming an original equipment supplier to Jeep Wrangler. Stillwater Designs produces factory upgraded speakers specifically for Jeep Wrangler. The Kicker components and speaker cabinets are outsourced with assembly remaining in house. Stillwater Designs assembles the product by placing the speakers and other components in cabinets that define an audio package upgrade and that can be placed into the Jeep Wrangler, producing the desired factory-installed appearance. Speaker cabinets and associated Kicker components are added at the beginning of the assembly process.

Assume that Stillwater Designs uses the weighted average method to cost out the audio package. The following are cost and production data for the assembly process for April:

Production:
Units in process, April 1, 60% complete		60,000
Units completed and transferred out		150,000
Units in process, April 30, 20% complete		30,000
Costs:
WIP, April 1:
	Cabinets	$1,200,000
	Kicker components	12,600,000
	Conversion costs	5,400,000
Costs added during April:
	Cabinets	$2,400,000
	Kicker components	25,200,000
	Conversion costs	8,640,000

Required:

1. Prepare a physical flow analysis for the assembly department for the month of April.
