Lean Principles
Bright Night, Inc., manufactures light bulbs. Its purchasing policy requires that the purchasing agents place each quarter’s purchasing requirements out for bid. This is because the Purchasing Department is evaluated solely by its ability to get the lowest purchase prices. The lowest bidder receives the order for the next quarter (90 working days).
To make its bulb products, Bright Night requires 52,200 pounds of glass per quarter. Bright Night received two glass bids for the third quarter, as follows:
Bright Night accepted Central Glass Company’s bid because it was the low-cost bid.
1. A manufacturing company gets quotes from each supplier and allocates the purchase order to the company which quotes the lowest price with the expected quality. Is this process effective in long run? Identify reason that supports the answer.
Reason:
2. A manufacturing company gets quotes from each supplier and allocates the purchase order to the company which quotes the lowest price with the expected quality. Are there any additional costs that are involved in bulk purchase for the quarter? Identify reason that supports the answer.
Reason:
3. Considering only inventory financing costs,
what is the additional cost per pound of Central Glass Company’s
bid if the annual cost of money is 8%? (Hint: Determine
the average value of glass inventory held for the quarter and
multiply by the quarterly interest charge, then divide by the
number of pounds.) Round to the nearest
cent.

Lean Accounting
Dashboard Inc. manufactures and assembles automobile instrument panels for both eCar Motors and Greenville Motors. The process consists of a lean product cell for each customer’s instrument assembly. The data that follow concern only the eCar lean cell.
For the year, Dashboard Inc. budgeted the following costs for
the eCar production cell:
Conversion Cost Categories | Budget | ||
Labor | $800,000 | ||
Supplies | 275,000 | ||
Utilities | 325,000 | ||
Total | $1,400,000 |
Dashboard Inc. plans 2,000 hours of production for the eCar cell for the year. The materials cost is $240 per instrument assembly. Each assembly requires 24 minutes of cell assembly time. There was no April 1 inventory for either Raw and In Process Inventory or Finished Goods Inventory.
The following summary events took place in the eCar cell during April:
a. Electronic parts and wiring were purchased to produce 450
instrument assemblies in April.
b. Conversion costs were applied for the production of 400 units in
April.
c. 380 units were started, completed, and transferred to finished
goods in April.
d. 350 units were shipped to customers at a price of $800 per
unit.
Required:
1. Determine the budgeted cell conversion cost
per hour.
$ per hour
2. Determine the budgeted cell conversion cost
per unit.
$ per unit
3. Journalize the summary transactions (a) through (d). If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
a. | |||
b. | |||
c. | |||
d. Sale | |||
d. Cost | |||
4. Determine the ending balance in Raw and In Process Inventory and Finished Goods Inventory.
Raw and In Process Inventory: | $ |
Finished Goods Inventory: | $ |
5. Lean accounting is different from traditional accounting because it is more and uses control. As a result, the number of transactions are . In many lean operations, purchased materials are charged to a . Direct labor is . Often, nonfinancial performance measures, such as , are used to monitor performance.

Lean Principles
1.no,
the policy of the company is not practically viable as it is not building long term relationship with its suppliers .The reputation of the company may affected
2.yes,
the cost of storage, obsolescence, material management and wastages are ignored in this concept
3. cost per pound =$23
annual cost of money =8%
quarterly cost of money =2%
material received at begining of quarter =52200 pounds
average inventory held for quarter = average inventory * cost per pound
=26100*$23 =$600300
additional cost per pound = (average value of inventory * quarterly cost of money) / number of pounds
=($600300 *2%) / 52200
=$0.23 per pound
Lean Accounting
1.Budgeted cell conversion cost per hour =700 (1400000/2000)
2.Budgeted cell conversion cost per unit =280 (24/60*700)
