Matrix Inc. calculates cost for an equivalent unit of production using both the weighted-average and the FIFO methods.

Data for July:
Work-in-process inventory, July 1 (36,000 units):
    Direct materials (100% completed) $122,400
    Conversion (50% completed)     76,800
    Balance in work in process inventory, July 1 $199,200
Units started during July 90,000
Units completed and transferred 102,000
Work-in-process inventory, July 31:
     Direct materials (100% completed) 24,000
     Conversion (50% completed)
Cost incurred during July:
     Direct materials $180,000
     Conversion costs 288,000


The cost of goods completed and transferred out under the weighted-average method is calculated to be:

Read the scenario below, and address the subsequent requirements.

Emma is the plant manager of an electronics company. Plant managers are paid a salary and get an additional bonus equal to 5% of their base salary if their division meets or exceeds target profits for the year. The bonus is determined after the company’s annual financial report has been prepared and issued to shareholders.

Emma’s division uses a process costing system where the estimate of the percentage completion of ending work in process inventories affects the unit costs of finished goods and therefore the cost of goods sold. (All units completed and transferred out of the final processing department were sold.)

Emma just received preliminary profit figures for her division which show it is within $200,000 of making the year’s target profits. To earn her bonus, Emma simply needs to convince James, her lead production supervisor, to increase the estimate of the percentage complete of ending work in process inventory. James has already submitted the percentage completion figures to corporate headquarters.

In your post, address the following questions:

  1. What are the ethical issues in this process costing environment? What are the risks?

  2. Do you think Joe should go along with Emma's request to alter estimates of the percentage completion? Why or why not?

In conducting interviews and observing factory operations to implement an activity-based costing system, you determine that several activities are unnecessary or redundant. For example, warehouse personnel were inspecting purchased components as they were received at the loading dock. Later that day, the components were inspected again on the shop floor before being installed in the final product. Both of these activities caused costs to be incurred but were not adding value to the product. If you include this observation in your report, one or more employees who perform inspections will likely lose their jobs.

Questions

  1. As a plant employee, what is your responsibility to report your findings to superiors?
  2. Should you attempt to determine if the redundancy is justified? Explain.
  3. What is your responsibility to the employees whose jobs will likely be lost by your report?
  4. What facts should you consider before making your decision to report or not?
