Atlantic manufacturing company uses process costing. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. The company uses weighted average method in measuring unit costs. There are 100,000 units in the beginning work-in-process in the month of May (The company started its production in late April and did not finish producing any unit). The conversion work is 70% complete. The costs of beginning WIP are $1,250,000, including $100,000 of input of materials ($1 per EU), and $140,000 for labor...

Atlantic Manufacturing Company uses process costing. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. The normal spoilage rate is calculated as 10% of good units completed.   The cost of the beginning work-in-process in the month of May is $3,000,000, including $1,600,000 of input of materials, 100,000 units, and $1,400,000 for conversion costs. The beginning work-in-process is 70% complete.   During May, the input includes $7,400,000 for materials, 800,000 units started and $4,190,000 for conversion costs. There were 700,000 good...

Two types of flaws may occur during the fabrication of steel beams: (1) the inclusions of small quantity of foreign matter “slag”; and (2) the existence of microscopic cracks. It has been found by careful laboratory investigation that for a certain size I-beam from a given fabricator, the mean distance between microscopic cracks is 40 feet along the beam, whereas the slag inclusions exist with an average rate of four (4) per 100 ft. of the beam. Each of these...

In a manufacturing process, stainless steel cylinders (AISI 304) initially at 600K are quenched by submersion in an oil bath maintained at 300K with h=500W/m2-K. Each cylinder is of length 2L=60 mm and diameter D=80mm. Consider a time 3 min into the cooling process and determine the temperatures at the center of the cylinder, at the center of the circular face and at the mid height of the site. (Use the Heisler charts to answer these questions). You may evaluate...
