Work in Process—Forming

Beginning inventory, October 1 26,482
Direct materials 169,798
Conversion costs 162,400
Ending inventory ?

The Forming Department had 10,350 partially complete units in beginning work in process inventory. The department started work on 76,250 units during the month and ended the month with 8,600 units still in work in process. These unfinished units were? 60% complete as to direct materials but? 20% complete as to conversion work. The beginning balance of $26,482 consisted of $21,470 of direct materials and $5,012 of conversion costs.

Requirement

Journalize the transfer of costs to the Finishing Department. ?(Hint?: Complete the? five-step process costing procedure to determine how much cost to? transfer.)

We need to begin the? five-step process costing procedure by first summarizing the units to account for and computing the equivalent units.

Strategic Initiatives and CSR

Get Hitched Inc. is a production company that is in the process of testing a strategic initiative aimed at increasing gross profit. The company’s current sales revenue is $1,500,000. Currently, the company’s gross profit is 35% of sales, but the company’s target gross profit percentage is 40%. The company’s current monthly cost of production is $975,000. Of this cost, 50% is for labor, 30% is for materials, and 20% is for overhead.

The strategic initiative being tested at Get Hitched is a redesign of its production process that splits the process into two sequential procedures. The make up of the costs of production for Procedure 1 is currently 50% direct labor, 45% direct materials, and 5% overhead. The makeup of the costs of production for Procedure 2 is currently 50% direct labor, 20% direct materials, and 30% overhead. Company management estimates that Procedure 1 costs twice as much as Procedure 2.

1. Determine what the cost of labor, materials, and overhead for both Procedures 1 and 2 would need to be for the company to meet its target gross profit at the current level of sales.

Cost makeup of Procedure 1:

Direct Labor $

Overhead

Cost makeup of Procedure 2:

2. The company’s actual direct materials cost is $279,000 for Procedure 1. Determine the actual cost of direct labor, direct materials, and overhead for each procedure, and the total cost of production for each procedure.

Direct Labor $

Overhead

Cost makeup of Procedure 2:

Direct Labor $

3. The company is planning a CSR initiative to reuse some of the indirect materials used in production during Procedure 2. These indirect materials normally make up 50% of the overhead cost for Procedure 2, but the CSR initiative would reduce the usage of indirect materials. Determine what the maximum new cost of these indirect materials could be for Procedure 2 if this CSR initiative is expected to enable the company to meet its target gross profit percentage (holding all other costs constant).

A. The Green Company makes boats from wood. Job 489 is to build 40 rowboats.

Job 489 requires 1,000 pounds of wood costing $8 per pound. It requires 160 hours of direct labor costing $25 per hour. Also, use the following information about the company:

Total manufacturing overhead cost expected for all jobs during the whole year $400,000

Estimated direct labor hours for all jobs during the whole year 40,000

Calculate the following if the Green Company uses the traditional method of job order costing with one company-wide predetermined overhead rate using direct labor hours as the allocation base:

1. The predetermined overhead rate

2. The direct materials cost of job 489

3. The direct labor cost of job 489

4. The manufacturing overhead cost applied to job 489

5. The total cost of job 489

6. The cost per boat

Please make journal entries for the following transactions: of a manufacturing company:

B. The company purchased materials (both direct and indirect) on account (on credit) for $100,000

C. The company used $84,000 of direct materials.

D. The company used $7,000 of indirect materials.

E. The company incurred $50,000 of a liability (wages payable) for direct labor.

F. The company incurred $10,000 of a liability (wages payable) for indirect labor.

G. The company incurred $80,000 of manufacturing overhead, $15,000 of which was for depreciation on the factory machines and the rest was paid in cash.

H. The company allocated (applied) manufacturing overhead to various jobs using direct labor hours as the allocation base. The actual number of direct labor hours was 2,500 and the predetermined overhead rate was $34 per direct labor hour.

I. The cost of goods manufactured (finished) was $200,000.

J. Goods were sold on the account (on credit) for $400,000. The cost of the goods sold was $190,000.
