The Refining Department of Crystal Cane Sugar, Inc. had 66,000 tons of sugar to account for in December. Of the 66,000 tons, 50,000 tons were completed and transferred to the Boiling Department, and the remaining 16,000 tons were 60% complete. The materials required for production are added at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are added equally throughout the refining process. The weighted−average method is used. Calculate the total equivalent units of production for conversion costs.
tons were completed and transferred + (Renaming tons x %complete) 50000 + (16000 x .6) = 59600
The Assembly Department of ByteSize, Inc., manufacturer of computers, incurred $260,000 in direct material costs and $80,000 in conversion costs.

Enlighten Services, Inc., a management consulting firm, has been using a single predetermined overhead allocation rate with direct labor hours as the allocation base to allocate overhead costs. The direct labor rate is $50 per hour. Miriam Levy, the president of Enlighten, decided to develop an ABC system to accurately allocate the indirect costs. She identified two activities related to the total indirect costs—travel and information technology (IT) support. The other relevant details are given below: Activity, Allocation base, Estimated costs, Estimated quantity of allocation base Travel, Miles driven, $76,000, 3,000 miles IT Support, Direct labor hours, $56,000, 1,050 DLHr Total $132,000 During the current month, Enlighten's consultants spent 150 labor hours for Malka, Inc. The job required the professionals to travel 450 miles in total. Determine the total cost of the consulting job using the ABC system. (Round any intermediate calculations to the nearest cent and your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Cost Per Mile = 76000 / 3000 = $25.33 Cost Per DLHr = 56000 / 1050 = $53.33 Total Travel Cost = 450 x 25.33 = $11,398.50 Total IT support cost = 150 x 53.33 = $7,999.50 Direct Labor Cost = 150 x 50 = $7,500 Total Cost = 11398.5 + 7999.5 + 7500 = $26,898
The Assembly Department of Protocol, Inc., manufacturer of computers, incurred $270,000 in direct material costs and $90,000 in conversion costs. The equivalent units of production for direct materials and conversion costs are 1,500 and 600, respectively. The weighted−average method is used. The cost per equivalent unit of production for direct materials is ________. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
Cost per equivalent units = Material cost / Equivalent production units 270000 / 1500 = 180 $180.00
All of the following are the result of producing poor−quality products except
Decreased Costs, as poor quality products will increase costs due to increased wastage.
Accurate Tax Returns budgets two direct labor hours for every tax return that it prepares, at a standard cost of $30 an hour. During the most recent year, 550 returns were completed with the labor cost totaling $22,000. The actual labor cost was $40.00 per hour during that period. The actual number of labor hours was 1,100. What is the direct labor cost variance?
Direct labor cost variance = (Standard Rate * Actual Returns) - (Actual Rate * Actual Returns) Standard Rate = 30 x 2 = 60 Actual Rate = 40 x 2 = 80 (60 x 550) - (80 x 550) = 11,000 U
Devon Company has collected the following data for one of its products: Direct materials standard (44 pounds @ $11/lb.) $4 per unit Direct materials flexible budget variance—unfavorable $14,000 Actual direct materials used 100,000 pounds Actual units produced 19,000 units What is the direct materials efficiency variance?
Direct materials efficiency variance = ( Standard quantity for actual production - Actual Quantity ) * Standard rate = ( 19000 * 4 - 100000 ) * 1 = $ 24000 ( unfavourable )

Darius Manufacturing, Inc. provided the following information for the year: Purchases—Direct Materials $91,000 Plant Utilities and Insurance $68,000 Indirect Materials Used $11,970 Indirect Labor $4,590 Direct Materials Used in Production $97,000 Direct Labor $118,500 Depreciation on Factory Plant and Equipment $5,000 Cost of Goods Manufactured $290,000 The inventory account balances as of January 1 are given below. Direct Materials $41,000 Work-in-Process Inventory $1,300 Finished Goods Inventory $49,500 What is the ending balance in the Work-in-Process Inventory account?
Ending balance in the Work-in-Process Inventory account = Inventory Jan 1 + Direct Materials Used in Production + Direct Labor + Depreciation on Factory P&E + Plant Utilities and Insurance + Indirect Materials Used + Indirect Labor - Cost of Goods Manufactured 1300 + 97000 + 118500 + 5000 + 68000 + 11970 + 4590 - 290000 = $16,360
Zelia, Inc. has prepared the operating budget for the first quarter of the year. The company forecast sales of $50,000 in January, $60,000 in February, and $70,000 in March. Variable and fixed expenses are as follows: Variable Expenses: Power cost (30% of sales) Miscellaneous expenses: (10% of sales) Fixed Expenses: Salaries expense: $6,000 per month Rent expense: $4,000 per month Depreciation expense: $1,400 per month Power cost/fixed portion: $600 per month Miscellaneous expenses/fixed portion: $1,000 per month Using the information above, calculate the amount of budgeted selling and administrative expenses for the month of February.
Forecast sales in February = 60000 Variable: Power cost (30% of Sales)= 0.30*60000 = $18,000 Miscellaneous expenses: (10% of Sales) = 0.1*60000 = $6,000 Fixed: Salary expense = $6,000 Rent expense = $4,000 Depreciation expense = $1,400 Power cost/fixed portion = $600 Miscellaneous expenses/fixed portion = $1,000 Selling and administrative expenses for the month of February = 18000 + 6000 + 6000 + 4000 + 1400 + 600 + 1000 = $37,000
Tranquility Company manufactures ceiling fans and uses an activity−based costing system. Each ceiling fan has 20 separate parts. The direct materials cost is $95 and each ceiling fan requires 2.5 hours of machine time to manufacture. There is no direct labor. Additional information is as follows: Activity, Allocation Base, Predetermined Overhead Allocation Rate Materials handling, Number of parts, $0.05 Machining, Machine hours, 8 Assembling, Number of parts, 0.25 Packaging, Number of finished units, 3.8 What is the total manufacturing cost per ceiling fan? (Round any intermediate calculations and your final answer to the nearest cent.)
Material handling costs = Number of parts × Predetermined overhead allocation rate Machining costs = Machine hours × Predetermined overhead allocation rate Assembling costs = Number of parts × Predetermined overhead allocation rate Total manufacturing costs = Direct material + Material handling + Machining + Assembling + Packaging 20 x .05 = 1 2.5 x 8 = 20 20 x .25 = 5 95 + 1 + 20 + 5 + 3.8 = 124.8 $124.80

Operating Income = Sales Revenue - Variable CoGS - Fixed CoGS - Variable SaAC - Fixed SaAC 900000 - 120000 - 50000 - 150000 - 65000 = 515000 $515,000

Lakeside, Inc. estimated manufacturing overhead costs for the year at $375,000, based on 183,000 estimated direct labor hours. Actual direct labor hours for the year totaled 193,000. The manufacturing overhead account contains debit entries totaling $392,000. The Manufacturing Overhead for the year was ________. (Round any intermediate calculations to two decimal places, and your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Predetermined OHAR = 375000 / 183000 =2.05 Manufacturing OHC = 193000 x 2.05 = 395650 MOH = 395650 - 392000 = 3,650
A radial tire manufacturer produces products in two departments—Divisions A and B. The company uses separate predetermined overhead allocation rates for each department to allocate its overhead. Divisions A and B have estimated manufacturing overhead costs of $160,000 and $340,000, respectively. Division A uses machine hours as the allocation base, and Division B uses direct labor hours as the allocation base. The total estimated machine hours were 30,000, and direct labor hours were 22,000 for the year. Calculate the departmental predetermined overhead allocation rates. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
Predetermined overhead allocation rate = Overhead cost / Machine Hours A- 160000/30000 = 5.33 B- 340000/22000 = 15.45
