ACC202 EXAM 1

Smythe Inc., a manufacturing company, has provided the following data for the month of August. the balance in the work in process inventory account was $10,000 at the beginning of the month and $22,000 at the end of the month during the month, the company incurred direct materials cost of $63,000 and direct labor cost of $39,000. the actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $40,000. the manufacturing overhead cost applied to work in process was $43,000. the cost of goods manufactured for August was:

$63,000 (direct materials) + $39,000 (direct labor) + $43,000 (mfg overhead applied) + $10,000 (beg. work in process inventory) -$22,000 (end work in process inventory)

Bims Corporation uses the weighed-average method in its process costing system. the assembly department started with 2,000 units in its beginning work in process inventory that were 70% complete with respect to conversion costs. an additional 61,000 units were transferred in from the prior department during the month to begin processing in the assembly department. there were 18,000 units in the ending work in process inventory of the assembly department that were 60% complete with respect to conversion costs what were the equivalent units for conversion costs in the assembly department for the month?

2,000 (started) + 61,000 (transferred) - 18,000 (ending) =45,000 units transferred to the next department.... 45,000 ending work in process: conversion: (18,000 * 60%).... 10,800 equivalent units of production... =55,800

Saada Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. the fitting department is the second department in its production process. the data below summarize the departments operations in March beginning work in process inventory... 3700# 20% transferred in from the prior department. during March... 59,000# ending work in process inventory... 7,200# 60% the fitting departments cost per equivalent unit for conversion cost for March was $5.99 how much conversion cost was assigned to the units transferred out of the fitting department during March?

3,700 (beginning) + 59,000 (started) - 7,200 (ending) =55,500 units completed and transferred out: units transferred to the next department (a)... 55,500 cost per equivalent unit (b)... $5.99 cost of units completed and transferred out (a)*(b)... =$332,445

applied overhead

POHR * actual direct labor hours

fixed cost

a cost that remains constant, in total, regardless of changes in the level of the activity in total: total fixed cost is not affected by changes in the activity level within the relevant range per unit: fixed cost per unit decreases as the activity level rises and increase as the activity level falls

variable cost

a cost that varies, in total, in direct proportion to changes in the level of activity (constant) in total: total variable cost increase and decrease in proportion to changes in the activity level per unit: variable cost per unit remains constant

debit

actual

Lucas Corporation has provided data concerning the Companys manufacturing overhead account for the month of August. prior to the closing the overapplied or and underapplied balance of cost of goods sold, the total of the debits to the manufacturing overhead account was $50,000 and the total of the credits to the account was $72,000. which is true regarding this information?

actual manufacturing overhead for the month was $50,000 -consists of the actual manufacturing overhead for the month

manufacturing overhead applied

actual mfg over +/- overapplied or underapplied mfg overhead / POHR

overapplied/underapplied

actual mfg overhead incurred + mfg overhead applied to work in process

the cost of beginning inventory under the weighted-average method is

added in with current period costs in determining costs per equivalent unit for a given period

manufacturing overhead includes

all manufacturing costs except direct materials and direct labor. these costs cannot be readily traced to finished products

manufacturing overhead consists of

all manufacturing costs, except direct materials and direct labor

credit

applied

over applied manufacturing overhead occurs when

applied overhead exceeds actual overhead

differential costs (incremental costs)

are the difference in cost between any two alternatives

departmental POHR

assembly department predetermined overhead rate: -estimated fixed manufacturing overhead + estimated variable manufacturing overhead ($ per MH * # MHs) -estimated total manufacturing overhead cost (a) * estimated total machine-hours (b) manufacturing overhead applied to job: machining ($ MH * # MHs) + assembly ($MH * # MHs) selling price direct materials + direct labor + manufacturing overhead applied = total manufacturing cost + markup ( total mfg cost * %)

costs -raw materials purchases (product)--raw materials -direct labor (product)--work in process -manufacturing overhead (product)--work in process -selling and administrative (period)--income statement balance sheet -raw materials inventory -work in process inventory -finished goods inventory (goods sold) income statement -cost of goods sold -selling and administrative expenses

direct labor

costs are those labor costs that can be easily traced to individual units of product ex: wages paid to automobile assembly workers

in February, one of the processing departments at Whisenhunt Corporation had beginning work in process inventory of $35,000 and ending work in process inventory of $11,000. during the month, the cost of units transferred out from the department was $410,000. in the departments cost reconciliation report for February, the total cost to be accounted for would be:

costs to be accounted for as follows: cost of ending work in process inventory (a)... 11,000 cost of units transferred out (b)... 410,000 total cost account for (a)+(b)... =$421,000 **(ending+transferred out)

underapplied overhead

exists when the amount of overhead applied to jobs during the period using the predetermined overhead rate is LESS THAN the total amount of overhead actually incurred during the period

fixed cost per unit

fixed cost / #unit

direct labor-hours

fixed mfg overhead cost + (variable overhead cost per direct labor-hour * total direct labor-hours in the department

machine-hours

fixed mfg overhead cost + (variable overhead cost per machine hour * total machine-hours in the department)

sunk costs

have already been incurred and cannot be changed now in the future

in a job-order costing system, indirect materials that have been previously purchased and that are used in production are recorded as a debit to

manufacturing overhead

the actual manufacturing overhead incurred at Hogans Corporation during April was $59,000, while the mfg overhead applied to work in process was $74,000. the Companys cost of goods sold was $289,000 prior to closing out its manufacturing overhead account. the company closes out its manufacturing overhead account cost of goods sold. Which is a true statement regarding this information?

manufacturing overhead was over applied by $15,000; cost of goods sold after closing out the manufacturing overhead account was $274,000 =$289,000 (unadjusted COGS) - $15,000 (over applied mfg overhead)

equivalent units of production

units completed and transferred + equivalent units remaining in work in process (end)

equivalent units for a process costing system using the weighted-average method would be equal to

units completed during the period + equivalent units in the ending work in process inventory

weighted average method- units transferred to next department

units in beginning work in process + united started in production - units in end work in process units transferred to next department + ending work in process = equivalent units of production cost of beginning work in process inventory + cost added during the period = total cost total cost / equivalent units of product

weighted average method- cost of units completed and transferred out

units transferred to the next department * cosy per equivalent unit (materials + conversion)

Diston Company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. the first processing department, the Welding department, started the month with 18,000 units in its beginning work in process inventory that was 30% complete with respect to conversion costs. the conversion cost in this beginning work in process inventory was $44,820. an additional 90,000 units were started into production during the month. there were 21,000 units in the ending work in process inventory of the welding department that were 10% complete with respect to conversion costs. a total of $677,970 in conversion cost incurred in the department during the month. what would be the cost per unit for conversion costs for the month?

units transferred to the next department... 87,000 ending work in process: conversion: (21,000 * 10%)... 2,100 equivalent units of production... =89,100 cost of beginning work in process inventory... 44,820 cost added during the period... 677,970 total cost (a)... 722,790 equivalent units of product (b)... 89,100 cost per equivalent unit (a)/(b)... =$8.112

manufacturing overhead

utilities, factory + indirect labor + depreciate for product equipment

total cost

variable cost + fixed cost
