FIFO Method, Two-Department Analysis
Muskoge Company uses a process-costing system. The company manufactures a product that is processed in two departments: Molding and Assembly. In the Molding Department, direct materials are added at the beginning of the process; in the Assembly Department, additional direct materials are added at the end of the process. In both departments, conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. As work is completed, it is transferred out. The following table summarizes the production activity and costs for February:

- Reducir, Inc., produces two different types of hydraulic cylinders. Reducir produces a major subassembly for the cylinders in the Cutting and Welding Department. Other parts and the subassembly are then assembled in the Assembly Department. The activities, expected costs, and drivers associated with these two manufacturing processes are given below. Note: In the assembly process, the materials-handling activity is a function of product characteristics rather than batch activity. Other overhead activities, their costs, and drivers are listed below. Other production information concerning the two hydraulic cylinders is also provided: Required: 1. Using a plantwide rate based on machine hours, calculate the total overhead cost assigned to each product and the unit overhead cost. 2. Using activity rates, calculate the total overhead cost assigned to each product and the unit overhead cost. Comment on the accuracy of the plantwide rate. 3. Calculate the global consumption ratios. 4. Calculate the consumption ratios for welding and materials handling (Assembly) and show that two drivers, welding hours and number of parts, can be used to achieve the same ABC product costs calculated in Requirement 2. Explain the value of this simplification. 5. Calculate the consumption ratios for inspection and engineering, and show that the drivers for these two activities also duplicate the ABC product costs calculated in Requirement 2.arrow_forwardFIFO Method, Two-Department Analysis Muskoge Company uses a process-costing system.

- A manufacturing company has two service and two production departments. Human Resources and Machine Repair are the service departments. The production departments are Grinding and Polishing. The following data have been estimated for next years operations: The direct charges identified with each of the departments are as follows: The human resources department services all departments of the company, and its costs are allocated using the numbers of employees within each department, while machine repair costs are allocable to Grinding and Polishing on the basis of machine hours. 1. Distribute the service department costs, using the direct method. 2. Distribute the service department costs, using the sequential distribution method, with the department servicing the greatest number of other departments distributed first.arrow_forwardA manufacturing company has two service and two production departments.

The price and cost of goods sold for each unit are as follows: In addition, the company incurs selling and administrative expenses of 226,250. The company wishes to assign these costs to its three major customers, Gough Industries, Breen Inc., and The Martin Group. These expenses are related to three major nonmanufacturing activities: customer service, project bidding, and engineering support. The engineering support is in the form of engineering changes that are placed by the customer to change the design of a product. The budgeted activity costs and activity bases associated with these activities are: Activity-base usage and unit volume information for the three customers is as follows: Instructions 1. Determine the activity rates for each of the three nonmanufacturing activity pools. 2. Determine the activity costs allocated to the three customers, using the activity rates in (1). 3. Construct customer profitability reports for the three customers, dated for the year ended December 31, using the activity costs in (2).

- Entries for materials cost flows in a process cost system The Hershey Company manufactures chocolate confectionery products. The three largest raw materials are cocoa, sugar, and dehydrated milk. These raw materials first go into the Blending Department. The blended product is then sent to the Molding Department, where the bars of candy are formed. The candy is then sent to the Packing Department, where the bars are wrapped and boxed. The boxed candy is then sent to the distribution center, where it is eventually sold to food brokers and retailers. Show the accounts debited and credited for each of the following business events: A. Materials used by the Blending Department B. Transfer of blended product to the Molding Department C. Transfer of chocolate to the Packing Department D. Transfer of boxed chocolate to the distribution center E. Sale of boxed chocolatearrow_forwardSupport activity cost allocation Jakes Gems mines and produces diamonds, rubies, and other gems. The gems are produced by way of the Mining and Cutting activities. These production activities are supported by the Maintenance and Security activities. Security costs are allocated to the production activities based on asset value. Maintenance costs are normally allocated based on machine hours. However, Maintenance costs typically correlate more with the number of service calls. Information regarding the activities is provided in the following table: Instructions 1. Should Maintenance costs continue to be allocated based on machine hours? Why would a different driver be more appropriate? 2. Based on your response to part (1), determine the total costs allocated from each support activity to the other activities using the reciprocal services method and the most appropriate cost driver for Maintenance. 3. Jakes Gems is considering cutting costs by switching to a simpler support activity cost allocation method. Using the information provided and given your response to part (2), determine if switching to the direct method would significantly alter the production activity costs.arrow_forwardCharlies Wood Works produces wood products (e.g., cabinets, tables, picture frames, and so on). Production departments include Cutting and Assembly. The Janitorial and Security departments support the Cutting and Assembly departments. The Assembly Department spans about 46,400 square feet and holds assets valued at about 60,000. The Cutting Department spans about 33,600 square feet and holds assets valued at about 140,000. Charlies Wood Works allocates support department costs using the direct method. If costs from the Janitorial Department are allocated based on square feet and costs from the Security Department are allocated based on asset value, determine (a) the percentage of Janitorial costs that should be allocated to the Assembly Department and (b) the percentage of Security costs that should be allocated to the Cutting Department.arrow_forward
