Franklin, Inc. uses activity-based costing to account for its chrome bumper manufacturing process. Company managers have identified four manufacturing activities:
materials handling, machine setup, insertion of parts, and finishing. The budgeted activity costs for 2018 and their allocation bases are as follows:
Activity Total Budgeted Cost Allocation Base
Materials handling \( 12,000 Number of parts
Machine setup 3,100 Number of setups
Insertion of parts 42,000 Number of parts
Finishing 86,000 Finishing direct labor hours
Total \) 143,100
Franklin expects to produce 500 chrome bumpers during the year. The bumpers are expected to use 4,000 parts, require 10 setups, and consume 1,000 hours of finishing time.
Requirements
2. Compute the expected indirect manufacturing cost of each bumper.
Koehler makes handheld calculators in two models: basic and professional. Koehler estimated $721,000 of manufacturing overhead and 515,000 machine hours for the year. The basic model actually consumed 230,000 machine hours, and the professional model consumed 285,000 machine hours.
Compute the predetermined overhead allocation rate using machine hours (MHr) as the allocation base. How much overhead is allocated to the basic model? To the professional model?
Question:High Mountain produces fleece jackets. The company uses JIT costing for its JIT production system.
High Mountain has two inventory accounts: Raw and In-Process Inventory and
Finished Goods Inventory. On April 1, 2018, the account balances were Raw and In-Process Inventory, \(10,000; Finished Goods Inventory, \)2,100.
The standard cost of a jacket is \(33, composed of \)12 direct materials plus \(21
conversion costs. Data for April鈥檚 activities follow:
Number of jackets completed 19,000
Number of jackets sold (on account for \)50 each) 18,600
Direct materials purchased (on account) \( 220,500
Conversion costs incurred \) 500,000
Requirements
1. What are the major features of a JIT production system such as that of High Mountain?
2. Prepare summary journal entries for April. Underallocated or overallocated
conversion costs are adjusted to Cost of Goods Sold monthly.
3. Use a T-account to determine the April 30, 2018, balance of Raw and In-ProcessInventory.
List and define the four types of quality costs.
Question:Low Range produces fleece jackets. The company uses JIT costing for its JIT production system.
Low Range has two inventory accounts: Raw and In-Process Inventory and
Finished Goods Inventory. On March 1, 2018, the account balances were Raw and In-Process Inventory, \(9,000; Finished Goods Inventory, \)1,700.
The standard cost of a jacket is \(40, composed of \)12 direct materials plus \(28 conversion costs. Data for March鈥檚 activities follow:
Number of jackets completed 15,000
Number of jackets sold (on account, for \)50 each) 14,600
Direct materials purchased (on account) \( 177,500
Conversion costs incurred \) 521,000
Requirements
2. Prepare summary journal entries for March. Underallocated or overallocated conversion costs are adjusted to Cost of Goods Sold monthly.
