17-24 Weighted-average method, equivalent units. The assembly division of Quality Time Pieces, Inc. uses the weighted-average method of process costing. Consider the following data for the month of May 2017:
a Degree of completion: direct materials. 80%: conversion costs, 35%.
b Degree of completion: direct materials, 80%; conversion costs, 40%.
Compute equivalent units for direct materials and conversion costs. Show physical units in the first column of your schedule.

- Frenchys has three cost pools and an associated cost driver to allocate the costs to the product. The cost pools, cost driver, estimated overhead, and estimated activity for the cost pool are: What is the predetermined overhead rate for each activity?arrow_forwardTrail Outfitters has this information for its manufacturing: Its income statement under absorption costing is as follows: Prepare an income statement with variable costing and a reconciliation statement between both methods.arrow_forwardWhich is not a step In activity-based costing? A. identify the activities performed by the organization B. identify the cost driver(s) associated with each activity C. compute a cost rate per production D. assign costs to products by multiplying the cost driver rate by the volume of the cost driver units consumed by the productarrow_forward
- Customs has three cost pools and an associated cost driver to allocate the costs to the product. The cost pools, cost driver, estimated overhead, and estimated activity for the cost pool are: What is the predetermined overhead rate for each activity?arrow_forwardLacy, Inc., produces a subassembly used in the production of hydraulic cylinders. The subassemblies are produced in three departments: Plate Cutting, Rod Cutting, and Welding. Materials are added at the beginning of the process. Overhead is applied using the following drivers and activity rates: Other data for the Plate Cutting Department are as follows: Required: 1. Prepare a physical flow schedule. 2. Calculate equivalent units of production for: a. Direct materials b. Conversion costs 3. Calculate unit costs for: a. Direct materials b. Conversion costs c. Total manufacturing 4. Provide the following information: a. The total cost of units transferred out b. The journal entry for transferring costs from Plate Cutting to Welding c. The cost assigned to units in ending inventoryarrow_forwardHappy Trails has this information for its manufacturing: Â Its income statement under absorption costing is: Prepare an income statement with variable costing and a reconciliation statement between both methods.arrow_forward
- Electan Company produces two types of printers. The company uses ABC, and all activity drivers are duration drivers. Electan Company is considering using DBC and has gathered the following data to help with its decision. A. Activities with duration drivers: B. Activities with consumption ratios and costs: C. Products with cycle time and practical capacity: Required: 1. Using cycle time and practical capacity for each product, calculate the total time for all primary activities. Comment on the relationship to ABC. 2. Calculate the overhead rate that DBC uses to assign costs. Comment on the relationship to a unit-based plantwide overhead rate. 3. Use the overhead rate calculated in Requirement 2 to calculate (a) the overhead cost per unit for each product, and (b) the total overhead assigned to each product. How does this compare to the ABC assignments shown in Part B of the Information set? 4. What if the units actually produced were 10,000 for Printer A and 18,000 for Printer B. Using DBC, calculate the cost of unused capacity.arrow_forwardAssuming that all materials are added at the beginning of the process and that labor and factory overhead are applied evenly during the process, compute the figures to be inserted in the blank spaces of the following data, using the weighted average cost method. [Hint: for best success in solving each Case, solve them in numerical order starting with (1)]arrow_forwardRex Industries has identified three different activities as cost drivers: machine setups, machine hours, and inspections. The overhead and estimated usage are: Compute the overhead rate for each activity.arrow_forward
- The cost behavior patterns below are lettered A through H. The vertical axes of the graphs represent total dollars of expense, and the horizontal axes represent production in units, machine hours, or direct labor hours. In each case, the zero point is at the intersection of the two axes. Each graph may be used no more than once. Required: Select the graph that matches the lettered cost described here. a. Depreciation of equipmentthe amount of depreciation charged is computed based on the number of machine hours that the equipment was operated. b. Electricity billflat fixed charge, plus a variable cost after a certain number of kilowatt hours are used. c. City water billcomputed as follows: d. Depreciation of equipmentthe amount is computed by the straight-line method. e. Rent on a factory building donated by the citythe agreement calls for a fixed fee payment, unless 200,000 labor hours are worked, in which case no rent need be paid. f. Salaries of repair workersone repair worker is needed for every 1,000 machine hours or less (i.e., 0 to 1,000 hours requires one repair worker, 1,001 to 2,000 hours requires two repair workers, etc.).arrow_forwardusing the FIFO method of process costing. Explain any difference between the cost per equivalent unit in the assembly department under the weighted-average method and the FIFO method. Q. Should Hoffman’s managers choose the weighted-average method or the FIFO method? Explain briefly.arrow_forwardUnit-based product costing assigns direct labor, direct materials, and overhead to products. Direct materials and direct labor are assigned using direct tracing. Assignment of overhead costs, however, relies on driver tracing and perhaps allocation. Unit-based costing first assigns overhead costs to a functional unit, creating plant or departmental cost pools. Next these pooled costs are assigned to products using predetermined overhead rates based on unit-level drivers. Unit-level drivers measure the demands placed on ........?.......Unit-level activities are those that are performed each and every time:......?........ . From the dropdown below, select all unit-level drivers:.........?........... Goodmark Company produces two products: scented and regular birthday cards. Goodmark uses a plantwide rate based on direct labor hours. The estimated and actual data for the coming year are provided below: estimated overhead $720,000 Expected activity(direct labor hours) 180,000 actual…arrow_forward
