Grand Devices Corporation assembles handheld computers that have scaled-down capabilities of laptop computers. Each handheld computer takes 6 hours to assemble. Grand Devices uses a JIT production system and a backflush costing system with three trigger points:
■ Purchase of direct materials
■ Completion of good finished units of product
■ Sale of finished goods
There are no beginning inventories of materials or finished goods and no beginning or ending work-inprocess inventories. The following data are for August 2017:
Direct materials purchased = $2,958,000
Conversion costs incurred =$777,600
Direct materials used = $2,937,600
Conversion costs allocated = $806,400
Grand Devices records direct materials purchased and conversion costs incurred at actual costs. It has no direct materials variances. When finished goods are sold, the backflush costing system “pulls through” standard direct materials cost ($102 per unit) and
Assume the same facts , except that Grand Devices now uses a backflush costing system with the following two trigger points for making entries in the accounting system:
■ Purchase of direct materials
■ Sale of finished goods
The Inventory Control account will include direct materials purchased but not yet in production, materials in work in process, and materials in finished goods but not sold. No conversion costs are inventoried. Any under- or overallocated conversion costs are written off monthly to Cost of Goods Sold.

Direct materials are added at the initiation of the production cycle and must be bundled in single kits for each unit. Conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the production cycle. Before inspection, some units are spoiled due to non-detectible materials defects. Inspection occurs when units are 50% converted. Spoiled units generally constitute 4% of the good units. Data for December 2015 are as follows: WIP, beginning inventory 12/1/2015 22,000 units Direct materials (100% complete) Conversion costs (75% complete) Started during December 76,000 units Completed and transferred out 12/31/2015 72,000 units WIP, ending inventory 12/31/2015 18,000 units Direct materials (100% complete) Conversion costs (65% complete) Costs for December: WIP, beginning Inventory: Direct…arrow_forwardHelix Company produces costumes used in the television and movie industries. Recently the company received an ongoing order for Samurai robes to be worn in an upcoming Japanese historical action series made for television. The company uses a standard costing system to assist in the control of costs. According to the standards set for these robes, the factory has a denominator activity level of 780 direct labour-hours each month, which should result in the production of 1,950 robes. The standard costs associated with this level of production are as follows: Per Unit Direct materials Total $ 35,490 of Product $18.20 Direct labour $ 7,020 3.60 Variable manufacturing overhead* Fixed manufacturing overhead* $ 2,340 1.20 $ 4,680 2.40 $25.40 *Based on direct labour-hours During April, the factory worked only 760 direct labour-hours and produced 2,000 robes.

- A Chair Company manufactures a standard recliner. During February, the firm's Assembly Department started production of 75,000 chairs. During the month, the firm completed 85,000 chairs, and transferred them to the Finishing Department. The firm ended the month with 15,000 chairs in ending inventory. All direct materials are added at the beginning of the production cycle. How many chairs were in inventory at the beginning of the month? Using weighted-average costing, what were the equivalent units for materials for February? Using FIFO costing, what were the equivalent units for direct materials for February?
