Manufacturing Process Information
“Spartan Cases, Inc." started a small manufacturing plant that fabricates Aluminum Cases. The manufacturing process starts by acquiring aluminum from raw materials, molds them into the case form and then transfers them to finished goods. This process is completely automated.
Direct material Aluminum is added 100% at the beginning of the process.
Conversion costs are added equally throughout the process. Conversion is 60% complete for the beginning inventory work in process and 60% complete for the ending inventory work in process.
At the beginning of the accounting period, "Spartan Cases, Inc." estimated that production would be 2,300 cases. Estimated factory
Estimated and actual direct labor costs totaled $8,234.40.
Actual
The following information is available concerning the direct materials.
Direct Materials: Aluminum
Beginning inventory…….500 pounds @ $2.00 per unit.
Purchase of Aluminum….3,000 pounds @ $2.00 per unit.
Ending Inventory………..1,700 pounds @ $2.00 per unit.
One pound of aluminum makes 1 Aluminum case. 1,800 cases were started.
The work in process account has the following information:
Beginning Work in Process contains 500 Aluminum Cases with a cost transferred in of $3,814.00. Ending work in process contains 300 Aluminum Cases.
The finished goods account has the following Information:
Beginning Finished Goods….300 Aluminum Cases @ $12 each =$3,600
Ending Finished Goods……..400 Aluminum Cases
Tax rate is 30%
The selling price of the case is $100 per case and 1,900 cases were sold. Selling and Administrative Costs totaled $2,500 and the tax rate is 30%.
Prepare an equivalent units schedule. The schedule should follow the following format:
Whole Units | Equivalent Units | |||
(Actual) | Direct Materials Aluminum | Conversion Costs | ||
Beginning | XXX | XXX | XXX | |
Start/Completed | XXX | XXX | XXX | |
Completed/Transferred Out | XXX | XXX | XXX | |

- Equivalent Units of Conversion Costs The Filling Department of Ivy Cosmetics Company had 4,100 ounces in beginning work in process inventory (80% complete). During the period, 51,800 ounces were completed. The ending work in process inventory was 3,600 ounces (40% complete). What are the total equivalent units for conversion costs? Feedback X units Check My Work Are you determining the equivalent units of materials added or of conversion of materials? When would materials typically be added in the process? When would conversion of these materials take place? Recall the definition of work in process.arrow_forwardCompute Lead Time Jackson Fabricators Inc. machines metal parts for the automotive industry. Under the traditional manufacturing approach, the parts are machined through two processes: milling and finishing. Parts are produced in batch sizes of 90 parts. A part requires 4 minutes in milling and 8 minutes in finishing. The move time between the two operations for a complete batch is 9 minutes. Under the lean philosophy, the part is produced in a cell that includes both the milling and finishing operations. The operating time is unchanged; however, the batch size is reduced to 3 parts and the move time is eliminated. Determine the value-added, non-value-added, and total lead times, and the value-added ratio under the traditional and lean manufacturing methods. If required, round percentages to one decimal place.

There are three processing departments—Mixing, Refining, and Packaging. On January 1, the first department—Mixing—had no beginning inventory. During January, 50,000 fl. oz. of chemicals were started in production. Of these, 42,000 fl. oz. were completed, and 8,000 fl. oz. remained in process. In the Mixing Department, all direct materials are added at the beginning of the production process, and conversion costs are applied evenly throughout the process. The weighted−average method is used. At the end of January, the equivalent unit data for the Mixing Department were as follows: UNITS Equivalent Units Equivalent Units Units to be accounted for Direct Materials Costs Conversion Costs Completed and transferred out 42,000 42,000 42,000 Ending work−in−process* 8,000 8,000 3,200 50,000 50,000 45,200 * Percent complete for…arrow_forward
