The Devon Motor Company produces automobiles. On April 1st the company had no beginning inventories and it purchased 8,000 batteries at a cost of $80 per battery. It withdrew 7,600 batteries from the storeroom during the month. Of these, 100 were used to replace batteries in cars being used by the company’s travelling sales staff. The remaining 7,500 batteries withdrawn from the storeroom were placed in cars being produced by the company. Of the cars in production during April, 90 percent were completed and transferred from work in process to finished goods. Of the cars completed during the month, 30 percent were unsold at April 30th.

Introduction To Managerial Accounting
- Dura-Conduit Corporation manufactures plastic conduit that is used in the cable industry. A conduit is a tube that encircles and protects the underground cable. In the process for making the plastic conduit, called extrusion, the melted plastic (resin) is pressed through a die to form a tube. Scrap is produced in this process. Information from the cost of production reports for three months is as follows, assuming that inventory remains constant: Assume that there is one-half pound of resin per foot of the finished product. a. Determine the resin materials cost per foot of finished product for each month. Round to the nearest whole cent. b. Determine the ratio of the number of resin pounds output in conduit by the number of pounds input into the process for each month. Round percentages to one decimal place. c. Interpret the resin materials cost per foot for the three months. Use the information in (a) and (b) to explain what is happening. d. Determine the conversion cost per foot of finished product for each month and interpret the result.arrow_forwardPetrillo Company produces engine parts for large motors. The company uses a standard cost system for production costing and control. The standard cost sheet for one of its higher volume products (a valve) is as follows: During the year, Petrillo had the following activity related to valve production: a. Production of valves totaled 20,600 units. b. A total of 135,400 pounds of direct materials was purchased at 5.36 per pound. c. There were 10,000 pounds of direct materials in beginning inventory (carried at 5.40 per pound). There was no ending inventory. d. The company used 36,500 direct labor hours at a total cost of 656,270. e. Actual fixed overhead totaled 110,000. f. Actual variable overhead totaled 168,000. Petrillo produces all of its valves in a single plant. Normal activity is 20,000 units per year. Standard overhead rates are computed based on normal activity measured in standard direct labor hours. Required: 1. Compute the direct materials price and usage variances. 2. Compute the direct labor rate and efficiency variances. 3. Compute overhead variances using a two-variance analysis. 4. Compute overhead variances using a four-variance analysis. 5. Assume that the purchasing agent for the valve plant purchased a lower-quality direct material from a new supplier. Would you recommend that the company continue to use this cheaper direct material? If so, what standards would likely need revision to reflect this decision? Assume that the end products quality is not significantly affected. 6. Prepare all possible journal entries (assuming a four-variance analysis of overhead variances).arrow_forwardDuring the week of June 12, Harrison Manufacturing produced and shipped 15,000 units of its aluminum wheels: 3,000 units of Model A and 12,000 units of Model B. The following costs were incurred: Required: 1. Assume initially that the value-stream costs and total units shipped apply only to one model (a single-product value stream). Calculate the unit cost, and comment on its accuracy. 2. Calculate the unit cost for Models A and B, and comment on its accuracy. Explain the rationale for using units shipped instead of units produced in the calculation. 3. What if Model A is responsible for 40 percent of the materials cost? Show how the unit cost would be adjusted for this condition.arrow_forward

During the most recent month, there was no opening inventory. During the month, 25 million bottles were entered into production and 24 million were completed The units in ending inventory were 100% complete with respect to materials costs and 60% complete with respect to conversion costs. During the month, materials costs were $500,000 and conversion costs were $246,000. Do not round intermediate calculations. a) What was the number of equivalent units work done for conversion costs this month? 24,600,000 b) What was the cost per equivalent unit of conversion cost this month? Round answer to three decimal places. $ 0.01 c) What is the cost that will be allocated to units completed and transferred out? Round answer to nearest whole dollar amount. $ 240,000 d) What is the cost that will be allocated to ending work in process? Round answer to nearest whole dollar amount. $ 6,000 Xarrow_forward
