Your company has received an order for 20 units of aproduct. Th e labor cost to produce the item is $9.50 per hour. Th esetup cost for the item is $60 and material costs are $25 per unit. Th e item is sold for $92. Th e learning rate is 80 percent. Overheadis assessed at a rate of 55 percent of unit labor cost.(a) Determine the average unit cost for the 20 units if the fi rstunit takes four hours.(b) Determine the minimum number of units that need to bemade before the selling price meets or exceeds the averageunit cost.

The Beacon Hills High School entered into a contract with Beacon Printing Services which stipulates that the latter shall produce 10,000 sets of modules to be distributed to learners during the 1st quarter of the school year. The contract further states that Beacon Printing Services shall charge Beacon Hills High School at 20% above cost. Overhead costs are applied at the rate of P 10.00 per hour. After the job was completed, it was found out that 2,000 sets were determined to be spoiled due to significant errors.
Fortunately, the 2,000 spoiled sets can be sold to a scrap buyer for P 3.00 per set. Direct costs charged to the job are:
Materials – P 300,000 and Direct Labor (P15.00 per hour) – P 60,000. Only 8,000 sets were delivered to Beacon Hills High School.
FIND:
How much should be charged to Work In Process to record production cost?

- Sample Exercise opens EA2. Rene is working with the operations manager to determine what the standard labor cost is for a spice chest. He has watched the process from start to finish and taken detailed notes on what each employee does. The first employee selects and mills the wood, so it is smooth on all four sides. This takes the employee 1 hour for each chest. The next employee takes the wood and cuts it to the proper size. This takes 30 minutes. The next employee assembles and sands the chest. Assembly takes 2 hours. The chest then goes to the finishing department. It takes 1.5 hours to finish the chest. All employees are cross-trained so they are all paid the same amount per hour, $17.50.
