Ocean Worthy uses three processes to manufacture lifts for personal watercraft: forming a lift’s parts from galvanized steel, assembling the lift, and testing the completed lift. The lifts are transferred to Finished Goods Inventory before shipment to marinas across the country.
Ocean Worthy’s Testing Department requires no direct materials. Conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the testing process. Other information follows for the month of August:
The cost transferred into Finished Goods Inventory is the cost of the lifts transferred out of the Testing Department. Ocean Worthy uses Weighted-average process costing.
Requirements
Prepare a production cost report for the Testing Department.
What is the cost per unit for lifts completed and transferred out to Finished Goods Inventory? Why would management be interested in this cost?
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 extrnsio11, 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 1·esin per foot of the finished product.
Determine the resin materials cost per foot of finished product for each Round to the nearest whole cent.
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 pl

Arona Corporation manufactures canoes in two departments, Fabrication and Waterproofing. In the Fabrication Department, fiberglass panels are attached to a canoe- shaped aluminum frame. The canoes are then transferred to the Waterproofing department to be coated with sealant. Arona uses a weighted-average process cost system to collect costs in both departments.
All materials in the Fabrication Department are added at the beginning of the production process. On July 1, the Fabrication Department had 30 canoes in process that were 20% complete with respect to conversion cost. On July 31, Fabrication had 20 canoes in process that were 40% complete with respect to conversion cost. During July, the Fabrication Department completed 73 canoes and transferred them to the Waterproofing Department.
What are the Fabrication Department's equivalent units of production related to materials for July?

It has three departments: Mixing, Tableting, and Bottling. In Mixing, at the beginning of the process all materials are added and the ingredients for the minerals are measured, sifted, and blended together. The mix is transferred out in gallon containers. The Tableting Department takes the powdered mix and places it in capsules. One gallon of powdered mix converts to 1,600 capsules. After the capsules are filled and polished, they are transferred to Bottling where they are placed in bottles, which are then affixed with a safety seal and a lid and labeled. Each bottle receives 50 capsules. During July, the following results are available for the first two departments (direct materials are added at the beginning in both departments): Overhead in both departments is applied as a percentage of direct labor costs. In the Mixing Department, overhead is 200 percent of direct labor. In the Tableting Department, the overhead rate is 150 percent of direct labor. Required: 1. Prepare a production report for the Mixing Department using the weighted average method. Follow the five steps outlined in the chapter. Round unit cost to three decimal places. 2.

- RDI Products Co. manufactures a variety of products made of plastic and aluminum components. During the winter months, substantially all of the production capacity is devoted to the production of lawn sprinklers for the following spring and summer seasons. Other products are manufactured during the remainder of the year. The company has developed standard costs for its several products. Standard costs for each year are set in the preceding October. The standard cost of a sprinkler for the current year is $3.70, computed as follows: During February, RDI Products manufactured 8,500 good sprinklers. The company incurred the following costs, which it charged to production: Materials price variations are not determined by usage but are charged to a materials price variation account at the time of purchase. All materials are carried in inventory at standard prices. Materials purchases for February were as follows: *Due to plastic shortages, the company was forced to purchase lower-grade plastic than called for in the standards. This increased the number of sprinklers rejected on inspection.
