Ritz Company sells fine collectible statues and has implemented activity-based costing. Costs in the shipping department have been divided into three cost pools. The first cost pool contains costs that are related to packaging and shipping and Rand has determined that the number of boxes shipped is an appropriate cost driver for these costs. The second cost pool is made up of costs related to the final inspection of each item before it is shipped and the cost driver for this pool is the number of individual items that are inspected and shipped. The final cost pool is used for general operations and supervision of the department and the cost driver is the number of shipments. Information about the department is summarized below:

Gladden Dock Company manufactures boat docks on an assembly line. Its costing system uses two cost categories, direct materials and conversion costs. Each product must pass through the Assembly Department and the Finishing Department. This problem focuses on the Assembly Department. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the production process. Conversion costs are allocated evenly throughout production. The firm uses FIFO method and the controller prepared the following (correct) equivalent unit calculation.

Every picture frame passes through two departments: the assembly department and the finishing department. This problem focuses on the assembly department. The process-costing system at Makani has a single direct-cost category (direct materials) and a single indirect-cost category (conversion costs). Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are added evenly during the assembly department's process.

- Wojtek Nakowski has prepared the following list of statements about process cost accounting. Identify each statement as true or false. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Process cost systems are used to apply costs to similar products that are mass-produced in a continuous fashion. A process cost system is used when each finished unit is indistinguishable from another. Companies that produce soft drinks, motion pictures, and computer chips would all use process cost accounting. In a process cost system, costs are tracked by individual jobs. Job-order costing and process costing track different manufacturing cost components. Both job-order costing and process costing account for direct materials, direct labour, and manufacturing overhead. Costs flow through the accounts in the same basic way for both job-order costing and process costing. In a process cost system, only one work in process inventory account is used. In a process cost system, costs are summarized in a job cost sheet. In a…arrow_forwardZwahlen Corporation has an activity-based costing system with three activity cost pools-Processing, Setting Up, and Other.

- The activity-based costing (ABC) system has been used by manufacturing companies for a long period of time. Recently, the ABC system has been used by banks, insurance companies, not-for-profit organizations, government agencies, and service companies. Assume that you were hired as a cost accountant to develop a plan to implement the ABC system for one of these service organizations. Create an ABC system development plan, including detailed steps needed to effectively implement the system. Then present the plan in the discussion. Response should include: A brief background on the organization's main activities. Whether there will be any limitation on implementing the ABC system in the organization selected.arrow_forwardSusan Mills, Company B's chief accountant, has developed an automated costing system that helps track the cost of production activities. This system is capable of accurately measuring and allocating post-manufacturing activities, such as selling, promotional, and distribution activities, in such a way where Company B gets a more detailed view of its product costs. One of the benefits of this system is that it allows Company B to determine which product lines are more profitable. When Susan implemented the new costing system, she realized that the company's current period profits would increase significantly if the new product cost information was used for inventory valuation on the financial statements. Susan has been under intense pressure to improve the company's profits, and this would be a quick and effective way for her to help meet the company's short-term profit goals. As a result, Susan has decided to use the automated costing system to determine the company's profits.…arrow_forwardMirabile Corporation uses activity-based costing to compute product margins.
