Chapter 5, Problem 5.57BP
The Weaver Furniture Company produces dining tables in a three-stage process: Sawing, Assembly, and Staining, Costs incurred in the Sawing Department during September are summarized as follows:
5.5-45 Full alternative Text
Direct materials (lumber) are added at the beginning of the sawing process, while conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the process. September activity in the Sawing Department included sawing of 14,000 meters of lumber, which were transferred to the Assembly Department. Also, work began on 2,500 meters of lumber, which on September 30 were 70% of the way through the sawing process.
Requirements
- 1. Draw a time line for the Sawing Department.
- 2. Use the time line to help you compute the number of equivalent units and the cost per equivalent unit in the Sawing Department for September,
- 3. Show that the sum of (a) cost of goods transferred out of the Sawing Department and (b) ending “Work in Process Inventory—Sawing” equals the total cost accumulated in the department during September.
- 4. Journalize all transactions affecting the company’s sawing process during September, including those already posted. Assume the wages are unpaid.

$4-3 Compute departmental overhead rates (Learning Objective 1)
Snyder Snacks makes potato chips, corn chips, and cheese puffs using three different pro-
du
es wi
the same manufacturing plant. Currently, Snyder uses a single plant-
wide overhead rate to allocate its $3,311,500 of annual manufacturing overhead. Of this
amount, $2,070,000 is associated with the potato chip line, $763,000 is associated with
the corn chip line, and $478,500 is associated with the cheese puff line. Snyder's plant is
currently running a total of 17,900 machine hours: 11,500 in the potato chip line, 3,500 in
the corn chip line, and 2,900 in the cheese puff line. Snyder considers machine hours to
be the cost driver of manufacturing overhead costs.

She developed an ABC system very similar to the one used by Biltmore’s chief rival, Westriver. Part of the reason Johnson developed the ABC system was because Biltmore’s profits had been declining even though the company had shifted its product mix toward the product that had appeared most profitable under the old system. Before adopting the new ABC system, Biltmore had used a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor hours that was developed years ago. For the upcoming year, Biltmore’s budgeted ABC manufacturing overhead allocation rates are as follows: Activity Allocation Base Activity Cost Allocation Rate Materials handling # of parts $3.84 per part Machine setup # of setups $330.00 per setup Insertion of parts # of parts $30.00 per part Finishing Finishing DL hrs $54.00 per hour The…arrow_forward
