S5-13 Find unit cost and gross profit on a final product (Learning Objective 5)
Counter Co. produces Formica countertops in two sequential production departments:
Forming and Polishing. The Polishing Department calculated the following costs per
equivalent unit (square feet) on its October production cost report:
Transferred-in
$2.44
Direct Materials Conversion Costs
$0.40
$1.66
Cost per equivalent unit:
During October, 165,000 square feet were completed and transferred out of the
Polishing Department to Finished Goods Inventory. The countertops were subsequently
sold for $13.00 per square foot.
1. What was the cost per square foot of the finished product?
2. Did most of the production cost occur in the Forming Department or in the Polishing
Department? Explain how you can tell where the most production cost occurred.
3. What was the gross profit per square foot?
4. What was the total gross profit on the countertops produced in October?
I have the following information: direct materials $250 and total manufacturing cost $700. Overhead applied to jobs at a rate of 200% of direct labor cost. This is for Chapter 2 job costing in managerial accounting. I am supposed to figure out conversion cost, direct labor cost, and manufacturing overhead.
I know the formula for conversion cost= direct labor + manufacturing OH
Prime cost= direct labor + direct materials
How do I figure out direct labor cost with the given information? The learning objective states calcualte predetermined overhead rate, but I do not have estimated manufacturing cost and estimated labor. Can you please help?
Thanks,
