Steps in Preparing a Production Report
Recently, Stillwater Designs expanded its market by becoming an original equipment supplier to Jeep Wrangler. Stillwater Designs produces factory upgraded speakers specifically for Jeep Wrangler. The Kicker components and speaker cabinets are outsourced with assembly remaining in house. Stillwater Designs assembles the product by placing the speakers and other components in cabinets that define an audio package upgrade and that can be placed into the Jeep Wrangler, producing the desired factory-installed appearance. Speaker cabinets and associated Kicker components are added at the beginning of the assembly process.
Assume that Stillwater Designs uses the weighted average method to cost out the audio package. The following are cost and production data for the assembly process for April:
Production: | |||
Units in process, April 1, 60% complete | 60,000 | ||
Units completed and transferred out | 150,000 | ||
Units in process, April 30, 20% complete | 30,000 | ||
Costs: | |||
WIP, April 1: | |||
Cabinets | $1,200,000 | ||
Kicker components | 12,600,000 | ||
Conversion costs | 5,400,000 | ||
Costs added during April: | |||
Cabinets | $2,400,000 | ||
Kicker components | 25,200,000 | ||
Conversion costs | 8,640,000 |

- Coastal Cycles makes three models of electric bicycles: E20, E35, and E60. The models differ by the size of the battery and the quality of the components. The bicycles are produced in two departments. The Assembly Department purchases components from vendors and assembles them into bicycles. The models E20 and E35 are complete and ready for sale after completing the assembly process. The model E60 undergoes further process in Customization Department, which is actually just a small area in the same building as the Assembly Department. Conversion costs in both the Assembly Department and Customization Department are based on the number of units produced. There are never any work-in-process inventories. Data for production in November are shown in the following table. Total E20 E35 E60 Units produced 11,500 4,500 4,000 3,000 Materials cost $ 8,590,000 $ 2,250,000 $ 3,040,000 $ 3,300,000 Conversion costs Assembly…arrow_forwardVishnuarrow_forwardShow the solution in good accounting formarrow_forward
