The cutting department of Legacy Production Company started 40,000 units of specialized chairs during the month of March. The department incurred $15,000 in direct material costs; 2,500 direct labor hours paid at $10 per hour; and manufacturing overhead applied at 150% of direct labor cost. Legacy Production Company uses process costing to accumulate costs. NOTE: There was no beginning inventory in March.
Required (Excel Template downloadProvided): (Module Learning Outcomes LO5.1 through LO5.5 AND Course Learning Outcome #1 & #2)
Calculate the conversion costs incurred during the month of March (show your calculations).
Assume, that only 30,000 units were completed and transferred out. The remaining units left in ending inventroy are only 70% complete with respect to conversion costs. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. Prepare a Cutting Department cost production report for the month of March

Bear Co has developed a new model of television. The estimated labour time for the first unit is 12 hours but a learning curve of 75% is expected to apply for the first eight units produced Note: The learning index for a 75% learning curve is-0-415. Overhead production costs must be estimated based on a previous model, the Leonardo, that was made by Bear Co.
