spin [16.1K]4 years ago
7 0
Proration occurs because it is impossible to accurately estimate the future overhead costs and production activity; it is either the overhead is over applied or under applied. The variance will have to be adjusted for at the end of the financial year.

Lilit [14]

Answer:

Pecan Pies

Pauline

a. Summary of the flow of physical units:

Beginning Work in process = 209,000

Started during month =        1,025,000

less ending work in process  159,000

Units completed in month = 1,075,000

b. Computation of output in terms of equivalent units:

Units completed:

                                                       Physical      Direct      Conversion

                                                            Unit        Material        Cost

Determination of equivalent units:

less ending work in process  159,000    103,350 (65%)   127,200 (80%)

Units produced                     1,075,000   1,075,000 (100%)  1,075,000 (100%)

Explanation:

Data:

                                                         Physical      Direct      Conversion

                                                            Unit        Material        Cost

Beginning work in process            209,000

Ending work in process                  159,000      65%          80%

Units started during the month  1,025,000

Total units in production             1,234,000        103,350      127,200

Determination of equivalent units:

less ending work in process         159,000      103,350      127,200

Units produced                           1,075,000   1,075,000   1,075,000

a) The equivalent unit is the product of the class of unit in production multiplied by the percentage of completion.  This forms the basis for allocating cost between a product's costs and the ending work in process.  Calculating the equivalent units helps to determine accurate costs of units completed.

Explanation:

In ABC, it is only the overhead that will be allocated to the product based on an activity cost allocation rate (cost drivers). Direct material cost and                  direct labour cost will be recorded at the actual cost incurred on direct material and direct labour.
