Maria Am Corporation uses a process costing system. The Baking Department is one of the processing departments in its strudel ma
nufacturing facility. In June in the Baking Department, the cost of beginning work in process inventory was $3,570, the cost of ending work in process inventory was $2,860, and the cost added to production was $43,120.

Answer:
Explanation:
The following information can be derived from the question above:
The cost of the beginning work in the process inventory = $3,570
The cost of the ending work in the process inventory = $2,860
The cost that is added to the production = $43,120.
In the attached document, it should be noted that the cost of goods that were transferred out was calculated as:
The total cost to be accounted for minus the cost of the ending work in the process inventory. This is:
= 46690 - 2860
= 43830
The cost reconciliation report for the Baking Department for June has been solved and attached.

The first step you need to do to solve this problem is to calculate the contribution margin per unit for each model:
Model a12 b22 c124
Sales Price per unit 50 100 400
Less: Variable Cost per unit 35 70 300
Contribution Margin per unit 15 30 100
The next step is to calculate the weighted-average contribution margin per unit for the sales mix using the following formula:
Model a12 CM per Unit ×
Model a12 Sales Mix Percentage<span>
+ Model b22 CM per Unit × Model b22 Sales Mix Percentage
+ Model c124 CM per Unit × Model c124 Sales Mix Percentage
<span>= Weighted Average Unit Contribution Margin (WACM)</span></span>
Contribution Margin per unit 15 30 100
X Sales Mix Percentage 60% 15% 25%
WACM 9 4.5 25
Weighted Average Unit Contribution Margin (sum) 38.5
The next step is to find the break-even point using the WACM.
<span> <span><span> <span> Total Fixed Cost </span> <span> $269,500 </span> </span> <span> <span> ÷ Weighted Average CM per Unit </span> <span> $38.50 </span> </span> <span> <span> Break-even Point in Units of Sales Mix </span> <span> 7,000 </span> </span> </span></span>
The next step is to calculate the number of units of each model at break-even point
