gregori [183]

Answer:

a) EU for materials = 170,000

EU for conversion = 165,000

b) Materials = $0.82 per EU

Conversion = $1.48 per EU

c) Ending WIP = $28,240

Units transferred out = $368,760

d) cost reconciliation report:

Costs to be accounted for:

  • Beginning WIP $13,400
  • Cost added $383,600
  • Total costs to be accounted for $397,000

Cost accounted for as follows:  

  • Unit transferred out $368,760
  • Ending WIP $28,240
  • Total cost accounted for $397,000

Explanation:

beginning WIP 10,000

materials 100% complete (0% added during the period)

conversion 30% complete (70% added during the period) ⇒ 7,000 EU

units started 170,000

ending WIP 20,000

materials 100% complete ⇒ 20,000 EU

conversion 40% complete ⇒ 8,000 EU

units completed = 160,000

units started and completed = 150,000

beginning WIP costs:

Materials cost $8,500

Conversion cost $4,900

costs added during the period:

Materials cost $139,400

Conversion cost $244,200

Equivalent units for July:

EU for materials = 170,000

EU for conversion = 7,000 + 150,000 + 8,000 = 165,000

Costs per EU:

Materials = $139,400  / 170,000 = $0.82 per EU

Conversion = $244,200 / 165,000 = $1.48 per EU

Total costs:

Ending WIP = (20,000 x $0.82) + (8,000 x $1.48) = $28,240

Units transferred out = ($383,600 - $28,240) + $8,500 + $4,900 = $368,760

Costs to be accounted for:

  • Beginning WIP $13,400
  • Cost added $383,600
  • Total costs to be accounted for $397,000

Cost accounted for as follows:  

  • Unit transferred out $368,760
  • Ending WIP $28,240
  • Total cost accounted for $397,000

Answer:

Explanation:

Pressures for cost reduction are intense in industries where there is persistent excess capacity.

<em>In this scenario, there is persistent excess capacity in the industry and as such in order to be able to keep up with sales, the company will have to reduce its selling price. This will enable the company to have competitive advantage over its rivals in the same industry. </em>
