Answer:

Fogerty Company

1. Computation of the activity rate for each activity cost pool:

a. Machine setups = Total machine setups overhead costs/total machine setups

= $28,980/252 = $115 per machine set up

b. Special processing = Total special processing overhead costs/total machine hours

= $92,000/4,600 = $20 per machine hour

c. General factory = $89,000/65,000 = $1.369 per unit produced

2. Determination of the unit product cost of each product using ABC system:

                                           Hubs              Sprockets

Total production costs   $825,640         $1,101,340

Units produced                 15,000               50,000

Unit product cost =          $55.04               $22.03

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Machine setups

 (number of setups)         $ 28,980        140              112            252

Special processing

 (machine-hours)             $ 92,000   4,600                 0          4,600

General factory

(organization-sustaining) $ 89,000         NA               NA            NA

Direct labor-hours per unit                   0.60             0.20

Total units produced                          15,000           50,000       65,000

Direct materials required per unit         $39                $18

Direct labor wage rate per hour            $12                 $12

b) Total direct labor-hours                 9,000            10,000        19,000

c) Activity rate for each activity cost pool:

1. Machine setups = Total machine setups overhead costs/total machine setups

= $28,980/252 = $115 per machine set up

2. Special processing = Total special processing overhead costs/total machine hours

= $92,000/4,600 = $20 per machine hour

3. General factory = Total general factory overhead costs divided by total units produced

= $89,000/65,000 = $1.3692 per unit produced

d) Overhead Allocation:

                                          Hubs             Sprockets          Total

Machine setups               $16,100            $12,880        $28,980

Special processing          96,000                 0                96,000

General factory                20,540             68,460          89,000

Total overhead costs   $132,640            $81,340      $213,980

e) Total costs per product

                                          Hubs               Sprockets             Total

Direct materials costs     $585,000         $900,000         $1,485,000

Direct labor costs            $108,000          $120,000           $228,000

Total overhead costs      $132,640             $81,340            $213,980

Total production costs   $825,640         $1,101,340         $1,926,980

Units produced                 15,000               50,000

Unit product cost =          $55.04               $22.03

f) Activity based costing system (ABC) is a costing technique that accumulates according to activity pools and allocates costs based on the activities carried out.  For example, the general factory overhead costs, could be allocated based on direct labour hours, machine hours, or total units of production.  It calculates the allocation rate based on the accepted activity pool.

The key factor distinguishing retailers from other members of the supply chain is that.
Airida [17]

The key factor distinguishing retailers from other members of the supply chain is that they sell to customers for their personal use.

<h3>What do you mean by customers?</h3>
  • A client is someone who purchases goods, services, products, or ideas from a seller, vendor, or supplier in exchange for money or another useful consideration.
  • This definition applies to sales, business, and economics.
  • Customers who frequently purchase from a business establish conventions that enable regular, sustained trade, which enables the business to create statistical models to improve production procedures (which alter the nature or form of goods or services) and supply chains (which changes the location or formalizes the changes of ownership or entitlement transactions).
<h3>What types of customers are there?</h3>
  • 5 different consumer types
  • New customers.
  • Impulsive buyers.
  • Angry customers.
  • Persistent customers.
  • Loyal customers.

Missing information:

How much is the value of full costing ending inventory?

Answer:

$8,750

Explanation:

1,000 units were produced and 800 were sold, so ending inventory = 200 units

total production cost per unit (under full costing) = $35,000 / 800 = $43.75

ending inventory = $43.75 x 200 = $8,750

Full costing basically refers to absorption costing, which calculates COGS using both variable and fixed costs (total production costs).

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

a. 750

Explanation:

units completed and transferred out = beginning work in process + units started - ending work in progress = 225 units + 675 units - 150 units = 750 units

The number of units completed and transferred out refer to the total number of finished units during a certain period and their cost is referred to as cost of goods manufactured.

In 2018, the Barton and Barton Company changed its method of valuing inventory from the FIFO method to the average cost method.
Sati [7]

Answer:

In Barton and Barton Company's general journal, entry required include:

Debit Retained Earnings Account with $8.2 million

Credit Opening Inventory with $8.2 million

Being reversal of overstated inventory due to change from FIFO to Average cost method.

Explanation:

The debit entry to the Retained Earnings Account will reduce the balance by $8.2 million.  The effect of overstating the closing inventory is overstatement of the net income because the cost of sales was understated as a result of the inventory overstatement.

The credit entry to the Opening Inventory reduces the balance to the new balance based on the average cost method of $23.8 million.

The FIFO cost method or First-In, First-Out method is an inventory costing method that assumes that goods that were bought first were the ones to be sold first.  The inventory cost is therefore valued with the most recent quantity and cost price.

On the other hand, the Average Cost Method, also called the Weighted Average Cost Method, calculates the inventory cost by adding all the period's inventory and dividing it by the quantity for the period.  This gives an average cost which is in turn used to multiply the quantity of inventory at the end of the period to obtain the inventory cost.

Both methods are estimates that produce different results and affect the reported net income differently.  There is always the need for consistency in choosing the method to apply so that reported net income is not unduly distorted.
