goes through three processing stages prior to completion. Information on work in the first department, Cooking, is given below for May: Production data: Pounds in process, May 1; materials 100% complete; conversion 80% complete 10,000 Pounds started into production during May 100,000 Pounds completed and transferred out
1. Compute the equivalent units of production for materials and conversion for May.
2. Compute the cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion for May.
3. Compute the cost of ending work in process inventory for materials, conversion, and in total for May.
4. Compute the cost of units transferred out to the next department for materials, conversion, and in total for May.

Answer:

1.Total Equivalent Units   Materials   104,000 Conversion    98000

<u>2.</u> Cost per Equivalent Unit   Materials $ 1.5 Conversion $ 1

3. Materials Cost Ending Work in Process 13,500

4. Cost Of Units Transferred Out = $237,500

5. Both calculated and cost accounted are same. Mat. $ 156,000 Conversion $ 98000

Explanation:

The complete data is as follows:

Production data:

Pounds in process, May 1; materials 100% complete; conversion 80% complete 10,000

Pounds started into production during May 100,000

Pounds completed and transferred out ?

Pounds in Process 31 May : Materials 60 % , Conversion 20 % complete  15000

Cost Data

Work In Process May 1

Materials cost $ 1500

Conversion Cost $ 72 00

Cost Added During May

Materials cost $ 154,500

Conversion Cost $ 90,800

<u><em>Solution </em></u>

Builder Products, Inc.,

Weighted-Average Method

1. Equivalent Units

Particulars              Units       % of Completion       Equivalent Units

                                        Materials Conversion   Materials Conversion

Transferred Out    95000     100         100             95000      95000

<u>Ending WIP           15000        60          20                9000       3000   </u>

<u>Total Equivalent Units                                              104,000     98000</u>

<u />

Transferred Out units are calculated by adding Opening Inventory and production started and subtracting ending inventory units.

Transferred Out units = Opening Inventory+ production started -ending inventory units

Transferred Out units =10,000 + 100,00 - 15000= 95000 units.

2. Cost Per Equivalent Units

                                                       Materials         Conversion

Cost Of Opening Inventory         1500                  7200

<u>Cost Added                                  154500              90800</u>

<u>Total Costs                                   156000             98000</u>

Equivalent Units                          104000              98000

Cost per Equivalent Unit            156000/104000        98000/98000

                                                       $ 1.5                           $1.0

3. Cost of Ending Work In Process  $ 16500

Materials = 9000 * $ 1.5= $ 13500

Conversion = 3000 * $ 1.0=  $3000

We multiply the equivalenr number of units with the cost per unit to find the cost.

4. Cost Of Units Transferred Out = $237,500

Materials == 95 000 * $ 1.5= $ 142,500

Conversion = 95000 * $ 1.0=  $ 95000

5. A Cost Reconciliation Report

                                        Materials              Conversion

Ending WIP                       13500                   3000

<u>Transferred Out                 142500                95000</u>

<u>Total                                 156000                   98000</u>

These calculated costs reconcile with the costs given in the above data.

                                                      Materials         Conversion

Cost Of Opening Inventory         1500                  7200

<u>Cost Added                                  154500              90800</u>

<u>Total Costs                                   156000             98000</u>

Video Planet (VP) sells a big screen TV package consisting of a 60-inch plasma TV, a universal remote, and on-site installation
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Tv = 1772

Remote = 144

Installation = 144

Explanation:

To calculate stand-alone selling price we need to calculate the percentage of Fair market value first and then allocate the Entire package price in the products according to the percentage of fair market value.

Percentage of the fair market value of each product

Product             Fair Value               Percentage

TV                         $1830                      86%    

Remote                 $140                        7%

Installation            $140                         7%

Total                      $2,110                      100%

Stand-alone selling price

Product            % of fair market value            Stand-alone selling price

TV                                    86%                                   1772

Remote                             7%                                     144

Installation                       7%                                      144

Total                               100%                                   2,060

Aaron Company has 80,000 shares of $10 par common stock outstanding. On May 25, Aaron Company declared a $1.50 cash dividend. Th
Finger [1]

Answer:

a.a debit to Cash Dividends for $120,000.

Explanation:

The amount of dividend paid is dependent on two function; the number of shares and the amount declared for payment per share.

When it is paid, a credit is posted to cash account and the corresponding debit is posted to the dividend paid account.

As such, since the company has  80,000 shares and the declared dividend  was $1.50,

Total dividend paid = $1.50 × 80000

= $120,000.

Hence cash dividend is debited with $120,000 on payment.

If house A had a sale price of $70,000, monthly rent of $500, and a GRM of 140; House B had a sale price of $68,500, monthly ren
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

$69,300

Explanation:

Given the following :

House A :

Sales price = $70,000

Monthly rent = $500

GRM = 140

House B :

Sales price = $68,500

Monthly rent = $490

GRM = 139.8

House C :

Sales price = $70,500

Monthly rent = $485

GRM = 139.6

The gross rent multiplier GRM is obtained as the proportion of the sale price of a property to it's monthly rent.

GRM = (Sales price / monthly rent)

If a property is rented for 495 and house A is the

most comparable, then

Sales price will be closest to:

GRM of House A × monthly rent of property

140 × $495 = $69,300
