Howorth Dental Products is a London-based producer of a patented anti-microbial dental floss. All raw material is introduced at

the beginning of the production process, but considerable processing time is needed to create the anti-microbial qualities of the specially designed floss. Howorth measures output in meters of floss and applies the weighted-average process costing method. The following information is available for a recent period:
Beginning work in process inventory:

141,000 meters at a cost of £46,100 for direct materials, £25,000 for direct labor, and £25,000 for factory overhead. The conversion process was 60% complete.

Units started into production: 261,000 meters

Units completed and transferred to finished goods: 383,000 meters

Ending work in process inventory: 19,000 meters, 35% complete

Additional costs incurred during the period:

Direct materials, £85,800

Direct labor, £98,300

Factory overhead, £98,700

Answer:

Choice A is the correct answer

Explanation:

Howorth Dental Products

Cost of Production Report

Equivalent Units             Materials           Conversion Costs

Finished Goods             383000             383000

Ending WIP                    19000                6650 ( 19000* 35%)

Total Equivalent Units   402,000           389650        

Costs                                  Material           D.LAbor            FOH

Preceding Department    46,100            25,000             25000

Added                                85,800          98,300               98,700

Total Costs                       131,900            123,300            123,700

Material Costs Per Equivalent Unit = 131,900/ 402,000= 0.328

Direct LAbor Costs Per Equivalent Unit = 123,300/ 389,650=0.316

FOH Costs Per Equivalent Unit = 123,700/ 389,650=0.317

Total Cost per Equivalent unit = 0.328 + 0.316+0.317= 0.961≅ 0.962 (rounding would give a difference)

Costs Transferred to Finished Goods = 0.962* 383,000= $368,446

Costs OF Ending work in Process = 0.328 * 19,000 + 0.316* 6650 + 0.317 * 6650

Costs of Ending WIP= 6232 +2108.5+ 2101.4= 10,441.9

Total Cost Allocation= 368,446 + 10,441.9=  378,887.9

Equivalent units of direct material            402,000

Equivalent units of direct labor               389,650

Equivalent units of overhead              389,650

Costs per equivalent unit                  $0.962

Transferred to Finished Goods           $368,446

Total Ending Work in Process           $10,449

Total Cost Allocation       $378,895

There's a  minute difference in the WIP ending Inventory Costs  ( 10449 - 10441.9 = 7.1)and Total Costs ($378,895-378,887.9= 7.1) which is only due to rounding off. If you round off you will get the exact figures as given in the option.

erica [24]

Answer:

Explicit costs are the monetary costs that a business incurs when it makes a payment, either in the form of wages, or taxes, or to manufacturers, etc.

Implicit costs are the opportunity costs that arise when businesses give up on other options when making a choice. They are not represented by any actual payments.

In this case, we have the following explicit costs:

$420,000 paid to the manufacturer

$247,000 paid in wages and utility bills

And we have the following implicit costs:

$9,000 in rent per year if Hubert rented out the local

$32,000 per year if Hubert worked as a financial advisor

A(n) ______ cost requires a future outlay of cash and is relevant for current and future decision making. Multiple choice questi
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

out-of-pocket

Explanation:

In Accounting, costing is the measurement of the cost of production of goods and services by assessing the fixed costs and variable costs associated with each step of production.

Cost pool is simply the amount of money spent by a firm on a particular activity.

Generally, an activity-based costing uses numerous cost pools such as manufacturing cost or customer services and numerous cost drivers such as direct labor hours worked, number of changes used in engineering department, etc.

Generally, an out-of-pocket cost requires that an individual or business outlay their future cash-flow and it must be relevant for current and future decision making.

variable overhead efficiency variance: Variable overhead efficiency variance aims to determine whether or not their exist savings or extra cost incurred on variable overhead as a result of workers being faster or slower that expected.

5,400 units should have taken (5,400×3.8 hours)   20,520

but did take                                                                <u> 20,800</u>

Labour hours variance                                                280 unfavorable

Standard variable overhead rate                         ×     <u>$ 7.90</u> per hour

Variable overhead efficiency variance                     $2,212  unfavorable

Variable overhead efficiency variance =  $2,212unfavorable
