The Cutting Department of Sheridan Company has the following production and cost data for July.

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

1. Materials Conversion Costs

Total equivalent units of production 17,200 15,800

2. Cost per Equivalent Unit $ 4.05 $ 2.6

Explanation:

Cutting Department

Weighted-Average Method

1. Equivalent Units

Particulars Units % of Completion Equivalent Units

Materials Conversion Materials Conversion

Transferred Out 13,700 100 100 13,700 13,700

Ending Inventory 3500 100 60 3500 2100

Total Equivalent Units 17,200 15,800

The Ending Inventory units are 3500 which are not yet complete.

Materials Conversion Costs

Total equivalent units of production 17,200 15,800

2. Cost Per Equivalent Units

Materials Conversion

Cost Added 69,660 18,480 + 22,600

Total Costs 69,660 41,080

Equivalent Units 17,200 15,800

Cost per Equivalent Unit 69,660 / 17,200 41,080/ 15,800

$ 4.05 $ 2.6

Cost of Ending Work In Process $ 19635

Materials = 3500 * $ 4.05= $ 14175

Conversion = 2100 * $ 2.6= $ 5460

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

Cost Of Units Transferred Out = $ 91,105

Materials = 13,700 * $ 4.05= $ 55,485

Conversion = 13,700 * $ 2.6 = $ 35620

B. A Cost Reconciliation Report

Materials Conversion

Ending WIP $ 14175 $ 5460

Transferred Out $ 55,485 $ 35620

Total $ 69660 41080

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

Materials Conversion

Cost Added 69,660 18,480 + 22,600

Total Costs 69,660 41,080

These costs reconcile with the given costs.

Delta Company sells bells to customers for $1 each. The variable cost to manufacture the bells is 10 cents. If the rattle depart

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Option C. $0.11

Option D. $0.95

Explanation:

As we know that the Transfer Price is set at either selling price for an outside market or variable cost plus opportunity cost if the product sold is to internal market present within the organization (Inter group or inter division sales).

However, the division can still charge upper limit price to the division which is $1 market price of the product.

Upper limit = $1

As it is given that the selling of the additional units will be among divisions which means its inter division market. Hence the lower limit will be used here.

Lower Limit = Variable cost + opportunity cost

Here

Variable cost is $10 cents

And

Opportunity cost will be zero here as the division will be using its excess capacity to sell to the other division, so there is no opportunity cost.

So, by putting values, we have:

Lower Limit = $0.1 - $0 = $0.1

Upper limit = $1

Thus the transfer price set for each bell can be between $1 and $0.1. So the $0.11 and $0.95 falls between these range and both are correct options here.
