Bavarian Chocolate Company processes chocolate into candy bars. The process begins by placing direct materials (raw chocolate, m

ilk, and sugar) into the Blending Department. All materials are placed into production at the beginning of the blending process. After blending, the milk chocolate is then transferred to the Molding Department, where the milk chocolate is formed into candy bars. The following is a partial work in process account of the Blending Department at October 31, 2014:

31 Bal., 2,600 units, 1/5 completed                                           46,030

Ending units in process:

Beginning units in process        2,300

Direct materials                        26,000

Units available for production 28,300

Units transferred out               25,700

Ending units in process             2,600

Equivalent units of production:               Materials  Conversion

Units started and completed = 25,700   25,700      25,700

Ending WIP                                  2,600     2,600           520 (1/5 * 2,600)

Equivalent units produced                      28,300      26,220

Cost per unit of direct materials = $429,000/26,000 = $16.50

Total cost or production         $466,950    $157,458

Equivalent units produced          28,300       26,220

Cost per equivalent unit           $16.50          $6.005

Assignment of cost to units completed and ending WIP:

                                                    Materials     Conversion      Total

Units transferred out (25,700)   $424,050     $154,328    $578,378

Ending WIP (2,600/520)                 42,900            3,130        46,030

Total                                            $466,950     $157,458    $624,408

2. Assuming that the October 1 work in process inventory includes direct materials of $38,295, determine the increase or decrease in the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion between September and October.

Sherry owns a car business. She just received a shipment of Volkswagen SUVs. She paid $60,000 for each vehicle and wants to make
densk [106]

The selling price of the price that is offered to the buyer of the goods. The selling price of the car should be $<u><em>75,000</em></u>.

<h3>What is the selling price?</h3>

The selling price is the ultimate value of the goods the seller is willing to offer to the buyer at the time of sale. It is determined by adding up the profit margin to the actual cost of the goods.

The computation of the selling price of the car:

Given,

  • Cost price =$60,000
  • Margin =25%

\begin{aligned}\text{Selling Price}&=\text{Cost Price}+\text{Margin}\\&=\$60,000+(\$60,000\times25\%)\\&=\$60,000+\$15,000\\&=\$75,000\end{aligned}

Therefore, if Sherry wants to make 25% on the sale of each car then the car must be sold at $75,000 each.
