Answer:

Part a

<u>Reconciliation of the number of Physical units worked </u>

INPUTS :

Beginning Inventory units            118,300

Add Started during the period   244,000

Total                                             362,300

OUTPUTS :

Completed and Transferred       334,900

Ending Work In Process               24,400

Total                                             362,300

Part b

Materials =  359,300 units

Conversion Costs =  350,760 units

Part c

Materials =  $1.23

Conversion Costs =  $1.93

Part d

<u>Reconcile the Total cost of work in process.</u>

Cost in Beginning Inventory                     $538,000  

Add Costs During the Period                     $581,700

Total                                                           $1,119,700

Cost of Units Still in Process                       $60,622

Units Completed and Transferred         $1,058,284

Total                                                          $1,118,506

Explanation:

Step 1 : Equivalent units

These are physical units outputs (completed and transferred and units in process) expressed in terms of percentage of work completed in terms of materials and conversion costs

Materials = 334,900 + 24,400 x 100% = 359,300

Conversion Costs = 334,900 + 24,400 x 65% = 350,760

Step 2 : Cost per Equivalent unit

<em>Cost per Equivalent unit = Total Cost ÷ Total Equivalent Units</em>

therefore,

Materials = ($193,000 + $249,700) ÷ 359,300 = $1.23

Conversion Costs = ($345,000 + $332 000) ÷ 350,760 = $1.93

Total Unit Cost = $1.23 + $1.93 = $3.16

Step 3 : Cost of Units Still in Process and Units Completed and Transferred

Cost of Units Still in Process = 24,400 x $1.23 + 15,860 x $1.93 = $60,622

Units Completed and Transferred = 334,900 x $3.16 = $1,058,284

The following information was obtained from MCB​ Manufacturing, Inc.:Advertising Costs $9,900Indirect Labor 53,000CEO's Salary 6
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

The MCB Manufacturing's total product costs is $170,560

Explanation:

The computation of the total product cost is shown below:

Total product cost = Indirect Labor + Direct Labor + Indirect Materials Used + Direct Materials Used  + Factory Utilities + Factory Janitorial Costs + Manufacturing Equipment Depreciation

= $53,000 + $40,000 + $7,500 + $65,000 + $760 + $1,200 + $3,100

= $170,560

Thus, the product cost is that cost which includes all types of direct and the indirect costs which are used to ready the product.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

<u>A continuous innovation.</u>

Explanation:

In this question, we can consider that the company Procter and Gambler used when launching the Pampers Rash Guard, a strategy of continuous innovation, as this is not a new product in itself, but an alternative to ordinary pampers diapers.

Continuous innovation can be defined as a strategy used by companies, mainly a large company like P&G, so that the company has a greater positioning in the market and with this the company becomes the market leader, as it already offers a product recognized as diapers Pampers and yet creates an innovation for diapers, so that it can reach a greater number of consumers and attest to its positioning of an innovative and updated company, which always seeks improvements for products that are already recognized as products of value and quality for the consumer.
