Should 's managers choose the weighted-average method or the FIFO method? Explain.arrow_forwardWeighted-average method, spoilage, equivalent units. (CMA, adapted) Consider the following data for November 2017 from MacLean Manufacturing Company, which makes silk pennants and uses a process-costing system. All direct materials are added at the beginning of the process, and conversion costs are added evenly during the process. Spoilage is detected upon inspection at the completion of the process. Spoiled units are disposed of at zero net disposal value. MacLean Manufacturing Company uses the weighted-average method of process costing.arrow_forwardArklan Production is upgrading its manufacturing process from a manual process to a highly automated system. Management believes that the new system will result in greater efficiencies and a better finished product. Arklan is also working on a plan to downsize staff after the implementation of the new system. Arklan has used a traditional absorption costing system to calculate unit product costs for external financial reporting. In the past, Arklan has allocated its manufacturing overhead costs using a predetermined plant-wide overhead rate based on direct labor hours. The controller realizes that the new system may require changing the overhead allocation process. Management plans to take the opportunity to reconsider other improvements to the costing system. Identify and explain three benefits of using departmental overhead rates to allocate overhead costs. Explain the difference between absorption costing and variable costing. Identify which is more suitable for internal…arrow_forward
- Rounder specializes in the manufacture of ball bearings for aircraft. Direct materials are added at the start of the production process. Conversion costs are added evenly during the process. Some units of this product are spoiled as a result of defects not detectable before inspection of finished goods. Normally, the spoiled units are 15% of the good units transferred out. Spoiled units are disposed of at zero net disposal price. Suppose Rounder determines standard costs of $246 per (equivalent) unit for direct materials and $96 per (equivalent) unit for conversion costs for both beginning work in process and work done in the current period. Summary data for September are: (Click the icon to view the data.) Required 1. For each cost element, compute the equivalent units. Show physical units in the first column. 2.

Setup, production-order, and materials-handling costs that vary with the number of batches b. Manufacturing-operations costs that vary with machine-hours c. Costs of engineering changes that vary with the number of engineering changes made In response to competitive pressures at the end of 2016, Techno Instruments used value-engineering techniques to reduce manufacturing costs. Actual information for 2016 and 2017 is as follows: 2016 2017 Setup, production-order, and materials-handling costs per batch $8,600 $7,800 Total manufacturing-operations cost per machine-hour $59 $53 Cost per engineering change $18,750 $14,000 The management of Techno Instruments wants to evaluate whether value engineering has succeeded in reducing the target manufacturing cost per unit of one…arrow_forward
- Grace Company manufactures picture frames of all sizes and shapes and uses job-order costing system. There is always some spoilage in each production run. The following costs relate to the current run: Estimated overhead (exclusive of spoilage) Spoilage (estimated) Sales value of spoiled frames Labor hours P 160,000 25,000 11,500 100,000 The actual cost of a spoiled picture frame is P7.00. During the year, 170 frames are considered spoiled. Each spoiled frame can be sold for P4. The spoilage is considered a part of all jobs (factory overhead). What amount should be debited to Factory Overhead Control to record spoilage pertaining to unrecovered cost?arrow_forwardZett Company has been using FIFO process costing for tracking the costs of its manufacturing activities. But, in recent months, the system has become somewhat bogged down with details. It seems that, when the company purchased ABB Electronics last year, its product lines increased six-fold. This has caused both the accountants and the suppliers of the information, the line managers, great difficulty in keeping the costs of each product line separate. Likewise, the estimation of the completion of ending work-in-process inventories and the associated costs has become very cumbersome. The CFO of the company is looking for ways to improve the reporting system of product costs. What can you recommend to improve the situation?arrow_forwardThe management of Gregory Corporation believes that the inspection cost is a mixed cost that depends on units produced. The high- low method is used to estimate the variable and fixed components of this cost. The total inspection costs at Gregory's factory are listed below.
