In a process costing system, which of the following would be TRUE?

Edelstein Company had the following data for 2018: Units in process at the beginning of the month 4,000 Units in process at the end of the month 10,000 Units started during the month 40,000 ​ Materials are added at the beginning of the process. Beginning work in process was 40 percent complete as to conversion. Ending work in process was 70 percent complete as to conversion. How many equivalent units for materials would there be using the FIFO method?

Attraction Corporation produces specially machined parts. The parts are produced in batches in one continuous manufacturing process. Each part is custom produced and requires special engineering design activity (based on customer specifications). Once the design is completed, the equipment can be set up for batch production. Once the batch is completed, a sample is taken and inspected to see if the parts are within the tolerances allowed. Thus, the manufacturing process has four activities: engineering, setups, machining, and inspecting. In addition, there is a sustaining process with two activities: providing utilities (plantwide) and providing space. Costs have been assigned to each activity using direct tracing and resource drivers: Engineering $1,000,000 Setups 900,000 Machining 2,000,000 Inspection 800,000 Providing space 250,000 Providing utilities 180,000 ​ Activity drivers for each activity have been identified and their practical capacities listed: Machine hours 25,000 Setups 200 Engineering hours 5,000 Inspection hours 2,500 ​ The costs of facility-level activities are assigned using machine hours. ​ What is (are) the facility-level activity(ies)?

Cost accumulation is the determination of the dollar amounts of direct materials, direct labor and overhead costs, and cost measurement is the recognition and recording of costs.

Information about the Harmonious Company’s two products includes: ​   Product X Product Y Unit selling price $11.25 $11.25 Unit variable costs:         Manufacturing $  5.25 $  6.75     Selling    .75     .75 Total $  6.00 $  7.50       Monthly fixed costs are as follows:         Manufacturing $  82,500       Selling and administrative     45,000   Total $127,500   ​ What is the total monthly sales volume in units required to break even when the sales mix in units is 70 percent Product X and 30 percent Product Y?

Golden Ring Company produces two types of product: Large and Larger. Two work orders for two batches of the products are shown below, along with some additional cost information:   ​ Large Larger ​ Work Order 10 Work Order 11 Direct materials (actual costs) $45,000 $75,000 ​ ​ ​ Applied conversion costs: ​ ​ Mixing ? ? Cooking $12,000 $12,000 Bottling $10,000 $15,000 ​ ​ ​ Batch size (bottles) 5,000 5,000 ​ In the Mixing Department, conversion costs are applied on the basis of direct labor hours. Budgeted conversion costs for the department for the year were $50,000 for labor and $125,000 for overhead. Budgeted direct labor hours were 2,500. It takes three minutes to mix the ingredients needed for each bottle. Large (Work Order 10) and Larger (Work Order 11) flow through the Mixing Department first, then through the Cooking and Bottling departments. What is Golden Ring Company’s journal entry to apply conversion costs in the Mixing Department for Work Order 10?

Activity-based budgets compare costs for items based on activities such as

Discus Productions needs to know its anticipated cash inflows for the next quarter by month. Cash sales are 10 percent of total sales each month. Historically, sales on account have been collected as follows: 60 percent in the month of sale, 30 percent in the month after the sale, and the remaining 10 percent two months after the sale. Sales for the quarter are projected as follows: April, $120,000; May, $100,000; and June, $80,000.

Diane’s Pottery Manufacturing Company has two support departments, Maintenance Department and Personnel Department, and two producing departments, X and Y. The Maintenance Department costs of $30,000 are allocated on the basis of standard service hours used. The Personnel Department costs of $4,500 are allocated on the basis of number of employees. The direct costs of Departments X and Y are $9,000 and $15,000, respectively. Data on standard service hours and number of employees are as follows:     Maint. Person. Dept. Dept.   Dept. Dept. X Y Standard service hours used 100  75 600 300 Number of employees  50 100 150 150 Direct labor hours 125 125 500 250 ​ What are the total overhead costs associated with Department X after allocating the Maintenance and Personnel Departments using the direct method?
