Ortega Industries Inc. manufactures in separate processes furniture for homes. In each process, materials are entered at the beginning, and conversion costs are incurred uniformly. Production and cost data for the first process in making two products in two different manufacturing plants are as follows.

Hint:
Complete four steps necessary to prepare a production cost report.
Instructions
a) For each plant:
1. Compute the physical units of production.
2. Compute equivalent units of production for materials and for conversion costs.
3. Determine the unit costs of production.
4. Show the assignment of costs to units transferred out and in process.
(b) Prepare the production cost report for Plant 1 for July 2008.

How global competition impacts ford
: Determine how global competition impacts FORD. Should the organization/industry continue, expand, or reduce current operations in order to maximize profits? Explain your reasoning.

Agricultural demand and innnovation
: Because agricultural demand is inelastic, a technological advance which lowers production costs will reduce total revenue. Thus, farmers have no incentive to introduce such a technique.
