1. Maker Systems manufactures automated test systems that perform quality inspections during and at the completion of the manufacturing process. As most manufacturing processes are unique, Maker's test equipment is designed to customer specifications, and each system has a selling price in excess of $300,000. The company uses a job-order cost system based on the full absorption of actual costs and applies overhead on the basis of machine hours using a predetermined overhead rate. For the fiscal year ended November 30 budgeted manufacturing overhead was $1,960,000, and the expected activity level was 98,000 machine hours. Data regarding several jobs at Maker are presented below.
By the end of November all jobs but RX-115 were completed, and all completed jobs had been delivered to customers with the exception of SL-205.

4. Walter manufactures a silicone paste wax that goes through three processing departments: cracking, blending, and packing. All raw materials are introduced at the start of work in the cracking department, with conversion costs being incurred uniformly in each department. The Work-in-Process T-account for the cracking department for July is:

The beginning balance inventory consists of $43,400 in materials cost. Brady uses the weighted-average method to account for its operations.

Required (use 4 decimal places for computations):

(a) What would be the Cracking Department inventory balance on July 31?
(b) What would be the cost transferred to the Blending Dept. in July?

6. Fosson Furniture uses a process cost system to account for its chair factory. Beginning inventory consisted of 5,000 units (100% complete as to material, 55% complete as to labor) with a cost of $124,800 materials and $104,500 conversion. 58,000 units were started into production during the month with material costs of $1,537,000 and $2,124,375 of conversion costs. The ending inventory of 6,000 chairs was 100% complete as to materials and 40% complete as to labor. Fosson uses weighted-average costing.

Required: (HINT: use 4 decimal places in your calculations)

a. Compute the equivalent units of production for each input.
b. Compute the cost per unit.
c. Compute the cost transferred out to finished goods.
d. Compute the ending work-in-process inventory balance.

7. Get Real Inc., recently switched to activity-based costing from the department allocation method. The Fabrication Department manager has estimated the following cost drivers and rates:

Direct materials of $420,000 were put into production during July, and direct labor costs were $210,000. The Fabrication Department handled 5,250 pounds of materials, made 1,050 inspections, had 56 setups, and ran the machines for 21,000 hours during the month.

Required:

Prepare a schedule of the costs applied to work-in-process for July:

Jones Company manufactures and distributes three types of golf clubs: beginners, intermediate, and advanced. The materials used in these clubs increases in each level and allows for more precise balancing and longer wear. Production is highly automated for the beginners' clubs, whereas the intermediate and advanced clubs require a varying degree of labor, depending on the intricacy of the balancing process. Jones applies all indirect costs according to a predetermined rate based on direct labor hours. A consultant recently suggested that Jones switch to an activity-based costing (ABC) system, and identified the following cost breakdown for the upcoming year:
