Description

Managerial Accounting focuses heavily on finding solutions to numerical problems.  With that in mind, most units will include a number of problems.

For each problem, you will need to provide more than a simple numerical response. Your solutions should thoroughly address the issue and present the findings in a meaningful format similar to those developed within the chapters and as part of the review exercises solutions. Part value may be assigned for incorrect responses.

Question 1:

The following costs are attributed to the Gandalf and Company:

	Units	Conversion percentage complete
Work in process, March 1	10,000	50%
Units started	28,000
Completed and transferred out	19,900
Work in process, March 31	5,000	30%

Required: 

Cardiff and Company using the weighted-average method, all materials at the first process: 

1) The equivalent units (EUs) of production for materials.

2) The cost per equivalent unit for conversion.

3) The total cost assigned to units transferred out of the Heating Department during March.

4) The cost assigned to work-in-process inventory as of March 31.

	Paddle	Table
Direct materials purchased on account	$80,000	$177,500
Direct materials used	21,200	12,200
Direct manufacturing labor	41,900	53,500
Indirect manufacturing labor	8,900	9,000
Indirect materials used	5,100	4,750
Lease on equipment	14,100	3,750
Utilities	990	1,250

Project X incurred 900 machine-hours in Paddle and 200 manufacturing labor-hours in Table. The company uses a budgeted overhead rate for applying overhead to production.

Required:

1) Determine the budgeted manufacturing overhead rate for each department.

2) Prepare the journal entries for Paddle department.

3) What is the total cost of Project X?
