Below is a problem related to just-in-time system and backflush costing. Can you answer them? (with solutions).
- Swift Comapny has a 3-day-cycle, and uses a Raw and In-process (RIP) account and charges all conversion costs to Cost of Goods Sold (COGS).
- At the end of each month, all inventories are counted, conversion costs components are estimated and inventory account balances are adjusted.
Raw material cost is backflushed from RIP to Finished Goods Inventory (FGI). The following information is provided for the month of May:
RIP - beginning, including USD 1,000 conversion cost 5,000
FGI - beginning, including USD 6,000 conversion cost 10,000
Raw materials received on credit 400,000
Direct labor cost 300,000
Factory overhead applied 500,000
RIP - end, per physical count, including USD 7,000 conversion cost 20,000
FGI - end, per physical count, including USD 4,000 conversion cost 6,000
Question 1. How much conversion costs is included in COGS for the month of May
Question 2. How much direct materials is backflushed from RIP to FGI?
Question 3. How much direct materials is backflushed from FGI to COGS?
