Compute the selling price per composite unit

Accounting

During July, the production department of a process operations system completed and transferred to finished goods 39,000 units that were in process at the beginning of July and 65,000 that were started and completed in July. July's beginning inventory units were 100% complete with respect to materials and 45% complete with respect to labor. At the end of July, 26,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 100% complete with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect to labor. The beginning inventory included labor cost of $53,100 and the production department incurred direct labor cost of $451,950 during July. Compute the direct labor cost per equivalent unit for the department using the weighted-average method.

Major League Bat Company manufactures baseball bats. In addition to its work in process inventories, the company maintains inventories of raw materials and finished goods. It uses raw materials as direct materials in production and as indirect materials. Its factory payroll costs include direct labor for production and indirect labor. All materials are added at the beginning of the process, and conversion costs are applied uniformly throughout the production process.

Required:

You are to maintain records and produce measures of inventories to reflect the July events of this company. The June 30 balances: Raw Materials Inventory, $35,000; Work in Process Inventory, $10,065 ($3,460 of direct materials and $6,605 of conversion); Finished Goods Inventory, $160,000; Sales, $0; Cost of Goods Sold, $0; Factory Payroll Payable, $0; and Factory Overhead, $0. 1. Prepare journal entries to record the following July transactions and events.

a. Purchased raw materials for $195,000 cash (the company uses a perpetual inventory system).

b. Used raw materials as follows: direct materials, $61,340; and indirect materials, $18,000.

c. Recorded factory payroll payable costs as follows: direct labor, $222,250; and indirect labor, $33,000.

d. Paid factory payroll cost of $255,250 with cash (ignore taxes).

e. Incurred additional factory overhead costs of $96,000 paid in cash.

f. Allocated factory overhead to production at 50% of direct labor costs.

2. Information about the July inventories follows. Use this information with that from part 1 to prepare a process cost summary, assuming the weighted-average method is used. (Round "Cost per EUP" to 2 decimal places.)

g. Total costs transferred to finished goods for July.

h. Sale of finished goods costing $305,700 for $705,000 in cash.

4. Post entries from parts 1 and 3 to the following general ledger accounts.

5. Compute the amount of gross profit from the sales in July. (Add any underapplied overhead to, or deduct any overapplied overhead from, the cost of goods sold.)

After reading an article about activity-based costing in a trade journal for the furniture industry, Santana Rey wondered if it was time to critically analyze overhead costs at Business Solutions. In a recent month, Santana found that setup costs, inspection costs, and utility costs made up most of its overhead. Additional information about overhead follows.
