Hoffman Company manufactures car seats in its Miami plant. Each car seat passes through the assembly department and the testing department. This problem focuses on the assembly department. The process- costing system at Hoffman Company has a single direct- cost category (direct materials) and a single indirect- cost category (conversion costs). Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are added evenly during the process. When the assembly department finishes work on each car seat, it is immediately transferred to testing. Hoffman Company uses the weighted- average method of process costing. Data for the assembly department for October 2013 are as follows:
Physical Units car costs Direct Conversion
Materials Costs
Work in process, Oct 1 *a 4,000 $1,248,000 $241,650
Started during Oct 2017 22,500
Complete during Oct 2017 26,000
Work in process, Oct 31 *b 500
Total costs added during Oct 2017 $4,635,000 $2,575,125
a - Degree of completion: direct materials,?%; conversion costs, 45%.
b - Degree of completion: direct materials,?%; conversion costs, 65%.
1. For each cost category, compute equivalent units in the assembly department. Show physical units in the first column of your schedule.
2. What issues should the manager focus on when reviewing the equivalent-unit calculations?
3. For each cost category, summarize total assembly department costs for October 2017 and calculate the cost per equivalent unit.
4. Assign costs to units completed and transferred out and to units in ending work in process.

Answer:

Hoffman Company

1. Equivalent units, using the weighted-average method:

                                            Physical      Direct             Conversion

                                               Units     Materials        

Complete during Oct 2017 26,000   26,000 (100%)  26,000 (100%)

Work in process, Oct 31 *b      500         500 (100%)        325 (65%)

Total equivalent units                        26,500              26,325

2. The manager should focus on the tendency of departmental head reporting higher degree of completion to demonstrate improved performance of their departments.  This will result in understated cost per equivalent unit and overstated operating income.

Again, when performance is too good, the departmental supervisor might be tempted to report lower degree of completion, which reduces the current period's income.  The issue is that unchecked estimates of degree of completion can help smooth earnings from one period to the next for the departments.  But this is not in the best interest of the company.

3. Cost per equivalent unit:

                                           Direct         Conversion

                                        Materials          Costs

Total production cost $5,883,000     $2,816,775

Total equivalent units       26,500           26,325

Bergamo Bay's computer system generated the following trial balance on December 31, 2017. The company's manager knows something is wrong with the trial balance because it does not show any balance for Work in Process Inventory but does show a balance for the Factory Overhead account. In addition, the accrued factory payroll (Factory Wages Payable) has not been recorded.
After examining various files, the manager identifies the following six source documents that need to be processed to bring the accounting records up to date.
Materials requisition 21-3010: ............................$10,200 direct materials to Job 402
Materials requisition 21-3011: ............................$18,600 direct materials to Job 404
Materials requisition 21-3012: ........................................$5,600 indirect materials
Labor time ticket 6052: ........................................$36,000 direct labor to Job 402
Labor time ticket 6053: ........................................$23,800 direct labor to Job 404
Labor time ticket 6054: ....................................................$8,200 indirect labor
Jobs 402 and 404 are the only units in process at year-end. The predetermined overhead rate is 200% of direct labor cost.
Required
1. Use information on the six source documents to prepare journal entries to assign the following costs.
a. Direct materials costs to Work in Process Inventory.
b. Direct labor costs to Work in Process Inventory.
c. Overhead costs to Work in Process Inventory.
d. Indirect materials costs to the Factory Overhead account.
e. Indirect labor costs to the Factory Overhead account.

Scenario #3: Isaiah


Isaiah is in his 50s and currently does not have a retirement fund. However, he recently read a few articles about the insufficient savings of people in retirement and, as a result, he decides he wants to start now. He saves $500 per month for 15 years and earns 7% by investing in the stock market* through an index fund.


9. What is the total balance in the account after 15 years?


10. How much of the total did Isaiah contribute himself?


11. How much money did Isaiah make through compounded returns in this investment account?


12. Explain why Isaiah’s total balance is less than Pamela’s even though his money earned the same rate of return and his monthly contribution was higher than hers.

You and your friends hike a total of 8 miles to the nearest campsite (Activity A). Upon arriving you break off into teams. One team will set up tents and hammocks for everyone to sleep in (Activity B). At the same time, another team will get wood for a fire (Activity C). Once they have the wood, that same team then proceeds to start the fire (Activity D). The third team will walk to find water (Activity E) and once they find it they will to collect water and bring it back to camp (Activity F). Once the fire is ready and the water is brought back to camp the two groups- the one collecting firewood and the one collecting water- will then purify the water (Activity G). Once the camp is set up and the water is purified everyone will come together and cook dinner around the campfire (Activity H). Once dinner is prepared and eaten half of the group stays behind to put out the fire (Activity I) and half of the group walks away from the campsite to dispose of the food waste (Activity J).
