Production data:

Units in process, July 1 (materials 100% complete; conversion 30% complete) 10,000
Units started into production 170,000
Units in process, July 31 (materials 100% complete; conversion 40% complete) 20,000
Cost data:
Work in process inventory, July 1:
Materials cost $8,500

Answer:

a) EU for materials = 170,000

EU for conversion = 165,000

c) Ending WIP = $28,240

Units transferred out = $368,760

d) cost reconciliation report:

Costs to be accounted for:

Cost accounted for as follows:  

Explanation:

beginning WIP 10,000

materials 100% complete (0% added during the period)

conversion 30% complete (70% added during the period) ⇒ 7,000 EU

units started 170,000

ending WIP 20,000

materials 100% complete ⇒ 20,000 EU

conversion 40% complete ⇒ 8,000 EU

units completed = 160,000

units started and completed = 150,000

beginning WIP costs:

Materials cost $8,500

Conversion cost $4,900

costs added during the period:

Materials cost $139,400

Conversion cost $244,200

Equivalent units for July:

EU for materials = 170,000

EU for conversion = 7,000 + 150,000 + 8,000 = 165,000

Costs per EU:

Materials = $139,400  / 170,000 = $0.82 per EU

Conversion = $244,200 / 165,000 = $1.48 per EU

Total costs:

Ending WIP = (20,000 x $0.82) + (8,000 x $1.48) = $28,240

Units transferred out = ($383,600 - $28,240) + $8,500 + $4,900 = $368,760

Costs to be accounted for:

Cost accounted for as follows:

After visiting several automobile dealerships, Richard selects the used car he wants. He likes its $19,300 price, but financing through the dealer is no bargain. He has $3,000 cash for a down payment, so he needs an $16,300 loan. In shopping at several banks for an installment loan, he learns that interest on most automobile loans is quoted at add-on rates. That is, during the life of the loan, interest is paid on the full amount borrowed even though a portion of the principal has been paid back. Richard borrows $16,300 for a period of four years at an add-on interest rate of 10 percent.1. What is the total interest on Richard's loan? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Bonita Marina has 300 available slips that rent for $900 per season. Payments must be made in full by the start of the boating season, April 1, 2021. The boating season ends October 31, and the marina has a December 31 year-end. Slips for future seasons may be reserved if paid for by December 31, 2021.
