Computing Equivalent Units, FIFO and Weighted Average Cost Methods
Assume each of the following conditions concerning the data given:
All materials are added at the beginning of the process.
All materials are added at the end of the process. (Note that this would have to be a department subsequent to the first department for all materials to be added at the end of the process, but ignore that fact for purposes of this solution.)
Half of the materials are added at the beginning of the process, and the balance of the materials is added when the units are three-fourths completed.
In all cases, labor and factory overhead are added evenly throughout the process.
Which of the following statements is true? Select
one:
a. The most complex of the cost estimation
methods is the high-low method.
b. In approximating the cost function, the
account analysis classifies costs based upon
an industrial engineer's evaluation of
production methods, and material, labor, and
overhead requirements.
c. The high-low method is used to derive an
estimated line of cost behavior by graphically
connecting the two cost amounts identified
with the highest and lowest volume levels.
d. Engineering approach approximates cost
function by classifying each account as either
variable or fixed based on the analyst's
knowledge of how the account behaves.
e. The high-low method of deriving an
estimated cost line uses all the data points
Indicate which of the following phrases correctly completesthis sentence: “Equivalent units of production . . .” (Indicateall correct answers.)a. Are a measure of productive activity.b. Represent work done on units still in process, as well asthose completed during the period.c. Are used as the basis for computing per-unit costs inmost process cost accounting systems.
d. Are computed separately for each significant input con-sumed in the production process.

Required information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] For many years, Thomson Company manufactured a single product called LEC 40. Then three years ago, the company automated a portion of its plant and at the same time introduced a second product called LEC 90 that has become increasingly popular. The LEC 90 is a more complex product, requiring 0.60 hours of direct labor time per unit to manufacture and extensive machining in the automated portion of the plant. The LEC 40 requires only 0.20 hours of direct labor time per unit and only a small amount of machining. Manufacturing overhead costs are currently assigned to products on the basis of direct labor-hours. Despite the growing popularity of the company's new LEC 90, profits have been declining steadily. Management is beginning to believe that there may be a problem with the company's costing system. Direct material and direct labor costs per unit are as follows: Direct materials Direct labor…arrow_forward
