11. Please answer THE NEXT 2 questions using the following information.
An engineering firm incurs the following costs on a project up to June 30th: Beginning balances:
Project design - $ 2,400
Installation - $38,800
Cleanup and service - $ 4,150
The project is completed in July, with the following costs incurred: design labor - $1,200; installation materials and supplies - $2,650; direct labor - $7,180; service costs - $1,470.
Job costs are categorized as direct materials, direct labor, and service overhead; costs are categorized as design, installation, and service costs.
If service overhead charges for installation costs are 60% of direct labor costs, and the charge for project design is 25% of design labor costs, total installation costs are:
a. $45,758 b. $48,630 c. $52,938 d. $53,238

13. A specific job, #176, requires $600 of materials from Dept. 1 and $850 of materials from Dept. 2; $320 and $120 labor dollars from Dept. 1 and Dept. 2, respectively; 8 and 30 machine hours from Dept.1 and Dept. 2, respectively; and 40 and 10 direct labor hours from Dept. 1 and Dept. 2, respectively. The predetermined overheard rate is based on direct labor dollars in department 1, and on machine hours in department 2. At the beginning of the year following estimates were generated for departments 1 and 2, respectively,: factory overhead: $50,000, $75,000; machine hours: 6,250, 12,500; direct labor ($): $40,000, $37,500; direct labor (hours): 5,000, 3,125. The total cost of job #176 is:
a. $1,890 b. $2,470 c. $2,446 d. $2,530.50

c. Process costing requires that costs incurred be assigned to specific job orders. d. In a process cost system, the product unit cost is the sum of the cost elements added in all departments.
e. All of the above statements are TRUE.

16. Given a production process in which 1500 units were started during the period and the ending Work in Process Inventory was 500 units (60% complete as to conversion costs), the equivalent unit production as to conversion costs for the month (assume no beginning Work in Process Inventory) would be:

Materials costs and conversion costs in the beginning Work in Process Inventory totaled $12,000 and $16,000, respectively. Ending Work in Process Inventory is 4,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 20% complete as to conversion costs. (The firm uses the average costing approach).
