Assignment Instructions/ Description
CRITICAL THINKING ASSIGNMENT (100 points):
Complete the following questions using Microsoft Excel. No other submission format is allowed. Review the grading rubric to confirm you are meeting the assignment requirements.
Consider the following information for Hamburg Corporation:
UnitsBeginning inventory 80,000Units started during the year 150,000Ending inventory 62,000
Inventory is 100% complete as to materials and 60% complete as to conversion.
Materials ConversionBeginning costs (SAR) 420,000 687,000Costs added during the period (SAR) 1,250,000 983,000
Using the WEIGHTED AVERAGE method:
Calculate the number of units completed during the period.Calculate equivalent units for conversion during the period.Calculate cost per equivalent units for Materials.Mannheim Corporation manufactures small camping tents and family camping tents. Estimated direct labor time to produce each type of tent is as follows:
Small FamilyEstimated tents produced 25,000 10,000Direct labor hours per tent 2 5
Estimated overhead for the period = 1,200,000 SAR.
Compute the overhead cost assigned to each type of tent assuming direct labor hours are used to allocate overhead costs.The controller is not satisfied with the traditional method of allocating overhead because he believes that most of the overhead costs relate to the family tent product line because of its complexity. He therefore developed the following three activity cost pools and related cost drivers to better understand the costs.
