For each of the following independent cases AE compute the m
Solution
Solution:
First of all we need to understand the meaning of Prime Cost and Conversion Cost.
Prime Cost
Prime Cost is the direct cost of a product or article with respect to materials and labors directly involved in the production excluding fixed costs.
Prime Cost = Direct Materials Cost + Direct Labor Cost + Direct Expense
Conversion Cost
Conversion Costs is the cost of direct labor and manufacturing overhead incurred in production. It is the cost of converting raw material into finished goods in production department.
Conversion Cost = Direct Labor + Manufacturing overhead
Total Manufacturing Cost is the sum of cost of direct material, cost of direct labor and manufacturing overhead cost incurred in producing the product.
Total Manufacturing Cost = Direct materials + Direct Labor + Manufacturing Overhead Costs
Here is the solution:
Case
Prime Cost
Conversion Cost
Direct materials
Direct Labor
Manufacturing Overhead
Total Manufacturing Cost
A
$3,280
(2100+1180)
$4,850
(1180+3670)
$2,100
$1,180
$3,670
$6,950
B
$6,880
$11,510
$2,140
$4,740
(11510 – 6770)
$6,770
$13,650
C
$4,650
(1590+3060)
$7,920
$1,590
$3,060
$4,860
(7920 – 3060)
$9,510
D
$2,880
(890+1990)
$4,920
(1990 + 2930)
$890
(5810-1990-2930)
$1,990
$2,930
$5,810
E
$11,590
$20,570
$3,390
$8,200
(11590-3390)
$12,370
(20570-8200)
$23,960
Hope the above calculations, working and explanations are clear to you and help you in understanding the concept of question.... please rate my answer...in case any doubt, post a comment and I will try to resolve the doubt ASAP…thank you
