Appendix: Normal and Abnormal Spoilage in Process Casting, Changes in Output Measures, Multiple Departments Grayson Company produces an industrial chemical used for cleaning and lubricating machinery. In the Mixing Department, liquid and dry chemicals are blended to form slurry. Output is measured in gallons. In the Baking Department, the slurry is subjected to high heat, and the residue appears in irregular lumps. Output is measured in pounds. In the Grinding Department, the irregular lumps are ground into a powder, and this powder is placed in 50-pound bags. Output is measured in bags produced. In April, the company reported the following data: a. The Mixing Department transferred 50,400 gallons to the Balking Department, casting s302,400. Each gallon of slurry weighs two pounds. b. The Baking Department transferred 100,800 pounds (irregular lumps) to the Grinding Department. At the beginning of the month, there were 5,600 gallons of slurry in process, 35 percent complete, costing $43,500 (transferred-in cost of $33,600 plus conversion cost of $9,900). No additional direct materials are added in the Baking Department. At the end of April, there was no ending work in process. Conversion costs for the month totaled $215,208. Normal loss during baking is 5 percent of good output. All transferred-in materials are lost, but since loss occurs uniformly throughout the process, only 50 percent of the conversion units are assumed to be lost. C. The Grinding Department transferred 2,520 bags of chemicals to its finished goods warehouse. Beginning work in process for this department was 26,000 pounds, 30 percent complete with the following costs: transferred-in cost, $133,000; conversion cost, $18,000. Bags are used at the end of the process and cost $1.20 each. During bagging, normally one out of every 11 bags is tom and must be discarded. No powder is lost the tearing occurs when the bag is being attached to a funnel). Conversion costs for the month's production are $185,640. There is no ending work in process. Required: needed 1. Using FIFO, calculate the cost per bag of chemicals transferred to the finished goods warehouse. Round per-unit costs to the nearest cent. Round other solutions to the nearest unit or dollar Baking Department (to obtain the cost of goods transferred out): Units to account for: Beginning work in process Units started Total units to account for Units accounted for: Units transferred out Normal spoilage Abnormal spoilage Total units accounted for Equivalent Units Transferred Conversion Costs In Total equivalent units Total unit cost Cost of units transferred out: Started and competed Prior period costs Costs to finish Normal spoilage ton Total Grinding Department: Total units accounted for Note: (For direct materials: 11 bags are used to get 10 good bags).
