Com-Tel Inc. manufactures and assembles two models of smartphones-the Tiger Model and the Lion Model. The process consists of a lean cell for each product. The data that follow concern only the Lion Model lean cell.

For the year, Com-Tel Inc. budgeted these costs for the Lion Model production cell:

Conversion Cost Categories		Budget
Labor		$95,000
Supplies		36,000
Utilities		13,000
Total		$144,000

Com-Tel plans 2,000 hours of production for the Lion Model cell for the year. The materials cost is $61 per unit. Each assembly requires 18 minutes of cell assembly time. There was no May 1 inventory for either Raw and In Process Inventory or Finished Goods Inventory.

The following summary events took place in the Lion Model cell during May:

1. Electronic parts were purchased to produce 6,800 Lion Model assemblies in May.
2. Conversion costs were applied for 6,450 units of production in May.
3. 6,320 units were completed and transferred to finished goods in May.
4. 6,130 units were shipped to customers at a price of $288 per unit.

3. In lean manufacturing, there are fewer transactions to record, thus simplifying the accounting system. Some accounts are combined. For example, all in-process work is combined with raw materials to form a new account, Raw and In Process (RIP) Inventory and direct labor is also combined with other costs to form a new account titled Conversion Costs. Indirect labor is directly assigned to product cells; thus, less factory overhead is allocated to products. The cell conversion rate is similar to a predetermined factory overhead rate, except that it includes all conversion costs in the numerator.
