Job cost accounting mini practice set

Mini-Practice Set One - Instructions Job Order Cost Accounting You have learned how to account for the basic elements of manufacturing costs. This practice set combines these various techniques and principles in a practical application for Storage Solutions, Inc. You will be required to perform the duties not only of the cost accountant but also of the storeroom clerk, voucher clerk, and other factory personnel. Storage Solutions, Inc. Storage Solutions, Inc. is a manufacturer of modular storage and media units for the home and office. The components manufactured by the company include bookcases, entertainment centers, and shelving units. These products are popular because of their trendy design features and ability to be arranged in multiple configurations. Production is divided between custom orders and standard models manufactured for stock. The Production Division consists of three producing departments and two service departments. The producing departments are Shaping, Assembly, and Finishing. The service departments are Building Services and General Factory. The production process begins in the Shaping Department, where wood, glass, and plastic are shaped into the component parts that make up the finished units. These parts are transferred to the Assembly Department where they are assembled. In the Finishing Department, a variety of finishes are applied and hardware is attached to the assembled units. The Building Services and General Factory departments perform activities similar to those described for Grand Slam Uniforms in the textbook. Finished products are sold to home furnishing stores across the country. Cost Accounting System Storage Solutions' cost accounting system includes a number of journals, ledgers, and cost accounting forms. All forms are provided. Entries have been made on these forms where indicated. Journals The seven journals used for making original entries are listed here, as are the initials to be used for posting references.
