Lean Accounting Dashboard Inc. manufactures and assembles automobile instrument panels for both eCar Motors and Greenville Motors. The process consists of a lean product cell for each customer's instrument assembly. The data that follow concern only the eCar lean cell. For the year, Dashboard Inc. budgeted the following costs for the eCar production cell: Conversion Cost Categories Labor Budget $800,000 Supplies 275,000 I Utilities Total 325,000 $1,400,000 Dashboard Inc. plans 2,000 hours of production for the eCar cell for the year. The materials cost is $240 per instrument assembly. Each assembly requires 24 minutes of cell assembly time. There was no April 1 inventory for either Raw and In Process Inventory or Finished Goods Inventory. The following summary events took place in the eCar cell during April: a. Electronic parts and wiring were purchased to produce 450 instrument assemblies in April. b. Conversion costs were applied for the production of 400 units in April. c. 380 units were started, completed, and transferred to finished goods in April. d. 350 units were shipped to customers at a price of $800 per unit.

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. 4.

Lean accounting is different from traditional accounting because it is more simplified control. As a result, the number of transactions are reduced to a "raw and in process inventory" account and uses minimal . In many lean operations, purchased materials are charged . Direct labor is included as a conversion cost of the cell Often, nonfinancial performance measures, such as lead time or quality measures , are used to monitor performance. Feedback Check My Work 4.
