Supreme Manufacturing was founded over 35 years ago in East Brunswick, NJ. Supremes Muy Refresc de Tropical line of Horchata, Tamarindo, and Jamaica drinks are lovingly re-created from Latino recipes handed down through the generations. The Muy Refresc de Tropical line uses only natural cinnamon, vanilla, rice, tamarind root, and hibiscus flower, and is sweetened only with all-natural cane sugar. A long-time cultural favorite, the popularity of Horchata, Tamarindo, and Jamaicas has exploded in recent years. This is due to both the general markets exposure to aguas frescas, and the rapid growth of the Latino markets population and buying power. The U.S. Latino population is currently growing faster than the general market with growth of 43% over the last 10 yearsor 16.3% of the entire U.S. population. Along with this growth, a new awareness of the potential health dangers of processed, sugary foods has emerged across all markets. Muy Refresco de Tropicals natural ingredients and real cane sugar mean theyre free of fat, cholesterol, caffeine, lactose, and gluten. Supremes Horchata, Tamarindo, and Jamaica: a naturally delicious, healthier alternative to todays sugary sodas.

Each flavor is available in 64 fl. oz. bottles and sold for $12 each. The first stage in the production process is carried out in the Mixing Department, which removes foreign matter from the raw materials and mixes them in the proper proportions in large vats. The company uses the FIFO method in its process costing system. Production data for the month of April appears below:

The What If part of the assignment will help you determine whether you have correctly used cell referencing in your spreadsheets. In your data block page make the following changes:

1. Beginning inventory for WIP, May 1 is 40,000 units; 75% complete as to material costs and 75% complete as to conversion costs. (This is April 30, 2021 ending inventory from the previous report which becomes May 1, 2021 beginning inventory in this report.)
2. Ending WIP inventory, May 31, 2021 is 20,000 units; 80% complete as to material costs and 75% complete as to conversion costs.
3. Units started into production for May are 200,000.
4. Carryover the material and conversion costs assigned to the ending WIP 4/30/2021 (from the April report) as the beginning WIP inventory prior period costs. (Material Costs $90,000 and Conversion Costs: $38,097.)
5. Costs added during May are: $613,880 for materials and $274,300 for conversion.
6. Change the date in the heading to be For the Month Ended May 31, 2021.

Your spreadsheets should automatically recalculate using the new data. You should not have to change any of the cell references or formulas for either of your statements. (If you dothen you have done the cell referencing incorrectly.) You are only changing the Data Block page. .
