Physical Flow, Equivalent Units, Unit Costs, No Beginning WIP Inventory, Activity$-$Based Costing, DBC

McKay, Inc., produces a subassembly used in the production of hydraulic cylinders. The subassemblies are produced in three departments: Plate Cutting, Rod Cutting, and Welding. Materials are added at the beginning of the process. Overhead is applied using the following drivers and activity rates:

Driver Rate Actual Usage

$($by Plate Cutting$)$

Direct labor cost $120\%$ of direct labor $$330,000$

Inspection hours $$40$ per hour $4,002$ hours

Number of moves $$100$ per move $1,680$ moves

During the first quarter, the Plate Cutting Department used $20,000$ hours $($direct$,$ indirect, and machine hours$)$ to produce the quarter's output. Other quarterly data for the Plate Cutting Department are as follows:

Beginning work in process, January $1$

Units started $90,000$

Direct materials cost $$720,000$

Units, ending work in process $(100\%$

materials; $64\%$ conversion$),$ March $316,000$

$5.$ Suppose the plant manager asked the following questions:

a$.$ What is the actual cycle time for the conversion cost output for the plate subassembly $($round to four decimal places$)?$

b$.$ What is the conversion cost rate for the first quarter, using total conversion costs and total time $($round to the nearest cent$)?$

c$.$ What is the conversion cost per unit, using duration$-$based costing $($round to the nearest cent$)?$

d$.$ According to production engineering, if efficiency were increased to an ideal level, then the cycle time should be $0\mathrm{.}20$ hours. If this were to occur, what would the cost per plate be$?($round to the nearest cent$)?$

Please answer question $5,$ parts a$-$d please.
