Chapter 3, Problem 1MAD
Dura-Conduit Corporation manufactures plastic conduit that is used in the cable industry. A conduit is a tube that encircles and protects the underground cable. In the process for making the plastic conduit, called extrusion, the melted plastic (resin) is pressed through a die to form a tube. Scrap is produced in this process.
Information from the cost of production reports for three months is as follows, assuming that inventory remains constant:
Assume that there is one-half pound of resin per foot of the finished product.
- a. Determine the resin materials cost per foot of finished product for each month. Round to the nearest whole cent.
- b. Determine the ratio of the number of resin pounds output in conduit by the number of pounds input into the process for each month. Round percentages to one decimal place.
- c.
Interpret the resin materials cost per foot for the three months. Use the information in (a) and (b) to explain what is happening. - d. Determine the conversion cost per foot of finished product for each month and interpret the result.

The average daily usage is 800 components, and the maximum daily usage is 875 components. Required: Compute the reorder point assuming that safety stock is carried by Eyring Manufacturing. How much safety stock is carried by Eyring?arrow_forwardHealthway uses a process-costing system to compute the unit costs of the minerals that it produces. It has three departments: Mixing, Tableting, and Bottling. In Mixing, at the beginning of the process all materials are added and the ingredients for the minerals are measured, sifted, and blended together. The mix is transferred out in gallon containers. The Tableting Department takes the powdered mix and places it in capsules. One gallon of powdered mix converts to 1,600 capsules. After the capsules are filled and polished, they are transferred to Bottling where they are placed in bottles, which are then affixed with a safety seal and a lid and labeled. Each bottle receives 50 capsules. During July, the following results are available for the first two departments (direct materials are added at the beginning in both departments): Overhead in both departments is applied as a percentage of direct labor costs. In the Mixing Department, overhead is 200 percent of direct labor. In the Tableting Department, the overhead rate is 150 percent of direct labor. Required: 1. Prepare a production report for the Mixing Department using the weighted average method. Follow the five steps outlined in the chapter. Round unit cost to three decimal places. 2. Prepare a production report for the Tableting Department. Materials are added at the beginning of the process. Follow the five steps outlined in the chapter.
