The indirect production costs incurred by the machining and finishing departments and allocated to all products there in amounted to machining, $38,000 and finishing, $42,000.
1- Compute the total costs incurred by the machining department and added by the finishing department.
2- Compute the total costs of each product that would be shown as finished-goods inventory if all the products were transferred to finished stock on completion. ( There were no beginning inventories.)
Explanation / Answer
1) Total Cost = 38,000+42,000 = 80,000
2)
Product Wise
Sigma = 40/100 * 80,000 = 32,000
Chi = 30/100 * 80,000 = 24,000
Delta = 32,000
