Explanation / Answer

1. Budgeted cell conversion cost per hour = $1400000/2000 hours = $700 per hour

2. Budgeted cell conversion cost per unit = $1400000/5000 = $280 per unit

Number of units assembled = (2000 hours x 60)/24 minutes = 120000 mins/24 mins = 5000 units

3.

4. Ending balances:

Raw and In process inventory: $108000 + $112000 - $197600 = $22400

Finished Goods Inventory: $197600 - $182000 = $15600
