PROBLEM 4-37 (35 MINUTES)

1. Conversion cost per unit in department I:

direct labor + manufacturing overhead


=
units produced*
$38,000 + $230,000
=
11,000 + 4,000 + 5,000
=$13. 40 per uni t

*Note that all of the products sold after processing in departments I, II, or III were
produced orginally in department I.

2. Conversion cost per unit in department II:


direct labor + manufacturing overhead
=
units produced*
$22,000+$68,000
=
4,000+5,000
=$10.00 per unit
*Note that all of the products sold after processing in departments II and III were colored
in department II.

3. Cost of a clear glass sheet:


direct material per conversion cost per
= unit in department I + unit in department I

$450,000
= +$13.40
20,000
=$35.90 per sheet
4. Cost of an unetched, colored glass sheet:
cost per clear direct material conversion cost per
= glass sheet + per unit in department II + unit in department II

$72,000
=$35.90+ +$10. 00
9,000
=$53.90 per sheet
5. Cost of an etched, colored glass sheet:
cost per unetched conversion cost per
= colored glass sheet + unit in department III
