Cost of Normal Spoilage
Frieling Company installs granite countertops in customers' homes. First, the customer chooses the particular granite slab, and then Frieling measures the countertop area at the customer's home, cuts the granite to that shape, and installs it. The Tramel job calls for direct materials of $1,900 and direct labor of $500. Overhead is applied at the rate of 140 percent of direct labor cost. Unfortunately, one small countertop breaks during installation and Frieling must cut another piece and install it to properly complete the job. The additional rework required direct materials costing $400 and direct labor costing $100. Assume that the spoilage was due to carelessness by a Frieling worker and it is considered to be normal spoilage.
Required:
1. Calculate the cost of the Tramel job.
2. Make any needed journal entry to the overhead control account.
3. What if the additional rework required $200 of direct labor? What would be the effect on the cost of the Tramel job?

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

1. Cost of the Tramel Job

= Direct material cost + Direct labor cost + Overhead applied

= $1,900 + $500 + (140% × $500)

= $1,900 + $500 + $700

= $3,100

2. Journal entry to record the overhead cost

Overhead cost account Dr $500

To Material account Cr $400

To Labor account Cr $100

3. Effect of additional rework required $200 of direct labor on the cost of Tramel job

= Direct material cost + Direct labor cost + Overhead applied

= $1,900 + ($500 + $200) + (140% × $500)

= $1,900 + $700 + $700

= $3,300

The effect of additional rework required of $200 of direct labor cost is an increase of $200 on the cost of job for Tramel

The objectives of labor unions frequently shift with social and economic trends. In the 1970s, the primary objective was additional pay and benefits for members. In the 1980s, job security and union recognition were uppermost. In the 1990s and into the 2000s, unions again focused on job security due to the growth of global competition and outsourcing. Organized labor has also strongly opposed the increase in offshore outsourcing, claiming this practice will cost U.S. jobs. Labor unions generally insist that a contract contain a union security clause stipulating that employees who reap union benefits either officially join or at least pay dues to the union. Edward was recently transferred to a location in a new state. He was surprised that he was not required to be in the union in the new state, but he was in the old state. He later learned that the new state passed a provision giving him the choice.

Sound Tek Inc. manufactures electronic stereo equipment. The manufacturing process includes printed circuit (PC) board assembly, final assembly, testing, and shipping. In the PC board assembly operation, a number of individuals are responsible for assembling electronic components into printed circuit boards. Each operator is responsible for soldering components according to a given set of instructions. Operators work on batches of 50 printed circuit boards. Each board requires 4 minutes of board assembly time. After each batch is completed, the operator moves the assembled boards to the final assembly area. This move takes 12 minutes to complete. The final assembly for each stereo unit requires 20 minutes and is also done in batches of 50 units. A batch of 50 stereos is moved into the test building, which is across the street. The move takes 20 minutes. Before conducting the test, the test equipment must be set up for the particular stereo model. The test setup requires 30 minutes. The units wait while the setup is performed. In the final test, the 50-unit batch is tested one at a time. Each test requires 9 minutes. The completed batch, after all testing, is sent to shipping for packaging and final shipment to customers. A complete batch of 50 units is sent from testing to shipping. The Shipping Department is located next to testing. Thus, there is no move time between these two operations. Packaging and labeling requires 12 minutes per unit.

Required:
Determine the amount of value-added and non-value-added lead time and the value-added ratio in this process for an average stereo unit in a batch of 45 units.
