A product passes through three processes-P, Q and R. The details of expenses incurred on the three processes during the year 2019 were as under : P R Units Issued 10,000 $ 100 Cost per Unit Sundry Materials Labour Sale Price of Output (per unit) Management expenses during the year were $ 80,000 and selling expenses were $ 50,000. These are not allocable to the processes. Actual output of the three processes was : Process P-9,300 units ; Process Q-5,400 units ; Process R-2,100 units. Two-thirds of the output of Process P and one-half of the output of Process Q was passed on to the next process and the balance was sold. The entire output of Process R was sold. The normal loss of the three processes, calculated on the input of every process, was: Process P-5%; Process Q-15% ; and Process R–20%. The loss of Process P was sold at $ 2 per unit, that of Process Q at $ 5 per unit and that of Process R at $ 10 per unit. Prepare the three Process Accounts and the Profit & Loss A/c 16,000 30,000…

Self-Construction Olson Machine Company manufactures small and large milling machines. Selling prices of these machines range from 35,000 to 200,000. During the 5-month period from August 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019, Olson manufactured a milling machine for its own use. This machine was built as part of the regular production activities. The project required a large amount of time front planning and supervisory personnel, as well as that of some of the companys officers, because it was a more sophisticated type of machine than the regular production models. Throughout the 5-month period, Olson charged all costs directly associated with the construction of the machine to a special account entitled Asset Construction Account. An analysis of the charges to this account as of December 31, 2019, follows: Olson allocates factory overhead to normal production as a percent of direct labor dollars as follows: Olson uses a flat rate of 40% of direct labor dollars to allocate general and administrative overhead. During the machine testing period, a cutter head malfunctioned and did extensive damage to the machine table and one cutter housing. This damage was not anticipated and was the result of an error in the assembly operation. Although no additional raw materials were needed to make the machine operational after the accident, the following labor for rework was required: Olson has included all these labor charges in the asset construction account. In addition, it included in the account the repairs and maintenance charges of 1,340 that it incurred as a result of the malfunction. Required: 1. Compute, consistent with GAAP and common practice, the amount that Olson should capitalize for the milling machine as of December 31, 2019, when it declares the machine operational. 2. Next Level Identify the costs you included in Requirement 1 for which there are acceptable alternative procedures. Describe the alternative procedure(s) in each case.
