Prine Co. manufactures bentwood chairs and tables. Wood for both products is steam-bent in the same process, but different types of wood are used for each product. Thus, materials cost is identified separately to each product. One production cycle uses 20 board feet. Labor cost is identified to the process as a whole, as is overhead cost. Data for the month of July follow:

Chairs Tables
Direct material cost per board foot $ 3.60 $ 4.20
Number of parts formed per production cycle (20 board feet) 10 8
Actual operating hours in July 120 380
Parts produced during July 4,000 9,000

Budgeted annual conversion cost:
Labor $150,000
Utilities 125,000
Depreciation 65,000
Other overhead 50,000
Total $390,000

Budgeted annual operating hours for steam-bending 5,200

(a) Compute July's predetermined rate for the steam-bending process.
(b) Compute July's direct material costs for chairs and tables.
(c) Compute conversion costs to be applied to chairs and tables in July.
(d) Journalize the following entries:
(1) Assignment of direct materials to chairs and tables.

(3) The transfer of completed chairs and tables to the Finishing Department. All of July's production was completed in July.

Since you didn't bother to read the rules and want someone else to do your work for you... I am posting the rules.


Read this first: Expectations for the Homework Help board
Do not simply retype or paste a question from your book or study material

We won't do your homework questions for you.
You were given the assignment for you to learn.

If you come up with your own answer and post it for us to critique that is within reason.

If you have some SPECIFIC questions that you couldn't find or didn't understand, we may help with that.
But this is your assignment, so show us you have at least attempted to complete it on your own.

Thank you.
