The Polishing Department of Harbin Company has the following production and manufacturing cost data for September. Materials are entered at the beginning of the process.

Production: Beginning inventory 1,500 units that are 100% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion costs; units started during the period are 36,700; ending inventory of 7,500 units 10% complete as to conversion costs.


Manufacturing costs: Beginning inventory costs, comprised of $20,110 of materials and $-1,760 of conversion costs; materials costs added in Polishing during the month, $174,710; labor and overhead applied in Polishing during the month, $127,420 and $258,030, respectively.

Answer:

a. Materials  = 38,200 units and Conversion Costs = 31,200

b. Materials  = $5.10  and Conversion Costs =  $13.00

c. Transferred out = $55,670 and Ending work in process = $48,000

Explanation:

First calculate the number of physical units completed and transferred to finished goods.

units completed and transferred to finished goods = beginning inventory units + units started during the period - ending inventory units

Therefore,

units completed and transferred to finished goods = 1,500 + 36,700 - 7,500

                                                                                     = 30,700

Calculation of Equivalents Units of Production for Materials and Conversion Costs.

1. Materials

Ending Work In Process Inventory (7,500 × 100%) =   7,500

Completed and Transferred  (30,700 × 100%)        = 30,700

Equivalents Units of Production for Materials         = 38,200

2. Conversion Costs

Ending Work In Process Inventory (7,500 × 10%)   =       750

Completed and Transferred  (30,700 × 100%)        = 30,700

Equivalents Units of Production for Conversion     =  31,200

Calculation of Unit costs for materials and conversion costs for the month.

Unit Cost = Total Costs ÷ Total Equivalent Units

1. Materials

Unit Cost = ($20,110 +  $174,710) ÷ 38,200

                = $5.10

2. Conversion Costs

Unit Cost = ($20,110 + $127,420 + $258,030) ÷ 31,200

                = $13.00 (2 decimal places)

Calculation of the  costs to be assigned to the units transferred out and in process.

1. Transferred out

Cost = Number of units completed and transferred × total unit cost

        = 30,700 × ($5.10 + $13.00)

        = $55,670

2. Ending work in process

Cost = Material Cost + Conversion Cost

        = (7,500 × $5.10) + (750 × $13.00)

        = $48,000

On online sources such as social media, ratings websites, marketers often try and make recommendations to consumers based on their past browsing history, past stated preferences, or purchase history. For example, on Amazon, a customer is likely to receive product recommendations based on previous purchases, while on Netflix, a viewer is likely to get recommendations based on their viewing history. Marketers believe that by offering options close to a customer's preferences, they are more likely to see the recommendation accepted. Recently, this micro-targeting has received some criticism. Based on our discussions in class, the reason is:

Both the diversifiable risk and the market risk of your portfolio are likely to decline.d. The total risk of your portfolio should decline, and as a result, the expected rate of return on the portfolio should also decline.e. The diversifiable risk will remain the same, but the market risk will likely decline.

Recruitment sources are unlimited; therefore, an organization must decide how to reach the best sources of potential employees. Sources of recruitment include: internal and external sources, direct applicants, referrals, advertisements, electronic recruiting, public and private employment agencies, and colleges and universities. Evaluating the quality of recruiting sources can be done by compiling yield ratios that express the percentage of applicants who successfully move from one stage of the recruitment and selection process to another. In this exercise, please read the mini-case and answer the questions that follow. A large Midwestern university is opening a regional branch about an hour away from its main campus. Labor projections suggest that the company will need to hire about 200 new employees to fill cleaning, maintenance, security, and cafeteria entry-level positions. Because of traffic and bad winter weather, it is unlikely that many of the university's current staff will want to transfer to the regional branch. Most of the openings are for hands-on, manual labor jobs that do not require a college education, extensive computer skills, or office experience. The university would like to minimize the cost of its recruiting efforts.

1. Which of the following recruitment sources should the university use to fill its 200 positions?

a. Newspaper advertising
b. Colleges and universities
c. Electronic recruiting

2. Which of the following recruitment sources should the university avoid using to hire for its entry-level positions?
