Question
Furniture Co manufactures furniture and incurred the following costs during January:Timber 5,000Wages—assembly personnel DL 3,500Factory cleaner's wages MOH 10,000Administrative staff salaries 3,000Depreciation—sales office equipment 6,000Utilities, insurance—sales office 8,000Total costs$ 89,500The conversion costs are:
Solution
Conversion costs are the sum of direct labor and manufacturing overhead costs.
-
First, identify the direct labor (DL) costs. In this case, the wages for the assembly personnel and the factory supervisor are considered direct labor. So, 3,500 (factory supervisor) = $23,500.
-
Next, identify the manufacturing overhead (MOH) costs. In this case, the factory cleaner's wages, depreciation of factory equipment, and utilities and insurance for the factory are considered manufacturing overhead. So, 3,000 (depreciation) + 11,000.
-
Finally, add the direct labor and manufacturing overhead costs to find the total conversion costs. So, 11,000 (MOH) = $34,500.
Therefore, the conversion costs are $34,500.
